Adobe launches Photoshop Elements 2.0 in India

NEW DELHI: Network publishing company, Adobe Systems Inc. has announced Adobe

Photoshop Elements 2.0 software, with new features that simplify the process of

editing digital photos. Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 is designed specifically

for photo hobbyists and amateur photographers who want to enhance their digital

images for printing, emailing or posting to the Web.

Based on extensive customer research and feedback, key enhancements to

Photoshop Elements 2.0 give users easier access to the tools they need to be

more efficient and creative with their photos. Users can apply common lighting

and color correction in a single dialog window while viewing the original

side-by-side with the modified version. Instant access to help files and

"how to" recipes is readily available by typing key words such as

"red-eye" into a help window on the toolbar.

With one-step to resize and attach images, sharing photos via email is now

much easier; and a new file browser lets users preview, sort and organize images

in thumbnail form all without opening the files.



The new Selection Brush masks unwanted areas of a photo for precise editing. The
Color Variations feature now includes helpful tips and an updated design, giving

the user a preview of real-time color adjustments prior to applying.

New paintbrush options simulate oils, watercolors, charcoal, pastels, and

different canvas textures so users can add creative touches to their photos.

Photoshop Elements 2.0 gives users superior editing capabilities with new color

correction, compositing and creative tools. Also, users can capture individual

frames from video clips, which are saved as still images for editing and sharing

electronically.

Photoshop Elements solves the common problem of sharing multiple photos.

Users can now create slideshow in Adobe Portable Document Format (PD.) that can

be displayed on any device that supports the Adobe Acrobat Reader software. This

includes Palm handhelds, Pocket PC and any system running the Windows or Mac

operating system.

Photoshop Elements 2.0 supports the leading operating systems, including

Windows XP and Mac OSX.



Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 is available in India with all Adobe distributors
Tech Pacific and Wipro Infotech at an estimated street price of Rs 5,000.
