tegater 789 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I use elements and CS2. I keep elements on laptop as a cannot afford CS 5, but it does most things. If I need CS 2, I use my PC. I also use another free one, which name escapes me now, as I am not at home, but that is useful as well. For storage, I use ext hard drives and dvd.

ghillies 209 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 pay atention to lap top screens and weather you can set them up, most are just 'for photogragh' for 'games'.. no actualy options for tweeking to a printer. the newer stuff's may have screen setting options...without it your stuck with what you got. (screen calibrators are usefull). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J Darcy 5,871 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Above everything, the one thing you simply got to get is an external HD. If not then you're playing a game of Russian Roulette with your portfolio of piccys! When the PC decided to play Hard Ball with you and crashes and you loose everything you soon buy one! Just a thought JD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just a thought JD good point mind you, 99% of mine would be no great loss Many a true word said in jest Paulus. the vast majority of my early photographs are complete and utter rubbish, though i do remember at the time getting mighty excited about them.
