Just bought Elements 10

As the title really bought it this morning can't wait to get home after work and try it out. What are people's thoughts?

I use 8. Have to say though that since I purchased Lightroom I hardly ever use it ....

I use Elements 9 so cannot comment on 10.

Like all Elements packages, it does what it (doesn't) say on the box, no great surprises, just very efficient.

Over the years, I have used PS less and less - most PP is in Lightroom now.

But I snapped up PSE 10 at a bargain price and it does most of what I ask it to do. I don't like Adobe for any HDR/tone-mapping, but otherwise I will use it for just about anything else, including auto-stitching.

I find it much easier to use than "Full" Photoshop of old, fairly intuitive to use, and pretty good results from not too much effort.

But I paid sub-£30 (Amazon deal) and at that price it'd be rude not to!

With the rate all software has come down it's worth paying a few bob for stuff that works for you!

And there's a wealth of "how-to" sites and YouToob stuff if you need to know anything!
