CS4. It’s a brilliant, all-encompassing piece of software.

It’s very expensive to get if you know nothing about it, though!

I would like to know for someone who has a knowledge and experience using these programs. I want to edit sound from my camera and add some effects like reverb, bass, normalization, chorus etc.

I heard cs4 is more powerful in audio effects, but really don’t which one to choose.

Thanks.

Adobe programs are those that all others are judged by.

They are the same. The shortcut keys are slightly different.

Elements does not have 95% of what CS4 has. It is a very basic photo editor.

Which one is better, GIMP or Photoshop Elements 6.0?

I bought a tablet and it came with Photoshop Elements 6.0. I started using that to work on my art.

Now I have heard that GIMP is better. Should I switch to GIMP or stick with Photoshop Elements 6.0? Which one is easier to use? Which one is easier to find brushes for, o can I use my old brushes on GIMP as well?

I do not have the money to go buy an upgrade on Photoshop Elements so don’t post that, please.
Sorry. It is Photoshop Elements 5.0, not 6.0.
Sorry for the typo.
