Video Friendly
I was looking for a program to help me build still images for iMovie and Photoshop Elements fit the bill perfectly. It was easy to learn how to use and worked well for creating title slides for my iMovie projects.

Caution: OSX 10.5 File System Requirement
Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac will not install if your hard drive is formatted using Case Sensitive Journaled HFS+. This requirement is not mentioned in the Elements 6 documentation.

The current fix is to reformat your hard drive using non-case sensitive HFS+. Mac users who need the case sensitive drive format are out of luck with Elements 6 at this time.

You can check how your hard drive is formatted by looking in ->About this Mac->More Info->Hardware->Serial-ATA (if you are using a MacBook Pro).

Great Product but be sure not to download a free trial from Adobe's website
Adobe Photoshop Elements (PSE) 6 is exactly what it says it is - a large portion of ordinary photoshop at a fraction of the price. I use PSE mostly for working up my photos and it seems to have all the tools and corrective measures that I need. A few words of warning - if you're planning on purchasing this DO NOT download a free 30-day trial of PSE6 from Adobe's website. I did so thinking that the product key which I received with this product would be functional for the free trial - well it isn't. I then tried to install from the PSE6 disc from Amazon - that doesn't work either. To complicate matters further, unlike most Mac software, PSE6 isn't packaged and so it is NOT easy to un-install (Even the read-me says not to drag the files into the trash). The only solution to un-installing the free trial of PSE6 so you can use your recently purchased version is to run the install from the disk image (.dmg file) that you installed the free trial from and to select it to uninstall. For some reason, the Adobe install utility (found in Applications/utilities/Adobe) does not work. In the end, it's a great piece of software but be sure not to use the free trial first.

Fun!
I'm having a great time learning Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac! There's so many fun and helpful things you can do with your photos. It was extremely intimidating at first, however, as I had no clue what to do. After purchasing a book, given a different book AND having taken two classes about Photoshop, I'm finally feeling like I know what I'm doing. As a side note, if you're working with an Apple computer, you do not have to use the "bridge" to move photos from iPhoto to Photoshop for editing. You can set your preferences to send it there directly and it will return to iPhoto if you select "save" (not "save as"). I'm pleased with the product and hope to learn much more as I experiment and enjoy transforming ordinary photos into "works of art" (perhaps only appreciated by me, but -- hey -- why not?) :-)

excellent value
This is an excellent value for anyone wanting to learn photoshop without buying the whole package. It is also good training for other graphic packages to learn the ins and outs of the toolbars and palettes.
