So is Corel Draw, Paint Shop Pro, iGraphix Design Suite.... sheesh I could
go on.


No, Mooron. Elements was LIFTED lock stock and barrel out of PS. They are both
from Adobe. Adobe essentially created Elements in the wake of PSLE, which had
been a giveaway with many cameras and scanners. Elements is expanded, but
operates just like photoshop, duplicating keystokes and so on.
I have Paintshop pro and it's a different program with it's own learning curve.
