EDIT: Amazon has stopped pre-orders for Adobe Photoshop Elements.  If this changes, I will update this post with the new information.   –CHRIS

Adobe will be releasing their latest version of Photoshop Elements on October 30. Amazon.ca is currently pre-ordering the software at very attractive prices.

• Photoshop Elements 8 (PC) – $24.99
• Photoshop Elements + Premier Elements (Video Editing) (PC) – $52.99

Unfortunately, at this time the Mac versions are still regular price.

I have not yet tried Photoshop Elements 8 but my experience with previous versions (I own 1-5 and have used 6 and 7 at work) is that it will meet just about all of your photo needs.  Adobe offers a free trial on their website.  You can find that at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelwin/?promoid=BPDEM

The photos from last night’s photo are now online. View the gallery at http://www.niagarafallscameraclub.org/gallery/?album=2&gallery=4&show=gallery.

Special congratulations go out to Scott Simons for his two 15′s and to Lynn Audette for her 15!. Way to go guys.

*I am still working on getting the gallery script to work the way I want. Eventually we will have names and titles posted with the image.
