I typically use my Creative Memories software to create my pages, however I have found that I need to use my PSE8 to do a few things. Are tubes and plug ins for PhotoShop? What are they and how do they work in general?
Sincerly,

BTW, please don't read into my title the wrong way - I realized this is an international site. I work with a lot of attorneys who I am constantly saying, "plain English please"...only because they have a different speak than this bean counter - LOL

Well, I'm still kinda learning things as I go with digital scrapping but I do believe that tubes are images already extracted and ready to use in your pages like elements.
Plug-ins are extensions you add on to programs, any programs. Like Topaz is a plug-in that you can add to your PSE8. This just adds extra effects and such . Now some are free and some not.

But I'm sure that there are some people here who might know more than me in this subject. But I hope this helps you a bit. This was my version of plain English, LOL

Yes Luisa is right about these. There are lots of free tubes on the net and the same with plug-ins. Google them and you'll get everything you need to know - and 'how to' instructions. Check that they are for Elements and not just Photoshop although some do for both.
