hi guys ,,

im new to the world of photography having got a nikon d70,i would like to know what you guys who have elements 8 think of its features over photoshop.
im only after basic editing etc for now and couldnt really justify the cost of the new photoshop as its 5 times the price .
what do you think,advice greatly appreciated

cheers james

 

You need Lightroom. Elements is for grandma.

Photoshop can come later once you get more experienced. It's not cheap nor easy to master. I do %90 of my editing in Lightroom. I do ALL my cataloguing and organisation in Lightroom.

 

thats cool mate ,thanks ,how dear is lightroom and what special features does it have.can you stitch pics together,enlarge without to much detiorioration,etc

i have cs4 awesome programme but can take some getting use to, if you " ask about " you can get it quite cheaply

 

Your camera should have come with a stitching program. I use neither for my panoramas. i use panorama factory to stitch my shots together.

Lightroom has a 30 day demo. You should try it out.

 

cheers mate ,im goin to download it now
