Adobe Elements offer

[ffutures]

Morgans are offering this package for Windows:

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 & Adobe Premier Elements 10 + Jazz Junior Camera - £49 + VAT + P&P

It's an OEM deal which is why they include the camera, which I suspect is pretty naff. Stocks are allegedly limited. Apart from the camera it sounds like a good deal, but I don't really need it, I don't do movies and I'm reasonably happy with the photo editing software I use.

Is there any reason why I would want this in preference to Corel paint and the other software I use?

Collaboration is the main reason for using Photoshop. It's the standard graphical editing tool for most semi-pro and pro graphics folks and the .psd file format is proprietary, in theory. Passing workfiles and WIP back and forth between people is usually done in .psd in the same way documents in big organisations have to be MS Word compatible.

There are also a lot of plugins and third-party tools for Photoshop and Premiere if you have special requirements. Corel is not as well supported in that area.

If you don't need to collaborate or require specific plugins the package you use regularly is the best one for you. I've got an OEM copy of Corel Draw/PhotoPaint I've been using for the past ten years or more and the commands are in finger memory now. Learning Photoshop from scratch would be a lot of work.

About what I thought - thanks!
