Just starting out. Love manipulating pictures via PS &amp; CS6 suite. Can't decide if I should get a pro version.

Going from the Wacom Intuose (previously the bamboo) to the Intuos Pro was every bit worth it. Some may not realize just how much of a difference there is between 1024 and 2048 levels of pressure but it is night and day! The level of control I get out of the pro version blows me away. I don't do work in CS6 as I switched from That to Manga Studio 5 and Paint Tool Sai for my artwork but I am 100% sure it will make a huge difference in PS just the same as those programs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you can afford the Pro, don't waste your money on anything less.

Yes, I have CS6 and the most current operating system for Mac. Just make sure you get the mac version.

Sorry not exactly sure what are the requirements for photoshop software you will be using, certainly this is an i7 4Gen laptop, should be able to run any programs on it, if you are currently using a laptop and you have used the same applications with that many pictures and works fine, then with newer models you shouldn't have any problem. We would also recommend to find more info online. Thank you,

I found out about Picassa through your post. It is SO MUCH better than my current photo software! Thanks so much for your post. I'm having a great time with Picassa and it's free!! Made my first movie a few days ago - so user friendly.

I just bought and set up a new PC w/W7 64bit. Had no problems with the online PSPPhotoIII from trial download. I havn't tried my older PSP9 yet because PSPPhoto has all the attributes of the older PSP9, in fact very much like it with a few added photo effect ops. I only know that I emailed another program maker NeatImage to see if I needed the 64bit version for my new W7 PC and he said no. W7 is so new there are some programs that aren't compatible, but you can ask the pc to correct back to a previous machine ie: Vista or XP on that particular program. They are also fdoing updates continuously to W7 to correct any bugs from previous software that isn't compatible yet. And it also depends on what PC you have w/7 on. Apparently HPs have some problems. It's still at the homework stage Jan 2010, but time will tell. I'd email corel or post on their forum.

It's up to your imagination in what you can do by using layering to move objects from one photo to another, or just remove objects. It's by far the best bang for the buck, make sure you get the ultimate and when you load it, do both the 32 and 64 bit version as there are many existing tools that only run on 32 bits that you can import, you can even import Adobe images. I extracted a red rose from a bush, and filled the background in black after changing the rose to soft white, came out beautiful. Best of all, there are both text and video help for the tools even on youtube. It will take time to learn and I recommend taking notes when you do something, saves effort next time you try it. Enjoy

If you qualify, get the Education Edition. It has all features of the standard edition. The Home and Student Edition has *almost* complete versions of CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT but some features are missing. The Home and Student Suite does not include many OpenType features or color management options. The Home and Student Suite does not include VBA / VSTA or Macros. The Home and Student Suite does not include PrePress, PreFlight, several of the file formats in the other versions. Note that if you are already a Paintshop Pro user, PSP cannot read the .CPT files generated by PhotoPaint and vice versa. Corel has about the best file format translators in the industry. This file format shortcoming is the only one I've found in the entire Corel lineup and it is disappointing.

They currently do not, and I doubt they ever will. Your best bet is to go the extended route now, or forever hold your peace. Because if you upgrade from photoshop cs2 or whatever to cs3, then go extended, it's going to cost you 550.

PaintShop Pro is Corel's answer to Photoshop. If you want a competitor to Lightroom, that would be Corel's AfterShot Pro. FWIW

If you are spending $439 USD for it, then it should be the Pro version, not academic. This looks like the full version to me. I say go for it!

I've never used Silhouette personally. This software is tailored for the beginner with some advanced components. But it's not the most intuitive software to use. You can find decent tutorials but sometimes not help with exactly what you want to do. More often then not i produce what i want in photoshop and import.

Need to scan into Adobe Photoshop CS5 / Windows 7 / 64 Bit -- wondering if you are using it for that and if it worked.

I am using Mac OS X 10.9.1 with Photoshop CS6 with no problem. It works well.

To be honest, Photoshop Elements isn't all that great compared to the other Photoshops, at least not in my opinion. I really recommend, if you're really into artistic stuff, getting Adobe Photoshop 7 or higher (I use CS2 myself, and have for a long time, though I've never tried CS3+)... Also, there are free programs all over the internet such as openCanvas and GIMP. I don't think this exactly answered your question, but, I just thought it was something that could be beneficial to you. (: download links: openCanvas1.1(the only free version): http://wistinga.online.fr/opencanvas/ GIMP: http://www.gimp.org/

I find it works well in photoshop. certainly better than a mouse. It takes a lot of practice to get fine details, but I think it's worth it.

I run Corels' Paint Shop Pro X which can use Photoshop plug-ins without problem. You do have room to upgrade the graphics card if you want to.

As the others have said, it's excellent for photo editing -- that's the only reason you'd spend the money, to get color accuracy. To make it really rock, you need a hardware calibrator such as a Spyder Pro, and then match a printer profile in Photoshop to the printer you print to. At that point, you are a pro!
