But the new Digital Image Suite 2006 is now a contender, at least when it comes to organizing and sharing photos. Most of the new features are found in Library, the suite's image-organizing component. As before, Library lets you create keywords and assign them to individual images. That makes it easy to find, say, all the photos of your brother Sam that were taken in Hawaii. But rather than having to sort through a long alphabetical list of keyword tags, Library now makes it possible to organize the keywords themselves, creating deeply hierarchical categories for people, places, and events. There's also a ready-made 5-star rating system for ranking images. Though Library's graphical interface still isn't as elegant as Photoshop Elements 3, the suite now offers roughly the same power for tagging photos."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/0,1311,i=107754,00.jpg" /><br /><br />Sounds like there were some needed improvements made, but not enough to impress the reviewer too much.
