I’m a rank beginner to image editing — zero experience — but have been a tech hound for many years and am very comfortable with the standard Windows interfaces and am a quick study. I’m looking for a graphical editor that I can use to create some GUI elements for a web site I have just started building. The HTML, ASP and SQL Server back end are all cake — the graphics are anything but. I’d like to be able to create a logo — text over a background image, along with some navigation tab images, to start. I’m confident that there will be other, relatively basic needs that I’ll realize I have along the way, but for the most part I just need the capbility to do a sharp logo along with a few other, color-coordinated page elements.
Is Photoshop Elements a good choice for me ? I checked in with Adobe.com and it seems more like a digital photo editor than anything else, although perhaps the needs I mentioned above are within its realm. If PE isn’t a good choice, would anyone care to offer any alternatives ? I’d rather not spend a month learning to use it either — an intuitive, uncomplicated GUI with the tools to create and manipulate easily would be just the ticket. Thoughts ?
Thanks all,
Rick
