Adobe releases Photoshop Elements 8

Filed under: Photo, Windows, Macintosh, Adobe, Commercial, Windows x64

Yesterday Adobe announced the latest version of Photoshop Elements, their slightly-lighterweight consumer-oriented photo editing application. New features in the Windows release include Photomerge Exposure which combines differently-exposed shots of the same scene to create uniformly-exposed shots (similar to High Dynamic Range photos), improved Online Sharing, and people recognition (much like Picasa).

For Photoshop Elements 8 on the Mac (which ships in October), there's Bridge CS4 for image management, scene cleaning - to remove objects like people or cars across multiple photos - and TouchUp brushes to easily improve your snaps.

Photoshop Elements costs US$99 for the Mac or Windows edition - and Windows users can also pick up Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8 in a bundle for US$149. Windows users can also download a trial version of Photoshop Elements from the Adobe website.

If you're not convinced by Elements, we've covered a few alternatives recently on Download Squad: Paint.NET and GIMP 2.8 for Windows, and Pixelmator and Acorn for Mac OS X.
