Connected Photographer's evaluation
Like with Photoshop Elements 7, a whole lot of the product is oriented around a pitch for an online subscription service, which we again find disappointing from Adobe. This version has some better sound editing features, some Hollywood-style effects, and the ability to drop objects into scenes, but it doesn't reduce the overall feeling that this is just a point release in a new box.

Adobe Premiere Elements 7, produced by Adobe, has a retail price of $99.99. We give Adobe Premiere Elements 7 a rating of 3 out of 5.

OUR RATING: 3 of 5


Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 7 bundle
Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 Adobe Premiere Elements 7 software combines two powerful yet easy-to-use products at a great value, so you can tell amazing stories with photos and videos.

Connected Photographer's evaluation
We've always found this bundle to be an astonishing deal, but you might be disappointed this time out. The Elements 6 bundle was a high-performance, sublime product at a great price, but Elements 7 seems to be that product wrapped in a lot of upsell. We hope that more time with this product will change our preliminary review ratings, but we're not sure.

We suspect the lure of an annuity from online service fees — and the valuations that went to YouTube and Flickr instead of Adobe — have been eating at Adobe's management for years and this is the result.

Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 7 bundle, produced by Adobe, has a retail price of $149.99. We give Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 7 bundle a rating of 3 out of 5.

OUR RATING: 3 of 5
