Oh wow - so the price has gone up since this morning, I was afraid of that.   Still I guess with the $10 GC it’s only $59.00.   I’ll keep watch on it.

Hi Marilyn, I just saw your post…don’t know if this helps but this is what some of the upgrades are and what I thought about them. I have been using PSE 2020 for about two months. I upgraded after I got my laptop back in October. So far, no problems with my system or any upgrades from Microsoft since I installed it.

GUIDED MODE Upgrades

BASICS - OBJECT REMOVAL

I found this easy to use and required less steps than earlier versions.

FUN EDITS - PATTERN BRUSH

This is a fun new edit that might catch your eye.

SPECIAL EDITS - PERFECT PORTRAIT

If you do a lot of portrait work, this feature alone might be worth the upgrade.

EXPERT MODE Upgrades

FILE - ORDER PRINTS - FUJIFILM Prints & Gifts

You can place an order for prints straight from inside Elements.

ENHANCE - COLORIZE PHOTO

If you have a lot of black and white photos and you just want to quickly add color and you are not picky about accuracy, this would be a great feature.

ENHANCE - SMOOTH SKIN

This new feature is probably my favorite. It is accurate, and it can save you time.

SELECT - SUBJECT

You can achieve the same results in earlier versions.

Linda, thanks SO much for typing this all out and sharing such great information, it’s very helpful!  It sounds like PSE 20 is good and I’m happy to hear you haven’t had any problems and although I have a Mac, but hopefully that won’t be an issue.    I’m glad to know you have this version for when I start to install and use it.  Last time I upgraded Jody walked me through the whole thing, I might call on you for advice when I decide to install.      THANKS again!   

W H A T ? ?

OMG yes it is scary. I hope it's as easy as I think it's going to be...LOL.

Yes it is scary ? Thankfully I've done most of my shopping while it was cooler so now I can get out in the sunshine while it lasts  

Thank you for the reminder!

We'll miss you! 

I remember Hoosier Hysteria!  Say hello to Bloomington for me!

I missed it too. I took 3 of my DGS(s) to Fall Fun day at our park. I think it's always the same day as DSD.

Marilyn, pleased to read that you enjoyed the wedding and are safely back home again.

lovely photo and looks like you had nice weather as well. Glad your trip trip home went well. It will certainly be a memory to scrap in more ways than one  

Just seen this. What a horrid way to start you so anticipated weekend. At least you enjoyed the wedding & travelled home safely.

I DID love Ngaire and Dave and we talked about you Jane and how I hoped one day to visit New Zealand and both of you and to meet you one day.  I sure hope to see you here, that would be awesome!

You can come and stay with us anytime Marilyn, your bedroom is waiting   the North and South Island are very different so it will feel like you have been on two very different holidays  

THANK, you Jane!   Ngaire did say that you each lived North/South but I didn’t realize it was so different!  

How exciting for you Marilyn. I really really enjoyed the day Ken and I had with Ngaire and Dave.... we all wished it would go on longer than it did.

I love to chat!  We are chatty, right Conda?   And imagine being able to win a prize for chatting?!!!   

I am not feeling very chatty right now ... starting to feel a little tired as I should be heading to bed which I am about to do.   Have fun while I am sleeping zzzzzzzz

Hee hee, G’nite Anne Marie!  But you can chat or LSL while we are sleeping!  Have a good rest.... 

Thank you guys!  I had a low-key birthday, spent time with my family, plus Karlie had a couple of girls over for a sleepover last night.  I ate too much good food, to include cake, pasta carbonara, and garlic bread, made by DH - yum!

Happy Birthday and glad you got to eat something yummy too!

Sounds like a yummy and lovely day with the most important people!   

Hey, Marilyn, there is hope. We were above freezing today and will be during the day for the weekend. Of course, it's windy, cloudy and going to storm, but we will take what we can get!!! I sure hope you can retire you shovel for the season!

Still hot as Hades over here. Keep warm everyone.

Man, sure wish we could send some heat and some cold either way, Laraine!
And, thanks Betty for the hope!  I see now we are supposed to get warmer too, whew; although like you rainy and dreary.  oh well......  

So glad you got to see it all, even if the feed wasn't always great. I can't wait to see pics!!

How amazing. Adding my congrats. Happy you were able to participate!

That's the way to attend a wedding!  Although it would have been nice to go all the way to Israel!

So sorry!

I miss her too, and thank you reminding us.

Time goes by so quickly, she was a wonderful soul who created such beautiful memories with her scrapbook pages .

Yippe I see you got it back...let the fun begin.

Yes!  It’s B-ack!    I just have to get used to some new things since it was updated to Mohave OS.   And of course there’s always some glitches, but I’m happy it’s in my hands again.  

Happy Scrapping!

That sounds like torture!  For you, not being able to scrap, not for your computer.  Well, for your computer, too!  ?

And to you, too, Marilyn!

Does the December 1 weekend challenge about weather count?

I don't think so, I think the Monthly Contest is the Christmas themed challenges only.

Yes, Carla is correct.   There are 6 Holiday Challenges along with another one on the 25th which will make 7 Holiday challenges, but you need only to complete 6 by Dec 28th to be eligible for the $20 GC.

so sorry, how frustrating!

Thanks everyone, I couldn’t remember most of it and I’m too tired to look more.  But, I did get a few things.  I know that as soon as it’s tomorrow I’ll remember the item I HAD to have that I forgot to buy!  

Ack!!! I sure hope you remember what you wanted to buy!

I'm so sorry I missed this chat, I got back from grocery shopping in plenty time and my pc decided not to work, just would not power up. However, fiddled about with the connection and left it for a little while and presto... now i don't trust it. 

Awwww.... So sorry Marie and we missed you.  

What a fun chat. Thank you so much Marilyn for the fun morning.
