I do not currently have any photo editing software and I am thinking of purchasing Photo Shop but am very confused what part to purchase. Do i purchase the original and then have to add elements to it. Or do i just purchase the elements that i like. Any info would be greatly appreciated as they are all very expensive and I cannot afford to buy things that I don't need.
Thank You,
Tracey


I personally use Phtoshop CS5 which is for photography and graphic arts, but it is very expensive ($695). All you need is Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 which has many of the same features as Photoshop CS5 plus it has an excellent organizer as well. It is on sale today at Staples for $59.95.

My family has a 11x14 b&w image of an aerial view of the farm we grew up on. I got the image when my grandparents died. We don't know what company, or photographer it came from. We do know this was a common thing years ago. People would fly over, take 1000 images, then a month later a salesman would come by with a 5x7 and try to sell you a large print. The only thing written on the back, by hand in blue ink, was 1969. We are guessing this was written by someone in our family. I have since set up my camera and took photos of the photo. I know scanning an image is illegal, but I wouldn't think what I've done is. Does anyone know for sure?

As long as it is for your personal use and you do not intend to market it for profit or to distribute it for free, why even be concerned. I would scan it.

Revenge is always sweet. Buy a different brand when you replace it.


Switching would not be revenge. The brand of camera would not matter. It will still look like a piece of garbage if it was not properly cared for.

420 Bourbon Street in the French Quarter, New Orleans before Katrina. I believe this location has been renovated now.

My beloved Canon SD600 won't turn on, Canon refuses to even try, can you imaging that?

6 years of pampered use and that's the way Canon responds, they even charged me for shipping, hum,

It's looked like this for the last 4 years, amazing that it worked until yesterday, was always there for emergencies.


Looks like it was not very "beloved" or you would have taken better care of it. It would be cheaper to replace it than have it repaired. Actually in my 45 years of photography I have seen a camera that looks so abused.

What's wrong with buying from someone like B&H who typically have very competitive prices and usually have FREE shipping and no sales tax if you do not reside in NY state?

Roberts Camera has been around for a long time. You will see their ads in most of the photography mags. I have never purchased from them, however.

Go for the Canon !! No regrets! Besides if you ever need repairs to a Nikon, you will have to send it back to Nikon. Not so with Canon...


Not too sure the repair thing should be a deciding factor. I am am member of NPS, when I have a camera down, I email a replacement camera request. I send my camera off, usually have it back in a week to 10 days tops, and they send me a replacement during this time. This is something Canon does not do.

So why buy an inferior camera:) I wonder what I have started now?

I wouldn't know. I have never had to have a Canon camera repaired. I have owned 9 of them over the years.

no but spelling lens as lense makes you less of a writer!!!!!!


The writer had the correct spelling. The plural of "lens" is lenses. While this forum is not for spelling but for photography, I will point out that you might learn to read closer.


lighten up francis!!! it was a joke. i know he spelled it correctly. if you have been on this site as long as I have you will know that every so often the "Ye olde lense" argument comes up. I was satirizing and using a parabel.

does cropping pics make you less of a professional photographer if u have a wide arsenal of lenses?


Cropping is an excellent creative method. Even when we were developing in a darkroom cropping was done via the enlarger. Yes, professional photographers crop quite often. The attached was shot using a Canon EF100mm 2.8 Macro with a tripod, but it was also cropped for maximum effect.

Good advice on Elements.

Gimp is no easier to use than Elements and much less capable. Elements 10 is really three programs: the Organizer, Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and the Editor. Gimp only does some of the things the Editor does. The interface and available resources for Elements are also far superior.

If you do want to enjoy Elements I strongly recommend getting Kelby and Klowkowski's book on it. It differs from all other Elemetns books in that it takes you step by step through getting useful results. I had struggled for three months and was frustrated till I got the book. In three days I was really enoying it. Now I am having a wonderful time with it. There is a huge amount of capabilty so it will take me some time to intuitively do all it can do but now I get great results in a matter of seconds on most things I try.

Meanwhile Picasa is very easy and fun. I compare it to Elements as one might compare the Wright bothers airplane to an F18. Full-on Photoshop might be the F35.

Photoshop 7 is rather dated. Picasso and Gimp are good free programs that work well. I would suggest that you purchase Adobe Elements 10. It is currently being dicounted by Adobe as well as vendors such as B&H. B&H is now selling it for $72.95.

Excellent advise! Elements 10 is the way for this photographer to go. I personally use Photoshop CS5 but you cannot upgrade from 7 to CS5 so that route would be very costly.
