Affinity Photo is on the Black Friday sale and Corel PaintShop Pro 2021 is on Humble Bundles for $30 including Corel Painter 2021, AfterShot Pro 3, and so on. While I may consider a CC subscription in the future, I find it hard to justify a monthly expenditure for something that I don't use a LOT every month, and mostly for stupid internet stuff.Ĭurrently, both are on sale.
I'm sure most folks in this sub use "real" Photoshop, but hopefully someone can tell me what to expect from Elements.
But haven't found a real detailed breakdown of what's included and what's not. Read some reviews that say Elements has come a long way since the early versions, and it does have advanced tools, beyond just the My First Photoshop newbie-friendly stuff. I figure that's like 5 months of Photoshop CC subscription, and I get to keep it as long as I want, so it can't hurt to try. Found Photoshop Elements 13 on Amazon for $50 (after Prime discount). So I figure instead of upgrading to another version of Corel, I'll try Photoshop. Lately PHOTO-PAINT has been nearly unusable, crashing all the time for no apparent reason. And I use it for more than just crop/resize/red eye/add text. So while I'm not a professional, and most of my use is for the web (twitter, tumblr, facebook, forums, etc.), I do have some experience with PHOTO-PAINT. (Occasionally Irfanview and Paint.Net.) Before that, I used DRAW Suite 10, and before that, DRAW Suite 8. So I currently have CorelDRAW Suite X5 Home & Student, and use PHOTO-PAINT for most of my image editing needs. TL DR - Can anyone tell me what features I'm losing/gaining moving from Corel PHOTO-PAINT to Photoshop Elements 13? And is there a detailed chart somewhere showing everything that's in Photoshop CC that's not in the latest Elements? (More than just a high level, vague description.)
