I don't have it myself, but I am certain it can.
Thanks Rich. Elements is $600+ less expensive than Photoshop CS6. Maybe I should take a look at this. Photoshop may be more than I need and most probably more than I can comprehend. Bears some thinking.
Maybe Eric is right and I have some Yorkshire blood. Not sure as my Mother was from St. Helens near Liverpool. Maybe some relative since parting with money is not one of my strong suits.
I did have a look atElements last year and it can do everything you need. I found it a bit slow and clunky compared to Photoshop.
I have been using CS3 since it was released ..and I still haven't outgrown it.
Many of the new features they added to CS4, 5 and 6 are what I would call flavours. That's because you use them for a while, then lose the taste for them and revert to the basic core functions. That's not to say there aren't some nice new features worth using. I do have CS5 on my computer (i skipped CS4) but on balance I still prefer the less complicated, more simplistic interface of CS3. In some ways I find it more responsive doing the basic functions.
So...if you can get hold of a copy of CS3, you would have a lot of capacity for a discounted price.
