Photoshop elements 5 help adobe forms dont let me in.?

Question

I have adobe photo shop elements 5 and its on windows vista.

1) I know it says you can make greeting cards but I was wondering if I could make my own on Photoshop using only a template? I could like to make an invitation for something.

2) Flip book and Slide show? Can I use these tools to make a moving gif?? I know some people told me they use adobe image ready to make a video like gif. Its looks like just a video clip but smaller and maybe text around it or whatever. Is there a way for me to make a gif (that looks like just a video clip) using slide show or flip book?

3) Photo gallery what is it? They have animated is that like a gif icon? What’s the one for the web? Is it like a background layout for a site you make for ur pics? What is the interactive one for? What’s best to use for each one?

4) Also is there a way to just use a video file and cut it down and make it smaller and just put it in ur banner without using screen caps? (which someone people tell me that they do but they get this so great incon with the pics looking like the video) If not that mean you have to make like 40 layers to make a real video clip move what 10 seconds?

5) also is there a smoke brush to make white smoke? Also is there a brush for fire, sparkle stars and rain?

Answer 1

The best idea is for you to purchase a book to learn how to use Elements 5. Your questions would require pages of explanations.

Answer 2

I have Adobe photoshop elements 5.0 and adobe photoshop 5.0 (not elements) limited edition I'm pretty sure elements have airbrushing... but I have no clue about CS2 P.S. CS2 is a lot more advanced
