I have just recently decided to start digiscrapping. I'm living in Germany and mail is impossible. So, which is better, Image Suite or Photoshop? I want freedom and versatility, something that will grow with me. I'm in Europe now...lots of pictures to be taken and LOs to create!

I have only used Photoshop Element 3 and 5. Can highly recommend either of those.

I used Microsoft's Digital Image Suite for a year or so, but did outgrow it. I loved it and it is very easy to use. There are a lot of limitations though ifyou are really looking to grow into this hobby. There are so many wonderful things that you can do with Photoshop and all of the products that work so well with Photoshop, I would say that if you are going to start out with something new go with Photoshop.

Happy Scrapping,

Oh, and welcome to ScrapGirls! Digiscrapping is the way to go if you have lots of digi pics! There are a lot of tutorials in the SG University, and a free e-book that will get you started in digiscrapping.

Hi there Pireps, just wanted to say :welcome2:

to ScrapGirls!

Photoshop is awesome!

To have a friend is to have a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold and an extra pair of legs when yours are too weak to stand alone...

I have been living buried in books and writing classes... as an added note I must say that it is rather scary when you start dreaming and all you can see within your dreams is words floating everywhere!
