I just recently purchased PSE 6.0 and am having some fun playing around with it. I've been using Digital Image Suite for quite a few years...so I am comparing programs.

First of all, I absolutely love all the Atomic Cupcake actions - they are soooo cool! Not all of them work on PSE 6.0, as I think they are made for previous versions, but the ones that do work are awesome! When I first started using them, I thought my program was glitchy - there was lots of funky stuff happening and really fast too. Then I realized that this was probably supposed to be happening - haha!!

The only thing that is getting really annoying is that PSE keeps encountering errors and then closes, especially when I've got too many layers. I have to constantly keep saving, after each little change, just in case it has to shut down on me.

Does this happen to anyone else??

What are some of your favorite features??

Ooohh...I forgot...I also wanted to ask, for those of you that are experienced users of PSE...when you create your own papers, etc., do you have a specific template that you follow for each page and then just make whatever changes? Or do you start each page fresh and go from there??

I've got the trial for PSE6 right now and so far I like it so much better than 5 which I also trialed. I have been using 3 all this time and 6 seems very similar. I don't like having to double click on everything in the bin but I do like the font samples when scrolling through the list.

One trick I came across... in order to use the arrow tools to 'nudge' an object, press Ctrl+T to select the layer.

very strange that it keeps shutting down on you like that. :(

Could very well be that my computer is "slow"...I've kind of bombarded it lately! ;)

I've noticed that my PSE starts acting glitchy and uncooperative when I have too many fonts installed. You might want to see if deleting some fonts helps.

What AC actions have you found that do not work in PSE6? I haven't tried my AC actions yet.
