The new functions include an excellent photo organizer and an extensive online component for Digital photo sharing as well as excellent online backup. Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 provides two main functions, many of which can be found in Photoshop CS4, so if these functions are all you need remember that Elements 7 will mean big savings. First of all there is the Organizer which allows you to view thumbnails and perform very basic photo editing and then you have the Editor, where gives total access to all of the photo editing functions. The Editor is simple to manage and allows "Guided Fixes", which basically comprises of Wizards that walk you through step by step photo edits. The "Quick Fixes" calculate the optimum way to fix colors, lighting, and sharpness calculated upon either your input with sliders or whatever PE7 sees fit. The Organizer is the easiest section to deal with on Adobe Elements 7, with tools like Auto Color and Auto Contrast.
