Avoid PhotoShop ANYTHING. It's only a 16-bit math platform, even the latest

CS3 is 16-bit math, no better than Windows 1.0 from 22 years ago (16 bit
Windows
1.0 started in 1985).

The day I buy a 32-bit camera, and I will look for a 32-bit program.
Until then, Photoshop is as good a I need and most of the world's best
photographers need. By the way an 8-bit computer can run 32-bit math
software. It just takes the correct programming. After all all
computers are binary (1 bit) machines built and programmed to do bytes.
A 32-bit computer is normally faster, but is not the only show in town.

Photoshop Elements is ideal for photographers. Photoshop CS is more for
printers, illustrators, artists and designers. Photoshop Elements has
some things for photographers that Photoshop CS lacks. Here are some
things that Photoshop Elements has that Photoshop CS doesn't have:

Spot Healing Brush
Impressionist Brush
Selection Brush
Cookie Cutter
Red Eye Removal
Auto Smart Fix
Auto Color Corrections
Adjust Smart Fix
Remove Color Cast
Quick Fix Mode
Process Multiple Files
Divide Scanned Photos
Straighten Image
Photo Bin
Organizer
Reduce Noise

This is based on:

Another thing is that I run Photoshop plugins on Photoshop Elements.
There may be some that won't run, but the photography based ones work
just fine. Photoshop Elements is not better or worse, it is different.
It is intended to be a different product entirely that focuses on
digital photography and basically an RGB workflow. For this it is
better than Photoshop. Photoshop Elements has an easier structure than
Photoshop and is more friendly to new users because there are fewer
tools on the surface, but translating that to somehow inferior is
incorrect. The guts of the program are the same as Photoshop, and the
user can enhance the interface along with their growth as a user.
