I don't have it myself, but I am certain it can.
Thanks Rich. Elements is $600+ less expensive than Photoshop CS6. Maybe I should take a look at this. Photoshop may be more than I need and most probably more than I can comprehend. Bears some thinking.
Maybe Eric is right and I have some Yorkshire blood. Not sure as my Mother was from St. Helens near Liverpool. Maybe some relative since parting with money is not one of my strong suits.
I did have a look atElements last year and it can do everything you need. I found it a bit slow and clunky compared to Photoshop.
I have been using CS3 since it was released ..and I still haven't outgrown it.
Many of the new features they added to CS4, 5 and 6 are what I would call flavours. That's because you use them for a while, then lose the taste for them and revert to the basic core functions. That's not to say there aren't some nice new features worth using. I do have CS5 on my computer (i skipped CS4) but on balance I still prefer the less complicated, more simplistic interface of CS3. In some ways I find it more responsive doing the basic functions.
So...if you can get hold of a copy of CS3, you would have a lot of capacity for a discounted price.
I had a quick look on Amazon for CS3 and wouldn't you know they spotted your endorsement of CS3 and now it costs MORE than CS6. Odd. Have not looked on ebay and never been very keen on ebay.
