Yes, Lightroom can do all those things. The cloning isn't as accurate or as advanced as Photoshop's healing brush tool with content aware technology, but it's still very good. Lightroom will also not currently do compositing (combining images together with masks & layers). You can get the both of best worlds with this package: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KNDCCE6/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk (monthly) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O66FYRS/ (Yearly pre-paid) The Creative Cloud Photography plan includes Photoshop CC, Lightroom & Lightroom mobile. Plus you get all the product updates/upgrades (e.g. Photoshop 2014, 2015, 2016, etc & Lightroom 6, LR7, LR8, LR9, etc) for OS compatibility as part of your ongoing membership.

I use Photoshop Element which is provided with the tablet to edit and retouch my photos and I found it is easy to do so. The edited photo were awesome.

Yes. Import the photos into a photo editing software. I use Picasa (Google product) and I can crop, change the lighting, contrast, etc. Works great. Only problem with the maching are with pictures that are odd sizes. If the picture comes out of the feeder slide. its hell to get the photo out from inside the machine. I tried using clear plastic but it degraded the lightness of the photo

It depends on the severity of the blemishes and your skill with Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. PSE 12 surely has the tools to allow someone to correct/change images. However, it will most likely NOT be point and click to correct old photos.

Lightroom compliments the digital camera and gives you the capabilities of a well equipped wet darkroom. For example: * The camera is set for daylight, Lightroom adjusts the image temperature like using "indoor" film for fluorescent lights or studio lights. * You shoot creating "raw" and "jpg" images, jpg goes right to facebook, raw (which has more information) is used to create that frame-able, award winning print. * You adjust a raw print, Lightroom saves the changes (not the whole image) and the original image. This saves a lot of computer space if you have a dozen variations of the same image. * In the old dark room, you used light (time and intensity) to burn and dodge a print to bring out details in the shadows and washed out feaures. In LR you use your mouse or finger (touch screen). Ditto for tones like sepia and solarization. LR can do pixilation. Try that with an enlarger. * Like the old negative file system. LR stores your `raw' or jpg images in a system of your choice. You can create cross reference list such as "beach photos" or "cute D. coriacea faces" to find your beach or sea turtle pictures without making copies in different directories. It's like use file cards but without the hassle. Changes are not made to the originals (like you can't change a negative) * Of course you can crop, adjust contrast, color, tone, vignette, control convergence, combination print, make contact(proof) sheets, and most of the wet darkroom techniques. Of course with the full-blown Photoshop you can do all this, but LR is for the photographer and is easier on the wallet. I recommend that you take a LR class from a professional photographer. It will be worth every penny.

It is very similar to Lightroom & Photoshop. You can create layers, which in Lightroom you cannot. There are tools to remove just about anything. I found it very easy to use compared to Lightroom & Photoshop. However, the program's compatibility with Windows 7 Pro had fatal issues with me, therefore I just went Adobe. Adobe products ARE better than this, but if you aren't a professional, this program is a very good alternative, considering its price.

Hello, I had a demo version for Photoshop and I had no problem with it so I think you're good:)

I've posted photos from the program to my Facebook page, but it's easier for me to post from the "pictures" files in Windows. As far as "design" goes, I guess I don't use that/those feature(s). I bought the program to play with effects and simple cropping and editing, particularly with RAW/NEF images. I like Paintshop Pro for its ease of use. As an older person, I like to keep it simple and Paintshop Pro does that for me. I also have Photoshop CS3, which I use almost as much, due to being used to using the program.

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

Yes, it's the standard for Photoshop retouching. I wish there were good alternatives, though, as mine keeps falling apart, and it's expensive to replace.

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.

It depends very much on camera, software and LIGHTING. I used it for a school project and filmed with an iPhone. Editing was done on a Mac. With a few exceptions for lighting where it was uneven and it confused the software slightly, I got pretty good results. Try a brightly lit room if you haven't already.

It should be able to be used with any program. I have not personally used photoshop or lightroom, so can't say. For photoshop, if that is online (web-based app now, I think), the keystrokes may be messed up if you have specific strokes for your web browser, but not sure how photoshop works.It is a great keyboard supplement but not replacement. I use it synergistically--but it is a great add on.

Aloha Terri B CS6 is what edit and mask with, more than anything else I highly recommend it. Started out with photoshop when it 1st came out (a million years ago it seems). go to applebysanimalsdotcom will show you what you can achieve. Good luck Gregory

Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (and previous versions) will run on this computer, however it will run very ineffectively. It will use about 50% of this computers RAM and nearly all of it's processing speed. If you are using advanced tools such as the Healing Brush Tool, Blur Tool, Smear Tool, and anything else that does advanced pixel manipulation, the computer will slow down and the program may crash. I recommend finding a machine with at least 6GB of RAM, and quality performance dual core processor. You might find one for around $350

No, Adobe XI but no Photoshop. Windows Live\Photo Gallery is the graphic design program it comes with.
