Last week we bought a new zoom lens for our camera. We still have to experiment with it some more but so far, so good. In an effort to perfect our photography skills – we also broke down and bought Photoshop Elements 9 with a recent Best Buy coupon. It took 10% off our purchase – not too much but every bit helps. A little overwhelmed by all the cool features – there is lots to learn so bear with us. We are open to any tips!!
Here is my first Photoshop attempt… They say practice makes perfect – we shall see…

Very nice. I like it. I have Elements 9 and it took a bit, but once you get used to it, it is pretty easy to use. Now I am trying Lightroom, which I really like. I am contemplating forking over the money for that one. Elements and Lightroom can work together. I am having fun with them.

That’s good to know. I will play with it some more. I’ll have to check out Lightroom.

Great job with photoshop! Is Elements the basic entry level? I’ve heard good things about Lightroom too…thinking about which to go for… Well done with these pictures!

Thanks. Elements seems to be the basic version. Heard great things about Lightroom too
