Photoshop for a newbie?

The difference is Elements 5 will run natively on your Intel-based Mac instead of under Rosetta emulation like with Elements 4. This should greatly improve speed and stability.

Look up the Adobe website, they must have an upgrade special price for you. At least I hope they do.

just checked with the apple shop on the phone....... elements 5 is not availible for os x.

(i have seen an upgrade price from v4 to v5 on the adobe site..... but it asks the same again ie £55.)

ah well.... more pain today..... hope to have another pic for ya.

ok i did some last nite



my son is going to love it.

Ooh! Very good, joyseeker.

Me thinks you are quickly getting the hang of Elements.

If there is a cloning tool in Elements, I would eliminate the electrical wire in the trees in the background just to give it that extra wildlife/country look.

headcase.... here is my clone.

Well I have to say, you're one heck of a fast learner, joyseeker! With practice, you'll be a real pro!

When cloning try for smaller "surface repairs" so the eye doesn't notice any similarity with another area in the photo. It takes a lot of practice to master the cloning tool, I find.

But for a first-time beginner you're doing really swell! Congrats!
