Most computer users are familiar with newer versions of their favorite software program coming on the market. With each new version you are usually guaranteed something new and exciting and this is certainly true with Adobe software programs. A common mistake is that older versions will no longer work and I am very glad to say that this is completely untrue. Older versions of updated software will continue to perform just as they always did. Unfortunately you will not receive any of the newer features or upgraded support elements unless you update your software.

Adobes first foray into the digitial editing arena was with Photoshop and it soon became apparent to the software developers that they also needed a ?lite? version for those who only wanted photo editing capabilities without all the bells and whistles that accompany Photoshop. Giving into this need they created Photoshop Elements which allows people to easily edit their photos without needing loads of training first.

As with most programs, Elements has been reworked a few times and Adobe is currently releasing version 7. In my opinion Adobe Elements 7 is probably the smartest version of Elements ever. With version 7 Adobe has increased the number of tools available, making it more closely resemble the professional version of Photoshop. Now, when using Photoshop Elements, you are able to edit your photos just as if you had done it professionally with the Photoshop software.

The user-interface, or desktop, is another change which makes the program more user friendly than previous versions. Now, if you are still currently using earlier versions of Adobe Elements you might be wondering what the new features include.

Elements 7 has an organizer which will allow you to label your images so you can easily sort and find them whenever you need them. This is very good for you can be working on some images simultaneously, so the organizer will allow you to sort the images as projects which you can access with ease. Then there is the fix feature. This feature will give you all the most commonly used tools when trying to edit an image. So the common tools you will be readily given will be the smudge, blur and sharpen tool.

If you enjoy making personalized items you will especially enjoy the create panel which helps you create items such as calendars, slideshows, etc. To use this feature you simply need to drag your image to the create panel and then decide on which project you would like to make. It is an incredible tool for making personalized gifts for friends and family.

The most impressive feature on Adobe Elements 7 is the share feature. With this feature you will be able to share your photo albums via the Internet using programs like face book and other community networks. You will also be able to send your image using the share feature via e-mail. If you wish to save your images on removable media the share feature allows you to copy your images on CD/DVD.

I have only touched on a few of the incredible new features available in Elements 7. You can try it out for yourself; Adobe offers a free 30 day trial period on their website.
