Depends on just what that 10% is. PS Elements has most of what most people need, but I use Photoshop CSx because, well, I've had Photoshop since before PS Elements existed. If what you want to do is compositing (panoramas, hdr, etc), color management (soft proofing for difficult images), or you want to do scripted actions on a batch of images, or graphic-arts related operations incorporating photographic images, Photoshop is the tool. I don't know all the capabilities of PSE in its latest incarnation, but if I didn't have Photoshop already, I'd be looking very closely at Pixelmator too ... very inexpensive and tremendous capability in a pixel editor. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
