Photoshop VS Elements for a new digital scrapbooker?

I really need advise about which Adobe product to use.  I have very little experience with Elements 9 so basically, I am a total newbie.  I take photos as a hobby and
now am getting into digital scrapbooking.  After research and talking with a few photographers, I realize Lightroom is amazing for the photo side of things and organizing/editing them.
What I really need advise on is the digital scrapbooking side of things.  Most digital scrapbookers promote Elements.  I am considering joining the cloud which I believe comes with
the Photoshop and the Lightroom.  I have read that Photoshop is basically unlimited with the power it has but also comes with a huge learning curve.  Remember I am a newbie at this
but willing to dig in and learn either program.  Most of the digital scrapbooking kits you can get online come in jpg, tiff & png formats.  I would love some advise from those that do digital scrapbooking.  Which do you use and why?  Which would be best for me as a newbie?  Thanks in advance for any help!

What you describe sounds like you're trying to use digital with analog speakers. What make/model speakers do you have? Did they come from Dell?

    What is your "Elements 2" - Photoshop Elements 2 or Premiere Elements 2? For now I will assume Premiere Elements 2 which had to be on some version of Windows.
    What do you have from Premiere Elements 2 - project files (.prel) or exports to file formats such as .avi or .mpg or .mov?
    Project files from Premiere Elements (any version) Windows cannot be used in Premiere Elements (any version) Mac.
    Video files exported from Premiere Elements 2 with its QuickTime choice (.mov files) would be likely to open in Premiere Elements 13 Mac. The other Premiere Elements
    2 choices of MPEG and Windows Media would be expected to need conversion to .mov or .mp4 before import into Premiere Elements 13.
    In Premiere Elements 13 Mac, consider importing the files from wherever you save files in Mac to a project with the project's Expert workspace Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets. I would strongly encourage you to set the project preset manually (File Menu/New/Project) to match the properties of these source files before import rather than let the project do it manually for you based on the properties of the first video dragged to the Timeline.
    Please supply more details so that we can fine tune the reply. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • Shameless plug for my new digital imaging blog

    Hi everybody!
    This is nothing but a shameless plug for my new digital imaging blog @ http://www.imagingpro.wordpress.com.
    I'm looking for readers, in particular photographers, and you are probably looking for interesting information, so it is all good.
    I hope you find it worthwhile, as in not useless.
    Gotta go now before the moderator comes and spambins me :-)
    Mathias

    Com'on Larry, Mathias is a good guy and does wonderful work, and the blog looks good as well.
    There is of course the wars of who is better, them or us, but I think this is natural.
    And larry things are more expensive there then they are here, though when I am over in Europe I try to put the currency exchange out of mind and think in terms of Euros as being euros and dollars. Certain things there are actually more reasonable but not and certain cities are more reasonable priced as well.
    True they have larger incomes then us and pay no medical expenses if they choose but that is the balance of things and i think it is wonderful that they get a chance to save money and get a chance to see the U.S. and I guess i many cases New York.

  • Do you need adobe photoshop or elements for the ipod with video?

    I am so very frustrated. It took me three days to get quicktime and itunes installed. Finally figured that out. I go to hook up my ipod and it is not working. Ipod has not shown up at all. Instead I get the Windows Hardware finder trying to find the hardware/drivers for it. I have gone thru the 5 r's twice. I have tried different USBS. So this is what I need to know.
    Do I have 5th generation. I cannot find it anywhere on the box. I got it for xmas and says that it plays video and slide shows. It says version 1.0 and model MA146LL.
    On the box it list requirements. My computer meets the box requirements. But according to the website, 5th generation ipods need adobe photoshop or elements? Is this so? I don't have either would that be why it is not working?
    The 5 R's. I have tried twice. With no success. Do I have to go thru my entire computer and delete every little file that holds ipods and Itunes? (I had to do this to finally get quicktime installed.) Do I need to delete Quicktime?
    I have tried 3 usb ports none have worked. Why do they say try a different one?

    With iOS 5 you do not need a computer. The new iPod comes with iOS 5.  However, you have XP so you can install iTunes and sync with the iPod.  However, you computer /XPdoes not support the iCloud features.

  • How do I download/install Photoshop & Premiere Elements 10 on new iMac with no disc drive?

    My iMac hard drive recently failed and I lost everything. I just bought one of the new iMacs with no disc drive.  I had purchased Photoshop CS5 in 2011 but it came with CD's for install.  I stil have them but it doesn't do me any good since there is no disc drive to put them in on the new computer. How can I install Photoshop using my serial number from my original purchase?  I downloaded the CS6 trial version and when I try to activate it with my old serial number it says it is invalid.  

    There are links to trial installers on pages:

    Very carefully read and follow the instructions on the pages!
    Download and install the trials, launch and activate them with your serial number then do 'Help > Updates'.

