Photoshop Elements 6 VS Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2: Anyone know what the differences are?
1038855
To Pat and J.Crosby, In my opinion, do youself a favour and don't go anywhere near Photoshop Elements 6 (PSE6). I paid for an upgrade from an earlier version and have wasted my money. The program crashes continually to such an extent it is unusable. From my googling on the internet this is the experience of numerous other people. There are no solutions I can find on the Adobe site and although these complaints seem to have been posted since PSE6 was first brought out there are no upgrades or patches to fix what are a myriad of problems. A number of people have complained that the program worked initially and then started continually crashing and that has been my experience. I won't be buying more Adobe products until they show a bit of customer care and isuue fixes for this mess. I have downloaded and installed a trial version of Pro Photo X2 and so far it seems stable. PSE6 may have more bells and whistles but that is not much use if they are unusable due to continual program crashes.

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

I have Photoshop Elements 11 and it works very well with that version. It should be the same with Elements 12.

I believe you can yes. The newer versions wont it seems however. Google here for more info on the program. https://www.google.com/search?q=photoshop+elements+2.0+psd&oq=photoshop+elements+2.0+psd&aqs=chrome..69i57.10296j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8

Yes, I have taken an image from Photoshop 6 worked it to my perception and printed on my Epson R 3000. I use OSX Mavericks but know of no reason why changing operating systems would make a difference

I'm not real sure but when I upgraded to a 64 bit computer I had to buy a new Photoshop because my original was a 32. Check out the other answers and also where you bought your program

I picked up an ep121 at fry's in concord last week, I have a CINTIQ 21UX, and I'm employed as a character artist. The cintiq pen and intuos pens won't work on it as people have already said. The pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop, i think there's a driver fix for this but i haven't bothered with it. Photoshop works best with a keyboard/keypad anyways. Alias sketchbook pro will be your friend. The brushes work great and the program is stroke based. 256 levels of pressure sensitivity, it depends on the artist. It's fine for me, I don't know that my arm has 256 levels of pressure. The line quality is good and it's responsive while drawing. Awesome device for drawing on the go, or sitting on the couch. Any serious work you'll probably want to use a standard computer, but no reason you shouldn't be able to do great things on the ep121. Battery life i get around 3-4.5 hours depending on use. I hope they start shipping these things out to you all soon, I'm loving mine! ps. This thing also runs zbrush pretty well. although it's pointless to try to use zbrush with a resolution os 1200x800, the menu's are too filling. But, it CAN handle a million polygons without much problem. I didn't try maya on it yet. If anyone's interested i can give it a shot.

XP died? Funny. It's still alive on one of my machines. It's no longer being supported, but that is not the same as being dead. Photoshop Elements 2.0 had not been supported by Adobe for over a year now, but it is not dead either. In fact, I am using it on my Windows 7 machine. It looks for but doesn't find the mother machine for updates, but it also is still working. I have not tried to install it on a Unix machine (I also have one with Ubuntu interface), but now that you mention it, I probably ought to try it and see what happens.

If you are going to buy Photoshop Elements and have Windows 8** already on your computer, I would recommend you get the latest version of Photoshop. I believe elements 9 would work under the compatibility mode setting; but, you would not have the best or the most current version of Photoshop . There are a number of updates that make the program work much better. Best to get the latest that is written to work with the latest windows OS.

The answer to your question is "yes"! The program can be used as a standalone or as a plugin with Corel's Paintshop. There is an explanation of how to add plugins to Paintshop at http://akvis.com/en/graphic-tips/paint-shop-pro-photo-plugins.php. I know it is different software but the process is the same - use the instructions for "Method 2" but where it says "Win 32-bit: C:\Program Files\AKVIS, Win 64-bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\AKVIS" substitute the path to your Portrait Pro directory (On my machine Windows 8.1 64 bit the path is "C:\Program Files\Portrait Professional Studio 64 v11". Finally as the instructions point out the plugin appears in Paintshop under "Effects; Plugins; Anthropics; Portrait Professional.

The photo studio expressions will do that. It is much more user friendly than photoshop elements.

For what it's worth, I use Photoshop Elements 2.0 with my AR3700. 2.0 is a very old version, but still works really well for all my photo editing tasks. So far as I can tell, my edits of 8MB images don't challenge the Atom D525 CPU at all, even with several images in memory.

Elements includes Adobe Camera Raw, the same raw editor as Photoshop CS5. As new cameras are supported, you can keep upgrading the camera raw plug-in at Adobe.com

Hello Daphne! This version includes: Photoshop CS6, Illustrator CS6, InDesign CS, Acrobat X pro, Bridge CS, and the Media Encoder CS6. Is there anything specific about these features that you have questions on? - Brandon T.

Hi Kenneth; I recently upgraded (new computer) from Windows XP to Windows 7 Home Premium and Photoshop Elements 5 works just fine.

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
