Hello, I was wondering if this will also work with "Perfect Photo Suite 8"? It does have a layers &amp; masking tool that works with PSD formats.

Hello Mike, This is Clive from EZbackgrounds. I had not worked with PhotoSuite in a while, so I took some time to download the new version and test it out to see if it was more compatible than previous versions. Much like Corel PaintShop Pro, PhotoSuite does open psd files, but it does not support various elements of the PSD format such blending modes, effects, text and other elements of the PSD format. Therefore, I cannot recommend it for use with this package that includes frames, actions and other items intended specifically for use in any version of Photoshop. However, PhotoSuite will work with the backgrounds as they are in jpg-compatible tiff format which is fully supported by PhotoSuite. We have a backgrounds-only package available on Amazon that will work perfectly with PhotoSuite. It is the "Premier 100 Digital Backgrounds Package". Enter "digital backgrounds in the Amazon search engine and it should appear as the second item listed behind this package. Although my research was limited to an hour or so, I did find PhotoSuite to be a little buggy. It crashed on me three times while using it. I should note that it could be something particular to my computer configuration that is causing the bugginess and not necessarily something that everyone will experience. For the reasons stated above, I would still recommend Photoshop Elements for use as an alternative to the professional CS and CC versions of Photoshop over any other program I've seen thus far. I hope that helps. If not, or if you have any other questions, feel free to contact us anytime. Best Regards, Clive at EZbackgrounds

It works with most any software, yes. It works - but not well - with GIMP, but it works just fine with Photoshop and Illustrator.

Since I don't use that software I can't be certain...based on Google Nik website its states Nik effects works with (don't see paintshop) *Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 *Adobe Photoshop CS4 through CS6 *Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 through 11 (apart from HDR Efex Pro 2, which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements) *Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 through 5

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 use mine as a plug-in for photoshop. Not sure if you can use it with Lightroom. Not sure if it works as a stand alone. You can get on Topaz's website at topazlabs.com and email them. They are really good a getting back with you quickly. I really love this software. It takes a little while to learn how to use it but I love the results on my photos. I hope this helps.

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.

The plugin version of Portrait Professional runs within Photoshop so you can retouch an image while you're doing other kinds of editing. For a seamless workflow, this is the best option. There is also a standalone version, which runs as a separate software program. It works just as well as the plugin, but you have to open your image in Portrait Professional and then export it. I've used both methods and strongly recommend the plugin. By "three versions" maybe you mean the one that can handle raw files; I haven't tried it, but as long as it can work as a plugin it would be worth a try.

I have Elements 5 and Paintshop Pro 8 (and 7). All are very good, but the emphasis is different. I use Elements for processing my DSLR photos using the included Adobe Camera Raw. It is reasonably easy to use and the quality of the results is excellent. I use the PTlens plugin to correct for lens defects and Elements works well with this. I very occasionally like to use a feature that Adobe has left out in order to avoid competing with full Photoshop. Examples include Curves adjustment layers and fully automated batch editing. In this case I switch to Paintshop Pro, which invariably does have the missing feature. If you don't know why you would need these features, you probably don't! I don't use the built in Organiser, because I started using Picassa (free from Google) for this purpose and I see no reason to change. For design work, such as web design, I would personally choose to use Paintshop Pro, because its feature set is more complete, (Paintshop Pro 8 is roughly equivalent to Photoshop version 6), and because those advanced features are more easily accessible. Other people that I know would choose to use full Photoshop instead, and I can understand their point of view. Photoshop Elements needs quite a powerfull (i.e. new) computer, if it is not to seem slow. I understand that this is also true for the latest Paint Shop Pro. Finally, you can download both of these products for a free month's trial, so why not try then out and make your mind up after that?

Yes, this unit should/will run the designated option of photoshop. Hopefully you updated your windows before adding photoshop.

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.

Yes, works great. I have the same setup. as an example http://glissonimaging.zenfolio.com/p427149940/h672d194d#h672d194d

I've used Picasa with this machine and it works very fast. It easily applies the included fixes (contrast, hue/color saturation, etc. ) with no lag. Picasa is a lot less resource intensive then photoshop though. I take pictures with a 7.1 megapixel camera - the average photo is about 3.5megs. The mousepad takes getting used to when you want drag and drop things but you get used to it.

It's been a while but maybe I used the camera's format function. I am using it regularly, so it does work! Did I format with PC? Don't remember. If still an issue I'd try SCT support but should be easier than that.

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

You may want to do a search on Youtube. I use it with Lightroom, and it works fine.

Hi Mike, wish I could help answer, but, I only use this in still photography. You might try using Corel Tech support through this link to help answer your question: http://corel.force.com/support/cSelectProduct?lang=en_US I hope this might help you out a bit. ..-Al