  • Downloading Photoshop/Premiere Elements for Windows

    I am trying to download Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10 for Windows on my PC. There are many different things that are there to download. Do I download them all? If not, which ones do I do? My computer is a 64-bit.
    These are my options:

    Anyways.....a lot of that seems repetitive and I just am not sure if I am supposed to download it all or only certain ones. If someone could help me out, great! Thanks.

      The Adobe Download Manager will deal with everything automatically. You can download both programs simultaneously if you have a fast connection, other wise I would recommend installing Photoshop Elements first. Then download Premiere Elements 64 bit. Finally update the content fpor |premier Elements and you are good to go.

  • Digital Scrapbooking - Changing page sizes  Elements 4

    I downloaded a "paper" from a disgital scrapbooking web site, to be used as a background for creating a digital scrapbook page. The paper was 12 X 12 in. Is there a way for me to convert it to a 8 X 11.5 in. in the Elements workplace? I tried to resize, but the "smallest" I could get it to go to was 8 X 8 in. Thanks.

    Kathy,
    You are going from a square layout to a rectangular layout. To do that,
    you need to either crop off part of the image or to scale the horizontal and
    vertical dimensions to different sizes. Which method you use will depend
    somewhat on what your background image looks like.
    The first thing you should do is set your image resolution using the
    "Image>Resize>Image Resize..." command from the menu. When you use that
    command, you'll see a section in the middle labeled "Document Size" and it
    contains the width, height, and resolution of the image.
    I assume you are going to print the page. For that, the resolution needs to
    be set to something in the range of 200 to 300 pixel per inch for an inkjet
    printer (larger prints can use a lower number, you want 8.5x11 so I would
    use 300 personally). Your background may already be at 300. I'm not a
    scrapebooker, so I went to a few sites and looked at a few backgrounds. The
    ones I saw were all 3600x3600 pixels and 300 pixels/inch which would
    correspond to 12x12 inches. I don't know if that's a de facto standard or
    not. But, if it is, you may already be at 300 and don't need to change it.
    If you need to change the resolution, uncheck the "Resample Image" checkbox
    and then type in the new resolution.
    Ok, you're now at 300 pixels per inch and your document dimensions are still
    12 inchs by 12 inches.
    There are several ways you can change the dimensions.
    An easy way, if your image doesn't contain any elements that would suffer
    from distortion is to scale the horizontal and vertical dimensions
    independently. You should still be in the Image Resize dialog box.
    Uncheck the "Constrain Proportions" checkbox and Check the "Resample Image"
    check box. Now, type 8.5 in the width field and 11 in the height field.
    Click on OK to keep the changes and exit the Image Resize dialog box. You
    will now have an 8.5x11 inch image at 300 ppi.
    If the background has elements that you don't want to distort, follow the
    same procedure but type in 11 in both the height and width field. This will
    make an 11 inch square image at 300 ppi which you can then crop to 8.5 x11
    inches.
    Select the crop tool from the tool bar. In the options bar, set width to
    8.5 inches and height to 11 inches. Do not type anything in the resolution
    field, leave that blank. Now, move the cursor to the top left corner of the
    image, click and drag the cursor down and to the right until the cursor
    reaches the bottom of the image. The crop area will be 8.5 x 11. If
    necessary, click in the crop area and drag to reposition the location. Press
    enter or click on the check in the options bar to crop the image.
    Save the background image as new file and don't save over the old one. You
    want to keep your original image intact for future use.
    Hope this helps,
    Bob
    P.S. I see Ward was faster than I was :-) Hi Ward!
    Ward's method works just as well as mine. There are lots of ways to do
    things in Elements.

    I just updated my mac from Tiger to Mountain Lion.  wiped the computer clean and started fresh Loaded Photoshop elements 11 (brand new in the box) and when I try to start it - it comes up saying - Licensing for the product has stopped working contact for help. in Looking for help I was directed here. what do I do?

    I don't know enough to not follow directions. I bought the software brand new in a sealed from factory box. Had it sitting around until - last week when I deleted flash on my computer and had to upgrade to the new OSX. Mountain Lion doesn't use iPhoto - so I had to go with something else. Since I already had this new - unopened package  I opened it up. Shut down all running programs - inserted the disk and followed all the directions for installation.  Still it didn't work.
    I have now uninstalled it (the proper way) and am going to try again.
    I appreciate your responses.
    Thank you!
    If this doesn't work - I am going to just buy Lightroom.

    You are allowed to have two activated installations.  If you happened to have one on this Windows 8 machine before, it is possible that the activation used for it was never deactivated (did you deactivate it before you upgraded Windows?).  Talk to Adobe support thru chat.  They might be able to resolve this with you:
