i thought elements was like ps for idiots.. i got ps7 but never used it looked too complicate

I guess it doesn't really tell you whats done, just shows the different looks of them all.

That top layer is a High Pass Filter set to softlight. That is where most of the tone came back.

It's one newer then the version I have :lol
It's your photo, all broken up.

photo not broken up. just 4 layers

More like "PS - Lite".

It does almost everything that the full PS does.

Turn off all the layers except the top one. Is just the kids, no background, ghosting, and gray?

Does anyone else see the irony in this post?

i got ps7 first and had never seen any editing software before...it scared the pants off me...then i looked at elements and it looked simpler ..so stuck with it

Here is my take, although not really any different than what others have done already.

is it any good...

Yes.

It will do 98% of anything you will need to do.

I'd say more like 80% but.....

I agree though - and I guess I'm one of the 'bad' ones.

To be fair though, we were all working with a small JPG...

...And I didn't really spend much time on it. :meh:
