With an eye toward its core audience of non-professional photo
enthusiasts, Adobe has made improvements to its 4th version of
Photoshop Elements that make it easier than ever to edit, organize,
and share digital photos. Despite its consumer-level price tag,
Photoshop Elements 4.0 sports some new tools that gurus wish the full-
blown Photoshop had.

Indeed, this release, which adds a snappy red-eye fix and simplified
extract tool, continues to blur the distinction between those who
really need the power of Photoshop CS2 and those who could live
contentedly in the land of Elements.
