Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0

I finally bit the bullet and bought a copy of Photoshop Elements 3.0. I have been using the trial version of Album for most of my photos and wanted to upgrade. Although I have used Fireworks and Corel PhotoPaint for fixing photos in the past, the combination of Photoshop Elements and Album will save me time. Autotfix did a really nice job on most of my problem photos. My complaints are:

  1. It takes a long time to load. Then it insists I see a menu I would prefer to skip.
  2. It was insistent about backing up my catalog and then took a very long time to back it up. The backup ended up to be 7.5 GB. I am not sure whether I like this.
  3. I also had to change my temp file back to my main drive since I was running out of space when editing a photo(?).
