I own CS6 and just downloaded a trial of Elements…
As far as I can tell, it dosn’t do anything that photoshop doesn’t…. Am I missing somthing?
No. Photoshop Elements is kind of a Photoshop Lite.Thanks, Craig… That’s what I was thinking…

It IS handy, though. It’s a lot less complicated than the full Photoshop and can do many, if not most, tasks equally well.I did find 2 things that were pretty cool, the auto red eye and the "reflection" filter…

Neither one would make me spend the bucks at the end of the trial, though…
Well, for some of us who don’t want to spend the bucks on the full version of PS (me), and probably couldn’t deal with all of its intricacies if we could (me), it’s a dandy alternative.I can see that… or Lightbox, I think they call it…

I mainly build photo albums for facebook and I might keep elements if it ends up saving me time…
Some of the albums have over 100 pictures, taken in bar/band lighting and have to have a lot of balancing done, so if a program can save me 20 or 30 seconds a photo, that adds up fast….
Makes sense. PSE does have a limited batch mode which *may* be of some use.
p.s. It’s called Lightroom. And it’s also a catalog program. Some folks (even PSE users) love it. I haven’t seen the need for it.

That’s part of my problem with Elements, Craig… The "organizer"… I’m very happy with Picasa and don’t want elements to reinvent my wheel…

Why is it a problem? I never use it. Many PSE users don’t.

Not a problem any more… I found out last night that I could make it open in the photo editor, bypassing the "choose one" screen… I think I have prevented it from scanning my dish for photos when I open the program….

I don’t think you have to do anything to prevent it from scanning – I think you have to tell it explicitly *to* scan.
