I've used Elements since version 3 and have been using the organizer feature that comes along with it. I spent a lot of time using keywords,tags and ratings with my now 90 Gigs of pictures. I switched to a MAC and bought the Elements 8 for the mac. It does not have the organizer and can not import my catalog with all my info. I don't understand how they can make a product and promote features and then cut them out. I am know in the process of getting a refund from Adobe and have made the switch to Aperture.

This is an update with new features which works as advertised. More of a Macintosh look/feel would be appreciated in future updates.

I run CS4 at home on my windows machine but wanted something that I could use on the road for my Mac. I purchased Elements 8.0 thinking it was going to be a great, easy to use program for editing pictures quickly from my hotel room...wrong! After I installed the program I was greeted by the familiar Adobe Bridge, no issues. The problems started when I attempted to edit a raw photo in Adobe Raw which is supposed to be included with Elements 8.0. Every time I right click and ask to open Adobe Raw, I get an error saying I need to first open a qualifying product. I did get it to open once however, now I just get the never ending spin of death icon when I attempt to open a raw image and I have to force quit. Second issue, whenever I attempt to open a raw image in Elements I get the same spinning death icon, I waited five minutes at one point for it to open a raw image...no dice and had to force quit. So, I deactivated and re-installed. When I went to re-install I saw that Adobe PSE had somehow eaten 600mb of my hard drive, I had 70GB the first time and 69.4GB during the second installation. I just finished up the re-install and I am having the same problems. I am going to try a fresh version of snow leopard and see if it works. Frustrating to say the least, I thought Macs were supposed to be pain free.

For the casual user like me, it works great and does more than I'll probably ever need. Simple to use quickly, with easy to use features. I can get the results I need and I haven't had to read the first page of instruction. Bridge seems usable, and give a quick way to find the best shots and manage all of them too.
