Software Reviews of Adobe Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 7 [OLD VERSION]

Customer Review: Very Impressive Product
Summary: 5 Stars

I haven't used Adobe Photoshop or Premiere for years. I must say I am very impressed with the new features now that I am learning about the programs (I highly recommend getting 'Classroom In A Book" that is availible for this same double featured software if you haven't used the programs for a while. I am just partway through the photoshop tutorial, but from what I've seen so far, it all appears to be well thought out.

I was concerned about installing the programs, especially Photoshop elements 7, on my new HP computer. It came with Windows Vista 64-bit operating system which Microsoft says won't work with Photoshop Elements 7. Nevertheless, both programs installed and operate flawlessly.

My one complaint is the obsessive push by Adobe for users to sign up for and to use their service, photoshop.com. I found tricks on how to mask the promo messages from the startup screens on the Internet, but it still occasionally pops up, haunting me like an ex-wife. Even the Elements 7 tutorial book I recommended Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 and Adobe Premiere Elements 7 Classroom in a Book Collectionhypes this fee-based service.

Overall, I highly recommend this product.

Customer Review: Not fit for slideshows
Summary: 1 Stars

I use Adobe CS4 Web Premium and Lightroom for nearly all my work and have been very happy with the software and service. I purchased PSE7 and PRE7 to prepare a slideshow with easy to add title slides rather than using Lightroom for the slideshow due to some of its limitations. There's been no improvement in the slideshow aspects of PSE7 than there was in PSE2 or PSE4, which I own. I thought these would have been fixed by now.

Text on title slides does not reproduce consistently from media to media, such as PDF versus mpg and working with text is poor at best. I used 6 audio files (about same total length as the show) but only four played and started replaying from the first file in the middle of the show never playing the fifth and sixth. I encountered other problems as well. Adobe tech support was no help in resolving the issues. I returned the product to Amazon and purchased ProShow Gold. Got my slideshow done the first time without problems.

I've used PSE on occasion to do editing work on photos and its excellent at what it does. But if you want to do slideshows forget about it. Adobe should either fix the problem or sell the product off to someone who will fix and service it.

Customer Review: Photoshop and Premiere elements 7
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this software with anticipation of doing picture editing and video editing. I have played with it a little, but have not had a chance to dig in a lot. I plan on doing that soon. I anticipate excellent results based on what I have done so far. I do plan on getting some complementary books to shorten my learning curve.

Customer Review: Great for your Digital Photos
Summary: 5 Stars

Great software easy to use. Retouches your bad photos quickly. Just great for novice photographers. Great way to create albums and slideshows.

Customer Review: horrid
Summary: 1 Stars

Tried to use premiere, with quick start,did not work or download anything. Directions are useless. If I didnt already download it and register it I would stuff it in the box and send it back.
