With Photoshop elements you can cut a person or object out - can Aperture 3 do the same?

Looking to purchase Aperture 3 but wanted to know if it can do similar things to Photoshop elements.
Photoshop elements allows you to cut/remove objects, people, faces, etc...I would like to know if Aperture can do the same?
Are there any other features that Photoshop has that Aperture does not and vice versa?

They are different kinds of programs.
PSE is a graphics program.  Graphics programs are built from the ground up to do digital compositing.
Aperture is a DAM (Digital Asset Manager) and RAW converter and developer.  It is superb at each of those tasks.  It does not do compositing, but it does allow you to assign a program as its external editor.  Aperture then handles the trade-off (both ways) between Aperture and the specified external editor.
That is the standard Aperture set-up.  Most photographers need a DAM, an image developer, and occasionally a graphics program.  Those who shoot RAW need a RAW converter.
(Added)  Without the jargon, it comes down to this:  You use your camera to take digital photos.  You use Aperture to store and organize your photos, and to make each photo as good as it can be, as well as to make variants of your photos.  You use a graphics program to create new graphics that combine photos, text, shapes, etc.

  • I just upgraded my old versionj 3 of photoshop elements to v13  when I import photos they are not imported in the same order they are mixeds up

    hi can I have a reply to above question: I just upgraded my old versionj 3 of photoshop elements to v13  when I import photos they are not imported in the same order they are mixeds up

    In the documents screen - sorry, new to this so not sure if that's the right terminology... Basically the screen showing all documents, if you drag down, there should be two options at the of of the page: Date and Name. Select Name and your list should now be in alphabetic order.
    Hope that helps.

  • Problem syncing photos with Photoshop Elements 5.0

    I have a problem with syncing my photos using Photoshop Elements 5.0 to my AppleTV.
    After marking I want to use elements it shows my catalogs.
    But after syncing no photos are transferred to my AppleTV.
    I do get a circle with an explanation mark behind my AppleTV in iTunes, but it doesn't give any further information.
    The problem exists both when trying to sync all photos or selected catalogs from Elements.
    When I sync from folders or my pictures the pictures arrive without problem on my ATV
    Since I don't want all of my photos to be sent to my AppleTV, I would really like to use my Photoshop Elements.
    Anybody any suggestions?
    Thnx,
    Egbert

    Hello,
    I'm seeing exactly the same described bahavior using iTune 7.4.3 and PhotoShop Elements 5.0. I tried at least 4 versions of ITunes with all the same behavior. It's fine to sync from MyPictures but not from PhotoShop Elements Collections and these are exactly the same pictures that both are pointing to so no format issues. Same behavior from iTunes, a warning sign appears next to the AppleTV but when I click on it it does not show any text to describe the issue ?
    I doubt that the iTunes + Phitoshow elements 5.0 couple works at all ?
    Can anybody help with this ? Maybe Apple ?
    Regards
    Eric

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • Can I link iPhoto with Photoshop Elements Editor?

    The new AppStore PSE Editor doesn't seem to link with iPhoto like the full version

    If you're referring to iPhoto on your Mac:
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
    Be sure to select the correct item in the Adobe Photoshop Elements folder as the external editor in iPhoto:

  • How can I obtain a version of Print Studio Pro that works with Photoshop Elements 13 (64 bit)?

    How can I obtain a version of Print Studio Pro that works with Photoshop Elements 13 (64 bit)?  The advertising refers to Print Studio Pro 2 but all I find available to download is version 1.35.

    Thanks - I did notice that the 2 was a superscript on one site but on another (I think the one for the Pro-10 printer) it was definitely a 2 in line with the rest of the text and separated by a space (at least on my browser).  At any rate, I suspected something of the kind and will simply use Photoshop Elements 11 when I want a pattern print until the change is made.
    If you have an inside line to Canon you might also suggest some changes to their Image Garden program, specifically its handling of DVD label projects.  It has several themes and within each theme several layouts.  As far as they go these are fine but they do not give nearly enough flexibility.   The boxes for insertion of images are useful as is the simple procedure for rescaling the image so it is cropped in varying ways while staying within the fixed box.  However, it should be possible (a) to relocate the boxes on the page and (b) to resize and reshape the boxes - probably by a control which would become available by right-clicking on the box.  For example, there are times when the user might want to include a full 16 x 9 frame shot as one of the images, and in general the aspect ratios of the provided boxes do not permit this.
    I have over the years preferred to use Word for this purpose after setting up masks to expose just the printable area of the DVD or Blu-ray disc, setting up the margins so that the center of the disc is in the horizontal center of the page, and finally introducing text and pictures and adjusting the font size of blank lines above the disc to line everything up properly in the vertical direction.  A typical layout might involve one large picture, located so the center hole and the curved outer edge do not block anything important, or two pictures side by side, or four pictures centered vertically (to minimize the effect of the outer edge of the disc) but possibly of different widths (so as to make both close-ups and wide scenes optimal on the same disc label).  The text then goes above and below the pictures.  All of this works perfectly so I probably wouldn't use Image Garden very often for this purpose, but the inability to resize and relocate the boxes must be very limiting for others as well. 
    Some of the layouts have image locations severely reduced by the edge of the disc.
    As I said ... if you have an inside line to Canon .. but if not, please excuse the length of this post!

  • How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide show with Photoshop Elements 8?

    I have a banner for a web page that measures 800 x 200 pixels. I would like to create a slide show in the whole volume but I have been unable to discover where to change the standard size of the slide show window to 800x200 in Elements 8. Can anyone help?
    Al

    Many thanks for your reply. I edited a series of photographs to 800x200 as
    you described and then attempted to create a slideshow in Slideshow editor.
    I get a good horizontal fit in the slide frame but there are black bars top
    and bottom since the frame is more than 200 pix high. My question really is
    how do I create a 800x200 slide frame that the edited photographs will fit.
    Subject: How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide
    show with Photoshop Elements 8?
    In the slideshow editor interface click once on your image in the main
    window - you will see a bounding box appear together with editing options.
    Click on the More Editing button and when your image opens in full edit
    select the crop tool.
    Set width to 800 px and height to 200 px and resolution to 72
    Drag out your crop rectangle and move your image to the position you want -
    this avoids image distortion but you will sacrifice parts of the original to
    create a banner.
    Press Ctrl=S to save and check version set to save an edit without affecting
    the original.
    Press Ctrl+W to close and your cropped image should automatically pop up in
    the slideshow editor.

  • I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11.  PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files.  What do I need to do?

    You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • How can Photoshop Album SE3 be integrated with Photoshop Elements 1.0?

    How can Photoshop Album SE3 be integrated with Photoshop Elements 1.0?
    I am quite happy with Elements 1, but now have my images catalogued in SE3, can I link directly between the two programs?
    Maybe this has been asked before but the user forum is a nightmare to negotiate.

    Theer is no easy way to link them - this is something the paid-for PSA 2 can do. However, you can do simple drag and drop - drag a thumb out of PSA SE into PSE and the image will open. If you save back to the same file, you'll need to update the thumbnail. If you do a Save As, you'll need to import the new version.
