Tagging  your images with keywords for easy identification and sorting, variable thumbnail sizes, automatic download of images and red eye reduction when you connect your camera are a few of the features of the Organizer. <\/p>\n<p>The editor offers many of the features available in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adobe.com\/products\/photoshop\/main.html\">Photoshop CS2<\/a>. RAW support, smart blur, Photoshop compatible filters are some of the features of both programs. However, Photoshop Elements 4.0 also offers a magic selection brush to quickly select objects in your image, and a magic extractor tool to remove an object completely (useful for pasting into another image when creating a montage.) <\/p>\n<p>There are many more features to both products that make the low cost (as low at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B000AP89JE\/forcedbeatcom-20?creative=327641&amp;camp=14573&amp;link_code=as1\">$69.99<\/a> US, plus a $20 mail in rebate for those upgrading) of Adobe Photoshop Elements a great buy. I feel that this product will meet all of the needs of almost all amateur serious hobbyist photographers and only those that have a comfortable working knowledge of Photoshop CS2 will miss any feature not in Elements 4.0. <\/p>\n<p>Read the full review at <a href=\"http:\/\/pcin.net\/help\/software\/elements40.php\">http:\/\/pcin.net\/help\/software\/elements40.php<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><em>The digital photography tip of the week is written by the PCIN Assistant Editor, Chris Empey.
