Welcome to the all NEW and majorly improved Everyday Elements! Once everything is settled, I will do a post giving a little tour, showing what has changed, where to find what you need.
To celebrate Everyday Elements new site, I am giving away a copy of
Photoshop Elements 10!
I bought version 10 the day after it came out and I have been very pleased with the new features they added to the program.
- Rule of Thirds grid and other overlays to the crop tool
- Type tool that allow text to follow circular paths
- Improved speed and flow of Organizer
- Ability to access Facebook friends list for tagging images in Organizer, for later upload to Facebook
- More templates for creating collages and photo albums
At the very bottom of this post, there is a video giving a little tour of Photoshop Elements 10.
A question asked a lot when a new version of Photoshop Elements is released is: “Should I upgrade?” Here is my .02 worth on it:
- If you have PSE 7 or older, definitely upgrade. So much has been added and enhanced that it is worth the money to upgrade.
- If you have PSE 8 or PSE 9, no, I probably wouldn’t upgrade. Honestly, if you have some extra funds, I would recommend buying Lightroom 3 to use in combination with your PSE, rather than upgrading to PSE 10.
Winner is Kerry, comment #210

About Amanda
Spring.. everything is fresh and new… I love all the different seasons though
My favorite season of all is Summer, my husband is in the air force and being stationed in north dakota the summer time is the only time we get to not have to wear winter jackets and freeze. 🙂
I love SPRING, there is something about the new grass, flowers, trees in bloom that just recharges me! The colors, the smells, the sunshine…just cannot get enough!
SPRING, it only lasts about a month in WI but it’s amazing!
Fall!
Spring…love the blooms, the colors and seeing green grass after all the snow
I absolutely love the colors and crispness of Autumn! It reminds me of happy memories, football, sweatshirts, driving through a waterfall of falling leaves, and so many other things that make fall my hands-down favorite time of year!
Love the gorgeous fall colors!!
Fall time is the best!!
you can have the best of all seasons in fall with great late summer warmth, cool crisp nigts, new colors with the changing leaves and pumpkin fields as well as a chance of snow!
Definitely Fall… I adore fall wardrobe styles. Especially since I like in AZ and our summers last until NOW! UGH! Come on cool weather!
Autumn is and has always been my most favorite season. The changing colors of the leaves,making scarecrows,taking a ride through the country roads to see all the beautiful trees!
My favorite season is definatly Fall!!!!!
Summer no doubt…it is all the activities and fun in the sun that comes with this season that I love so much! The beach, the pool, the BBQ’s…the list could go on!
I love fall. All because I got married in the fall was born in the fall . Oh and the colors are amazing!
FAll is my favorite season, especially for photographing! beautiful colors and textures. 🙂 not too hot and not too cold out .
I love fall!! The colors, the crispness in the air and the wonderful feelings with upcoming holidays arriving.
I love ALL the seasons! I love Summer because it stays light outside longer and you can have BBQ’s and pool parties…I love Fall because of the color changes and the crispness in the air. I love Winter because of cozy fireplaces and hot cocoa and most of because we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in December! I love Spring because of the newness of life it brings every year! I really do LOVE them ALL! 🙂
I love Summer!!! can wear cute summer dresses with out freezing your bootie off! =) the sunshine is my friend
I LOVE autumn! The colors, the smell of the leaves, the cool crisp air, love it!
Summer! Love the sun and heat, and swimming in the lakes AND I get to wear sandals ALL of the time!
I love fall in upstate NY! We are a military family and have relocated to central CA and I daydream about fall at home. It is breathtakingly beautiful here but I miss the crisp fall air and incredible foliage.
Spring because it is inspiring to me.
I love the colors of fall but the comforts of the winter season!
Fall… I love when all the leaves change colors (Oregon) school starts and the air is cool… Aka time for comfy clothes jeans and a sweatshirt!!!
Fall! or spring! or summer…just not winter.
