Similarly, today’s media productions also blur these lines, as a photo editor needs to combine a collection of photos into an animated photo montage or slide show, and a video editor needs to incorporate still photos for titles, backgrounds, and overlay elements. Instead, they shoot both photos and video with the same capture device, whether a digital camera with video mode, a camcorder with photo mode, or simply on their smartphone. Consumers don’t want to carry multiple separate devices – or worry about lugging around both a still camera and a video camcorder. It sits somewhere between elements and full PS (actually does some things better than either) However, be warned the method of working is very different than PS so you will need to 'relearn' many techniques & methodologies.The key new focus in Elements 10 is the end of the distinction between photography and videography. I have no connection to the company (other than liking the software). You might want to look at Pixelmator (app store).

Overall I was very disappointed with Adobe. I hope with this latest version they've solved the chronic crashing issue. I was forced in the end to completely uninstall it from the Mac and make do with the much more basic iPhoto app instead. So basically I throwed 100 Dollars into the trash.

I searched without success on the Internet for solution to the problem. Boy was I disappointed! Apart from the UI being not as intuitive as the PC version, with out fail the app crashed about 5 to 15 minutes into using the editor. So when I purchased Elements for OS-X I was expecting the same kind of performance. I'm a photo enthusiast and was using Elements on the PC with great success. Towards the end of last year, I switched from PC to Mac with the purchase of a rMBP.
