Photo Editing Software


I am a PS Elements 6 user, and I am probably looking to upgrade to Elements 8 if it is really worth it. I do not need the big brother Photoshop CS4, because even though I sell a few prints, my work does not warrant the pro version.
Has any BP member actually made the switch from Elements 6 to 8; and do you find the upgrade substantial?

  Hi Richard,
http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Photoshop-Elements-8-Mac/dp/B002ID8R34/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1268291281&sr=8-2

Look down the page and there is a list of new features comparing 8 to 6

  Richard,
Elements 8 is like getting an entirely new program compared to 6 and earlier! You would have to have some very serious needs to go up to CS4 from Elements 8. It includes so much and is compatible with most Photoshop plug-ins as well.

I have both Elements and CS4, but I find that I rarely have to go to CS4 for what I'm doing. Adobe Bridge is also now included with the program. Highly recommended update!

  I upgraded from 6 to 8 for Mac when it first came out. I loved 6, but I'm really glad I made the switch.

  Does version 8 finally provide Curves? I'm still on version 3, with an add-on that allows creation of a Curves layer, but you cannot edit the curve once it's been saved.

You Betcha! Here's the shot of the Curves window in PSE 8. Cheers!
