frustrated...

I'm hoping to go purchase Photoshop CS3 or 4 in the next week or two as I'm using some little photo editor, I'm having trouble with cleaning up the skin (darned teenage acne!!) and with the warmth of the skin. Any suggestions on which version of photoshop to go with would be extremely appreciated as well...as it stands I'm a bit nervous about overpurchasing on a product or underpurchasing.

I'm learning pretty quickly and the longer I'm on this forum the more disatisfied I am with my own shots...haha, I guess that's a sign of learning though- painful as it is.

The girls wanted some shots together and seperate, we ended up going out right before sunset. There were actually about 20 shots that the girls liked as well as their parents so I guess that's a good thing.

Thanks for your feedback--it really is helpful!

I use PS Elements for all my editing, and just CS3 when I want to add any graphics, so I'll say PSE-85% and CS3 15%. For the pictures I think you did a good job cleaning up the skin, as I dont see any acne, but IMHO I would like to see these pictures with a little WB adjustment to the warmer side. Good Job on the composition...& keep shootin!

Thank you for the feedback...I actually may go for PS elements initially , it really does look like a good option and definitely a lot cheaper than cs3.
