I'm doing this review on a product by Adobe and that is Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0. Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 is essentially a scaled down version of the uh Adobe Photoshop which is very popular. And Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 a price ranging between somewhere around $75 to a hundred dollars from where do you buy it and what type of method do you pay for. Whether its the retail and the box or you download it of the website by the serial uh directly out of Adobe's website. So uh some of the key features on this is the uh um uh what a posing on the side. With a basic zoom and definitely the dropper and the selection tool . And the lasso. Um what do you see in the crop over here. And this picture right cat list it or we just uh crop or crop his head; his little check box here. And that is to commit the changes in here and this thing to cancel it. So we click the cancel so you can see it right away. Let's see that again and we'll click the geen check mark. So you can see just crop my cats head. Uh there's some other tools here like tear is the text tool. You just click and then you type some text. Uh it's a small right now so uh go and highlight that and then we will uh use a little thing up here. And make it a whole lot bigger. And there you can see there is that. Now if you've ever tried to type text into a picture in a Microsoft Paint. You know that's really bad because you have the white [inaudible][0:01:23.4] behind it. So offer 75 to a hundred dollars. Um this problems are not that great though there's a program right here that's kinda like it. Uh I think it's called GIMP G-I-M-P. Or Gamp as you pronounce it. And I think that's free. And I'm pretty sure it does everything that uh Photoshop Element 5.0 does. But these are just some pretty basic tools right here. And you got this little uh cutter thing and uh but first you have to uh let's see create a new liner by clicking this button. Watch it. Let's duplicate the background layer which is the picture of my cat. And then we'll uh have to click "OK" right here. And we'll trash this one by bringing it to the trashcan. And we'll drag the uh lighters as you can see right there or the text zoom in and zoom out on that. And trash it. And then you can see the trashcan through that light while you're away. And uh let's go to the background now. So we can use this tool now to uh do something to my text space. So we have the uh little stop sign shape. And we're gonna slit that. And as you can see commit the changes and I've only selected that part right there. So the tools right here are not really complex and not really that great. But if you just wanna something real easy to use to edit your photos this is a great little tool. Uh I also have some things some filters that Photoshop also has. You use the store and then glass. And uh as you can see you can change the photo or something like that. That's not really that great. So here go ahead and uh cancel that. But at least I've got some little tools. Do not really that professional but you can enjoy just messing with stuff. That won't really cost so much of this program. And again this is Adobe Photoshop Element 5.0. Thank you.
