I can’t figure this out…if I have PhotoShop, is there a reason to also get PhotoShop Elements.

Thanks, –bill

No. Elements is a "cut down" version of Photoshop with less functionality.

Bill,

Unless you have Photoshop CS (V 8) there may be a good reason to get Elements (or a third party plugin).

That is the photomerge that Elements but not Photoshop 7 has. But you can copy that action over from your legal edition of Elements and use it in Photoshop 7 (possibly in V 6 as well but I didn’t try that when 6 was on the machine). CS has it built in and it seems to work better.

Bill, who isn’t talking to himself 🙂

The PhotoMerge in CS doesn’t have file size limitation like Elements (or Elements one copied to PS 7), which will choke on files after a certain pixel size…
