Re: [photoshop-beginners] Re: Some questions on photoshop upgrades

I have tried Gimp.  It doesn't have some of the things I use a lot.

Why not try Gimp?  It is free open source and has much the same capabilities of PS.  And it is not easy either.

I used PS7 for a long time. I've used the newer CS versions.Some photo fixing, but mostly for postwork for 3d graphic renders and making original art.  I am currently using a demo of PSE8 and it seems to have everything I need, they just have different names and are in different places.  Things that are in Filters and some in Image in PS are in Enhance in PSE8. PSE8 doesn't seem to have Actions (or maybe I just haven't found it), but I never used it that much.

 

For people who are trying to decide which to buy, I suggest going to adobe.com and downloading the demos. They only have the newest ones there, but I got a couple of older ones in some back issues of magazines I had. If you use one for it's 30 day trial before starting on the next for it's 30 days, you can use the various different ones for several months and get a good idea of the different features.

I did wonder about that but I think the PSE will have all that I need/want if I can just figure out how to work the program. The PSE 2.0 has almost all that I am used to using, and a few more that I am finding a delight to use, just seems to take more steps than I am used to and figuring out the exact steps is difficult without some one to show me.

It was probably PS 7 as the upgrade path, not PSE 7.

Right now I am discovering things in the 2.0 that I am having a blast with but I still am not understanding how to work the layers and some of the tools. Layers I definitely have to figure out.
