I hate the bundled imaging software that came with my Pacific Image PrimeFilm scanner. I've been thinking about getting Photoshop Elements, and need some help. Can anyone here (especially anyone who uses the PrimeFilm and PE) give advice on your satisfaction? Are there other programs I should

Hi Chris, I've used Elements with the PrimeFilm Scanner and it works just fine. I do have to be honest and say that I haven't used Elements too much since I do have Photoshop but tried it out of curiosity and acquiring was just as smooth as Photoshop. I believe there is currently a rebate

Chris, I use the latest version of Paint Shop Pro for my digital darkroom work. It is a very full-featured program. Steve's Digicams says that it is ...a close second to PhotoShop [the full version, not elements] in power and popularity as a photo editing tool with plugin support. Here is

Chris, You should also look at Paintshop Pro (www.jasc.com). I have tried just about everything, including elements and feel that for general photo editing, it works very well. It doesn't have quite the graphic artist manipulation capabilities of Photoshop (full version), but is only $100

Yup, that's the one. Cheesy is a very kind way to describe the package. Yes, it does the job, but I'm quite certain it can be done better, and without leaving my fingers greasy after use. The scanner is competent, if noisy and a bit slow, but it does exactly what I want it to do (at least, for
