I've taken a few classes in Photoshop Elements, and there are so many fun effects, as well as amazing ways to improve photos. I use Picasa for organizing. My favorite effect in PSE is 'painting' my landscapes and still lifes with the Impressionist brush. I've always wanted to paint, but don't have artistic ability. Now I've learned to cheat. You'd have a lot of fun with PS Elements, but, beware, it can gobble up the time!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021913578112308091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-52534390846430278082012-04-19T18:49:50.983-04:002012-04-19T18:49:50.983-04:00Picassa is a great tool for all photographers. nic...Picassa is a great tool for all photographers. nice post -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-14444281680032737462012-04-19T09:38:40.238-04:002012-04-19T09:38:40.238-04:00Next you'll be investing in Photoshop. :o) I...Next you'll be investing in Photoshop. :o) I can vouch for its addictive influence.Jean Baardsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434387984631853462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-58114876776475818502012-04-19T09:26:24.855-04:002012-04-19T09:26:24.855-04:00The best thing about these effects is how they can...The best thing about these effects is how they can jazz up a shot I'd otherwise delete -- the iris in the canning jar was far too cluttered a pic to be any good as it was but this gives a new way of seeing.<br /><br />Plus, it's fun.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-17785825825266904082012-04-19T09:10:23.866-04:002012-04-19T09:10:23.866-04:00Vicki, I will now put Picasa on my lengthening lis...Vicki, I will now put Picasa on my lengthening list of new things to try.
