Adobe Photoshop Elements 4

Adobe combined the image-editing features of Photoshop Elements with the organizational expertise of Photoshop Album for Photoshop Elements 3, which became a benchmark for image editing-organizing juxtapositions.

With Photoshop Elements 4, you will find some better tools plus enhancement for a few tools present in version 3. The supreme amalgamation of Photoshop Elements and Photoshop Album result in yet another top quality final product- Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.

One of the most notable enrichments is in the Organizer's slide show creation tool. It will now be possible to add Ken Burns–style panning and zooming effects to slide shows.

There is a clever Quick Reorder window which sees to it that you don’t need to take the pains of scrolling through the horizontal timeline for slide rearrangements. Furthermore, it is also possible to incorporate Windows Media–compatible video clips in the slide show.

You will find two new Organizer features that make use of artificial intelligence for scanning photo contents. While importing photos, the Organizer tries to eliminate the red-eye disturbances. However, the feature is rather haphazard and so exploiting the Editor's red-eye removal tool is a more sensible option.

Another novel inclusion is a face-tagging command. Here the Organizer is capable of recognizing human faces within photos (general and not specific). For user convenience, the outcome is displayed in a separate window.

You are sure to love the Adjust Colour feature for Skin Tone. Using this feature, colour accuracy can be enhanced by proper alterations. A Straighten tool erects slanted pictures and there are improvements in the Crop tool too.

From the editing aspect, a new selection technology has been integrated for Magic Selection Brush and Magic Extractor command. You can roughly paint a colour overlay, say red, on image areas you prefer to select and another colour overlay, say blue, for ones you want to deselect. Securitizing this, the Editor gets a good idea of what you want to select. While traditional colour combinations are recognized easily, more complex ones deliver inadequate results. Also, the Magic Extractor’s tools are rather puzzling and, to make matters worse, the process takes an irritatingly long time. It’s actually better to stick to some of the tried and tested tools.

Though some of the advancements don’t quite deliver desired results, there are enough accurate tools to fall back on. Being so, Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 is still the supreme image editing/organizing combo.
