I have Photoshop elements but it is lacking in some advanced tools etc. I want to get stuck into the phot restoration stuff so what would be the next step towards a fully featured package? Does anyone have any particular favourite or a particular dislike?
Thanks

I use Paintshop Pro
And a free one off web

I have photoshop cs3 with loads of filters/plugins. I also have Serif photoplus x3.

I use Photoshop 7, but I also have Serif Photoplus 6.
Those with all the advanced tools are very expensive!!!
Most graphics packages, even some free ones, will be enough to do photo restoration.

I don't seem to have "quick Mask" or "History brush" with my application (I might not be looking in the right place?) , I also remember years ago having Photoshop Pro and it had loads of goodies.

I use Photoshop 6 and Paintshop Pro. Tend to use Paintshop the most.

As you can see there are many different ones, some free some expensive. It's all a matter of finding one that fits your needs and then, like everything else, its practice.
Sorry there are no magic wands but then where is the fun in that :o :o :o

I am pretty much a newbie at photo restoration. I bought PaintShop Pro Ultimate X2 some months ago, but just started really working on it a month ago or so. Then by chance I got a free Photoshop Elements 6 when I purchased a wacom graphite tablet.
Now that I have both I can compare them. ;D
What I like about PaintShop Pro is that it is so easy to size the brushes and the zoom tool. I am having difficulty with that on Photoshop Elements. And the zoom in Photoshop is driving me crazy. ???
Another thing that I like about PaintShop is the Scratch Remover. :DAs far as I can tell there is nothing like that in Photoshop Elements.
Everything for me so far has been trial and error. I have colored serveral BW images in PaintShop Pro, but have yet to complete one in Elements. I am not satisfied with my work yet. :( I have a lot to learn.
I find Paint Shop Pro X2 easier to work with, but then that could be just because I have become more familiar with it.
The on screen menu on PaintShop Pro Ultimate X2 is also easier to work with and find than the one in Photoshop Elements 6.

I am happy with the zoom in PSE, and "despeckle can remove small blemishes But I prefer to use the clone and pick em out
