Adobe has recently announced the release of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, a piece of software that provides automated and intelligent photo-editing capabilities for the Windows as well as the Mac OS X user out there. The difference between Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows and Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac is that the Windows specific software is available for download right now (the purchase price is of $99.99) while the Mac version will become available soon – and by that I mean this October, which is only a couple of days away.

Vice President and General Manager of Consumer and Hosted Solutions with Adobe, Doug Mack, commented: “With nearly 20 years of Photoshop innovation under our belt, we are able to leverage industry-leading technology that the professionals use and make it accessible to our Elements customers. We've simplified the editing process, without taking away any of the power, and incorporated smart tools with built-in intelligence to bring once difficult tasks, within reach of everyone.”
