Bye Bye to my PS Elements 6

9 months after buying Photoshop Elements 6 from Costco for $50, I got CS4 today for $200 with student discount!! XD

I felt so stupid for not buying it earlier so I could have more fun with it already. The reason I bought it was because I had to work on my Photoshop class final project, and I really didn't want to be in the library for hours to work on it. I downloaded the 30-day trial version of CS4 2 weeks ago, and I found out about the awesome student discount yesterday. My dad said it was fine for me to buy it since I told him it was useful. It's not like I only use PS to make Arashi icons & other graphics, I spend a great deal of time editing family vacation pictures too. My mom was amazed by the stuff I did to edit the pictures, lol. I've been learning to use CS3 this semester and I found out that it is a lot better with more functions than elements. When I first learned CS3, I really thought that I could do most of the same stuff on Elements too. It wasn't until I got to layer masks and found out about coloring that I started wanting to buy CS4 (or CS3 since I thought it'd be cheaper for the older version).

Yup, so up until now, I've been using Elements to make graphics, but now I have CS4 permanently (instead of the trial version, lol) to play around with. ^^

Bye bye, Elements 6! I'll miss using you.

I guess I can always use Elements for editing family photos since CS4 isn't that much better for that job.
