Windows 10 has corrupted my PSE 9 program so I guess it is time for an upgrade. Any experience with PSE 15? Better to download or buy the CD? Thanks!
Either way, CD or download will work. You could download the trial and see how you like it. Or you could just uninstall and then reinstall 9.
@quietgirl Here is the compare chart. There have been upgrades since 9. I think you will like it. http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements/buying-guide.html
Kayla, Thank you. I did uninstall and reload PSR 9. It still didn't work. There was much chatter online about this issue. From what I could see, the "fix" (if it worked at all) was extremely complicated. Unfortunately, I am not a computer pro!!! I appreciate your help. Thanks for the encouragement, Christa!
I say go for it... If you have the # from 9 you may be able to purchase the upgrade which tends to be cheaper. Also this way you know it will work with windows 10. I have PSE15 on my laptop even though I subscribe to PS CC for the $10 a month. If I am ever in a bind or decide I no longer want to subscribe to CC then I will have a great version of PSE on my lap top!
@quietgirl here is another link with info on the enhancements to PSE15 http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-premiere-elements/features.html
Her shadows that say they are for Creative Cloud don't work with Elements but I think everything else does.
I would like to try Mommyish Styles but I have never been able to install any styles on my computer. It has now been many years since I tried it. Are they still hard to install? Do her Styles come with good instructions for those of us who are NOT computer geniuses?
FYI, I did download the trial version of PSR 15 just to see if my computer could accept it. It works so now my brain has to WORK to go from Version 9 to Version 15! Wow!
@quietgirl - Yes Mommyish's styles are able to be used in PSE 15 except fo the ones that specifically state CC use only (PS Creative Cloud, as in Creative Cloud, you can have more than one of the same style applied to an object and that is not available in PSE versions. All but I think the shadows one of Mommyish should work.] She also does give installation instructions but Installing styles and actions in PSE 15 is so easy!.. MUCH easier than they used to be. Here is the step by step screen shots I just did for you adding Fiddle Dee Dees shadow styles . Make sure you are on Expert at the top of the screen. Let me know if you need more help but it is super easy! To delete just choose the preset manager from that same dropdown, look for the name of the style you loaded and click delete. Hope this helps!
@quietgirl - yes Christa is correct. Adobe changed the interface in PSE 11 and installing actions and styles became easier... Yay! Glad you got 15 working on your pc. Let us know if you have any more questions.
Many thanks to all. Christa, that tutorial for Styles looks great. I will be eager to try when I get home from my latest trip.
