I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 and am thinking of upgrading. Which version do you suggest? Should I anticipate any problems?

That depends on a lot of other parameters. What Windows version are you using, what are your needs, and others. I happen to use XP and design graphics mainly for website use, so I went back to 6 after trying both 8 and 10. It does everything I need very well.

I do not have this camera yet, but I am considering purchasing it this week. I beleive Premier Elements 7.0 can handle the video format and maybe an option for you. I do own the combo pack version of this software for digita photography - Photoshop Elemens 7.0 and the video editing software (Premiere Elements 7.0). Enjoy this camera... hopefully this software helps you out... How are you liking the camera by the way?

officially Via Photoshop: Photoshop Elements 11 (US$99) is designed for people who are just getting started with digital photo editing, and delivers powerful yet easy-to-use options that help you organize, edit, create, share, and help protect your personal photos. Photoshop CS6 (US$699) is the professional standard for creating and manipulating powerful images, and Photoshop CS6 Extended (US$999) delivers everything in Photoshop plus tools for creating and editing 3D images and objects. [Both of these versions have recently been replaced by Photoshop CC, which is available by subscription (US$10-20/month), and has additional features compared to CS6.] In short if your doing more the a beginner photo work ....." I couldn't do without CS6... see applebysanimals on the net you'll see why. I hope this helped and Good Luck

I have Adobe Photoshop Lightroom installed on my wind and it works fine except side menus dont have much room to expand cuz of small resolution, so i get tired scrolling those menus up and down using touchpad, maybe its easier with external mouse but I havent tried it. So I have it as a backup for editing photos if I dont have access to my desktop.

It's just a more comprehensive version. There are more features in the ex version. I was iffy too until I found out about the 3D poser and perspective features. They are worth the money for the upgrade alone.

I've used Portrait Professional 10 and 11 with both Lightroom 3,4 and currently 5. Works very well with my workflow when retouching my images. I really don't use it with Photoshop as Lightroom is my base tool from which I start my processing.

Well, I upgraded to PSE 6.0 from PSE 5.0 a few months ago, really without thinking about it. I just wanted the latest software. Unfortunately, I have had quite a few problems relating to the uploading of RAW files, i.e., the program doesn't seem to be able to handle them. After I've uploaded them from the built-in card reader in my PC (running Windows XP), the thumbnails in the Organizer appear as "broken links" and usually the program crashes shortly thereafter. I've seen complaints about this on various forums but Adobe seems apparently unable or unwilling to do anything about it at this point. It does seem to be limited to this one feature (i.e., uploading .CR2 files) but that is a drag because that is the format I usually shoot in. Otherwise, it's a terrific program. It certainly has lots of great features. But I'm spending too much time trying to keep it running. I should have stuck with PSE 5.0 until Adobe came out with some fixes for this.

I have a full version of Photoshop CS6 installed and haven't seen any issues with performance.

Hi i don't know how serious you are about photo editing but I have done it for years and find Photoshop Elements 6 to be excellent. I have used it for about a year now. It came out later that the one for windows so when windows came out with PE7 for windows I called adobe and asked them if it had more features in the windows version and he said that PE7 for windows was the same as PE 6 for mac because the mac version came out later it had all the new features first. It has many of the features of the much more expensive full version of photoshop. There are online tutorials to help you learn it and there is tech support. I bought it originally for under $100 and upgrades are cheaper. If you do a search you might find it cheaper. The new version of Iphoto is also very good. It comes free with the new macs or it is part of Ilife 09. I have looked into Adobe lightroom and Aperture 2 and have not been persuaded that they are necessary for me. PE6 for mac has raw support for many cameras . Hope that helps. Ron

Since I really dislike the printshop 3.0 I haven't really looked into buying another version. The old version I had (I think it was 6.0 but back in the 90's and it was GREAT but not compatible with my newer computer). 3.0 is a big waste of money as you can see from the reviews.

Please check with Adobe for the system requirements for the Photoshop version that you are planning to run and compare it with the specifications of this computer. Most versions run on this model without a problem, but there are some more advanced versions that might need a more powerful setup.

I purchased Photoshop several years ago as a student and have purchased an upgrade as a non-student. It all worked just fine. Unless Adobe has changed their policy, the "student pricing" is simply a price break for the student and not a "lite" version of their software.

I'd recommend Corel Painter Essentials 5 because it has a similar GUI to Adobe Photoshop, tons of brushes and other mediums, and it won't break the bank. I have PE4 & I still use it more than Painter X3 (which I also have). If you plan on doing any serious drawing or painting, PE5 is the way to go.

I use Adobe Illustrator and Design along with Blender and, of course, Adobe Photoshop Elements and have had no problems at all. It's a big foot print of a machine, though.

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.
