Can I merge photos, create collages, erase backgrounds with this software?

From what I read you can do these things. I did not get a chance to try. The software kept locking up.

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

Yes, PSP can do this. But it's anything but a one- or two-click process. In order to do this, one has to prepare the background image, then carefully (and tediously) use the selection tools to outline the subject. Then copy the selection, switch to the background image and then use the "Paste as Selection" function to place it on the background. It gets easier with practice. There are several methods to adjust the blend between background and subject. Values for "Feather" and "Smoothing" and anti-aliasing can be adjusted and the "Soften" tool can be used to blend the outline of the placed selection.

yes, I believe you can make a collage with PM 18.1. You can copy a variety of images, pictures, etc., and paste them on a MP poster or blank page. I think this program is exceptionally versitile, but I have been using PM for years. Once you get familiarized with this program, I think you will love it. I certainly do!

I wish I could help as I have a Gateway too, but I don't know anything about Photoshop. Sorry.

Yes you can. You can save them to the inboard memory or a SD card. And if I remember correctly there are several templates that you can save still pictures too that give them borders and accents.

Your Photo Suite must have the capability to select and eliminate the unwanted background and then replace it with the desired digital background. I have not used your particular programas I use Photoshop so not sure about that. jpeg and tiff are both compatible formats but psd is only used with Photoshop. Hope this helps.

Yes. But it takes a bit of learning curve. Not as easy as in Adobe. But still doable

I'm not sure what type of software you currently are using but I've been using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to process, catalog and store all of my RAW images. However, there are many free RAW image processors available. I would suggest doing a google search for free RAW image processing software and try some out. Hope this helps!

Yes you can add your own backgrounds to the folder where all of the selections are held

Hi KImberly! No- technically you don't! If you use certain software that can cleanly extract a person or object out of a background, no you don't have to get a green screen. That being said, Clive at the EZBackground company can walk you through if you contact him. I believe he has replied to many customers questions on the forum. Also, I use Photoshop 7 but lean on Photoshop Elements 9. THey just released version 12- and it doesn't sound like they added a tremendous amount of features that people should feel compelled to get the newest version. Plenty of PSE versions around but I would not go lower than 9. Why not ask Clive your question and tell him what software you have so he can let you know if it will be compatible? I have many digital imaging programs but I bought nothing special in order to use this incredible set of cd's! And the company offers video tutorials you can watch online or even download until you get the hang of how to use certain features. It really is a fantastic buy for the price- so do consider buying it, if you speak to Clive( or any one at the company who replies to you ) and they advise if your software is compatible. This company is great and now they are sending out terrific, informative/ educational newsletters since they just enhanced their website! Good Luck, and if you buy it- have fun! :-)

I would say yes, but I have not used this computer for too long. You know that at the begining all windows computers perform great, but after a while it starts giving problems. But for now, I have used photoshop, photmatrix and lightroom and everything is great.

You'll want to use the Backup and Restore functions in the Organizer -- http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html

Yes, if you convert the your proprietary raw files to DNG using the free Adobe DNG Converter. More detail here: http://adobe.ly/ACRandDNG

I followed up on their site here is what is listed EZbackgrounds digital backgrounds can be used with most mid-level image editing programs. Compatible versions include all versions of Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and all versions of Corel Paintshop Pro. You can also use the free program GIMP. Sounds like it won't work for Lightroom 5.

If you really want to use all the images then yes you need photoshop as many of the files are photoshop files and use layers.

Yes, but you will need a program capable of making an image file. There are a lot, depending upon your operating system, so just read about a few.
