Adobe will demo Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 software for the Mac publicly for the first time at this week’s Macworld Conference & Expo. The image editing software is now available for pre-order and will ship in the second quarter of the year.
The update has new features based on proprietary Photomerge technology that let users combine the best facial expressions and body language from a series of shots to create a “single, perfect” group shot, says Mark Dahm, senior product manager, Photoshop Elements. The new Quick Selection Tool reduces a select-and-adjust task to a single click. Photographers of all levels can choose from one of three edit modes, each geared toward a different experience level. A new Guided Edit mode helps walk users through the steps of improving a photo.
Photoshop Elements 6 sports new tabs providing simple access to the capabilities of the program. Additional enhancements include an improved conversion tool that converts color images into elegant, nuanced black-and-whites. Customizable layouts let you create scrapbook pages, photo books, greeting cards and burn to CD/DVD. Additional sharing options include ordering prints, creating personal online albums for sharing photo creations on the web, printing photos into real U.S. postage stamps, and showcasing creations on a CEIVA Digital Photo
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh will run on Leopard, as well as previous versions of Mac OS X starting with 10.4.8. It has an estimated street price of US$89.99. The software will later be available at Amazon.com, or from one of the following retailers: Apple Stores, Best Buy, Staples, Costco.com, Fry’s, Circuit City, Microcenter, J&R, Buy.com and NewEgg.com. Information about other language versions, as well as pricing, upgrade and support policies for other countries is available here.
