Adobe announces Photoshop Elements 12 & Premiere Elements 12
Adobe has announced the next generation of its consumer photography and video-editing apps. The company took the wraps off of Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Adobe Premiere Elements 12 tonight. The apps have traditionally been aimed at the "hobbyist" market, and the latest version of each plays the increasing importance of mobile devices for those users, with the advent of mobile integration that makes it easy to wirelessly share your photos and videos between your iPhone and Adobe's desktop apps. TUAW will have reviews of both apps soon, but for now check out the full list of new features included in the latest versions below. NEW PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 FEATURES Mobile Connectivity -- With Elements Mobile Albums, consumers now have full mobile integration to view and share photos across their devices via Adobe® RevelTM, and publish and share to Private Web Albums. Content-Aware Move -- This exclusive Adobe technology lets customers easily move objects within a photo and automatically fills in resulting empty spaces.

Adobe announces Photoshop and Premiere Elements 11 with new filters, more beginner-friendly UI
Earlier this year Adobe announced Photoshop CS6 with a new user interface, and now Elements, its line of beginner-level products, is getting a facelift too. The company just introduced Photoshop and Premiere Elements 11, and while the two apps include a handful of new photo- and video-editing features, the bigger story is that they're designed to be less intimidating to newbies. Both have a more readable UI, for instance, as opposed to the old theme with the dark background and low-contrast icons. Things like preview thumbnails have been brought to the forefront so that they're easier to find. Also, both pieces of software ship with a re-tooled image organizer that puts commonly used functions front and center, with lesser-used features like keyword tagging hidden in the menus. The organizer also now has Google Maps integration, so you can view your shots on a map. You can also for the first time view by event, or by the names of people tagged in photos. As for new features, Photoshop Elements is getting a series of new comic-inspired filters, including "Pen and Ink," "Graphic Novel" and, yes, "Comic." Photoshop Elements now allows European customers to upload photos to Cewe, while Premiere Elements supports Vimeo uploads. (Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, Shutterfly and SmugMug sharing were already built in.) Amateur videographers will also enjoy a series of new Hollywood-inspired filters, including Red Noir, a "Sin City"-esque effect with red accents, and "Pandora," which is meant to evoke "Avatar." Finally, you can use Time Remapping and Reverse Time to speed up footage or slow it down, respectively. Fans of the software will notice the pricing hasn't changed: the two apps cost $100 each, or $150 as a bundle. Folks who are upgrading will pay $80 a pop, or $120 for both. Look for both on Adobe's site today, with the old-fashioned boxed software hitting retailers soon.
Photoshop Elements 10, Premiere Elements 10 now in the Mac App Store
Announced by Adobe back in September, Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 are now available in the Mac App Store. Photoshop Elements made its official Mac App Store debut with version 9 earlier this year, but this is the first time Premiere Elements has appeared in Apple's OS X storefront. Photoshop Elements 10 has the same underlying app engine as its bigger brother Photoshop, but is released with a smaller set of tools and features designed for the consumer. The biggest improvement in the latest version of Photoshop Elements is the addition of content-aware tools that let you easily replace a portion of your image by selecting it or brushing over it with a Smart Brush. Similar to Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements is a scaled-down version of Adobe's professional video editor Premiere. Premiere Elements is designed to be a video editor for consumers who want to create home videos quickly and easily. It includes several one-click tools to correct flaws in a video, an InstantMovie builder and export support for Facebook and YouTube. Both Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements can be purchased for US$80 each from the Mac App Store. [Via The Loop]
Adobe introduces Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac
From what some consider to be a neglected product for Mac, Adobe today announced that it will be releasing Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac. This update brings some helpful and handy new features, most notably features that merge photos to improve light exposure or quality. Also, it improved photo resizing, adds new touch-up options, and includes some new artwork templates. If you're a causal photographer looking for an easy and straightforward photo editing solution, this is something you might want to try out.Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac will be available in October 2009 for about $99.99, and is available for pre-order from Adobe or Apple.
Photoshop Elements 6 now shipping
After a delay and then a pre-order period, Adobe has finally begun shipping Photoshop Elements 6 for the Mac. This is good news for me, as my old copy of Elements 3 won't work on Leopard at all (I know, I'm a cheapskate). Some of the new goodies in version 6 include a new Quick Selection tool and tabs for quickly jumping between different functions. This version also makes it super easy to create photo books, greeting cards and more.Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 runs on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (so PowerPC-users aren't left out in the cold). A single license will cost you $90US, though registered owners of older versions can upgrade for $70US with an in-box, mail-in rebate (or via adobe.com).[Via MacNN
Adobe Photoshop Elements delayed until 2008
Sometimes it seems like you can always count on Adobe to disappoint. Today they released Photoshop Elements 6 for Windows, but according to Macworld the Mac version will have to wait until "early 2008." This is because the two versions are on "different development schedules." The Mac version of Elements has long been missing some features from the Windows side (particularly in image management), so perhaps this is not surprising. Nonetheless, it's sad to note that as long as we were waiting for a Universal version of Photoshop, this means that Elements will end up taking nearly a year longer still! Fortunately, I suppose, you could just give the newly released Pixelmator a try instead and not worry about it.
