Im curious whats the difference between photoshop elements(whatever the new one is) and photoshop cs3. (apart from the giant price difference.)

 

I honestly have no idea what is different when you compare them to each other, so a little help please :P

They offer a downloadable free 30 day trial version, I believe.

Photoshop CS3 I believe has a lot more components than elements. Elements is just the very basics of Photoshop, and lets you do things faster in some sense. However CS3 will let you customize what you do for full control.

Adding to what ROBOSRUS said, Elements is a watered down version specifically targeted at quick photo retouching such as removing red-eye and other easy photo tweaking. It's also bundled with a lot of the more expensive cameras.

 

 

 

Unless you plan on seriously getting into photo or graphics work, buying either of them isn't worth the money.

I PMed you, ROBO. I'm not sure if the guy who posted wants it though. :|

Photoshop elements doesn't look too bad, if you want to just do some small stuff. The price isn't either considering how difficult it is to program those...

Elements is used in schools for schools to learn to "basics" and none of the advanced things that cs3
