Adobe Elements, through their 12th major release, Photoshop CS5 offers both amateur and professional photographers a maze of tools to enhance and adjust their photographs. Everything from Menus to toolbars giving you quick access to a variety of options to edit your image. The longer your work to learn how everything is used to make all of the adjustments available the sooner you come to realize that each major change requires several steps. These steps take time and for the professional it slows down his workflow. For the beginner it becomes a huge learning curve, and for older photographers that have found that their memory is not what it used to be, it become a real challenge to remember all of the difference steps involved needed to create that perfect picture.
