    Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 software combines innovation and simplicity to help you work with and enhance your digital photos with some of the industry's most powerful tools. With Elements 4.0, you can fix common flaws instantly, or show off your creativity in a wide variety of entertaining ways by using your photos to create cards, calendars, and much more.



    Easily access your photos and add, delete, or move folders using the Folder View. Even create folders to hold collections.


    Adjust skin tones for a more natural look, even in poorly lit photos.


    Easily select by brushing over any element of your photo to make a range of adjustments to a specific area or object.
    Make Quicker Fixes Than Ever Before
    For starters, Elements 4.0 offers users more precise controls that allow you to adjust specific areas of a photo in less time and even remove red eye automatically. The software's Quick Fix mode lets you perform a full range of common photo adjustments, including color, contrast, and lighting, and skin tones can be easily adjusted for a more natural look, even in poorly lit photos. You can even compare "before" and "after" views that instantly let you see the effects of your adjustments.



    Perform a full range of common photo adjustments -- such as color, contrast, and lighting -- in the convenient Quick Fix mode.


    Easily upload your photos to a personal online album that can be updated with new photos at any time. Family and friends can view your photos and instantly order prints.


    Turn your digital pictures into professional-quality Kodak prints, or create a memorable hardbound photo book. Both are delivered directly to your door.
    When it comes time to retouching your photos, no problem. Elements 4.0 lets you easily brush over any element of your photo to make a range of adjustments to a specific area or object. For instance, you can use the Magic Selection Brush and Magic Extractor tool to isolate objects from backgrounds quickly and easily, even in complex, textured areas. You can also remove entire backgrounds, leaving foregrounds untouched, or place your friends on the top of Mount Everest or in front of the Taj Majal as if they were really there. The Spot Healing Brush lets you instantly brush away wrinkles and other unwanted objects. For more fine tuning of exposure and lighting, you can work directly with the raw image file from your camera by converting the raw files to the universal Digital Negative (DNG) format to help ensure you'll always be able to open and use your photo files in the future.

    Effortless Color Corrections and Photo Management
    Once you have touched up your photos, you can compare a range of color variations side by side with your original photo and select the best choice with a single click. To get the best overall color possible with your photos, Elements 4.0 offers easy slider controls for color temperature and tint. To rescue poorly lit shots, you can easily adjust shadows and highlights, lighten the shadows and reduce the glare of highlights. And with 16-bit support, you'll get smoother and more precise color results than ever before.

    Do you already have hundreds of photos in your computer that you are ready to work with? Elements 4.0 offers extensive photo management capabilities that will make managing and editing your digital files a cinch. For instance, Elements 4.0 lets you type titles and labels right onto your photos and edit them at any time. An enhanced font menu and easy-to-use interface gives you the option of quickly choosing from a wide option of fonts. If you're working with multiple photos, you can save hours of effort through the software's automatic batch processes. With this time-saving feature, you can remove red eye, rename, resize, convert formats, adjust levels, add text, and more in a single step. You can also save time by scanning several photos at once. Elements 4.0 will automatically divide, straighten, and save each photo separately.

    And when it's time to final the exact photo you need, Elements 4.0 includes several management features that will make your life much easier. Easily access your photos and add, delete, or move folders using the Folder View. You can even create folders to hold entire collections and organize by filename, date, file type, and many other properties. Flip through photos in a full-screen slide show and rate your favorites, apply color labels, rotate photos, change display size, and show captions. With expanded metadata search parameters, you can quickly find and preview any photo in a matter of seconds. These enhanced search options let you search from a wide range of metadata options, such as f-stop, digital camera model, and even exposure values. You can also use keywords to pinpoint your search. Looking for a photo of just Jack, but not Jack and Jill? Elements 4.0 will find it for you.

    Printing and Uploading Features
    When you're ready to share your photos, Elements 4.0 will help you to create a personal online album that can be updated with new photos at any time so that family and friends can view your photos and instantly order prints. You also have the option of uploading your photos to order professional-quality Kodak prints, or use Adobe Photoshop Services to create your own calendars, greeting cards, or beautiful hardbound photo books that can also be delivered directly to your doorstep. (Services may vary depending on region.) And if you just want to print your photos on your own, Elements 4.0 lets you quickly drop your photos into Picture Packages that let you print photos from your desktop printer in a variety of flexible layouts.

    3 out of 5 stars Element 4 for mac good, but sloooooooow!!!   August 31, 2008
    G. Smith (south)
    I've use PS element 4 for PC and now have PS element 4 for mac. It's pretty much the same except for one things...and that 1 thing makes it frustrating. There is only a edit tap. there is no view and Organize tap. They now have a different component, which i can't seem to load. Also, the process is very slow. I upgraded my Macbook to 2Gig Ram and still it crawls. When i ope PSElement 4, i go make a pot of coffee, drink a cup, watch a little tv, play a song on the guitar and the return only to see it still frozen. But eventually, it comes up.

    James C. Kellett (Harrisonburg, VA United States)
    I'm not a graphics professional, just looking for a modest editing and image browsing program for my new Mac, something comparable to ACDSee and Photoshop I used in Windows. Elements is not it. It does reasonable editing, and at about the same level of technical detail I need, but the software denies access to the bridge browsing program, saying I have to have other Adobe programs installed! Duhhh. . so now I can't even browse thumbnails of my image files with it!

    I'm not real impressed with this vers. of Photoshop Elements. I thought version 1 was better. This is good for basic photo editing and that's about it. Looke for version 6.0 for the mac in 2008.

    Beware...this and all earlier versions of Elements will NOT work on Macs with Intel processors, i.e., the majority of newer Macs. However, Elements 6.0 for Mac due out at the end of March is created to work with the Intel processors so make sure you buy the product that matches your Mac's PROCESSOR TYPE .rather than its operating system.

    A very early version of this software was included with the first Mac I bought about 12 years ago. Wow! How nice to be able to use this upgraded version which has more features but still serves up an easy-to-use interface.

    Software loaded fast, installed in one try, and has neither crashed nor gotten "the slows" during my first three months of use. (I'm running it on a Mac iBook G4.)

    This is a fine program for the beginner because the basics of photo editing, card making and some other graphic tasks can easily be done even without extensive reference to the help sections. But if help is needed, the help section is decent.

    The intermediate user will find lots of useful features including multiple graphic layers, several layers of edit undos (boy, I love undos--:) ), and good tool palette.

    I strongly recommend this software for beginners who don't want to pay the higher price and face the steep learning curve for programs like Adobe's full Photoshop program. For the average, non-professional graphics creator or even for the less sophisticated pro photographer, this program is excellent.
