\nAdobe Takes Home Videos and Photos to New Level with Landmark Release of Photoshop Elements Plus Premiere Elements Software Bundle<\/strong><\/font>
\n<\/font>
\nIntegrated Photo and Video Functionality Offers More Ways to Make and Share Creations Just in Time for the Holidays<\/strong><\/font>
\n<\/font>
\nSAN JOSE, Calif. \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Sept. 12, 2006 <\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u201d Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced two milestone upgrades to its digital photo and video products for consumers, Adobe\u00c2\u00ae Photoshop\u00c2\u00ae Elements 5.0 for Windows\u00c2\u00ae and Adobe Premiere\u00c2\u00ae Elements 3.0 for Windows. The unique integrated functionality of the products allows users to do more with their photos and videos, whether adding impact to photo slideshows with video effects and transitions, providing dramatic pauses to videos with freeze frame effects or creating professional-looking printed CD\/DVD labels and covers.<\/font>
\n<\/font>
\nAvailable separately or together in a single retail package, Adobe Photoshop Elements software, the new version of the No. 1 selling consumer photo editing software*, adds more creative ways to organize, edit and share digital photos. For video enthusiasts, Adobe Premiere Elements, the No. 1 selling consumer video editing software*, offers a simplified user interface that makes turning home videos into professional-quality DVDs even easier.<\/font>

\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The rise of portable media devices and the popularity of social networking Web sites means that photos and videos will be captured and shared more than ever this holiday season,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said John Loiacono, senior vice president of Creative Solutions Business Unit at Adobe. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Combining stunning photography with high quality video footage allows customers to tell a story with impact. Adobe’s new products combine to make rich media productions not only achievable, but easy and intuitive.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/font>
\n<\/font>
\nDynamic Sharing that Inspires Creativity<\/strong><\/font>
\n<\/font>
\nPhotoshop Elements gives consumers ways to infuse personality and imaginative flare to photo and video creations. Consumers can drag and drop photos into flexible layouts and frames that mimic virtual scrapbooks. An interactive Adobe Flash\u00c2\u00ae based photo gallery service, called Adobe Photoshop Showcase, allows photos to be shared for free, or upgraded to an extended sharing service via a Web site. These online galleries can take the form of a winter scene with falling snow or a spinning photo carousel. The new Map View allows consumers to drag photos to any location tied to an online Satellite map. Quick and easy fixes can be made to enhance photos with new tools such as the black-and-white converter and the new Adjust Color Curves controls (see separate press release for details).<\/font>
\n<\/font>
\nRadically Simplified User Interface<\/strong><\/font>
\n<\/font>
\nAdobe Premiere Elements offers the perfect combination of ease-of-use, control, and creative possibilities so both novices and enthusiasts can produce videos they will be proud to share with friends and families. The new Monitor window provides easy editing in one convenient location, allowing users to experiment with exciting new drag-and-drop effects and transitions such as stop-motion capture. Adobe Premiere Elements makes it easy to import video clips from nearly all digital media devices and share video creations on burned DVDs or portable devices (see separate press release for details).<\/font>
\n<\/font>
\nAdobe Offers Complete Line of Products for Every Level<\/strong><\/font>
\n<\/font>
\nPhotoshop Elements software is part of a complete family of Photoshop products that meet the needs of a diverse spectrum of digital photographers: the free Photoshop Album Starter Edition software for the novice digital camera user; Photoshop Elements for the digital photography hobbyist; and Photoshop CS2 software for the professional or the most demanding amateur photographer. Similarly, Adobe Premiere Elements is available for the video enthusiast and Adobe Premiere Pro for the professional or advanced amateur videographer.<\/font>
