The sunset is absolutely stunning.

Where are the old American cars?

Whenever your software forces you to an 8-bit file, you might as well as have captured the image as JPEG in the camera. Facts are facts. period.


SECOND REPLY:

What do you think of this adds on that was brought to my attention? I have downloaded it but haven"t used it.

Hi Heather, haven't chatted with you in a long time!

You and I and many others love the ease of processing with Elements. That's all that matters for a happy hobbyist

Ah, how nice! I wondered if you remembered me.

I haven't been on here much in the last year or so, but I do have a look in from time to time when one of my photographic friends Don draws my attention to something that has caught his eye.

I think I was side tracked by my next love which is gardening and got stuck on Facebook, but that is rather time consuming so I am easing off that now and hopefully, I will be popping up more on here in future.

I love your artistry on the flowers. I adore flowers and would like to do something like yours.

Keep well, Linda.

UHH has brought me in contact with a few photographic friends. In the days past there were pen pals, now I can them my e-friends.

Points taken.

Who am I to argue with a professional and someone who I hold in great esteem and that is a compliment, having followed you for sometime now.

Am I right in saying that present day JPEGS are a lot better now with the improvement in our equipment and the software at our disposal?

It is also said that present day JPEGS can be processed and printed at an acceptable level unless it is going to be printed very large at A3 and above. It would be good to hear your thoughts.

I must stress that I have not printed a JPEG at A3 or more, but have printed an A2 and yes, I am struggling with the processing of it. Camera Club prints are up to an A2.

It is always good to hear your views and to communicate with you.

At 10+ years, possibly a worthwhile payment for a 1-time update. But, in the replies, we also see one UHH community member voicing what others do in private: paying more money to Adobe for a crippled software on a regular basis. My reply was to that audience: why? why not just subscribe? More importantly, the RAW shooters in the community are entirely wasting their money on PSE.


Some people who take RAW photos may have the NIK Program. I do. I upgraded when it was sold.

Judging by what I see online, I don't think people are leaving Adobe in droves over a $ 10-a-month subscription fee, and Photoshop Elements has never been a part of the subscription model anyway, which is why some people who have an irrational hatred of the subscription but still want Photoshop, buy that instead.


Point taken.

What a waste of money, that is: a paid "upgrade" of any aspect of PSE.

You might say, "well, I bought a new camera and shoot RAW." That's worse, as PSE is an 8-bit editor for any of their layers-based tools. For the JPEG shooter, these 8-bit files are edited just as effectively in PSE-10, like me, as the 2024 latest release. Granted, there's more functionality / stability in the current software, but is it important? Why not just subscribe to the entire 16-bit software suite of LR & PS if you're going to pay every year?? Or, pay even more than once ...

Also, I recently bought a new phone and it shoots RAW. I use my phone more than I use my camera and yes it prints rather good A3 photos for camera club competitions. Now that may surprise you. I am sure you know how critical the Judges are at camera clubs.

You do have a point, but what suits one doesn't suit all.

As you know with every upgrade they only ever upgrade a little so it wouldn't be worth it upgrading every year.

Photography is only my hobby and therefore I am not a prolific printer of my photos, unlike those that sell their photos or photography is their profession. Most of our photos are not printed but stays on on computer.

Also, several of us have other programs that are not subscription based.

I see no reason why I should pay over £108 a year on a subscription based program.

I wasn't aware that Adobe had upgrades to Elements. I thought it was just a new version every year, with occasional offers for temporary reductions. Also, places like Amazon often have slightly lower prices.


I didn't think that Adobe had upgrades either. I came across it by accidentally clicking on the ICON on my compute

I thought there were only subscriptions available. Perhaps people are leaving Adobe in droves and the offer of an upgrade would entice us back and it did for me.

I was looking just yesterday and found PSE 2024 for $99.99, the upgrade for $79.99. In the past I had seen upgrades for $59.99 or $69.99. Inflation has hit everything.


In the past you have seen upgrades for $59.99 and $69.99, but was it for PSE 2024?

I have just discovered by accident that if you upgrade your Photoshop Elements (I have 11) it is being offered at a reduced price of U$119.99/£70.90 from U$149.99.

I had decided not to purchase a subscription-based program and accidentally clicked on my Elements 11. The advert came up and I have purchased it.

Hopefully, this may be of interest to some members who already don't know and to those that do, please accept my apologies for bothering you.

That is quite expensive unless you are a high end earner.

While I do say thank you because that is the American custom but really I don't like it. The often said "Thank you" are so fake in my opinion.


If everyone respects what the word means in the dictionary there shouldn't be a misunderstanding of the word. I use it as it is meant.

You have done well in three months. Long may you continue to improve and be able to continue with your hobby.

How can we get hold of your written macros? I am assuming you have written how to take a macro properly.

I identify with that statement! God put me on earth to do a certain number of things. I am so far behind now, that I will probably never die! Wishful thinking...


I join you in with that. Too much to do in retirement so that we don't get bored and our friends get fed up with us relying on them to keep us amused.
