Garbage.

Photoshop is primarily used for photo editing and retouching. Illustrator is a vector based graphics design suite, nothing to do with photo retouching.

Printing is far easier from photoshop.

I see your 'Garbage' and I raise you one 'Nonsense!'

I never said that Illustrator was for retouching photos, I'd like to see you quote the part where you think I did.

I believe I have said a good half a dozen times now that Illustrator is for vector and photoshop is for scalar. How can you be considered a credible source of information on graphics packages when your credibility at reading is in such jeopardy?

The OP is manipulating photos for print.

The best package for that would be Photoshop or in smaller scale, Elements-same thing different flavour.

Photoshop is ideal for printing from, IF the output does not need pagination, in that case the retouched output would go through Quark X-Press et al.

Illustrator comes in when vector graphics are needed, the output of which would again go through Quark if being made into printed matter etc.

Ive only been involved in press and pre-press for 34 years so doubt i know whats what :redface:

I'm on a one woman mission presently to do everything myself (not that I have any choice) and it is very liberating. Meanwhile with the help one gets on here there's no excuse not to do it oneself!

The fairy photos remind me of this story Leah, and these two young girls fooled the world back in 1917!

Amazing story - one I love, I would so like for it to have been true.

I remember reading that story too and I saw the film of it too. Hard to believe they fooled anyone because the pics show legs facing wrong ways and all sorts

Meanwhile, they still maintained right until old age they staged the pics only because the actual faries didn't show up in them! I believe in fairies

It was the film that led me to read more about them...

I believe in them... (did you know that every time a child says they do not believe) a fairy dies. I think the schools need to tackle this ASAP!

Nope ! Just 2GB of Ram is more then enough.... you just keep your PC clean and reduce the memory as much as u can (delete all those stuff you dont use)... and then try it !

OI! Stop spamming my thread!!

Photoshop versions CS and above needs more memory. So if you are using CS or above version then upgrade RAM.

Glad you managed the RAM upgrade - I had a similar problem with my wife's laptop (Adobe Premiere, not Photoshop) - she has to do some video-editing on the go, which is a nightmare (first Intel Core i7 in the house, a cheap Dell Vostro laptop). When you stop seeing any benefits from the memory upgrade, consider a SSD drive - they are EXPENSIVE (Crucial 256GB is about £300) and offer lower storage capacity, but give an amazing boost to performance on regular laptops. Hope this helps...
