Trying to decide between Sony and Nikon.

I have been a lifelong Canon shooter...until 3 months ago, when I finally bought an a6000. That camera is amazing, and although I used to shoot in manual all the time on my Canon, the Sony's scene presets are so amazing that I find myself using them quite often. I've sold most of my Canon gear, and bought an adapter so I can use my longest Canon lens with it. Buying that a6000 is a decision I do not regret!

PSE12, new computer

You get 2 licenses with your software, so you should be able to install it on your new computer; however, if you're no longer going to use the old computer any longer, then go to "help" at the top of the program, and click on "sign out".

B&H Deal of the Day

I saw that, too, and am debating getting it. I currently use Elements 12, and I need to do a comparison between the two before I decide. It IS a good deal :)

Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop Elements 13

Why PSE 13 instead of 14? Is there some advantage with 13 or some disadvantage with 14?

Because the original post was a year and a half ago, and I don't think PSE 14 was out yet :D

Thank you! That's what I thought it was when I was looking it up, just wanted to be sure!

What I miss is the ease in looking at the current ... (show quote)

I agree. I used to look at the contests every week, always with good intentions of entering a photo. Now I don't even bother looking at all :(

I also find that I just don't spend as much time here as I used to since it changed.

City skyline with cumulus clouds

The only thing I would have done differently is to add more of the street scene on the bottom of the image. Interesting skies make a great backdrop, but rarely serve well as the primary subject.

I was in a moving car on the expressway, and there was a cement barrier blocking most of the street view (I cropped it out). Otherwise, yes, I agree. My main focus were the clouds, though, and I'm just happy to have gotten some interesting buildings in the photos.
