Thanks

Yes, lots. The bigger jump, I think, is 3 to 4. You get the magic wand, magic extractor, etc. From 4 to 5 you get the color curves tool. Plus lots of other stuff in both upgrades. I think it’s worth it. Don

Yeah, I agree with Don. If you had PE4 already, I might not advise the upgrade, but from 3 to 5 is almost certainly worth it. There’s a nice features demo video here:

Happy shopping. 🙂

I still use Photoshop v.7 but I’m not, by any stretch of the imagination, a power user. Is Elements 5 a worthwhile replacement?

The "curves" tool in PE5 isn’t what you expect. There is very little to really get in going from PE4 to PE5. PE3 when combined with the add-on from http://www.hiddenelements.com/index.htm is superior to either.

Oliver’s got it right! Except I downloaded free enhancements for PSE3 from Paul Shipley
http://member.melbpc.org.au/~pshipley/
that do pretty much what his downloaded extras do. The enhancements include curves (as a filter, not an adjustment layer, which is the way it’s applied in PSE5 too) + channels and masks. I’ve developed a contrast enhancement approach using a duplicate layer and the USM filter that I find as effective as curves, so curves aren’t critical any more. If you use a PC, find a discounted copy of PSE3 (not PSE4 because it doesn’t welcome the enhancements discussed above) and download the enhancements. You will be happy!
