In this review, we'll look at the image editing features shared by both versions. It does not have the Album-inspired organizing or sharing features but does integrate nicely as iPhoto's image editor.
The $89.99 Mac version for OS X adds the Cookie Cutter to create decorative edges. The $99.99 Windows version for XP/2000 adds 1) an organizer that seems borrowed from Album, 2) themed photo email using decorative backgrounds and frames, 3) Photo Compare to see several images side by side, 4) integrated image archiving with keywords to CD or DVD and 5) Quick Fix.
Flexible print options including multiple images, contact sheets and labels. Dynamic PDF slide shows with transitions, captions, music and narration. A command to divide a page of scanned photos into individual image files. A Photo Bin to quickly switch among several open images. A Cookie Cutter tool to crop photos in predefined shapes. A Styles & Effects palette with over 100 customizable filters, effects and layer styles. New and improved automatic image enhancement tools including Smart Fix, Shadow/Highlight Adjustment and revised Redeye Removal. Healing Brush and Spot Healing Brush to wipe away image flaws. And we can tell you both versions include the following new features: We spent no little time comparing Mac and Windows version 2 with this latest release to uncover exactly what was new. The Windows and Macintosh versions do not share the same feature set. We remain a bit perplexed, however, by the twin versions. Elements 3.0 lays some cornerstones for imaging we find very exciting. We'd look it up in the Help system and find out a whole new architecture had been implemented. As we used the new version, we kept interrupting ourselves to ask how they implemented this or that. There's always more to Adobe than meets the eye.Īnd that goes double for Elements 3.0. A movement inspired by the Spot and then the Pixel. Sometimes we wonder if it's a company at all. Still, how could Adobe possibly improve its competent entry-level image editing software famous for its extraordinary HTML Help and Tutorials on image editing? It wasn't broke, but at that rate, Adobe might be. 
It's been over two years since Elements has been updated. The Imaging Resource Digital Photography Newsletter XMP, RAW & A FUN INTERFACE Elements 3.0.
