I've never tried Picture It so I can't comment. What scanner are you using? >Now I am thinking of moving to Photoshop 7. >What is the memory requirement for it ?

It'll be a little slow with 16-bit images but it'll work. (It helps that PS7 won't let you have multiple layers when you're in 16-bit mode!) 512 Meg to 1 Gig would be better but you'll probably see big improvements with a faster hard drive, too. I just upgraded to a 7200 rpm UDMA-100 drive (from a 5400 rpm unit) and the improvement was remarkable. >Do I have to move to other machine for memory or 512 MB would be enough ? 512 should be fine. That's what I'm using. >Other point is I am not professional photographer, however, like to play >with these tools. >Would PhotoShop Elements be suffiient ? Don't know. Never used it. I think it's mainly lacking in things like tools for working in 16-bit color. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
