And the sharing efficiencies actually make it feasible to show you were there. The conveniences of the Organizer are greatly appreciated when you return from some event with a card full of images. The Organizer got face recognition (in Elements 8), the Editor got the Healing Brush, more cool tricks were included as well as more ways to share. Over the years Elements has evolved, adding more and more new technology into its affordable and approachable package. But it doesn't teach you how to get from one to the other - or even when to use the first. When we recently reviewed ACDSee Pro 5, we took pains to show 1) how simple it was to automatically enhance an image and 2) how the program could also handle far more complex image edits, like split toning. But the reason we've always been fond of Elements is quite different: Learn. Adobe describes its Photoshop/Premiere Elements package with four words: Organize, Edit, Create and Share.
