Just getting started but like the product better than other packages. ...

I owned this product for a week or two and feel like I was taken to the cleaners. Hard to understand, difficult to work with pictures and takes forever to boot up. I've done alot of digital photo work and can say that I have never used such a lousy piece of software. I am not a Microsoft groupie, but their PictureIt software definitely puts this to shame.

First of all, the rebate requires evidence of having previously purchased other Adobe or similar products. If you have the materials to satisfy all of Adobe's stipulations, and are left handed and born on February 29th, you may qualify for the rebate.

Now, try and run the blasted thing. On my Windows XP it can't find AOL even when it is lurking there in the background. To register the product or run the tutorial you must go online, but it can't. Adobe's website indicates that internet explorer 4.0 must be present, and that the proper path must be written in the whatever file, but immediately warns that this path should only be attempted by a someone qualified to do so and that ordinary mortals like me should take up kite flying.

Well, I now learn that my system has Internet Explorer 6.0 and Adobe's klunker is still as befuddled as I am.

If you wish make a charitable donation to Adobe you may do so by buying this product. Otherwise I strongly suggest avoiding it at any cost.

I've had photoshop elements 2.0 for about a year. It reams your memory, and all of a sudden just quit working. I have reinstalled it twice, it still wouldn't load a picture.

The website has no support.

Camera software is better. Don't waste your money.
