photoshop elements?

marmkid

does anyone out there know anything about photoshop elements? i am looking to reformat my computer which means i stand an excellent chance of losing my copy of photoshop (it was a limited edition anyway, put on when i was at school).

i cant spend as much for the full photoshop, as i dont use it enough to really justify it, and i was looking for a cheaper alternative that i dont have to learn a new program.

i basically want to make sure i can still do the basic commands of photoshop, hopefully with the transform commands (skew, perspective, all those)

otherwise it probably isnt worth it

anyone have any experience with this?

I bought a copy of Elements. I wish I wouldn't have. If you look really hard, I bet you can find a copy of CS2 at close to 100% off.

You can download a 30-day demo of Elements from Adobe's website to check it out for yourself.

It's like driving a corvette for a year, and then your lease expires, so you buy a cavilere. It couldn't do nearly as much as I wanted it to. It's worth the time to check it out for yourself, though.

yeah, elements really plays a BIT part to the full version of photoshop.
