I have PhotoShop Elements 4 now, and I want to know how to get the pictures/backgrounds that you all have on yours. I know how to get them in there, but how do you get it with those special effects. Take TikiRoom's for example, how did they get the border and the fading between each picture?

It's not as easy as it seems. I would recommend Photoshop for people who have already had experience with graphic art. And you can only animate with ImageReady. I'm not sure how to use elements, since I only use Photoshop CS2 and ImageReady. I suggest looking up photoshop tutorials on google.

Ok. I have Photoshop CS2 on my tablet, as a trial. I LOVE ImageReady, but the trial expired yesterday. I will try doing that. I am pretty good with graphic art, but I usually use Paint Shop and Ulead GIF Animator.

I have cs2 and imageready but have no idea whatsoever how to use them

Did you buy the entire CS2? I don't think it is worth that much money. I am thinking about just buying ImageReady and PhotoShop separately. I am not, however, going to buy the entire CS2 (Adobe Acrobat Professional, InDesign, Adobe Bridge, Adobe Distiller, and so on).

element is easy just lowest version Photoshop and its wayyyyyy more better then Paintshop as in being organized and being able to do more in my opinion, I had PSP and ah bad experinces until I met Photoshop...
