The software will retail for $89.99 (a $10 increase), with the upgrade available for $70, and is available for pre-order right now, if you can't wait to get your hands on it. Justin: As for the release date, the original estimate given was "early 2008," which seems to have revised a bit to become an "early" in the second quarter of 2008.

After some practice, the novice can then graduate to "Quick" mode, and then Full mode that offers all the tools with no extra fluff. Guided Edit mode is really helpful for those just getting started with photo editing-it provides detailed instructions and explanations alongside commonly-used, basic tools, which is so essential for the user that is just starting out. The UI is also a lot darker than in the past, which Adobe says "helps the photos pop" against the background. I really liked that a lot, and it looked plenty usable by someone who isn't a techie (like, say, my mother). For example, if you have a bunch of family members that can't seem to all look at the camera at the same time and you have a handful of photos to choose from, Photomerge will easily let you combine the best elements of all the photos into one, master photo to rule them all.

Not only can it help you create panoramic shots out of a series of shots (something that Elements customers had already, although Adobe claims to have improved it in this version), it can combine any series of photos into one, perfect photo.

As mentioned above, Photomerge looks pretty darn cool, and hopefully it's actually as seamless as a professional demo makes it seem. Jacqui: The entire demo is too much for a single paragraph, but despite being highly skeptical, I came away impressed and look forward to playing with Elements 6 more during Macworld next week. If you want another opinion, Jacqui was on the receiving end of the Adobe press conference, and had a few thoughts on the software as well. I'll probably reserve judgment until I see the final product, though. So do the new features make Photoshop Elements 6 a winner? We're still not sure, and we still think Adobe needs to dawdle less in such a crowded market, but it's looking a bit better. More advanced editing tools like color curves and black-and-white conversion have also been updated. What it is getting are the features new to the Windows version, including the Photomerge tool for combining the best parts of various pictures-Jacqui's favorite feature, after having watched a demo yesterday-the new "Quick Selection Tool," and a new Guided Edit mode to complement the Quick and Full editing modes. Despite skipping a whole version number, Elements isn't getting any huge new features. Previously, the only information available was that the Mac version would be coming "sometime in 2008." Now that Macworld is approaching, Adobe has finally made an official announcement regarding Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac, and the application is looking pretty competitive despite the delays. Although we haven't heard much about the Mac version of the software, we've heard plenty about Adobe's Photoshop Elements 6 following the Windows launch of the product in September.
