Lots more powerful than elements, but way cheaper than CS5.Sweet T Makes Threehttp://sweettmakesthree.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4210226002898116173.post-80286249272620286292010-12-27T01:20:19.039-08:002010-12-27T01:20:19.039-08:00The best advice I can give you is to play without ...The best advice I can give you is to play without having a preconceived notion of what you want to come up with. As you learn how the different tools change your pictures, you'll figure out what you like, what you don't, and eventually how to get the program to do what you want. I've been working with photoshop off and on since high school (10 years ago! wow!) and I still don't know a lot of things about it. Experiment, have fun, and save often (with different names).GossamerScapeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09063353097694378565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4210226002898116173.post-66905703620818155002010-12-26T22:34:00.307-08:002010-12-26T22:34:00.307-08:00Here's a tutorial for red eye which gives a co...Here's a tutorial for red eye which gives a couple of methods.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zYx0TvmnO8Reena Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860984511692822921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4210226002898116173.post-52182958295789587402010-12-26T22:22:55.808-08:002010-12-26T22:22:55.808-08:00Basically I can't do anything but actions, LOL...Basically I can't do anything but actions, LOL. I can't understand it. But, from what you said I'm feeling much better. It's not an open the box and go kinda program. {Phew} Sounds like I picked quite a challenge. <br /><br />Thanks so much for your help :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341816010502708709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4210226002898116173.post-6505716044036507632010-12-26T21:20:29.545-08:002010-12-26T21:20:29.545-08:00So I searched through your post and only found two...So I searched through your post and only found two questions:<br /><br />*Anyone know or have the CS5 or the Elements9?<br />*Am I just dumb?<br /><br />I'm thinking you want a little more than straight answers to those two questions. :) So, here goes.<br /><br />I have PSE7. There's a learning curve. I wasn't able to open the program and do whatever I wanted. In fact, I'm still learning. However, I've found quite a few tutorials to help me do quite a few neat tricks.<br /><br />PSE7 came free with my Intuos graphic tablet, so didn't cost anything extra. I'm able to follow most of the tutorials for Photoshop whether it's the CS or PSE version. Some CS features require a workaround with PSE. Others I haven't figured out how to accomplish particular tasks or if it's possible with PSE. But since I'm a novice with PSE, my results probably wouldn't turn out as sophisticated as the tutorials anyway.<br /><br />Also, my job (SAHM and writer) doesn't rely on my graphic ability, though I'm trying to eek out some cover art. But anything I can think of in terms of cover art, PSE has the ability to accomplish even if I lack the skills. :)<br /><br />Personally, I think PSE is suitable for most people's needs. GIMP (free) might even suit your needs. If you're an artist who relies on graphic software for a living, I might spurge on something like CS for all it's glory. Otherwise, I'd stick with something a little less expensive (PSE) or free (GIMP).<br /><br />One thing to keep in mind is though Photoshop CS has all the bells and whistles, it doesn't mean the user has the know-how to use the product to its full potential.<br /><br />Which ever product you pick, you'll still have to learn how to use the features for it to work to your advantage. However, once you learn the features from one software, you should be able to apply that knowledge to GIMP, PSE, or CS. All three products have quite a few similarities.<br /><br />Good luck with your adventure. :)Reena Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860984511692822921noreply@blogger.com
