I'm not really new... but I've been away for a couple years. Life happened... about a year before the shutdowns here, I started working part time. That turned into full time and well, I didn't have as much time to scrap. I'm hoping to make it a priority again...

I got a Windows 10S laptop for Christmas, and hubby does not want me to take it out of S mode. On this desktop I have Photoshop Elements 7, but it is uncomfortable to sit here, and I really want to use my laptop for scrapping... can you recommend a program that is 10S compatible for scrapping? One that is not too expensive. Thank you!

Hi Kairyn! :peekin

Long time, no see... glad you're back!

I had to go look up what windows 10s was. :think It looks like it's supposed to be faster and more secure, but unfortunately, it limits you to only be able to install software from the Microsoft store. You could switch out of s mode to install PSE, but it doesn't let you switch back... darn.

Sorry I don't think Photoshop or PSE is available in the ms store. I did a quick search of microsoft store and scrapbooking and came up with scrapbook and photo collage. It's $3.99 and has a free trial. HTH

I hadn't heard of 10S but did a little Googling and learned that you can only use apps from the Windows Store. Photoshop Elements 2021 is available there. Would that work? It's $99 and has a free trial. :-)

Good eye Kim, seeing PSE 2021! I was just searching for scrapbooking and didn't think to type in photoshop elements.

Thank you, Cynthia & Kayla! I've missed the feeling of family here and I'm excited to jump back in!
I will probably have to drop the $99 on Elements 2021. :hummm But on the upside... maybe it has more features than my old Elements 7 :D

Yes, the PSE 2021 has lots of new features. You'll love it! Holler if you need any help with it. It has a new interface from PSE 7. It changed with PSE11. It makes installing actions and styles a breeze. :agree

@KairynLisa I just saw a post from @3BluEyedBabies that uses GIMP, which, if I m not mistaken, is free and has a lot of what PS is supposed to have..... there is also @navaja77 who used to use out, they may be able to give you more info.... in case you want to save the money :)

Welcome back @KairynLisa! I think we haven't officially met here on TLP? I was away for a few years too and have only been back last year.
 
Bart's not new here. Here's been around The Pad for a while! :)
