   Pros: Easy image editor, quick start,

   Cons: 200+meg file, too many features, crowded workarea

   Strengths: Fast start up. Quick image editor, many useful tools
   
   Weaknesses: Large program over 200 megs. Becomes image default viewer for computer. Don't need all of the bells and whistles.
   
   The program has been updated to include: quick fix flaws, fine tune photos, artistic effects. Crop shape tool, healing brush, organizing photos. You can find photos by categorizing using keywords tags, Find photos in the "Date View" or from a specific time using "Timeline". You can also create slide shows, photo email, download to PDA(Palm only) or cellphones.
   
   The working canvas area is a bit crowded and it gets confusing. There is a lot going on with images. You have a "file browser". File organizer. This program is for more advance users. The first time user might get intimated by all of the interface options.
   
   What I like best is the "quick fix options". The program gets it right most of the time. Since color correction is not an exact science, this will help most digital photograhers. I do miss the fancy word art options that 2.0 had. The "crop shape" tool is probably not necessary. The other vector shape objects are very helpful. This is where I would have hoped the Adobe would have focused on developing further. The healing brush, and spot healing brush are useful. Improved "red eye removal" is excellent. I like and use the effects and styles palette. The camera raw option is overdue for serious digital photographers. On my system the crop tool gets a little buggy. The images in second or third windows tend to be too large. I have to resize just to see my workspace.
   
   
   I don't use or need the photomail, or photo organizer. Actually is a big pain. You can't install this program without it. It becomes the computer image default browser, opening up photoshop elements each time you want to view an image or clip art. There should have been a customize option to leave that portion out. Some how this program trys to do too much too soon. It should instead focus on image editing, vector and advance color correction options and printing. I have and used "Photoshop CS". But sometimes I get lazy and just want to point and click and edit photos on the fly.
   
   
   Photoshop Elements 3.0 is a good product that trys to please everyone. ...
