Lol typical eh guys?

Let us know how you both get on with it!

I am using the 30 day free day trial to make sure it is worth the upgrade.

So far my impressions are veering toward the "worth upgrading" route but I must say that content aware feature is very good but it not infallible and can give some "interesting" results.

The new selections options are good but not intuitive so I had to watch some videos on Lynda.com to learn how they are used.

Some of the new features can save you a fair bit of time.

Getting rid of the red lead in the picture below was a 5 second job with content aware turned on. Just a matter of selecting spot healing tool and making the brush just a little wider than the lead and then just paint down along the lead. Done.

Just tidy up where the lead went through Trudi's hand and that was it.

Looks like shouting at customer services works!! just installed and I'm a painting at the minute!!!

That's pretty well done Steve! Also I like the photo too - what lovely colour

Nice one Ste - look forward to seeing your work with it.

This took less than a minute with the content aware fill and healing brush:

I might download the demo just to have a play!

Hehe! Mines here!! xx

I'm worried that if I get the trial it will just make me want it all the more! I am guessing it might be slightly better than my PSE6???

All depends on what you want, unless you are gonna do heavy edits involving many layers and composites I'd say that it's not worth it.

I used elements till recently and only moved up as I was at the limit of what I wanted to do with it, layer masks and print profiles were more important and these are the things that full 'shop allows over elements.
