I have worked with Adobe Photoshop full suite and Photoshop Elements in the past. I was able to create anything I wanted with photos and artwork combined. I published books and book covers with what I was able to do. Because I have a Mac Air now, I bought Adobe Photoshop Premiere Elements and Photoshop Premiere Elements combined, thinking I could continue my work. What I have run into, is that I can't even get two photos into the software at once. The software seems to only want to make collages and edit pictures. When I look up what to buy, I run into paying by the month for the rest of my life for software that seems not to be like the old Photoshop. What do I need?

    Hi,

    I'm not a MAC person but I think the following still applies.

    Adobe Photoshop Elements is mainly for still photos & images

    Adobe Premiere Elements is mainly for video work

    Both use the same organizer

    Are you having problems getting more than one image at a time into the organizer or the editor?

    If you can't open more than one image in the editor, go to the Edit menu and select Preferences -> General

    Check the option Allow Floating Documents in Expert Mode and click on ok

    Next make sure you switch to Expert mode (see near the top centre)

    You should be able to open more than ine file and move the windows around

    Thanks for replying. I did what you suggested and it worked. However, I need something more than the software I now have and will try to find out what will work better for me. Thanks again.

    Hi,

    The Elements editor has quite a few options (in expert mode) what type of thing were you looking for? Someone here may be able to help find the equivalent tool.

    It can enhance photos and can copy parts of one image to another. Obviously it doesn't have the full range like the full blown Photoshop.

    Hi again, just a further question.

    Thanks for your reply. I don't know what you mean by expert mode.
