Home > Consumer Reviews > Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 [Old Version]

With Version 1 and 2 it looks like Adobe has picked up the "Just good enough" attitude from Microsoft. They feel because it's a low price consumer product that they don't have to put the product through the quality testing that they do for the higher priced products....

I would recommend ACDsee as they take there product seriously and provide support.

I have purchased and used every digital photo editing and management software product. I'm not from the software industry or write stories for PC magazines. I'm just a family man who loves his digital cameras and editing, playing and storing my digital output. Without a question, adobe photoshop one and two is the best product in the market. Its allows anyone, with GREAT EASE OF USE to upload their digital pictures, edit them, print and any other desire, and then store the pictures for long-term preservation. You all can save your time and money and avoid the other products in the market; just go with the best. On top of all this, the price is very reasonable.
My only complaint is I was not aware of the 2.0 edition coming to market this past week, althought I'm very happy it came out and the new features are solid and make alot of sense.

Beware. Adobe is not honoring the rebate on this item. That and the poor quality of this software mean that you should look elsewhere.

I was so excited for the prospect of finally organizing all my photo files. I downloaded product easily and stared in amazement at the end result. I have over 3000 images on my computer and 90% of them were dumped on the date Jan. 2000 ( a year and a half before I owned camera) Of the remaining 10% only a fraction were properly date-stamped. The problem...my camera reverts back to 1/1/00 every battery change. Obviously, this product is useless with my inaccurate date stamp data....garbage in, garbage out.
Seems to me this caveat should be clearly explained up front! Big dissapointment.

The organizational and creations features are much improved, I especially love the new Calendar interface, which is like having a photojournal for any day you take pictures. Also the new creations process is much more fun and easy to use. I can make a great slideshow, album or photobook presentation in PDF form in a few minutes. The VCD quality is much improved since v1 also. My only real complaint is the uncomfortable location of the new properties pane. It's not dockable, it just floats by itself over everything... kinda wierd...
No, PSA is not perfect...yet...but it's getting there!!!
