Digital BW, The Print

Paul & Steve,

Photoshop Elements 3 is now available, with a lot more stuff from CS 
incorporated into it. For example it now has Camera Raw conversions, the 
Highlight/Shadow sliders, Healing brush, 16bit on most items, etc. You can 
upgrade from 2, so if you get a freebie copy of 2, it will just cost you the 
upgrade price. Well worth it, as it has most of what normal photographers 
want. No CMYK, so not suitable for pro press work.

While Photoshop is the king of image editors, other alternatives might be
Photoshop Elements or Picture Windows.  I noticed Elements 2 ships with
1280s.  So, I suspect a number of people on the list have them sitting
around un-opened.  What it lacks is curves, but it does take layers.
Picture Windows has curves but lacks layers.  It's a $50 download from
Digital Light and Color for the 8 bit version.\

I thought PS 7 was a dog.  I use CS or PS 6.  However, all of these are
upgrades and won't load without a pre-existing full PS.  Between that and
licensing problems, it may be hard to find a full PS7 at a great price.
