About Romanas Naryškin
Hi Roman – I mainly use Lightroom 4 for all of my image editing but also own Photoshop CS5 which I have a lot of trouble using but am trying to learn more about how to use it. I also own Photoshop Elements that I have never used or know what it is. Is this just an updated version of this Photoshop elements and something that would be useful to me?
I guess you can see I am pretty confused here. Can you break it down just a little for my clarification? I mainly only do landscapes and then enlarge them quite a lot for framing. My work is mainly just cleaning up photos that I have and not making huge changes which to me means that I just didn’t capture what I was after and need to try it again.
Always appreciate your help

Also are they very many useful upgrades from Elements 9 to the new Elements 10 for someone like me that is strictly a landscape photographer? I really need to learn Photoshop at some time here in the future.
It is just that Lightroom is so user friendly and easy to tweak my photos just a little. I am more of the mindset that if I cannot capture the photo and have to really depend on photoshop programs to make my photo work, then I have failed as a photographer . Then I need to go back and try to reshoot the photo.

You know what, Jack? I’ll work on an article to answer these questions. Probably something short, but it should be helpful.
Thanks for the post. I’ve just ordered the combo for the Premiere; I figure I’ll try out PhotoShop Element as well although I do more LR than PS.
It’s a very good match for LR, then, I’m sure you made a great choice, especially for that price!
I don’t see that deal on B&H’s website?????
You’re a bit too late, Bruce, it was a 24 hour deal :)
im a new for photoshop..i am confused which one to buy, either
Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 10 for Windows or Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 ..can u help me?
If you plan to do some video work (and edit video consequently), you should go for both. However, if your work is limited to photography, I see no point in buying Premiere Elements as you are unlikely to ever use it. :)
Most modern cameras offer video functionality, so keep that in mind – you may find yourself shooting video even if you haven’t before.
Thanks so much….I’ll keep it in mind :)
I am new to any form of editing programs, which program would you recommend? Would mostly be just editing photography, already have a program for videos….thanks so much!!
That depends, Sandra, how advanced the editing would you do? Would it involve manipulation, or just regular tone/color/contrast adjustments? In the first case, Photoshop Elements is a great program to learn. In the other case, you may find Lightroom suitable as well, although it does work best with RAW file format.
