Photoshop question

[popkid]

i'm not about to step into the price debate here, but i will answer the original question.

for starters photoshop elements is a great program for the price. i have the full version of photoshop already, but received elements bundled with a digital camera i purchased. i have both applications installed, and find myself firing up elements every now and then just to do the simple stuff. mind you, that's not saying elements is limited - it is obviously compared to the full version - but it is still incredibly useful, especially for begininners, amauters, and people just starting out who can't afford the full version.

elements will be more than enough to jump start your freelancing, and should fill your wallet with enough duckets to buy the complete version in no time.

hope that helps

ok, now resume the price debate, i'm outta here

oh ps, imagineer99 - for web stuff, dreamweaver is definately the cat's meow, but i have to admit - i use it in tandem with microsoft's frontpage from time to time. frontpage can be a little annoying with adding it's own code to your markup, but a little deleting here and there helps tidy it all up

ok, now my two cents have really been spent...

This is why I'm not too fond of front page. Especially, because some of the code that it adds to your markup can only be read by Internet Explorer. This eliminates a large population of internet users.

Anyways, thanks for the advice.

This thread has become quite a learning experience.

What's your take on the web development software?

I used to use frontpage exclusivly...then moved to dreamweaver. I use GoLive! now because of its seemless photoshop/illustrator integration. As with most other design programs, its not the tools you have, but how good you are at using the ones you have.

I do 90% of the page "Design" in photoshop and then transfer it to golive to do final code etc....its what im used to. Admitingly, i have had a few speed bumps due to a few interface inconsitancies etc...but eh...nothings perfect (every program has flaws)
