It's called Adobe Help Viewer and you can download it to your desktop. I sort of stumbled across a nice feature when searching the Help menu. All you do is choose your photo and authorize the upload to your flickr account. Many people use flickr and with Photoshop Elements 8 it is easy to upload to flickr. The Share section has also been enhanced. When creating a greeting card or anything else that needs to be resized, there are a number of tools available to accomplish this. If you are making a greeting card, for example, you have choices such as print with your own printer, use Shutterfly, etc.
When you are logged in to your account on, you can see the backup preferences available. You can now backup catalogs so they appear on more than one computer. You can, also, tag images and, then, when Photoshop Elements 8 analyses them, through people recognition, it can identify the same person in different images. D shows how you can click on a Smart Tag to see if any images in the Organizer screen have that characteristic. B and C show how the individual tags are applied to the images when automatically analyzed. When you open images in the Organizer, it will automatically scan the images for best photos and add "Smart Tags." You can click on the individual Smart Tags and see what images have those characteristics.Ī shows a list of the Smart Tags. The Organize screen allows for many formats to be shown such as Camera Raw (5.5). The bottom image (below) was created automatically without any fine tuning.Īnother new feature is the ability to open multiple images in the Edit Screen. You can do this automatically or manually. If a picture is unevenly lit, you can take a number of shots and then merge the areas that are properly exposed. You can use the Recompose tool to make images fit when creating scrapbook pages, photo books, and cards. When you access it, you have the option to see a video tutorial. This tool is excellent for both scenics and portraits. You can also mark parts of an image with the Removal tool (red). Those you want to protect, you highlight using the Protection tool (green). Using this powerful tool you can recompose an image making sure that key elements are kept as they appeared in the original photo and are not distorted.
#PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 8 FREE TRIAL FULL#
While the tools in Full Edit mode seem the same in both Photoshop Elements 7 and 8, tools have been added to version 8 such as the Recompose tool found in the fly-out of the Crop Tool, which one sees by default. You can click on the image in the grid that looks like the effect that you want. When you click on the grid, you will see nine options. To the left of all the controls you will notice a grid. The panels are moveable and can be positioned in different places on the screen. Notice that the Touch Up tools are now a part of the Tool Bar. Below is an example of some new additions to Guided Edit.Ĭhanges have been added to the Quick Edit menu and procedures have been arranged differently. Thus if you are new to image editing, you can have the program do most of the changes for you automatically.
In the Edit section you can work in either of three modes: Quick Fix, Guided Edit, and Full Edit. One of the aspects of this program that makes it so unique is that a beginner as well as a much more advanced user can find their own niche. However, you will notice a few changes such as the Welcome Screen. The format of Photoshop Elements 8 is similar to 7. In addition, in certain ways for the basic user it offers a lot more because you can edit using difference skill levels, organize your work and tag it to find it easily, and create and share projects. While Adobe Photoshop is more advanced with more options and costs a lot more, Adobe Photoshop Elements is basically a steal for the price. It gives the user the ability to Organize, Edit, Create, and Share. As I stated in my earlier reviews of Photoshop Elements, it is much more than just an image editing program. However, a brief description of the program is necessary. This review will mainly discuss those features new to Photoshop Elements 8. Each year new features are added and some are modified. Last Year I reviewed Photoshop Elements 7. This does not mean that you cannot purchase each separately and use them as independent programs, but there is a definite advantage to buying the bundle. For example, they can both share the same Organize panel as well as work together in different ways. While I will review each program separately, it is important to know that when you have both installed, they work together.
I am concurrently reviewing the bundle that contains both Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8.
