Any Known Easter Eggs IN PS Elements 6 ?

Do any of you know of any "Easter Eggs" that might be hidden in Photo Shop Elements 6?

and for those that don't know about such things, here is what Wikipedia says about them:

"A virtual Easter egg is an intentional hidden message or feature in an object such as a movie, book, CD, DVD, computer program, or video game. The term draws a parallel with the custom of the Easter egg hunt observed in many Western nations.

Nik Software..

I got an email from a friend, suggesting to give this stuff a look. Ok its from Nikon, but it looks nice enough, trying a few on demo.

Not cheap for sure..but some neat things here. Have a look for yourself. Film simulations a presets are extensive, for both colour and b&w packages. Also NR and sharpening software. Not had a chance to try them all out yet.

Water Droplets on a Leaf

I took this shot in the afternoon right after a quick rain. Thought there would be great opportunities for some macro shots of water droplets on leaves.

Exposure: 0.05 sec (1/20)
Aperture: f/11
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0/10 EV

Captured it in RAW (ARW) on my A100 with the 50mm f2.8 Macro, then edited the photo in photoshop CS2 (camera raw for exposure, and then some curves, levels, and unsharp mask). It just didn't come out looking as sharp/contrasty as I was hoping. Looks like there's a gray film over it.

Stright buildings

Like others I'm bothered when buildings seem to lean. I think some of this is caused by lens distortion. The attached photo was taken with an A100 with a wide angle zoom set to 18mm. The first of the following imaged is the JPG as produced by the camera un-touched by PP. A second photo was made from the RAW and shows some cropping and "free transform", shadow fixer, etc done in PP. I'm not sure if I corrected for lens distortion or introduced distortion of my own. I welcome your comments. Notice how the woman sitting on the bench has her left distorted.
