[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have been playing with Photoshop LE 4.0 for several months. Last week I actually printed out the PDF manual from disk so I'd have a hard copy to read. So wouldn't you know it, I just got a copy of Photoshop LE version 5.0 with the Wacom Graphire pen and tablet I just bought. Does anyone have a "differences between version 4 and version 5" document they could email me? Are versions 4 and 5 sufficiently different that I would need to print the newer manual? I plan to use Photoshop mostly with "Nathan's self-imposed limits"--to do digitally only what I could do in a wet darkroom, plus unsharp mask. LE seems fine for my needs. The only thing I *really* wish I had from the full version is multi-level undo, and even that can be worked around by making "CYA" TIFF copies between commands. Has anyone tried "Photoshop Elements" yet? It seems to be Adobe's marketing equivalent of a "6 LE," but targeted at the beginner to intermediate-level amateur and digital camera snapper. Easier to use, more automated, and a lot of help popups and so-called "creative" gimmicks. Perhaps Adobe was concerned that they were giving away the $600 store with $99 Limited Edition!
