Need links to tips, tricks, tutorials for when my copy of PSE 15 arrives, last time I used PSE was PSE6 ages ago so no idea what's changed, how to install styles, brushes, actions etc on a Win 10 machine.
found this for actions... https://www.greaterthangatsby.com/how-to-install-use-photoshop-actions/ looking for styles and brushes. I think the rest of it will be really similar. You could google what the differences are between your last version of photoshop (cc?) and PSE 15.
brushes is at that first link. styles - I'm pretty sure that this works http://scrapgirls.net/forum/topic/63501-installing-styles-actions-in-pse-14/
Here's a free class. You might have to skip over some of it as its for peeps who have never scrapped before. http://scrapaneers.com/digital-scrapbooking-for-beginners/ Main thing you'll want to remember with PSE is to make sure you're in Expert mode. You select it across the top in PSE 14. Not sure where it is in 15. Hope that helps.
It's the same. Quick mode has a lot of quick photo filters now. I just love it. A big change for me is ctrl-alt-g to clip & ctrl-g to group layers.
I'm watching this thread b/c I too need to learn PSE15. I got it for my GD so we can learn it together. I've only opened it up once to make sure it was working but it seems so weird b/c I have always used photoshop. I think the learning curve for this will be much easier than learning PS though. Watching some vids will be helpful.
Well my PSE arrived a week earlier than expected so now i'm off to play. I've got a week til CC expires but think I need to go and just use one program.
@littlekiwi Jennifer, have fun with the new program. Post how you like it and if you discover any little tips about using it. I'll be playing with mine after Xmas when I have some time to sit down and watch some vids and then play around with it.
@bcgal00 right now im just installing it and boy is it testing my patience....almost 900 mins to go and still increasing
@littlekiwi Jennifer - that is a crazy long time to install. Hope it doesn't take that long. How frustrating.
I just got my copy too and I'm running into some issues. When I choose a photo or embellishment from the photobin and try to insert it into my page it goes all wonky and not into the area I've clicked on my layers. Huge learning curve on this for me, I came from Elements 9, I think I waited to long to upgrade!!
@littlekiwi & @Bronwen Here is a YouTube video for beginners re PSE15... You need to know where everything is in order to "jump in" so those that need the info as thery are new to it, here ya go there are a lot of PSE tutorials out there.. just google it.
Thanks Christa. I have PSE15 to install next week or at least this month! I'll miss my PSE13 but I don't think a lot of what matters to me has changed. (I hope!)
following this thread as my pse15 is sitting on my desk. Waiting for my new tower to arrive though. I'm going from pse8 to 15
Barbara you will be fine you will love it as you will be able to use and load styles and actions too!
I just posted a short tutorial on the Scrapping with Liz blog with a little text trick I discovered. I have PSE 15, but I think the steps probably work for several older versions too. Custom Text Technique for Photoshop Elements
