I bought PSE 8 as I have recently switched from PC to Mac and was using PS CS2 on my PC but didn't want to spend £600 odd on CS4 for the Mac.
I am pleased to find that I can do all of the things I was ever doing in CS2 on PSE 8 and more. The integration with all my photos and import features are excellent, better than iphoto.
For the chap who wrote the review below, I'm sure if you ring Adobe or the Apple helpline, they'll tell you how to get the software to work. I'm also sure that they'll refund you or swop your disc for another one if it is faulty. They have to do this under the Sale of Goods act. …More63 of 70 people found this useful

I used the free 30 days download to try this software as I use the Photoshop 7 full version on windows and wanted to make sure the PSE 8 had most of the features, and yes it is very well packed with features for £75 its well worth it. …More

Another excellent program in the Elements range. If anyone's confused, there's no Elements 7 for Mac - it skipped a release but has now caught up with Windows.
Great for photographers and designers on a budget. I use it for web design and it has tons of features. …More31 of 31 people found this useful
