| When you people talk about using photoshop, is it Adobe? Adobe Photoshop Elements? Because I want to get one and I was wondering if it's the best... |

| Adobe Elements has many of the things in Photoshop7 or CS but not the expense. |

Biggest weakness in Elements is it's lack of masks. You can not edit different parts of a shot differently easily... All right for basic editing rules but sucks for advanced... |

| You can find Elements for free with some hardware. |

| My older computer can easily handle the task from Elements, except photo merge. Photoshop seems to put a strain on my computer. Make sure you have plenty of RAM when using PS7/CS. |

I'll say that the most important missing feature (in Elements) is Curves. Levels is a usable but less flexible alternative.
But if you are just starting out, it may well be better to spend less than $100 on Elements first and learn the basics, then upgrade to the expensive version when you have a better idea how to use the advanced features. Elements is quite adequate for almost anything you'd have to do at DPC.

There are ways to get around the curves issue. |

Having recently installed a new hard drive and all things being equal (amd athalon machine runing at 450 mhz with approx 1/4 gig of memory) free hard drive space is even more important than memory!!! |
