This review is from: Adobe Photoshop & Premier Elements 8 for Windows Minibox
Pros:
Supports Adobe files formats which have become the graphics industry standards
Cons:
Interface that is not intuitive. Prone to crashes and stalls. There has been a service patch that seems to minimize some issues. Support has been weak and is generally a waste of time
Registration is required for tutorials. Subscription to a fee based annual service is required for more tutorials and templates
The constant communications with Adobe's servers drags system and network performance so much that I had to block it from connecting to the Internet.
Overall Review:
Problematic installation and disappointing performance on this 2.80 gig X4 , Win 7 with 6 gig ram. (With a terrific 1 gig R-adeon 4670 video card from New Egg). Everything but Elements runs well on this machine.
I first installed this software on an Athlon II 2.6 Gig machine, 3 gig Ram, with an NVidia graphic card and the issues were worse
