But as I mentioned, when I took this old laptop to the Apple store, they upgraded my OS and now I can't uses the old PhotoShop app I bought. I really don't want to pay a monthly fee to use a newer version of it. So I'm going to learn how to use PhotoPad and it'll have to do. I mainly use photos as reference images for painting. So they don't have to be great. I do document my finish paintings with my Nikon, so I have to do a little color correcting on the images. Oh well, this will have to do.
