Title: Photo editing?
Post by: elkoholic on July 27, 2011, 06:34:57 AM: Can anyone tell me how to edit the guy out of this photo. I love this pic but didnt notice the guy in the background until I moved the picture from my camera to the computer...

Warning: it's addictive. You can do much with photos to improve them: remove objects, insert objectives, change color balance (warm up like below), crop, and so forth.

Very true! For the average user who is just editing a few quick photos here and there, or building simple graphics this is a great program to use. They are on Elements 9 now and have added some great features from previous versions. I have the new Photoshop CS5.1 extended version, and for a beginner or someone who doens't understand it, it could be quite overwhelming and frustrating to use so I would shy away from that program in the beginning stages. I have used Elements for a long time and I would recommend that product to anyone on the site looking for a good quality program to edit your photos in or someone wanting to learn how to edit photos or build simple graphics.
