Sanderling Fleetwood IMG_0171a
Sanderling and sea foam.
I have worked with Elements 2 for all my processing since 2004. I recently obtained Elements 13. I've worked with it a few times and whist it has one or two added features that may benefit me (with practice), I have to say I hate it. You can't fix your images to the screen with 'Browser' as you could with E2. Accessing images just isn't as good as it used to be. The working screen is reduced in size by about a 1/4, the tool palette is fixed then the additional tools are added at the bottom of the screen which closes off yet more working area till you expand it again. You cannot get rid of the layers box on the right (as far as I am aware). All in all the user interface is unfriendly in my view. It's like driving a car from the front seat with the pedals in the back seat with the windscreen half covered over:(
