AND it can work out which scenes were blurry, out of focus etc and tag them with that before you get started (major time saver). I also love how the program will automatically separate scenes for you based on where you stopped and started the camera. The import system is far easier to navigate than more high end programs - it actually seems that plug-and-play really works for Premiere Elements. The program itself is also fairly intuitive but far more powerful than the likes of iMovie or MovieMaker. Somewhat dwarfs the Photoshop quick start guide, but it is thorough and easy to follow. If you are in any way a fan of the pen tool then this version of Photoshop is not for you. Oh, and where is my pen tool?!?! I suppose I can understand Adobe thinking that it was too complicated to explain how to use the pen tool (the documentation supporting Photoshop was somewhat minimal) but still! *sigh* The only things I have actually noticed missing from Photoshop Elements compared with the full Photoshop product is the ability to have layers grouped into folders and sub-folders. You can even load custom brushes for those special painting effects you've been longing to play with. There is red-eye remover, lighting and colour adjusters, fun effects to play with and most of the traditional filters from previous versions of Photoshop. It is a nice interface with big happy looking buttons and Adobe have made it very easy to do the things that most people would want to do to their photos (or in their films). I found myself spending hours in the 'organize' tab in Photoshop just tagging my photos with all these different custom tags I knew would make finding them again a lot easier.

The Photoshop and Premiere Elements 7 package is a good, compact bundle, with both programs interacting with the other and making organization of files easy and, dare I say, fun! This Review: 8.0/10 Value for Money: Documentation: Ease of Use: Functionality:
