650806 2008-03-19 07:44:00 Am currently trialling Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 for one month from the PC World DVD. Previously I have downloaded and/or edited using Irfanview; Picasa 2; Lumix Photofunstudio view; Canon somethink. As I understand it the basic file as you have named it and stored it will still be available etc no matter which program you use to view or edit it in. So that if, as probable, I do not purchase PE 6, but instead buy Adobe Lightroom, then there is no problem with the file as named and edited. Will still be available with the changes etc. ?

Is my thinking correct please ? Are there any points to be careful of ?

650807 2008-03-19 08:18:00 It is my understanding that Adobe Light Room serves a different purpose than Photoshop.

Are you wanting an app just for viewing photos or for editing them as well?

For the record, Light Room is reported as being an excellent application.

Imagine it being called Photoshop Essentials (which would have made more sense...)

650811 2008-03-20 03:11:00 Rather its a product designed for people who have no idea how to go about what they want to do, Calling it a cut down version of Photoshop is not a good description.

Imo it is worth buying for many people.

Anyhow, None of which has anything to do with the original question.

The adobe products should be capable of opening there own properity formats, PSD, PDD But its really only used on a work in progress, You should save any finished image in a standard format to ensure you can open it in the future.
