How to remove people, cars, etc. in Photoshop.

[Thlayle]

I am glad that Adobe is so expensive so when I started it was quoted at over a thousand local dollars while PSP was around $300 and I was guided to a comparable, superior in ways, product*. From a brief glimpse of GIMP I do not think it is a comparable product. I regret that the founder[s] of PSP JASC sold out since I do not think the 'service' I get from Corel is as good as that I got from JASC. My current problem of getting a DVD but no key to open it and several e-mails getting lost in their system kind of puts me off what is a very good product. But really there is so little 'improvement' possible with these programmes that it is questionable as if getting 'upgrades' is worth the effort.

*Over the years I have had a couple of versions of Photoshop and believe that if you start with one you are unlikely to meld with the other

I used PSP for a long time and really liked it. Going from a Windows environment to a Macbook forced that issue for me.

I liked PSP much better when it was still owned by Jasc. But the direction it took later, more emphasis on photography and less on HTML, probably would have happened no matter what. Besides, that was how it for me in the long run: more into the photography side of things.

Of course, when I started with PSP it was still a shareware product.

Hi, I did not say that ' GIMP is a comparable product'. I use CS6 (not extended) and was just stating how a free program like GIMP can offer you the option to stack filters with the MEDIAN option but if you want this same option from Adobe you have to buy the extended version or the Adobe CC, and there is no way that Adobe lets you upgrade from CS6 to CS6 extended you have to buy the extended version at the full price and from what I have searched out all you need is a differant activation number to turn CS6 basic into CS6 extended. Thanks. Russ

Sorry Russell that you think I infered that as it was merely a feeling I have about the programme. A lot depends on your approach to editing and to what degree you want to be able to use it occasionally if not for everything. I rate PSP and PS as comparable if different products with nothing matching them though excellent in specific directions.
