Make Photos Look Their Best
Photoshop Elements 6 software helps photo enthusiasts achieve desired
results quickly and easily. New features based on proprietary Photomerge®
technology let users easily combine the best facial expressions
and body language from a series of shots to create a single, perfect
group shot. The new Quick Selection Tool reduces a once time-consuming
select-and-adjust task to a single click. Photographers - beginner
to expert - can choose from one of three edit modes, each geared
toward a different experience level. A new Guided Edit mode helps
walk users through the steps of improving a photo. Photoshop Elements
6 software streamlines editing with clean, uncluttered screens that
draw focus to the photos, with new tabs providing simple access
to the many capabilities of the program. Additional enhancements
include an improved conversion tool that dramatically converts color
images into elegant, nuanced black-and-whites.
Create and Share Photos in Fun, Unique Ways
Photoshop Elements 6 software offers creative options to tell stories
in fun and engaging ways. Customizable layouts let users create
scrapbook pages, photo books, greeting cards and burn to CD/DVD
for high impact sharing which requires no previous experience. Additional
sharing options include ordering prints, creating personal online
albums for sharing photo creations on the web, and printing photos
into real U.S. postage stamps.
