photo editing

[Ruby-designs]

I want to be able to edit photos etc. I,ve been looking at adobe element and photo shop pro 8, only Im confused now. What do you think? I don't want anything too complicated though.

It depends what you want to use it for, is it just to edit photos to print out or are you thinking of setting up a website?

I don't know much about them but some can be pretty pricey.

At the moment I just want to play about with it, editing, changing backgrounds etc. Once I get used to it who knows what I'll want. I don't want it too basic in case I want to do more once I get going.

Sorry i can't help, the one i had was more for websites. I'm sure there'll be someone along to help soon

Hi Ruby,
I use Photoshop CS2 for my designing but if you just want to mess with photos then something like Photoshop Elements would be better. If you have a look around on the web you will be able to find plenty of info about the different graphics packages available.

i use photoshop cs2 as well but then i'm a graphic designer and need all the fancy functions. you'd get on fine with photoshop elements - you can get a free 30-day trial on download. give it a go and see how you get on

Thanks. Photoshop element looks good, I'll try that 30 day offer first. Thanks again.

Have you got a scanner ?

Some packages it work out the same price for just the software..

Elements is £60 http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...craftwebsit-21
This scanner cost £130 and includes elements plus other software
