Adobe Introduces Photoshop Elements 4.0 and Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0

September 28, 2005: Adobe Systems has announced two new products for digital photo and digital video enthusiasts: Photoshop Elements 4.0 and Premiere Elements 2.0. The fourth version of Adobe’s best-selling consumer photo editing software, Photoshop Elements, adds powerful and intuitive ways to organise, edit and share photos.
