...Photoshop is not a gadget, but it?s been a trusted friend to gadget lovers longer than the digital camera has been a consumer reality. (My first copy came bundled with a scanner over a decade ago.) When the cheaper Photoshop Elements hit the market about five years ago, I was relieved: all of the really complicated stuff was gone, leaving the more intuitive tools I use to clean up - or totally mangle - a photo. Photoshop Elements 5.0 has new editing features, but I won?t dwell on them, except to say that the program is still tops. What Photoshop...
...users get iPhoto for free, so they know the familiar organization window - a giant screen full of pictures that you can scroll through and tag with different characteristics. There is no Photoshop Elements 5.0 for the Mac, probably for good reason. The next Windows release, Vista, will have some comprehensive photo tools, but having the organizing system and editing tools in one package is advantageous...
...dumped over 10,000 photos into Photoshop Elements' library. I probably should have started smaller, but I?m all or nothing when it comes to digital endeavors.

Pick a template, enter in an e-mail address or two and you?re done. You have to join Adobe?s Photoshop Showcase, but like Kodak Gallery it?s free...
...When did you start TreeHugger? We started posting two years ago at the end of July... and the concept has been percolating for many years. The first time it manifested physically was in 2000, when I took a Photoshop class with an assignment to create fake ads - I did three. I essentially took three different pictures that I ripped out of magazines of cool urban types, two guys and one girl, and then superimposed text over the middle of the photograph. The words were treehugger, damn hippie and bleeding heart. The point I was getting at is that we have...
