Adobe to launch Photoshop Elements 2.0
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
July 14th 2002
Even before the software hits the streets analysts question the apps price, tools and
ease of use
News.com reports that Adobe will announce version 2.0 of its widely-used Photoshop
Elements. This app is scheduled for a Q3 release and will likely sell for $99.
Photoshop Elements is essentially a stripped-down version of Photoshop with a
user-friendly interface.
News.com quotes Mark Dahm, product manager, Adobe, as saying, "We''re taking the core
of the Photoshop engine and redesigning some of the features to make them easier to
use and make the core functions more accessible. Plus, we''ve added some functions
Photoshop doesn''t have."
New features in v2.0 are said to include:
��An enhanced file browser that makes it easier to find and rename images,
��A QuickFix tool that does one-click color correction and other basic image
enhancement.
��An e-mail feature that automatically resizes and reformats images for sending by
e-mail.
��One-click capture of still images from videos.
��Tools for combing multiple images into a single slide-show file, based on Adobe''s
PDF document format.
Elements won''t have the Healing Brush, a retouching tools that was one of the most
impressive additions to the current version of Photoshop, according to News.com
Some experts, however, feel that Adobe has missed the mark with v2.0 in that the
program is too expensive and too difficult for the average user.
