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

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

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

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

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