I want to expand into macro photography and would like to overcome the shallow depth of field by image stacking. The tutorials I've seen on Utube all glibly talk about using Photoshop CS6. I have not got £700 to spare and I have only got Photoshop 7 on my PC. Is there any way of using this or does Photoshop Elements (which doesn't cost a fortune) have the capability of stacking images?
7 seems doubtful. but this seems to indicate Elements is OK. Ed.

Thanks, I took a look and the Elements seems the way to go

I recently bought Elements 12, £56 inc postage and I find it's great overall. It will allow photo stacks and if I'm right ( not that good with it yet!!) it will either stack automatically or advise if stacking is warranted. It is quite easy to use I think.
Hope this helps.

A yearly subscription to PhotoShop CC PLUS Lightroom is $10 US plus tax.
Some will say it's too much, but you'll continually get the latest features and fixes for less than if you used CS6 alone for 5 years.
