Photoshop versus Photoshop Elements

[rverne10]

Hello Forum.


So...is there a difference between "Photoshop" and "Photoshop Elements"?

Thanks,
Jenny

I'll relate my experience, see if it fits you.
Went on ebay and looked for a good deal on Photoshop 7-its the bomb
Found the local library just happened to have this cool book, "The Photo Shop 7 Wow! Book " by Jack Davis-bought it cheap at Amazon.com and whiled away the hours learning to edit photos.
True, the full version of Photo Shop is a bit much but you just leave certain features alone until you're ready. The Photoshop Elements leaves certain features out that I found useful early on like full fledged layering.
Without a good guide book to show the way, the program's features are not apparent.

They only bit of PS not in PSE that I regret not having is curves adjustment and channels mixer. Everything else like masks can still be achieved using PSE.
