Downgrading back to PSE

[littlekiwi]

Has anyone downgraded from PSCS back to PSE, my copy of photoshop is giving me major fits, I can't afford to upgrade to CC but have a copy of PSE 6. If you have downgraded, is there much you have missed from CS? I am not a prolific scrapper by any means and am not terribly creative to be honest so I probably only ever used about 1/4 or PSCS's tools and capabilities anyway.

I haven't ever used PSE, so I haven't had to downgrade, but my guess is that if you started with PSE, you probably won't have too much trouble going back to it. Good luck!

It really depends on what you rely on from PS, and how ready you are to learn a new program, probably.

I took a class to learn PS CS5, but never owned it myself... i used the school's version to do my school work, and then had to transition back to my own version of PSE (I was using 4 at the time). I wasn't overly active using it before, so I can't truly comment on how it would be. More recently, I learned GIMP on my laptop from about April till July ish, then transitioned back to PSE (12) since. Knowing ahead of time that there are differences between them may help save your sanity but it will not alleviate any learning curves. Each program has its quirks.
