I will therefore not lose myself in my review of Photoshop Elements 10 in detail, but merely emphasize a plus and a minus:
First, the +
For some time I am in charge of designing a book club. Since my usual word processing programs like MS Word is not layout the necessary security brought (pasted images lopsided, heels were uncontrolled umgebochen etc), I tried it with Photoshop Elements. This has as a classic image editing, however the lack to dominate not justified - even the professional Photoshop can's far! As I helped me where I downloaded a Testverion Photoshop, produced a text box with it and it saved the Pictures as justified text. Then I put out the trial version and opened the justification in Photoshop Elements.
This little trick went smoothly because Photoshop Elements is not only a more or less "compatible" replacement for the big brother Photoshop; Photoshop Elements is Photoshop, albeit with a limited feature set. So it does not behave like Microsoft Word and Microsoft Works word processor where the latter the parent product hardly understood and their products could be adopted only more bad than good.

His nutrition is modest because it overwhelmed the layman because of its complexity, while the Qualified by ingenious folder structure and file name, possibly supplemented by a solution tailored to personal needs database, much better moves.
The "Organizer" is automatically written in the rest of the plate, so it can not "custom" installation can be omitted as part of a. Annoying!
