Photoshop elements questions

[jam1234]

Hi,

 

I used to use Photoshop (CS 5) on my parents computer. But since I have got my computer I can't use it any more.

 

I was wondering if Photoshop elements was good enough for my needs. I want to use it to plan website designs, make avatars for my twitch channel and a number of other day to day uses. Is it appropriate for these uses? I can't buy Photoshop as I can't afford it as I am only 14.

 

I can also get a discount off it here: http://www.software4students.co.uk/products/adobe-photoshop-elements-12-and-adobe-premiere-elements-12

 

So I was my main question is: Is it good enough for my needs? and also are there any alternate programs that are just as good?

 

Thanks for all your help!

Elements is good, the only tool I miss going from CS5 at school to Elements at home is the Snip tool, but I rarely use that anyway. Download CS2 as well to see if you like it, it's free. Just google CS2.

Edit: this link should work https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?pid=4485850&e=cs2_downloads

If u're wiling to learn GIMP, that'll be a good alternative.

Most likely. Try out GIMP, Just a free image editing software like photoshop
