Just purchased PSE4.

[Stringbean]

Yesterday I saw a copy of PSE4 priced at $134.92 and today I was at Costco and it was there selling at $99.00. So, being the impulse buyer I am I grabbed it! So here is my first question on PSE4. :) Is the only way I can work on my photos through the organizer? I sure hope not because I don’t need to transfers all my pictures into the program. Knowing the experts we have on this forum I’m sure help is on the way!! :confused:

[Stringbean]

Stupid me!!! Just figured out the answer to my own question. Got into my picture files OK. :o

Hi Stringbean ...

Isn't that always the way ... as soon as you post a question you work out how to do it :)

Do let us know how you gt on with PSE4 :)

Hi Stringbean,

You don't have to use Organizer at all, some users removed it in PSE3. If you do start using Organizer, there are times when it is better (but not essential) to open pictures from Organizer, for example working with Version Sets.

I just love that “do let us know” expression! It’s so English.:) I’m sure that you will be hearing from me, and thanks for always being there.

Hi Stringbean ...

Wendy,

One of my best "mates" is a Brit. My favorite is "should we cross the road for a pint?":D

[Wendy]

Hi Norm ...

Sounds perfectly normal to me :) :)

Norm,
another one is, "Fancy a swift half?"

.... which usually turns into "Oh go on then make it a pint"

All this drinking is going to my head. I’ll never figure this thing out ;)

Wendy is wonderful. Not Writing in the forum much myself at this point. Time thing. Check in regularly, just now telling my husband (again) about Wendy, "do let us know how you get on," so reassuring. That is meant as a total compliment. Wendy you keep people (like me!) here hoping I will finally 'get it'
Thanks, Kim

[Wendy]

Hi Kim ...

... and thank you for the kind words :)

I like to add "Do let us know how you go on" to my messages as I think it just encourages people to let us know if they do or don't manage to sort out the problem. Up to now I hadn't realised that it was so typically British :)

Some of my favorites

"Money for old rope."
"Hoover it up."
"A great hide to nothing."


The brits have a wonderful way of phrasing things. Some historical figures were well known for the way they could turn a phrase. One thinks of Benjamin Disraeli, who was at a political dinner. After the meal as they were delivering the champagne he was heard to say, "Ah! At last something warm."

But my favorite was the acerbic wife of the PM, Lady Margot Asquith. When she met Jean Harlow Ms. Harlow had the misfortune of pronouncing Lady Asquith's first name with the "t" on the end. Lady Asquith replied, "No, no, my dear. The name is Margo. The "t" is silent. . . as in Harlow.':)
