Elements is a *significant* downgrade from most versions of full Photoshop, like CS5, CS4, CS3, I'd say. CS4 is way more capable than PSE. I'd have recommended you to save up a bit more cash and get Lightroom instead. Lr + Ps CS4 would be a very powerful combo. On Sun, May 13, 2012 at 5:19 PM, J

I'm still using CS4, and decided to take a gamble on the current PhotoShop Elements. I don't like it one bit. Either it is missing most of the features I use, or it uses different names for those features so the menu structure is completely foreign to me. Jeffery On May 13, 2012, at 4:13 PM,
