Hi,
I've never done any processing other than straightening, cropping and auto fix. I'd like to do more.
My camera (LX5) came with Silkypix which I can't get on with at all. Photoshop Elements is about the budget I'd be happy to spend, I can get the latest version 9 or for half the price the older 8, though the price difference isn't really significant. I understand both will handle the RAW files from the LX5, though 8 needs a plug in and I'm not sure if that makes it fully functional. I've read a thread here that suggests the RAW handling on 9 was inferior to 8?
So the question; Which am I better off getting and why?
Thanks
