Adobe Announces Photoshop Elements 4 for the Mac

Adobe Announces Photoshop Elements 4 for the Mac

by , 8:35 AM EST, February 27th, 2006

Adobe announced Photoshop Elements 4 for the Mac on Monday. The new version of Adobe's consumer-level image editing program includes features that bring it on par with its Windows counterpart, like auto red-eye removal, skin tone adjustment, the Magic Selection Brush, and the Magic Extractor tool. It also includes iPhoto-like features like an image ordering tool so you can purchase prints or books of your pictures from inside Photoshop Elements, and Kodak's EasyShare so you can create online image galleries.

Photoshop Elements is available for pre-order at Adobe's Web site for US$89.99, and should ship in early March.

It requires a PowerPC processor.

Universal applications would have the same system requirements:

So it could be optimized for Intel, and we wouldn't know it unless one looked at the Get Info window for the Platform.

I had PE2 and paid for the upgrade to PE3, but I'm not so sure I'll upgrade again. Quite honestly, Graphic Converter offers all the functionality that I need (and a lot more than many people think it offers), so I really don't see why I should pay the relatively high cost the Adobe is asking for something that offers very little more.

Which means it will run twice as fast on my G5 iMac has it will on your shiny new Intel-based iMac. ~

Have a nice day.

What amazes me is that MacObserver would post up this story without indicated whether it was a universal binary or not. Are we getting a bit lazy?
