Tasha Young Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Do you "have" to have Photoshop to design or can Elements be used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaFace Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 certainly not! a lot of scrappers choose elements because of the price. its a great piece of software, and almost everything tut out there meant for photoshop can be adapted easily to elements.

satippetts Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I did quite a bit of designing in PSE 2.0 before I could afford to get photoshop, so you definately can. There are a few limitations that you can run into, but you can also work around them too. Some of the limitations you'll have are realistic shadows and advanced options in styles, which are both very useful in creating realistic stuff. But you can get around it too, by purchasing commercial use styles from the boutique, that will let you create all the great dimensional looks like metals etc that you can create in photoshop and be able to apply them in Elements. You won't be able to adjust the settings on them, but they can really help you make realistic embells when using PSE. So you definately can!
