Photosohop Elements is one of the best of the mid-priced (about $100) image editing software programs. It is the “lite” version of Photoshop I use it regularly. Of the four versions, I recommend version 3. Elements will give the you basic features and tools of Photoshop. If you buy a $17 book, you can add more of the features of Photoshop. If you have version 1 or 2 it is well worth the upgrade to get version 3. I am not yet ready to recommend version 4.

Adobe Photoshop is the most popular software among professionals. It is arguably the best software available. It can do amazing things. When I need the more advanced features that Elements doesn’t have, I use Photoshop. The only kicker? The price tag. There is a discount available at the present time from the links on my photo website and below.
