Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good combination for amateur editing, but does not work well with Vista and Windows 7.If you're new to this software, it's pretty intuitive and gives you an easy way to edit your pictures and video. However with resident and free programs getting better every day, one expects the Adobe programs to simply work and work well. However, it is not the case if you're using Vista or even Windows 7. It really slows down the performance, and I have a pretty powerful system so I am mystified. Some of the free programs seem to work faster. Having used the pro versions of both Photoshop and Premiere I think Elements gives all the tools needed for casual/amateur photo and video editing and the interface is nicer than some other programs. However, one wishes that there were less compatibility issues and everything would work seamlessly. You also need a lot of space for these programs so if you plan to use them on your notebook make sure you get a more powerful system. Rating:  - Slow with Windows 7I am new to Photoshop and Premiere, and I have to say that I found neither program particularly newbie friendly. I also don't like that I am asked to sign up for online features to use the full potential of the software. Both programs run sluggish under Windows 7, and they frequently go inactive (not responding) during use. Start up and shut down are extremely slow, and moving from one window to the next within the programs will often cause a crash. I suspect this is a compatibility issue with this older version of the software and Windows 7, but I thought it worthwhile mentioning for anyone considering this version with Windows 7. Rating:  - Great!My boyfriend bought this for me, I absolutely love it. He bought it for me for college since I want to be a photojounralist and he said that this may help me. I learned this product in no time. I love to edit pictures with it, I submitted a picture yesterday. Videos edits are great too, If I could log onto youtube while I was at school I would give you the link to my newest video, which I edited with Premiere. :] It's a great program, both are. Rating: - great packageHaving used Premiere Elements since 3, The 7 upgrade seems to be better. I am a new photographer also, & Photoshop 7 is an excellent tool for "tweaking" photos. So many options & tools to learn about. Rating: - Lots of features, but stability under Vista isn't one of them.It's taken me a long time to get to writing a review of this product for a relatively simple reason. First, it would not install under Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit until I had to do a complete reinstall of the operating system. Both parts of the package did install under Vista Home Premium 64-bit, but stability has been a problem, particularly with Premiere Elements 7. In preparation for this review, as a matter of fact, I was working on a small editing project. After about a half hour of work splitting and trimming scenes, I reached a point where I could add a transition, a simple dissolve. Well, I would have added a dissolve if Premiere Elements hadn't frozen on me. I've given it about 15 minutes in hopes of the problem resolving itself and it has not. Adobe Premiere Elements has been under a lot of pressure from competitive products at around the same price point. The Premiere product has lots of features. It is not at all intuitive, however, and Adobe was one of the first to monetize everything about its products. Why provide a decent manual with the product when you could make more money selling the manual as a book, like the "official training workbooks from Adobe Systems"? As a result, the help files aren't very complete.When it works, Premiere is competitive with other similarly priced products from Magix, Sony, Pinnacle and others. With Version 8 around the corner, I am not in a great hurry to upgrade unless I see some evidence that Premiere 8 is more stable. All the features in the world are meaningless if the program keeps crashing. Photoshop Elements 7 is more dependable and, in my opinion, still ranks as a very versatile photo editing package. Again, Adobe provides pretty poor documentation so if you are new to Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, prepare to spend more on books that stand in for the manual that should have come with the program. I've used the Elements packages for some time. Version 7 suffers from feature bloat and code obesity. On fairly powerful computers, both Premiere and Photoshop Elements ran slowly and I have already mentioned their instability. I think caution is in order both with version 7 and the soon to be released version 8, especially considering that Adobe has effectively raised the price of the upgrade. These have been very troublesome applications for me under Vista. I have not tried them with Windows XP or the soon-to-be-released Windows 7. Jerry
