Bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 8

Yesterday I bought a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 for around $100. at the local Office Depot. I thought I would try it out and get used to Photoshop before possibly buying the more professional version of Adobe Photoshop CS5 that is supposed to come out in April of 2010 or so. I finally got it installed last night and played around with a few illustrations. I liked how it seemed to work better than the older program I have. There is a definite learning curve switching from Corel Paint Shop Pro X. Tonight I will learn with the tutorials to start learning all the wonderful editing features available. In this new version they even have a face recognition feature that is pretty cool. They have a lot more than that I will learn about over the next few months. Along with Photoshop Elements 8 I also picked up the book Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 for Dummies. Just started reading it last night a little bit.
