The new version of the image editor sports a redesigned interface with tab-based tool organization. It also includes a Guided Edit mode that steps users through improving digital photos, a Photomerge tool that creates seamless panoramas from a series of images, the ability to blend the best parts from multiple group shots, one-click color correction, and more.
Users that are looking for more control over their images have access to improved black and white image conversion tools, color curve adjustments with Lightroom-like slider controls, lens distortion and vignette correction, a Quick Select tool that intelligently grabs parts of an image, along with several other Photoshop-style features.
Users can create photo albums based on several themes and layouts, and order printed and bound books. They can also order prints of their own images.
Photoshop Elements 6 also includes a version of Bridge CS3 geared towards consumer users. Bridge supports folder groupings, file search and filtering, the ability to display image metadata, support for keywords, saved searches, and a digital loupe tool.
Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac requires Mac OS X 10.4.8 or higher, or Mac OS X 10.5.2, and is Universal Binary allowing it to run natively on Intel and PowerPC-based Macs. It is priced at US$89.99, or $69.99 for upgrades from earlier versions.
Observer Comments
In short - it's not available yet.
Adobe's own UK site currently says "expected ship: End of March".

Amazon.co.uk currently says "this item will be released on April 14".

NB there seems to be a discrepancy between Amazon's UK pricing and the price listed on Adobe's online shop. Amazon are listing Ј72.99 (reduced to Ј70.48) for the full license, while Adobe are listing it at only Ј57.58. (Both prices include VAT (the standard UK sales tax).)
