Photoshop Versus Photoshop Elements for Digital Art Creation and Layers

I'm using Photoshop Elements 10.    If I want to use Photoshop with digital art (paintings mostly) and want to do touch up work and move elements of paintings into multiple layers, what extra features does Photoshop have that would benefit this application?
And what features are in Photoshop Creative Cloud, and CS6, versus CS5?   I do want to save some money and CS5 might be quite sufficient for my amateur uses.

There is 16 bit and 8 bit, but probably will not make much difference.
Only you know what kind of art you are doing.  If Elements works for you I see no need to put out $700 for Photoshop.
Do some web searches like this one.  http://digital-painting-software-review.toptenreviews.com/

  • I have purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 on Jan 24th and have not been able to install it.PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!

    I am very frustrated and disgusted as I had purchased Elements 13 on Jan 24th and I have tried everything to download it and all to no avail, I have called for support and they were to call me back and still no phone call, I have tried over and over again to follow the directions but still to no avail, IS THERE PLEASE SOMEONE WHO CAN GUIDE ME THROUGH THIS AS I AM ABOUT TO GIVE UP ON ADOBE.
    THANK YOU
    ANNE

    Ok, Anne.
    Get the eye fixed first. Follow Barbara B's suggestion.
    The problem is that download. Try to get an installation disk from Adobe ?
    Ps. My wife has used Elements 6 for 5 years without an issue, but, it was installed using the . Adobe Software disk. We found 13 was really not much better..as there was a problem with converting  Canon RAW CR2 files to jpeg
    If all fails you could return it for a refund which they will honour.. I did it with  Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 ,which did not have a stabilizer and could not handle anamorphic HD very well.. When the upgrade came it fixed everything and has run perfectly for nearly 5 years.
    You should be very pleased with Adobe Photoshop Elements 13, when you get it operating.  We have  run  Photoshop Elements for over 10 years and it is faultless, Nearly as good as ADOBE Photoshop Pro which is easier to use and over 10,000 + images have been processed .
    Incidentally, both Yahoo with Flicker, Flickr: bobdixphotographer's Photostream and Google Photos+ (PICASA) Photos - Google+  have inbuilt editors for free, but, there are limitations.

    I have just installed Photoshop Elements for a MAC. MY photos were in iPhoto, I have 47,000 pictures and my drive on my Mac laptop is not large enough. I store my photos in iPhoto on an external drive. Can I store all my photos on an external drive when using Photoshop Elements? If so, in what format should they be stored in? I do I move them from iPhoto to the new storage location? How do I call them up in organizer? And how do I call them up to Edit? I do not want to store any pictures on my Apple Mac laptop. I want to store pictures on several external devices.

    Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
    Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
    You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
    Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
    Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

  • I had purchased Adobe Premiere Elements along with Adobe Photoshop Elements for my MacBook Air

    I had purchased Adobe Premiere Elements along with Adobe Photoshop Elements for my MacBook Air OSX Mavericks. Due lack of space I had to reiinstall OSX and could not retirieve from Seagate Back-up drive software in workable condition. Options please?

    All you should have to do is to go to the Adobe web site http://www.adobe.com.
    Sign in with your Adobe ID and Password.
    Then go the web page's Search field and type in "My Orders".
    Follow the "My Orders" link to your orders, find the order corresponding to the version in question.
    There should be an opportunity there to download a new set of installation files.
    Do you have your purchased serial number? If not, I am not sure if it will be included in the "My Orders"
    area. But, it should be in the "My Products" which you can access from the Search field. Click on the
    name of your product in "My Products", and the serial number should be revealed.
    Please let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • I am with a university and i purchased the adobe photoshop elements for a faculty member of mine, how can he download it when it is in my name but he is the one needing it?

    i am with a university and i purchased the adobe photoshop elements for a faculty member of mine, how can he download it when it is in my name but he is the one needing it?

    There is nothing to prevent him from downloading and installing the trial version (Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe).  At the point all you need to do is provide him with the serial number so that he can activate it.  If the intent is that he be the owner of the software then you might want to see about transfering the license...

