We are now up to number 12

Unbelievable. Photoshop Elements has hit version 12. This ever increasing in versions program is very useful but it cannot be upgraded. One must buy it new every time. A bummer, but the price is good. So here goes:

Adobe has just announced the release of, can you believe it,  version 12 of   Photoshop Elements   for Mac and Windows. One of the new features of this version of this less costly consumer-friendly photo editor is 'Mobile Access',  that uses Adobe's Revel cloud service to let users view and retouch photos on their mobile devices, keeping everything in sync. Other new features include 'Content-Aware Move', guided editors, and 64-bit support for Macs. Best of all, there's no monthly subscription fee.  The fact that it has no subscription fees may make it an ideal replacement for the full version whose advantage over Elements is increasingly becoming marginal.
