Before we get to the good stuff, a small moan. Photoshop Elements 5 joins the growing army of programs that insist on jumping in and doing things you've not asked them to do.

In this instance, your reviewer uses a flash drive to transfer documents between machines. When said flash drive is inserted into the test machine with Photoshop Elements 5 on it, a window jumps up calculating how many image files are contained upon it, offering to help you catalogue them. And while this is a feature that's very useful to some, when added to the raft of other windows that seem to want to open when you plug a flash drive into a standard PC, it's a right royal irritation.

 

Photoshop Elements 5 is, however, brilliant.

We may as well start with the Organizer function, being as we've been mean to it so far. It's one of the most intuitive, helpful and friendly methods by which to organise images that we've seen to date. You can categorise and arrange your pictures by date, time and content, and these are represented by visual stacks. You can even - and we loved this - highlight on a map where you took the image, and then browse your image collection via a map of the globe.
