Hi. Today Amazon is selling Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac for
$54.99 with free shipping plus another $20 rebate for a total (after
sending in the rebate form) of $34.99.

I own Adobe Photoshop Elements 6. I don't use it a lot but I'm tempted
to get the Amazon deal because of its low price.

So, I'm wondering if version 8 worth the upgrade?

Thanks

Yep, especially at that price.

The only shortfall, in my experience, is that PSE 8 doesn't handle every
function with 16-bit tiff files that PS does. (But it does more than PSE
6 in any case.)

I purchased version 6, but continue to use only my much older version 3
because of how much I dislike the white text on dark gray background
cosmetics of the palettes in version 6.

[I realize this is a personal foible, but the settings for this are
apparently unchangeble.]

Has version 8 made any change in that regard?

There's a pref setting for either dark (default) or light
background�still white on gray, though.

NO! And it's making my husband nuts. Change to a light background (as
was his preference) and it was worse.
