Question For All Of You DISigners Out There

[LovingDisney2012]

I love seeing all of your designs, and I would love to do some of my own for WDW trips as well as birthdays, etc. What I would like to know is what photo shop programs you all use and what version? Thanks in advance

I use GIMP. It is free to download. My MAC is older, so I can't download the newer versions which seem to fix some of the issues I have. My version is 2.6.11 Leopard for MAC.

I started with Photoshop Elements 6. I now use Photoshop CS4. Elements worked and worked well and I would recommend it for anyone that is looking to do DISigning. My degree is in graphic design and after seeing the flexibility CS4 has I had to move up. That flexibility of course comes at the price of complexity and cost.

I use Photoshop Elements 10. I generally only upgrade every other version and see no need to go to PSE 11. So many free tutorials and videos available for PSE online!! and a terrific forum at elementsvillage.com

Photoshop Elements 10 here too...pretty user friendly with help of online tutorials and elementsvilliage like Marion said above. I got it on sale for half price on Amazon a little while back so I only paid about $45 which was a bonus! I does take a lot of time to learn how to do things and I still don't know how to do it all Practice, practice and practice is my advice.....
