Maybe it isn't still true, but I got an old version of elements way back when and it didn't even allow me to adjust tone curves, so I threw it in the garbage. Maybe newer versions are better. (Or maybe I was just too stupid to figure out how to make elements work?)


I use gimp now, even though it has the awesomely sucky limitation that it only handles 8 bit files. (I do initial processing in DPP)


I don't like to pay for software. (I used to be a software engineer. So maybe it's kind of like how people who used to work at McDonalds don't like to eat there)
