I use Photoshop, but only because I bought it (student edition) before
Photoshop Elements came out. If I were starting now, I'd use Photoshop
Elements. I think the additional features that I'm aware of in the full
Photoshop system (color space managementm etc.) are more useful for a
My suggestion, if you're used to the Photoshop interface, is to at least
upgrade to Photoshop Elements. It's got more to offer than LE. Though I do
recommend full Photoshop.

Matthew,
There are many others subscribing to this mail list that can better advise
you than I but this is my opinion:
While there is no question that Photoshop is a powerful and precise
graphics application, to the beginner, it is also very intimidating.
Jasc's Paint Shop Pro (version 7.02),
Photoshop is not necessary unless you intend to be employed in the business.
Photoshop Elements or 5.0 LE could do it for you, or Jasc PSP or even Corel
PhotoPaint. What you learn in learning to use these other programs will
apply to PS itself if and when it becomes worthwhile to shell out

It has a really good colour management system, and that is the best thing
going for it

Matthew: If you have PS 5.0 LE and you eventually intend to usr PS, I would
suggest you at least load it and register it even if you use another imaging
program. As Adobe upgrades the product, you will get offers to upgrade the
product at a much lower price than the $500. I also think that

PS-LE will get you started, Matthew. If you're an amateur,
the $600 price of
Adobe6.0 isn't justifiable

One bit of caution. When it comes to rotating an image to align a tilted
image, neither of these applications do it well. Image alignment should
be done by carefully aligning the image in the scanner. 90 and 180 degree
rotations are handled very well with both applications.

Oh-Oh, it appears I've been redirected to the SM newsgroup (again!) ;-)
Then again, there does seem to be some correlation between color
management and scanning and masochism... ;-)

numerous others and support the idea that you not only don't need PS

Many thanks to all for your quick, sympathetic, informative, and
helpful advice and comments. I particularly value the specific
information on features present or more effective in one program or

I guess the thing for me to do is give the PS 6.0 free tryout a
workout during the month
