SAN JOSE, Calif. - Jan. 10, 2008 - Adobe
Systems Incorporated today announced the
highly anticipated Adobe Photoshop
Elements 6 software for Macintosh is now
available for pre-order at
www.adobe.com/go/buyphotoshop_elements_mac.
Photoshop
Elements 6 software for Mac combines
power and simplicity so consumers at all
experience levels can easily achieve
outstanding results with their digital
photos. In advance of its early Q2 2008
ship date, the Macintosh
community will get its first peek at the
new product features during the Macworld
Conference & Expo, Jan. 14-17, 2008 in
San Francisco (Booth #S1302).
"We're excited to showcase a brand new
version of Photoshop Elements at
Macworld," said John Loiacono, senior
vice president of Creative Solutions at
Adobe. "In this release, we've focused
on going beyond the basics to make
everyday and advanced tasks even easier
to achieve.
Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh
allows people to organize and find
photos quickly, unleash powerful editing
tricks without any heavy lifting, and
creatively share photos that give them
all the bragging rights."
Make Photos Look Their Best
Photoshop Elements 6 software helps
photo enthusiasts achieve desired
results quickly and easily. New features
based on proprietary Photomerge
technology let users easily combine the
best facial expressions and body
language from a series of shots to
create a single, perfect group shot.
The new Quick Selection Tool reduces a
once time-consuming select-and-adjust
task to a single click. Photographers -
beginner to expert - can choose from one
of three edit modes, each geared toward
a different experience level. A new
Guided Edit mode helps walk users
through the steps of improving a photo.
Photoshop Elements 6 software
streamlines editing with clean,
uncluttered screens that draw focus to
the photos, with new tabs providing
simple access to the many
capabilities of the program. Additional
enhancements include an improved
conversion tool that dramatically
converts color images into elegant,
nuanced black-and-whites.
Create and Share Photos in Fun, Unique
Ways
Photoshop Elements 6 software offers
creative options to tell stories in fun
and engaging ways. Customizable layouts
let users create scrapbook pages, photo
books, greeting cards and burn to CD/DVD
for high impact sharing which requires
no previous experience. Additional
sharing
options include ordering prints,
creating personal online albums for
sharing photo creations on the web,
printing photos into real U.S. postage
stamps, and showcasing creations on a
CEIVA Digital Photo Frame.
