Treehugger you just made me laugh out loud. I will make an attempt to post a picture (which I've never done here before) to give an example of an unwanted object in a picture. The car in the back ground makes this elk look like I was in an elk park.

I neve thought of it that way. I guess the best thing is for me to hang up my gear and start a search for the real world, that doesn't exist. May take a while...

Here is a one minute adjustment with Photoshop. You can get similar or better results with Elements.

If you check "store original" when you upload folk can help work on the full file. Otherwise it is just a very low resolution thumbnail.

Wow! Thanks, when I post again I will check "store original." Can Photoshop be put on more than one computer? I'm going to be traveling soon and would like to put it on my laptop and desktop. Will I need to buy two copies of Elements 11?

I understand that the license allows you to put it on two computers.

This is one of the main reasons I dove into digital photography & digital editing ( Photoshop) cleaning up photos that I could not wait hours or days to get it "Just" perfect like lots of pros and people who have the time to spend to wait for and compose the "perfect" shot.
Time with the clone tool or even copy>past>free transform - the tools are endless to save/improve a photo.

I tired it with Elements and found it a pain compared to just using the clone tool in Elements.

Since Lightroom happily transfers you to Elements and back I see no need for it.

Maybe if I only had Lightroom it would be of interest. I don't know if there is a graceful way to do wires with it alone because I haven't yet learned all of its features...I go to Photoshop for the things I know how to do there. I also know there is a better way to do it in Photoshop than the way I do it presently carried over from Elements...but haven't got it down yet either. So I clone.

Why bother with depth of field when it can be achieved with a button on a computer in fact why bother with any background when it can be changed totally in fact why bother with a camera?

To mainly Treehugger & Stacie7: My husband agrees with both of you. His solution is to always save and display the original photo and the one with objects removed. In that way, he says that we can remain "in the moment" and be "artcy fartcy" too.

I tend to agree, when I do that, it makes me feel like I am somehow cheating, and not going with the natural flow of the picture.

But if you were Henri Matisse and left a few boats out of your harbour (oil painting) picture of the castle at Collioure, and now it sells at $30 million, would you feel less of a cheat?

Those that use the photo as art - and achieve it - hats off, I don't care what they do. Me, not an artist, I want real but I make mistakes (God, do I make them), so if an otherwise perfect shot has a lamp post growing out of Grand Daughter's head, I'll bite the bullet of my conscience and remove it if I can. The I feel guilty but her Mummy feels happier, a trade off.

If my shot is carp, in the bin, no manipulation it is neither art nor, if I fixed it in PP, would it be real.

If I were Robert Capa and at the D-Day landings, anything goes due to the content and the fact that an idiot in the developing lab boiled the negs!

Horses for courses, indeed.
Discipline, folks, that's what we must have.

I noticed that this is the "Costco Edition" Is there any difference from the regular version?

Yes. You get extra free stuff with it like Costo pictures and a scrapbooking program.
