Default Re: Editing software

I used Paint Shop Pro for the last eight years I guess (it seems like it has been longer). It has the capability to do much of what a amature digital photographer would want to do. The price is far more affordable and you will learn about and use layers and other basic controls of a digital photograph.

I recently purchased CS3 and have a lot to learn...but having used PSP, much of what I am learning in CS3 is familiar...and that helps. Even the way CS3 uses windows, palletes, etc. are similar. When I inquired about Elements, I was told that it was pretty basic. I was wondering the same thing you are...will Elements prepare me for CS3. Since I haven't used Elements I can only go on what I was told.

What I do know is, is that both PSP and CS3 are very intimidating when you open them for the first time.
