It seems like everyone is first of all, very helpful and that is much appreciated! Second, I rarely find a group of people who all seem to be in agreement as to which way to go and I believe I will have to take the collective advice.

Any more input will of course be appreciated.

I have used Adobe Photoshop 7 for many years now, but I believe the time has come to use a newer product. Unfortunately, Adobe do not provide any telephone customer service for most of their products and I have no idea what to choose that will allow me similar utilities to those of Photoshop 7. I have been thinking about a new version of Photoshop, Lightroom, Photoshop Elements 12, Photoshop CC or one of the other many Adobe products. However, I am completely confused and on a limited budget. I do not need or want the Cloud service(s), but I do need some help and advice on what product or products to choose. PLEASE!

I do all sorts of photography, including macro, time-lapse and infrared. It is a passionate hobby, as it likely is for most site members and I look forward to giving and receiving tips and hints.

Thanks for being (t)here!
