[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 304544, member: 9240"] As 'fish has stated, the Adobe CC solution requires you to login to purchase and maintain the software, but it will still operate when you want to work without an internet connection - it just needs to check the activity of the subscription. What you are looking to do you could certainly do with Photoshop Elements. But given that you do not have either at this point then it is my strong belief that it's more than worthwhile to invest in the CC subscription. You'll get full-blown Photoshop, which gives you tools like Content Aware Fill, Shake Reduction and Perspective Correction, all of which are reason enough on their own to bump up from Elements. Plus, you get whatever else is new as it's available. For someone with no software investment I find it difficult to conceive of going any other way. Lightroom seems to get an upgrade every 18 months ($75 a pop after the initial $99-150 investment), and you just can't buy Photoshop any more, but when you did it was $249 for the Academic edition and close to $600 for the full blown program - that's 5 years of CC subscription.
