I am so glad you posted this poll. I tried to do it one time before and got it all wrong. I want to purchase one also. can't wait to see what people use.

OK--I am trialing the elements version--as the $700 price tag on the other is just too high for what I want to do! Does anyone have that version that can share with me how to do selective color (where you turn the photo black and white and bring back the color on just part of the photo)? I would really appreciate any help--I have 13 days left on my trial, and I am having such a tough time figuring this thing out...I think I need Photoshop for Dummies

You are not lying!! I felt so confident with the program I was using but kept seeing these AMAZING things with photoshop so I wanted to try it. With a 3-2-1 yr old I can't find the time to conquer it.

I just saw your post. Have you figured it out yet?? If not, I can probably help you. I just got elements for Christmas. I had the CS3 (or whatever the really pricey one is) for trial version and did the black and white with enhanced color portions so I assume it is similar to the elements version. Anyway, I know how confusing it is. I had to have a friend show me step by step and I am still confused about everything!

My decision has been made for me! I always love it when I don't have to think about something anymore. A family member got me photo explosion. I know nothing about this program. She had gone into best buy to get PhotoShop and the salesman said that this program should work well for me. It's more creative than "proffessional". For a mother of 2 3yr olds and a 1 yr old. I'll stick with simple!!!

Thanks for the offer! Hope you enjoy your new present!

Wow!! I just noticed that you weren't even talking to me!!
Oh well! Put in my two cents anyway
