CS2-Did I bite off more than I can chew or need-suggestions?
#1
I bought CS2 shortly before Apple replaced my problematic G5 with a MacPro. After using it for a short time, I discovered that it seemed far more complicated than my skill or knowledge level could easily handle.

Previously, I had been using PS Elements 2, but it seemed if I edited a picture in Elements it was no longer viewable in iPhoto.

I like using iPhoto as a way of organizing all the many (since I migrated from the G5) picture files, but I have an idea that the various Photoshop apps do a better job of editing. I have been winnowing through all the folders I have with picture files in them and deleting the "obvious" duplicates. Since my last post about iPhoto's method of storage, I'm pretty well convinced by all the replies I received, that storing all of my pictures in iPhoto makes sense and uses less disk space than my former method of keeping separate folders with additional originals of my pictures.

Now my question is what application should I be using to edit my photos, can the results be kept in my iPhoto Library for easy access and will the originals still be kept intact if I edit outside of iPhoto?

Also, if I change from using CS2, what is my CS2 "upgrade" worth? Could I trade it for an application that's more suitable for my ability?

Thanks for your thoughts,

GeneL
