I would welcome some comments/advice on the merits of PhotoshopLE.
Thus, I am hoping shortly to buy a scanner and a printer for my recently
assembled computer so that I can play with some of my photographs, as well
as scanning and printing paper documents (ie the Scanwit does not meet my
needs).
But I am not inclined to seriously consider buying the full version of
Photoshop without much more experience of scanning photographs - it seems
to be agreed that it is good, but it is a lot of money. However, I find
that some printers come with Photoshop5.0LE bundled with it for about
UKP150 more than the next model down eg Epson Perfection Photo 1290 cf
E.P.P. 890. I certainly do not need an A3 printer instead of an A4 version
but like the look of 5.0LE - which does not seem to be available separately
according to the Adobe website. The alternative bundled software on the
cheaper printer is sometimes PhotoDeLuxe.
Assuming that my chosen scanner is adequate, one thing which I know I want
to do is to reprint where I can see that detail has been lost in the
standard printing process eg pictures of a lunar eclipse where no details
of the moon's surface are visible on my consumer grade prints but I can see
them on the negative using a loupe.
So, would Zuikoholics expect a beginner at scanning to be able to benefit
significantly from having Photoshop5.0LE?

PS. Have you noticed that Eudora 5.1's spellchecker offers 'sinkholes' as
an alternative to Zuikoholics???
