Photoshop, in either Elements or Creative Suite versions, remains relevant to Lightroom features for more intensive editing involving effects, layers and other Photoshop-specific tools. Another Adobe solution, Photoshop Lightroom, in my opinion offers a better and more elegant way of both managing large numbers of photos and also making routing image quality edits. Photographers may also want to consider if the Organiser aspect of Photoshop Elements is the best solution for managing their photos. However, if you already have version 8 or 9, you may want to think hard before deciding to upgrade as version 10 is very much a mild evolution rather than a major update. Overall, Photoshop Elements 10 is a very powerful bit image editing tool for artists, designers and photographers who can't justify the considerable expense of investing in the full professional Creative Suite version of Photoshop. ![]() (Click image above to open a larger view in a new window) We've drawn a path along top edge of the blue thread using the Text on Custom Path Tool, then entered the text and rotated the text slightly to improve the fit.

The flow text tools supplement the existing text tools in the toolbox. This can be done using selected areas, shapes, or by drawing a path. Perhaps one of the more useful new features in Photoshop Elements 10 is the ability to flow text along pre-determined paths.

Mac users get to search by colour or shape for the first time Duplicate images and other images with similar content can also be targeted in searches. It's a bit hit and miss but has potential. It's now also possible to attempt searching through your photos and videos using objects as the search criteria.

In Photoshop Elements 10 there are some new brush effects, guided edits, tools to improve cropping, the ability to flow text around objects and paths, the ability to export images as PDF files and there are some internet connectivity bonuses, so you can tag your photos using your Facebook friends list and export slide shows to YouTube. It has to be said that there are no obviously revolutionary new features in either Photoshop Elements 10 or Premiere Elements 10. We've spent some time exploring the new features offered in Elements 10: Photoshop Elements 10 Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements are available separately or together in bundle package. Over the years both have evolved to be increasingly sophisticated and more integrated. Adobe later added a similarly reduced feature and cheaper version of its Premiere video editing package. It only seems like yesterday that Adobe announced version 9 of Adobe Premiere and Photoshop Elements but it was actually almost exactly a year ago and version 10 announced today marks the tenth year of the Elements product line that started with a cheaper and less powerful version of Photoshop. ![]()
