Photoshop Elements 6 First Look: The Interface

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, due out mid-March, is touted as a large advancement over the previous version, Photoshop Elements 4. There are many new features, and the program as a whole has been further targeted at consumers, but overall, it doesn’t seem like enough has changed to call it an important release. This section of the Photoshop Elements 6 review will focus on the redesigned interface.

Looking at the demo videos on Adobe’s Photoshop Elements site, I was rather dismayed by what I saw. The color scheme seemed to be all grey, and it overall looked very oppressive. At the time, I was looking forward to Photoshop Elements 6 and hoped for the best, based upon rumors that the actual interface was different.
