admin Question by Chloe M: What photo editing software is best for a beginner?
I am just starting and I’m looking for the best value for reliability, most of the functions, and the lowest price. Any ideas? I would like to hear about your own experiences with the software.
Best answer:
Answer by Dr. Sam
Photoshop Elements 5.0
If you want to explore the world of Adobe Photoshop without spending the big money for the full product, get Photoshop Elements 5.0. It is a tremendously powerful program and it only sells for $ 99.00. You can get it at http://www.adobe.com or any of the usual places you buy software.
You can use it practically right out of the box with the “Quick Fix” option and then you can advance into the full program, learning TONS about the Photoshop world as you go. Frankly, I think neither you nor I would ever explore the full capabilities of Photoshop Elements 5.0. If you ever DO think you are ready for more, you will already know much of what you will need to know about “real” Photoshop. They’ll undoubtedly have a new and improved version by then. Since Nikon just came out with a totally new image editting package, Adobe will have to step up to the plate.