My favorite season is Fall. I love the colors, the sweater weather and my favorite smell is the ripening Concord grapes on the vines. They always bring a smile to my face. I do not like what follows fall, but I could never sacrifice having all four seasons.
I love fall. Things get very cozy here in the Pacific Northwest.
My favorite used to be spring but I think this year, I’ve changed it to fall. Living in Florida, we don’t get some of the visual benefits as other states but I love the crisp in the air, starbucks pumpkin latte (haha!) and I think the excitement of knowing that there is a holiday for three months in a row!
I love WINTER! I love everything about winter, the snow, the nip in the air, the clothes, snowmen, snowball fights, fires in the fireplace, and snuggling up with my husband and son watching A White Christmas, while drinking hot chocolate! My husband is in the military and we move a lot and only get to see family once a year at Christmas time. Every year we take a big family trip up into the mountains to see snow and go skiing\snowboarding. It’s a time of the year that I look forward to more than anything else. 🙂
Fall! I love the colors…burnt orange, deep red, yellow, & brown. I love to see the colors on the trees and the falling leaves. I love the crisp mornings, pumpkin chai tea, and the crackle of the fire. I love the fog and the first light frost. I love Fall!
I LOVE SUMMER…baseball, ice cream cones, snocones, beaches, swimming pools, barbeques, the smell of suntan lotion, a great tan, and most importantly *NO HOMEWORK* for my three sons!!!
I love spring. After a cold midwestern winter I am happy to see the earth come alive again.
At the risk of echo’in…
Fall… fall in love with fall… its so beautiful and the weather is just right. <3
I LOVE FALL! Colors, smells, cozy clothes!
Oops! I forgot to say my favorite Season! lol I have always loved Fall, but since moving to the South, Spring is gaining, what with all the gorgeous flowers we get here. Although “Fall is a Southerner’s reward for surviving Summer!” 🙂
I dont need a new PSE, but I did want to tell you my favorite season……..I really have 2, Fall because when it starts to turn cold it just feels so cozy. Winter cause of the rain. Love the smell of wet ground. I try to embrace each season for what it is. I hope one day you give away a lightroom program. 🙂
Thanks
I love all seasons but I get particularly excited for th Fall! <3
Spring! which is followed by Summer! which is followed by Autumn!
(I will not speak the name of the other season)
I love the colors of fall
Fall is my favorite!! I married my husband in Fall!!!
Winter! I love Christmas time. 🙂
Love, love, love Spring when the flowers start blooming!
Fall is the best. It’s so beautiful here in the Northwest!
First of all, I just found you through a friend on Facebook TODAY so I’m REALLY excited to browse your website!! Thanks for the hard work on your site 🙂
I actually love winter. As a photographer, I like the challenge it brings to find new, beautiful and interesting things to capture. I like when it snows how the colors of cardinals, bluejays, blue birds and other animals is so bright against the white snow. Winter is all about rejuvenating and replenshing…preparation! I love sledding and skating with the family. Gives my husband NO excuse to not cuddle with me after, lol! 😉 And cooking comfort food!! Mmm!
Have always loved spring, because it brings with it new beginnings. But since moving to a colder climate where the seasons are more defined I’m learning to appreciate fall more and more every day. The rusty colours of the trees are just too beautiful not to capture on camera!
Summer! love the heat, the long days and the fun opportunity to shoot a variety of people and places.
I love Spring for the warmer days and cooler afternoons and gorgeous vivid colours. It just feels new.
I love summer… warm days, flip flops, family times, boating, beach, grilling and all that good stuff.
Spring! Vivid colours, warmer days and cooler afternoon/evenings.
Each of the season’s has a wonderfulness to them. I would say the short lived beginning of each season is my favorite. The quietness of the first snowfall of Winter…the first signs of Spring, like a hush of warm air that’s different…the need to wear a sweater and want a warm cup of coffee with hazlenut cream in the Fall and the lighting of the first BBQ in Summer, there’s something about that smell….ymmmm!
