? Re: Adobe Photoshop Elements vs. Regular Adobe Photoshop

[fluffernutter]

I am so inspired by all of the disney DISigns here that I would love to try and create something myself

so here is my question

I have adobe photoshop,not really sure what to do with it,other than resizing my photos for now,lol,but I see that many of you use photoshop elements for your DISigns.

do I need to have the elements program to learn what you are all doing,or will I be able to do it on the regular adobe photoshop that I have
any help would be greatly appreciated

i would hate to buy a new program if I could use what I have alerady.
thanks in advance

Don't know for sure, have only used Photoshop once and it was awhile ago, but I think you would be fine with what you have. As far as I know PS Elements is a "home" version of Photoshop.

The full Photoshop does everything that Elements does and then some. You can definitely design using Photoshop.

silly question, but can you manipulate jpg's as well as RAW photos in elements? Thanks

Yes.

I have a good price on a Canon Powershot g7 ( brand new). I know it doesn't shoot RAW, is that an issue if I used elements? I assume jpeg is fine?

Any other thoughts on this camera, feel free to let me know! <G>
Thanks
