Which one??

[itsmedpb]

Hello! I am wondering which program you use and which you suggest? I have:
Adobe Photo Elements 2 and 3
Microsoft Picture It 7
Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7

I have been using Adobe, but now have access to the other two and would love opinions on each. Are they similiar? Ease of use, etc??
thanks!!! :)

Picture It is going to be the easiest to use by far. You can do many wonderful things with it, but it's out of date. It also doesn't make elements well. Using it to do graphic-style pages, typographic word art, and assembling layouts, learning about scrapping, would be great.

IF you want to create your own elements, I recommend PSE 3. It's the most up to date software you have, and is wonderful for creating elements.

IF you want to use brushes to do digital painting for backgrounds and other scrapbook art, then PSP is the way to go.

I teach the Intro to PSE and PSP class, as well as the Creating Elements in PSE class, and we have an Elements in PSP class too. We don't currently teach any DIP/Picture It classes.

So, tell us more about your style and what you'd like to accomplish, and we can help you choose.
