Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Any Photoshop Elements Users on Board ?
After working happily for years, my IrfanView seems to be corrupted. Or maybe it's a memory issue ?
When I save a photo that I have worked on - usually crop or rotate - the result takes much
longer to save than before and the resulting colours are posterised.
Anyway,
I'm thinking of buying Photoshop Elements but it's hard to find what exactly it will do. I know it does clever stuff with layers etc but will it do the simple stuff like crop, rotate, resize, correct verticals, red eye eliminate, etc ?

Have you heard of GIMP?
http://www.gimp.org
It's free and actually pretty good. Can certainly do the things you mention, Mark

I might have an older unused windows version you can have if you like. If you're interested I'll check later. Another option for you might Lightroom which both organises and develops. Less sophisticated than PShop but much more intuitive. I use it as my main organising tool. I find I can do most processing with it too. Where I need more, I import from it directly into CS6

I Would suggest looking into Lightroom. While you can do all those things in Elements, it's a lot faster in Lightroom. I now use Lightroom for 99% of my editing, and only break out Elements when I need to do things like composite images or airbrushing.

I have used PS Elements for a few years and found it can cope with anything I have ever needed to do ... All the basics like rotate, resize, crop and enhancing colours and lighting etc. are included - with lots of advice in online communities and in You Tube videos etc Photoshop has a very sophisticated layers system, Plus the latest version has a lot of semi-automated features like re-composing and photo merging. It is also has an excellent facility to handle processing in RAW format.
Adobe allow you to download a fully working - but time-limited - copy for evaluation before buying.
Try this link: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements
Alternatively for basic editing you could try a free online service - like Aviary http://www.aviary.com/about
Good Luck

I have never used Photoshop Elements, but I would strongly recommend Gimp over a watered down version of Photoshop. It does most of what you can do with Photoshop and it is completely free: http://www.gimp.org/ (just in case you haven't come across it).
