Why obviously? I have tried it. It may be a piece of cake, but the whole 
program is rather rich and fattening to me - seems like a lot of 
resource use for what I really want to do.

Actually so far it is one of the least objectionable of the lot, but 
still leaves a lot to be desired. It took SUBSTANTIALLY longer to 
download and install the Elements 8 trial than anything else I have 
tried. In fact I damn near gave up before even giving it a try as it 
took forever to install!

Like every Adobe product I have used, it is a real resource hog - when 
running it uses a lot of computer resources. won't even run on my oldest 
machine Fact is, I purchased a copy of elements 5 years ago and never 
have upgraded it because of how bloated it is, and the fact that I 
rarely use it. There is apparently no version of ACR that will work with 
my older Elements and the E-620, which is, I suppose, no surprise.

Actually if I go with an Adobe product, so far Lightroom seems more 
suitable for what I want to do.
