I am thinking of upgrading to the latest Elements version from my current version 5. Keep in mind I am not really proficient with version 5.
One of the reasons to do this is B&W conversion. Unless I am missing something I can't find a good conversion tool to convert photos to B&W in elements 5. It only has two options that are, 1: convert to black and white 2: adjust color. Each of those have different settings inside of those for further adjustments. It may be me but I don't really like how things turn out using these tools.
This is where one of you nice souls can chime in and give me a little tutorial in B&W conversion.
I would really like to explore B&W so I would probably benefit from some type of book about this also.
Second reason is that from what I understand with Elements 7, I can upgrade to CS3 and CS4 which may save me money in the long run. If this is so then this alone is very good reason to upgrade to version 7.
I am also wondering just how much of a difference there is between v. 5 and v.7.
I almost forgot to ask. The price is right from this site which is download only. Just wondering if anyone else has done this or what you might think of doing it this way?
