Buy PE 6.0 or earlier
I have been an avid user of Photoshop Elements for years and recently 'upgraded' to PE 7.0. I am still looking for some sort of added value over PE 6.0. While the program functions adequately, it seems slower than the previous version, even on my quad-core system. Save your money until Adobe comes out with something that actually makes the price of this 'upgrade' worth your hard earned dollars. I would recommend picking up an older version of the software and saving yourself some money.
Organizer isn't converting from Elements 5 well
I have used Elements 3 and 5 with success, and read some good things about Elements 7 in photography magazines, so I decided to upgrade. However, I have not been able to find a way to import/convert the photos from Elements 5 organizer into Elements 7. Oh, I have the photos, but without their captions (Who wants to recaption over 600 photos? I sure don't!). Maybe someone else can tell me what I'm doing wrong, but I've wasted much of today just trying to get organizer to work, without even getting into the editor much at all.
I will be willing to change my opinion when someone can explain how I can get the import/convert to work like it should.
PE 6.0 is Better
Adobe Marketing must have been bored. PE 7.0 affords no meaningful enhancement to the functions of 6.0. A sharing feature if 7.0 is a gimmick, and adds nothing to function. I find the program seems to actually run more slowly on my quadcore system, than 6.0. Save your money -- buy 6.0 while its on clearance.
