Software Choice - Completed Thanks for all the Ideas
« on: Tuesday 09 June 09 14:53 BST (UK) »
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 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.
