The analyzer worked very slowly on my bit Windows 7 system, often requiring 30 seconds or more to analyze a single shot, and at one point it sucked up more than 3GB of RAM, on top of the approximately MB of RAM reserved by the main Elements organizer application, and another few hundred MB for the editor. The auto-analyzer first appeared in the Windows version of Elements 8, and now makes its appearance in the new Mac version. That makes it much easier to post several photos at once.

Once you authorize the application to upload images, you can select one or more images, enter an album title and description, and Elements will compress and upload them to your Facebook account, with automatic posting to your Wall. Amazing but true: This is the first time that Elements has had a tie-in to Facebook.
