Hi everyone.
I am a newbie trying to get into scrapping both paper and digital. I am not able to afford photoshop but was wondering if you can tell me whether elements 3 would be enough to do digital scrapping as well as touching up red eye, blurring etc in photos before printing.
Is elements a stand alone programme. Many thanks for your advice and help.

Hi guys. sorry just realised that this questioned has been asked further down the thread.
Can u tell me though. Is PSE3 and CS elements the same thing.

I have never heard of CS Elements. I know that PS CS2 is due to be released come May but this is an upgrade for PS, not Elements. I have PS CS but from everything I have read PSE3 is a wonderful program and many fantastic scrappers on this site use it.

I have PSE3 and LOVE it. I hated it a month ago when I first got it, but now the possibilities are endless. From fixing and editing pics to scrapping. I use nothing else! After spending the money (I paid $120 for a special package of PSE3 and Premiere Elements), I found out that DH had Paint shop on his PC. I could have killed him!
