I've commented on few other people's posts already, but I'm very interested in finding the right photo editing tool to use. I love Photoshop. There are so many things to do, though, that I'm sure I'm barely scratching the surface of it. I feel like it is more of a 'one-stop shop' for publishing. You can crop, change colors, add effects, add text, etc. My concern is the price for schools. We have it on 7 computers right now that we use for yearbook. This year I'm teaching a technology class and I want to know how Photoshop Elements compares. It's likely that it does everything I want it to do. Anyone know for sure?
As for Irfanview, I need to explore this more but it seemed so limited compared to Photoshop. It is on all the school computers now, though, which makes it appealing.
Did I miss the true cropping capabilities of Picasa? Picasa reminded me of the photo stations at WalMart or Walgreens to print my digital pictures. While it's very easy, I wanted more.
Any suggestions?

You are so good at Photoshop Melissa. I am envious at how you can maneuver your way through it. Will you teach me sometime? I have contemplated purchasing it. I had Picasa on my computer a few years ago and it did not do what I wanted, so I trashed it. I have not gone back to it since, so I am not sure if it has improved.
ReplyDeleteLike I said, there is so much that you can do with it that I'm not sure how much the casual user will use of it. I'm really curious about Photoshop Elements for school/personal needs. Does Waukon have it on their computers?
ReplyDeleteI have elements on my computer - but I've hardly used it...I fall back on iPhoto that is really easy. I need a good class on elements so I will really know what to do...I've never used regualar photoshop...
