Create a Calendar

[Geof W]

I want to create a Photo Calendar to take as gifts to my hosts in China. All the tutorials direct me to Photoshop Elements. I have PSCC. Is Elements not included? Or do I have to purchase that separately?

Thanks

Elemnts are a separate product tier aimed at hobbyists, not pros. You have to pay extra if you want to use the automated layout stuff. Nothing stops you from creating a custom calendar in PS or using someone's template, though. I believe there's even scripts out there that can dynamically generate all the numbers. Likewise, within the whole suite of Adobe products, there's a million ways to produce calendars using similar methods e.g. in InDesign. There's just no dedicated calendar assistant in any of those programs like you have in Excel, Word or for that matter PS Elements...

Thanks, JJMack... I appreciate the suggestion, I will check that out. Every time I searched for "Calendar Creation in Photoshop" it defaulted to the Photoshop Elements page.

Thank you... That looks like something I can work with for what I need.

I'd suggest combining Photoshop and InDesign for this one.  Use PS to create all of your artowrk and the InDesign Calendard Wizard by Scott Selbert for the page layout.