    I RECIVED AN EMAIL FROM ADOBE AS  :  As good will gesture, we can help you with the upgrade for PSE 13. We would request you to place the order for Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 as an upgrade and then we will provide you the full version serial number for the same product against the new upgrade order"  IS THIS UPGRADE FREE AND WHAT SHOULD I DO, HOW CAN I HAVE THIS UPGRADE?

    Compare with on-line stores. The full version is often cheaper than Adobe's upgrade price.
    See this example from Amazon, but check pricing in your own region.

  • Anyone using Photoshop Elements for Fashion Design

    Hi,
    I'm looking for software to help me in the Fashion Design Industry. I want to use it for my sketches.   I am a beginner when it comes to Fashion Design and have no experience using Photoshop software.  I had read somewhere that Photoshop Elements is a less expensive version of Photoshop.  I read that it does 90% of what Photoshop does without the higher end pre -press printing capabilities.  I also read that there is a book that will help you with the other 10% to achieve the full Photoshop capabilities.
    1a.  I would like to know is anyone using Photoshop Elements for Fashion Design?
    1b.  If yes, please explain in details what exactly are you using it for?
    2a.  Is there more than one version of Photoshop Elements?
    2b.  If so, what version do you recommend?
    3.   How easy is it to use?
    4.  Do you know of any books you can recommend that will help me with using the software for fashion design?
    5.  If you don't feel Photoshop Elements is the best choice, then what other software would you recommend?
    Thanks

    I've never used PSE for fashion design, but there is only one flavor of elements, not a variety of different versions. I would wonder about using it for this because it could make a lot of difference if you need to create output in CMYK form (for print) or to softproof (neither of which is available in PSE). You also can't create composite layers in Elements.
    I like Elements a lot, but I would not say it's 90% of Photoshop, more like 70% and I would expect that people would use Illustrator rather than PS for most things to do with creating illustrations. Also, there is no book that can make PSE into PS, although you can extend what it can do, but Adobe has deliberately crippled certain features in PSE.
    I would say we need to know what you need a program to do to be able to give you any useful kind of advice. If you need to be able to draw vectors and paths, PSE is not a good choice. If you just need to sketch, it's fine.

  • Photoshop Elements for Mac - Three Versions Installed

    Hi there,
    I'm cleaning up stuff on my iMac and find I have three purchased versions of PhotoShop Elements for Mac installed, V4, V6 and now V8.  Can I safely remove the old V4 and V6 versions without them affecting anything in V8?
    Also, there are other versions of related software, such as Adobe Bridge, then Adobe Bridge CS3 and CS4.  Can the original and CS4 versions be removed.
    What else might have multiple versions relating to Photoshop Elements?
    Can I remove these by simply deleting them from the Applications or is there a process which needs to be followed, i.e., an Uninstall?
    Guidance much appreciated.
    Lynn

    "Never delete anything, just buy a bigger hard drive"!
    After I admit to being "slightly eccentric", let me say I don't know why you even need to uninstall any of them. The only caveat there is you can't run two versions simultaneously.  I have PSE- 5 & 7 installed on one of my computers, and I import the same file into both catalogs, while duplicating the folders on a separate HDD also. You can never be to sure, or is that too insecure, I'm not really sure.

  • I purchased Photoshop Elements for windows and need it on mac

    I purchased Photoshop Elements for Windows and need it for Mac.  Can I reverse this or is there a way to get the right product?

    I don't know if things have changed (I get the feeling they have as of late), but normally an Elements license can be applied to either platform, so you should be able to download the trial  version for the Mac and use the serial number to activate it.  If you have any problem you should be able to resolve it with customer spport thru chat.

    Sfasolo it appears you are installing Photoshop Elements as opposed to downloading Photoshop Elements.  For the error you have described I would recommend reviewing Updated installation instructions | Premiere Elements 10 | Mac OS - http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/updated-installation-instructions-premiere-ele ments.html.

    I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 last August 2013 and having problems with installing it on Windows 8.1.  Why am I having this problem?

    You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account.  If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.
