Hi Chris,

Photoshop Elements isn’t a good choice for professional printing–there’s no CMYK conversion. Though if you were to use Elements as a companion to an older version of Photoshop, you could do much of your imaging in Elements (such as working with RAW files), then do your print prep in Photoshop.

destinycreature, Photoshop-with-a-lot-fewer-features is a good description of Elements–and I find that many folks don’t really need the features Elements is missing anyway. It’s not for print designers, but a great app for digital photographers and even some Web designers.

Best,
Tara

I’d glad for the review. I didn’t know much about Photoshop elements. All I knew is that it had a lot less features from Photoshop at a reduced cost. I’ve seen Corel draw in action - but never worked with it cause the interface confuses me and I feel more comfortable in Illustrator. Looking out to see more info on Corel Draw in your next post

Thanks, an interesting point to consider. What features does this have in terms of professionally printing documents? Can you set bleeds and change from RBG to CMYK?
