hi can someone explain whats the difference between photoshop and lightroom, im currently using an old PS to edit my underwater pics but was wondering if i should move to lightroom now ive got my new set up....S95 and recsea housing....i want to sort my pics the best i can....any suggestions please
Since we have no idea what computer mantababe is using, but since she uses an "old PS to edit" it seems kind of presumptuous to worry about Elements 9 / Windows 7.
I have Lightroom and Photoshop and have barely scratched the surface of what they can do. It's silly to spend the money for a super complex tool if you don't need it. Photoshop Elements V9 is not reliable, according to reviews at Amazon. The last reliable version was PSE V7 but that's not good with Win7.
I bought my Elements 4 (mac), w/ Users Guide book, off eBay; $20 shipped to Hawaii. mantababe is familiar with photoshop, so editing with Elements 4-7 should not be super complex for her. A major question in the OP concerns sorting.
Photoscape web page:Photoscape is a fun and easy photo editing software that enables you to fix and enhance photos.
That web page does not list "sorting" as one of the "key features."
Perhaps better answers would come if we did know what computer mantababe is using.
