"From your questions, you don't want Photoshop at all, but a non-professional photo editor"
I have an old program called Picture Publisher, it cost about $100. I have read dozens of pages and watched youtube videos all about how to use photoshop.. but when it is all done and the results are shown, I have not seen any result I can not produce with my old program.
The one utility Photoshop does have is magic mask that lets you mask everything in a photo.
With mine you can only mask contiguous areas and if there are tiny areas like between flying hair, then I have to manually touch each little spot.
My goal is simple, take portraits... poses against a solid green background.. set the tolerance so a small range of that color green is masked, reverse the mask and paste the cropped portrait on any background, feather em a bit.
When a tiny area of the green is showing through, that is what takes time to mask.
The magic mask that selects all of one color any where is the only tool Photoshop has that i need.
And I did think you could buy discontinued versions of Photoshop. I did upgrade to windows 8, dont like it, still have it but bought two more used windows 8 computers
Thanks

  • What version of Photoshop Elements came with the Epson V500 scanner?

    What version of Photoshop Elements came with the Epson V500 scanner?
    Will Photoshop Elements 13 work with the Epson V500 on Windows XP and Windows 8?

    Hi,
    I don't have a V500 but the data sheet for it says that it came with PSE 5 for Windows - unless they released a newer package.
    PSE 13 will NOT run on Windows XP - you need Windows 7 or 8.1
    PSE 13 doesn't support the Twain interface on 64bit systems and so is unlikely to support the V500.
    The last release that might work for you is PSE 12 but keep in mind that there will not be any more updates for that version.
    Your best bet is to download the trial version and test it on your system. If it works you might still be able to find PSE 12 for sale in some of the stores.

  • Upgrade to CS2, what version of photoshop do i need?

    I have just bought Creative suite 2 premium, it is new and sealed, but the seller didnt tell me I would need a copy of photoshop to use this software as an upgrade. What version of photoshop do I need? and could I get away with an elements version of photoshop for the upgrade as this would save me £££.
    Cheers

    CS2 is not vista compatible.
    BTW, shrink-wrap machinery is cheap.
    Thirty-five years ago a company called Sam Goody had unbelievable sales
    on records (now known as vinyl). They were advertised weekly in the NY
    Times and other newspapers. The records came in original sealed
    packages. The chain of Sam Goody stores was eventually convicted of
    bootlegging their disks. That was how they were able to afford their
    sales. They weren't paying the distributors for many of the disks sold.
    I used to buy hardware from another well-known electronics store in NY.
    I always bought new. I was having trouble with a certain company's VCR.
    The VCRs were all shrink-wrapped in original boxes. After returning 5
    VCRs, one of the guards took pity on me and told me that I should stop
    trying to get that model VCR since at this point I was likely getting
    one of the same VCRs that I returned. That was over 20 years ago.
    If shrink-wraping machines were available then---they are probably
    prolific now.
    Shrink-wrap, bar codes, part numbers are no guarantee that something is
    not bootleg. That is why Microsoft goes through great lengths to create
    seals that are hard to replicate. If a deal is too good, there is a
    reason for it. Just a heads up.

    Currently have access to a friends computer with CS3 installed.I am going to buy a desktop with Windows 8 and I also have a laptop with Windows 7. What version of Photoshop is currently available that will work on both the desktop and the laptop? Can I install the same copy of Photoshop on the both machines simultaneously?

    You can either buy a CS6 perpetual license, or Creative Cloud subscription.  Both will run on the two computers you mention.  You are allowed two installation with either version, but they must be for the same user. There is a cheap as chips Photography deal that gives you Photoshop and Lightroom for just $10/month, and feature gap is ever widening between CS6 and CC

  • What versions of Photoshop Elements are compatible with Windows 8?

    What versions of Photoshop Elements are compatible with Windows 8?

    Microsoft advises that all versions of PSE except versions 1, 3, 5 & 6 will work with Windows 8. The best option is a new computer with W8 and then do a clean install of Elements. Some difficulties may arise if upgrading the operating system on top of existing software. In those circumstances make sure you have your original disks or your download package, in case a re-install is necessary.
    Microsoft Windows 8 compatibility.

  • What version is right for me?

    Dear FCP Users
    I've got 100 gbs worth of footage from a Panasonic 101, and I want to put it together into a small film.
    I am familar with Final Cut Pro 9 having used it whilst working as a logger. I'm wondering what version is right for me, I could try and find a version of a older cut pro version or I could just buy FCPx.
    I'm only looking to,
    Log footage (Convert to pro-res)
    Cut it in the timeline
    Use Liveword
    Grade it (using magicbullet filter)
    Record and edit audio
    Burn it to DVD and setup for web format
    I'm using a,
      Model Name:    iMac
      Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:    2 GHz
      Memory:    1 GB
    Is it even fast enough to run FCP?
    How different is FCPx in its usage compared to other versions of FCP?
    Cheers, lots of questions, but I'm sure you can help!

    Tell us about FCP 9.  Is it more like FCP 7 or FCP X?
    My bad, meant final cut 7. Got confused due to reading a thread about FCPx being the equiv of FCP10, so being non the wiser, when I was told I was using the latest version I assume that it would be be FCP9.

    Just purchased Lightroom (stand alone) and asks for a previous serial number. I don't have one only an students version of photoshop for which I can't find the serial number

    If it is asking for a serial number for a previous version then you purchased an upgrade version rather than a standalone version.  You should be able to determine this based on the price you paid.  If you do not own an earlier version then you need to purchase a full version rather than an upgrade.  If you did purchase a full version but acquired an upgrade version then you will need to acquire the full version.

  • What version of Photoshop to use?

    Hello,
    I "used to be" a professional photographer but am now retired.  I would like to get into using Photoshop but don't know what version to use.  Can someone help?  I have an HP w/AMD Athlon II X4 640 Processor w/6GB RAM and all the bells & whistles that go along with that.
    Thanks,

    Your just starting you need to ask yourself a couple of question. How serious do you think you want to get into post processing.  If you want to alter images things like removing objects, adding objects replaceing backgrounds then you will need a good editor and have a lot to learn.  If on the other hand you just want to enhance yout images so develop your images better then to come from your camera you get by with less.
    in anycase Adobe is the gold standard when it comes to Image processing and you can download 30Day free trials of the products.  However you not going to learn any of then well in 30 days.
    My suggestion would be to buy alicence for Photoshop Elements.  It a subset of Photoshop with a price around $100 compaired to $700 for Photoshop. Anything tou learn in Photoshop Element will go a long way if after a year or so you deside you need full blown Photoshop.   Photoshop Element has a little more hand holding for the novice user then Photoshop which has none.  With Elements you can also use Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) with some minor limitations to develop you RAW files into RGB images.   If you find that all you wind up doing you may wing just needing Lightroom alonf with Elements for Editing for removeing, adding and replacing objects. Lightroom is onle $300 has great image organiastion feature using databases and an output module the has some niced fretures for createinf I beleive slideshows, Web Photo Galleries and prints. I don't use Lightroom or Elements I just user Photoshop.
    Right now your better of with Element to learn Photoshop. The Latest version of Photoshop CS6 is very buggy and there issue with some hardware and software  you need to be careful to meet the right hardware requirements and install the proper drivers.  You did not state which Video card you machine has.  Check Adobe Web site to see if they have tested the card your machine has. Adobe is working on fixing CS6 who knows by the time you learn Photoshop maybe CS6 will be fixed or there will be a newer better Photoshop.
