Photo Enhancement: What do You Use to Create?

 Good afternoon,

I am curious what others use in creating. Do you photograph the world around you?
Or do you simply enjoy graphics, photographs, art, and so on for free or inexpensive and excellent qualities? 

I know I really need a good supply of graphics and photographs for my social media and website. There are times it's nice to have resources beyond my own to grab and use or create something really quickly with. One of those is my favoritest
(shhh is that a word or did I make it up lol): .
Anyway the program is PicMonkey

Do you use photoshop, scrap art, psp and tubes, poser, etc?

I learned photoshop several years ago when I was creating websites. I love it a lot for sure.
I've been learning and using psp and tubes for the few years. My desktop doesn't really like it and my laptop does fine with it. It's a real pain if I'm working on a project on my laptop but logged in to where the work needs to post on the desktop. Sigh

As it's been said, 'If there is a will there is a way'. With that said, I've found all kinds of work arounds for things. I use dropbox for one and learned how to 'favorite/star' a video or picture on my iphone and dropbox will upload it pronto. If the file isn't extremely large, I can email to myself and get it on the desktop. There's always a way. Or vica versa.

 I'm curious if you use Photoshop are you using Elements or a higher version?

Sometimes people don't want to admit they are using photo elements 13 for example. As if there is shame to using a very good program more than worth it's weight. Let's face it, not everyone can take classes or spend even more hours learning CS6 or others. Of course Lydia always has great classes but it's that time frame that would kill most people. 
I've even been using Canva and like it as well. Have you tried Canva? It's a real straightforward and easy graphic program as well.

I'm encouraging you to be happy with what programs your using. Don't allow yourself to be condemned nor condemn yourself.

As I said, I've been playing with a down right rad program,
