Photoshop elements is for working with and editing photos and Premier elements is for working with and editing video.

Absolutely. I'm way behind on the tech myself and find it not only easy but fun and fulfilling. I had and still have difficulty with photoshop, which was originally recommended for me. I was creating with this within 10 minutes after installation and had an idea of what I was doing. You can create digital paintings with ease and if you want, you can create a comic from ground up. Text, word balloons, everything. I love it!

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

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.

In Elements, you will still be able to use all the features you mentions. What elements is lacking is stuff you or I would probably never use, like support from RAW formated photos and vector graphix, or a feature called image warp. CS2 is more for the proffesional user so most likely theres not much of anything you will miss by switching to elements.

Yes. I am running Photoshop CS6. Mine is i7. I am still tempted to up the RAM. But you should have no worries.

Ha! Varied Responses here! Let me try to add to them by just saying this... This disc set is composed of Pictures... high quality pictures. Lots of Files and folders of pictures (textures / backgrounds / photos / templates). You don't Need photoshop per say... you could use "Gimp" which is free and able to be downloaded over the internet and will be able to open the "PSD" file extensions just fine. Very few "PSD" files are included when compared to the amount of TIF's included. There are "Tutorials" included with this disc set - and yes, they are geared towards photoshop - but if you are willing to learn (or already know) another graphics editing software, you'll be just fine and able to adapt the tutorials to what you currently use. I haven't found one tutorial yet that uses Photoshop Specific only techniques - and I've used Gimp, Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, and Pixler (online). - hope this helps

That's true though there is also the very reasonably priced Photoshop Elements.JPEG is fine for casual photography but if you absolutely NEED to get a perfect shot, RAW is the way to go.

Yes you need a computer, monitor and programs like photoshop, lightroom, auto cad, etc.

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.

Nothing beyond the on camera display crop, red eye, etc...you need a separate program if you want to do any significant tweaking

You don't need the software. Just buy an SD card or two. Remove the SD card from the camera and insert it into the SD slot of your computer. I use the Paint program that comes with Windows 7 but you can use any photo editing software you want.

I just opened my preset list and it does include both Photoshop and Lightroom. It's pretty much customizable to just about any App. i use it for Final Cut Pro X and HATE not using it now. All the major shortcuts right there for me. I highly suggest getting one.

This is a gaming computer, so its built to withstand gaming needs. Given that, yes, this computer will run premier and photoshop just fine.

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

you will probably want to install another 4Gb DIMM and SSD drive - so you will be looking at extra $100 if you do it yourself. otherwise it might be too slow for photoshop

The quick answer is no, you do not need the subscription. LightRoom can be a stand alone software that doesn't require the subscription. The $10 subscription is called the photographers bundle and includes Photoshop as well as Lightroom for those that want to do more with their images than LR can like making composites. The subscription also allows for the periodoc updates that occur with software to continually keep everything up to date. It's a good deal if you want PS as well as LR but don't need or want the other programs that are in the creative suite. The creative suite is the only other way to get PS now(it's no longer sold as a stand alone option) and is $50/month or more. With all that info, Adobe has a version of LR that is available for tablets(iPads right now) but that does need to be associated with the subscription.
