Hmmm... I am a previous user of ACDSee 7. Now I want to change to adobe products. What I'm looking for is a software that can view numerous type of pics and do some editting/touchup. I checked adobe product line and I saw so many types of software. I don't know which to buy and I don't want to waste money for something I didn't wish for.

Products in mind:
1) Photoshop® Elements 4.0 for Windows
2) Photoshop® Album 2.0
3) Photoshop® CS2

Which should I get?

From ACDSee to Photoshop CS or Elements is quite overkill I think.
If simple retouching/editing means rotating/sharpen/blurring/red eye removal/resize etc then you can always use FastStone Image Viewer.

Example:-

Haha... I want to upgrade myself in the aspect of photography mah... Lol... What's the difference between Photoshop® Elements 4.0 and Photoshop® Album 2.0? I don't see great difference in them. Which is better? Or should I just dig some money for CS2?

I guess if you really are good at it, just get Photoshop Element then.

Photoshop Album is for people who wants to reorganize, retouch or edit their pictures.

Photoshop Elements is basically Photoshop CS without PANTONE. Element doesn't help you organize though.

I think I won't need Pantone. What can I do with it at home? hehe... What kind of organization does the Photoshop Album can do? Is it like grouping photos according to date etc?

any software dat is free prefabably to edit my mp3's..
edit as in minus vocals n all ?

//Thread merged

Audacity came to my mind...http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ But actually, removing the vocal in mp3 will cause loss of quality. If you want to retain it's quality, I suggest that you do not remove the vocals in mp3.

I will always recommend torrent(bitcomet) if you want to download a wide variety of files. I use limewire more likely for songs...

Please recommend a software to: Make all the digital photos as slideshow, and add with songs as background.

Sofware that is easy to use, reliable, fast, with a lot of functions.

Thanks.

any good recommendation for a free registry cleaner tool?

I would greatly recommend ccleaner which has been mentioned by samurai 1337. I've been using it since a long time and I never encountered any problem with it. With regular use of ccleaner, your computer will be maintained in tip top condition.

What licence do you own for nero? Certain features requires retail version(premium/ultimate edition). My Nero 7 Premium can make and burn DVD videos.

In that case, what is the next best free thing to nero

In another matter, can anyone tell me how to transfer the XP home lisence from my old Laptop to new Laptop. I don't have installtion cd.. icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif

Nero is not only a CD burning software. It has a lot of other features in it. Free softwares don't come with so much features. If the XP in your old laptop is an OEM license, you cannot transfer. Likewise, if it is "retail" just get another installation CD and type in the old product key when installing.
Wonder if this suits you: http://www.cdburnerxp.se/
