My new toy
Jan 31st, 2008 by Nick
My new toy arrived yesterday. I bought an Amazon gift card from with all the loose change I’d collected in the fourth quarter of 2007, and used some of it to order Adobe Photoshop Elements on Sunday. For a few years, I was using a Corel package that came with the desktop before my current one, and did not realize that it was hacking the jpeg size (and therefore complexity) down to less than a quarter of the original. For the last year and a half, I’ve been using the free Picasa software, but it is rather rudimentary. The reviews of Photoshop Elements are mostly bi-polar - most people like it a lot, a few people despise it. The cost after rebate is $65, but I need to upgrade the quality of my photography results. Hosting too, but that’s a different post.
I do not think I will be able to play with Elements for another week, however; this weekend is completely booked solid and I leave on a business trip on Monday.
