Adobe offers Elements with Photoshop.com promo

Posted by Stephen Shankland on Oct 06, 2008

Adobe Systems' enthusiast-level Photoshop and Premiere editions are out, with a promised promotion for the online Photoshop.com site.

an introduction to Digital Photography

With the rise in popularity and affordability of digital cameras, the variety and quality of digital-photography software has likewise skyrocketed in recent years. Many new cell phones come with digital cameras built in, and photo-sharing sites such as Flickr, Webshots, and Snapfish have made posting your pictures online a breeze.

Many of the programs within Digital Photo Tools will perform an array of valuable photo functions, such as importing, organizing, displaying, and editing your photos. Some of the popular and highly rated programs in the category are ACDSee 8 Photo Manager, FlipAlbum Standard, and free programs Kodak EasyShare and StudioLine Photo Basic. Other, focused programs offer more functionality and features for specific tasks. Image-editing tools are among the most popular programs on Download.com, including fabulous freeware such as IrfanView, FastStone Image Viewer, XnView, and the powerful open-source tool The GIMP. Commercial programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro also have a long history of excellence.

Media-management software helps keep your photo collection in control. Google's Picasa program dominates the category with more than a million downloads, but nearly 200 other products are competing to knock it from its throne. For making sure your camera is using the latest internal software, be sure to search the Digital Camera Firmware category for your make and model. The Digital Photo Center ties the whole ball of yarn together, with digital camera reviews from CNET Reviews, tips for perfecting your pictures, and tools for creating your own online photo albums.
