Please help I need advice about photoshop software!

Hello there photoshop users! So I am semi new to using photoshop. I havnt purchased software yet because I want to make sure I purchase the right one. My plan is to take the photos I have taken and edit them to make into t-shirts. For example...I have this picture of me as the Queen of hearts for Halloween and I want to make it look like i'm actually in wonderland. I also want to take images from the internet and contstruct interesting photos. Which photoshop software would be best for me? I'm excited to start this new hobby I just need some good advice. Thank you!!!

I also want to take images from the internet and contstruct interesting photos.
I hope by »take« you mean »purchase« or »use only within the bounds of so-called fair-use«.
I have no experience with Photoshop Elements but supposedly that has Layer and masking capabilities, too.
So, while I personally would recommend Photoshop, you could just download the free 30-day-trials for both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements to see which one meets your needs.
And Gimp has been getting some positive mentions, so if you want to go with freeware that would be another option – again I have no experience with that.

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    When the Time Capsule disk starts to become full, Time Machine will automatically delete the oldest backups first to make room for new backups.
    For more details, I think you will get a faster and more informed response if you post in the TIme Machine forum for questions like this. We primarily handle configuration set up and networking questons about the Time Capsule as a hardware device on this forum, but it's possible that someone may see your post and respond from here as well.

    Have you attempted to reset the SMC? That would be the first step. Hold the left control, option, shift key and the power button for about 5 seconds and release. Then try to reboot. Might as well reset the PRAM as well. Hold command, option, P, R on start up until the machine restarts. If that doesnt' have any affect we'll have to dig deeper into a potential hardware failure.
    If this method doesn't work, check the webcam that will tell the problem is on the iSight & WiFi cable. If your webcam is ok, then it'll be the WiFi card problem. Hope it can help ;-)

    Hello purpleroses68
    To download any photos that were on your My Photos Stream, then you will need to have Photo Streamed turned on within your computer. Keep in mind that My Photos Stream only holds the last 30 days of photos and those will be the only one that will download. Check out the articles below for more information for the process and general information about getting your photos downloaded.
    Archive or make copies of your iCloud data

  • Need advice on video software.

    Need advice on video software.
    I currently use adobe elements 3 and have done so for a few years now with no problems. my os is XP and my system is a couple of years old, but we do have a brand new win7 machine in the house.
    I am currently look at Cyberlink PowerDirector 8 Ultra OR Adobe Premiere Elements 8. Reviews for both softwares seem very good BUT, when I dig deeper into user reviews instead of editor reviews do I find problems.
    Major problems with program crashing all over the place, at start up etc, and it is still not getting along with any win7 machine? Major problems with drivers. Honestly, I do not want to have to jump through dozens of hoops to get any software to run. After I pay for it, it should run, period.
    Has anyone else here used both softwares and can you give an honest opinion of each?
    I am also asking these same questions on the cyberlink site.
    I would like to upgrade my video software to take advantage of the new features that are coming out but I really don't want a big headache trying to run one or the other. To be fair, when I bought adobe elements 3 I had also bought pinnacle, which has gathered dust since my first week with it, which is why elements was purchased. That was money wasted and I do not wish to repeat this. I would like to go with Premiere Elements 8 but remain very unsure.

    If your newer machine is Win7 64-bit, it might be worth waiting for SP-1 to be issued, and then hope that 64-bit drivers are fully included. The 64-bit drivers now seem t be an issue at this point, and that will affect any NLE program.
    Also, and regardless of which particular program you choose, optimizing your computer, the OS, the hardware, and the resources management, will go a very long way to insuring success. Few programs can tax a computer, as an NLE can - any NLE. Video and Audio editing will stress your system, like almost nothing else can, except for heavy-duty CAD, or 3D work, though those are usually done only on specialized, optimized computers, designed just for those applications.
    Not the specific advice that you seek, but it's the best that I can do.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Please Help , I Need semicolon ; after TABLESPACE "MFEED_DATA"

    Hi All,
    please Help , I Need semicolon ; after TABLESPACE "MFEED_DATA"
    as I am getting ; like below example
    select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', 'A') || ';' As Result
    from dual;
    CREATE TABLE "MFEED"."A"
    (     "A" NUMBER
    ) PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 NOCOMPRESS LOGGING
    STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 NEXT 1048576 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645
    PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT)
    TABLESPACE "MFEED_DATA"
    regards,

    Hi,
    well, I don´t know if this works for any table, but I tried two of mine and it was ok:
    select substr(dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', '<table_name>'), 1,
    length(dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', '<table_name>') || ';')-4)|| ';' As Result
    from dual;
    If the string gets too long, you must use dbms_lob - functions for string manipulation, but for "normally sized" tables, it should work.

    Please help I need to rest the deleted history

    rest??
    Did you mean "restore"?
    Sorry, if you deleted your browsing history it is gone. No backups are made for browsing history, unless you have that set that up in a 3rd party application. Or if you have a backup of the places.sqlite file, which is where that data is stored in Firefox.

    Hi,
    Oracle 9.2.0.5 Windows 2000
    Please, give me an advice about best character set
    configuration for XML DB.
    During installation Oracle istallator suggests
    charset =AL32UTF8 for multilingual data and ncharset=
    AL16UTF16.
    Is it good settings for database, which will be
    used for usual multilingual data and XML DB ?
    Thanks,
    Viacheslav

    Yes, we strongly recommend the use of AL32UTF8 for XML DB.
