The wait is finally over for Mac users. That’s right, Elements 6 for the Mac is now shipping. Most of you remember there was no Mac version for Elements 5 and this caused quite a stir among Mac users. Well it seems that Adobe has heard their pleas and finally made this newest version compatible with the Mac. Complete with all new features and a slick new interface, this version promises to be easier and more fun to use. If you haven’t checked out my Elements Killer Tips podcast lately, you will want to see the latest episodes, which were done in this newest Mac version.

Photoshop’s spell checker isn’t just window dressing; it has a very robust spell-checking function, akin to Adobe InDesign’s own spell checker, but if you understand how it works, you can save yourself some time and frustration. Basically, if you highlight some text on a layer, it checks just the highlighted text, so if you highlight one word, it just checks that one word (even if there are dozens of words in your paragraph). If you choose to spell check but don’t have anything highlighted, it checks your entire document, regardless of how many Type layers you have. It’s also helpful to know that it only checks real Type layers (layers that have a capital “T” as their thumbnail image in the Layers palette), and it cannot spell-check any layers with text that have been rasterized (converted from a Type layer into a regular image layer).
