I have PS 10 and think it is great. I take photos for fun, am not a professional and think unless you are or have money to spare then PS 10 does all you want and more. Have fun.


Thanks for your input violet - it seems '10' wins by a long shot.. I will purchase a copy tomorrow....and then comes the learning curve lol.

Lightroom 4 and PSE10 is my recommendation. LR should handle the bulk of everything you need to do then PSE for nurturing your more artistic side. You can buy both for less money than CS6.


Ditto this one. This is a dymanic PP duo. Would suggest you start with PSE10 and add LR4. Prices for PSE10 seem to be dropping and LR4 won't break your wallet. Regardless, what you get with these two will peak your "capture" curiosity.


Thanks canon, Ebay has '10' starting from $59 USD ($72nz) and I will get it tomorrow. I have just been given a copy of Lightroom 3.6 so I will look at that as well.

I agree with this setup.


Thanks for the advice ata - I will be following it.

Thanks for your input Iduno.....a couple of hours ago I would have said 'Iduno' what to buy but now I do. I will be buying '10' tomorrow.

PSE 10 with Topaz plug in


Thank you Warrior....it does seem that '10' has won the popularity program. I have got an old version of Elements which came with my camera but it's version 2 so I will buy '10' tomorrow.

I agree with all the previous postings.
Elements is fantastic for the price. It will do most of the stuff that CS does and is a lot more user-friendly.
On the plus side, if you buy PSE 10, Adobe will offer you a good upgrade deal to CS6, IF you think you need it. Although I doubt that you will.
You can download 30-day trials of both these pieces of software. Give them both a try and make up your mind at leisure.


Thanks for your input Krispix - I will be buying '10' tomorrow.

Hi all I'm hoping someone can help me out with a bit of a dilemma. I want to start shooting in RAW & process my photos myself. I have Digital Photo Professional v3.11 that came with my canon but I want to do more than just convert my RAW photos to a different format........ but, I have no idea which is the better program to use. Can someone advise me which is the most suitable program for a new (but keen to learn) user. I was about to buy Elements 10 and someone said I should use Adobe CS6 (or whatever version its up to), but they couldn't tell me why! I would like to learn the whole gamut - layers, masking, removing objects, skys etc. Help please..

My advice to you would be to start with Photoshop Elements 10. It's relatively inexpensive and will afford you the chance to see if you really want to go down this rabbit hole! I have been using adobe products for years, have upgraded along the way when new bell's and whistles have been added. I am still discovering new things to do with CS5. Like anything else, it will take practice and dedication to learn either of these two programs.

Thanks Fstop.... I don't know how much CS is worth but I can get '10' for almost pocket money and that's the way I will run.

I suggest PSE 10. I have it and it does virtually all the items you mentioned that you wanted to do. MUCH less cost as well

I have PSE 10 and find very adequate for my needs.CS6 is ment for professional photographers hence the cost involved you would have to be taking images for a living to warrant having it.


Thanks Roger, it seems the consensus goes in 10's favour.

I have PSE 10 combined with various filters from Alien Skin and also use Perfect Photo Suite 6.1 (5 wonderful apps) from onOne Software.


Thanks for your comments Drigby... I think PSE10 will be the one. They are on Ebay starting @ $59 USD.
