Hot off the press. It’s that time of year for Adobe’s regular upgrade of their user-friendly graphics and video-editing software. Now available: Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 (Win & Mac), Adobe Premier Elements 8 and the Photoshop Elements 8 & Premiere Elements 8 Bundle. They come with either a $20 or $30 mail-in rebate, which makes them even more of a bargain.  I’ve used Adobe products since my grandmother was hoisting me around over her shoulder and I’d be truly lost without them.

Adobe® Photoshop® Elements 7 software combines power and simplicity so you can make ordinary photos extraordinary, tell amazing stories, and share them virtually everywhere.

It’s one of the best and it’s on Sale.

Firefox will tell you when you need a plug-in instead of leaving you in a hole.
