    have any of you heard about this photo editing software?
    There are lots of adverts around, and a sample for free download, the price is reasonable and works in both PC and Mac.... but I am kinda reluctant to download ... I'm always paranoid it can be a scam and my computer will be infected or something ... (LOL I know paranoid? nahhh but as Curt Kobain said: just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not after you!!!!!!!!

    It is around 50/70 US $$ and mentions mostly just photo so not sure. I would try PSE with the older version you have and then if you like PSE invest in the most current version Cynthia.. Hugs

    Thanks Justine!!!! will look at it!!!!

    Christa, wasn't thinking about for scrapping, more for actual photo editing because it is like PShop for dummies, especially for extractions and correcting unwanted blur.... it looks like it could be true (especially because two years ago I read in a tech magazine that there was a guy who created a 1 click blur correction but wasn't releasing it yet...thing is, I saw an advert on yahoo, which has TONS of adverts of something called MacKeeper which allegedly would be to clean your Mac but is not true, thing is, if you click, even just to look closer at the description, it downloads the software and it is hugely difficult to get rid of it, so I thought I ask here before I click on anything... I did see it is 49.99 cant remember if Dollars or Pounds, but as I am so suspicious of yahoo, I didn't even click in the advert LOL

    @MrsPeel Cynthia,

    I don't know anything about Pixio, but I did learn a little bit about a free photo editor from Sean, projectlifeappdude, at Digi Night Out a few weeks ago. It's called photopea.com and he says it's similar to Photoshop. Here's a link to a blog post he made about using it with the project life app that might help you decide if you'd like to try it.

    Dude. He could have saved so much time just putting his photos on a canvas in PSE or PSCC! LOL I suppose it's OK if all you are used to is a phone app, but I would just go with PSE to start with. It's SO affordable these days, and very powerful to allow you to make beautiful pages in one program instead of having to do all the switching around he was doing.

    @MrsPeel I'm with Christa on this. I would go straight for PSE for the amount of money.

    You know I didn't want this for scrapping, right?
    Because of my neurological issues are getting worse by the minute, I thought this would be easy because they have extractions done with one click, same for eliminating blur....
    anyway, it is very new and I don't trust very new LOL so yes, back to try learning PSE!!!!!
    oh how I missed you!!!!!

    Cynthia, PSE can do the extractions as well too. Cheryl @gonewiththewind and I can help out with the PSE... we both also have videos to help you too!!! Check the PSE section re what it can do re photos... try out the PSE free trial .. the link below is the PSE 2020 that was just released but this is where they have videos where you can see what PSE can do (only a few things are shown of the MANY things PSE can do for photos.)

    I know, I have done extraxtions on PSE before, but it isnt one click........ these people claim to be a 1 click thing... my program also has a good extractor, easier than PSE actually, to understand what I want and why.. I would have to go into the state of my health and we DO NOT wanna get depressed :rofl:rofl:rofl

    LOVE YOU!!!!!
