Ok now I got it installed - Much more similar to other photoshop versions than to photo deluxe which I've been sailing through for months - couple of things I can't find after a few tries in the help menu -
(1) can't find the tool for adding a boarder. In photo deluxe it was under the effects menu. to solve that, I opened the file in photo deluxe after having scanned it into elements and added the border. Saved that file as jpg and tif and it is still there as pdd (2) Is there no text window? (3) I used the neat file info tool - that was easy to do, but it appears one has to put it in for each type of file one saves to. and it wasn't immediately apparent how one reads it later. (4) I took the tif and loaded into publisher for a page on my calendar - it printed beautifully, but when I am viewing the image in publisher it looked the way a file on the web looks when it is dithered and not fully clear - or how it looks when one zooms in in an image editing program. This didn't happen with files I created in Deluxe 4.0 - annsan feeling technologically challenged
