I have Carrara (V1; haven't upgraded yet) and just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements (or APE). APE has some of the functionality of Photoshop, at a much more sensible price?at least as far as I am concerned. They are the main programs that I intend to use for computer aided work. By the way, what did you do? I am sure there isn't a direct translation from APE to Photoshop, but they share more in common than they differ (differences, based upon what I have heard, are more in the realm of options and advanced capabilites-I cannot for myself say what those 'capabilities' are because my experience with Photoshop is virtually nil, while my experience with APE is slightly more?but growing.
