Used Photoshop Elements 2, 4, 6, and 8 and have been holding there although the temptation to try PE 2018 is pretty strong. Wondering if there will be an enormous learning curve. There's been a lot of firsts for me lately. Purchased a Canon 100-400mm lens for my wildlife photopraphy and recent trip to Alaska. Started my own web site with a dot com url with the intention of selling prints some day soon. I've been playing with adobe's lightroom and photoshop on a monthly basis and haven't been all that enamored as I thought I'd be. I dabble in the Linux operating system and found darktable, which surprisingly enough, is also available for Windoze and Mac in open source. I think I can probably learn to use that for my initial RAW workflow and then finish up in PE.
Found this site while purging some old passwords from no-longer-working web sites when I can across the free archived copies of Photoshop Elements User Mag from 2004 to 2016 at completedigitalphotography.com/pet/. Best Regards, Dave

Dave -
Welcome to Photoshop Elements and More!
You may want to wait a bit, as the new version of PSE will be out soon. If nothing else, that will lead to reduced prices on PSE 2018.

Hello Dave, and welcome from me, too. Just been looking at your killdeer photo. Beautiful looking bird. But how on earth did it get a name like that.  |

Dave, welcome to PSE&M! Glad to have you here.
Re updating to PSE 2018, . . . I am on the same wavelength as Craig. |

Hello Dave, and welcome from me, too. Just been looking at your killdeer photo. Beautiful looking bird. But how on earth did it get a name like that. I believe that the name comes from what someone thought it's vocalizations sounded like. It's sort of like the imagination one must have in order to see the images in star constellations. |

Thank you for the explanation,Dave.
I can't have an imagination - as I have never been able to see the images in star constellations.

Did you know that if you are part of a non profit group you can get Photoshop elements for a very small fee. I received PSE 18 plus the video for only $27. Tec Soup is the name of the program that has a list of company's willing to donate software, hardware and more. Just google TecSoup.
