Elements to CR3 ?

[juju]

Hi,

i currently use elements 4 to do all my photo editing but have the oppertunity to upgrade. is it worth me spending the £500 to get CS3 or should i just bump up to elements 5 for £39.99. I know elements is designed basically for digital photography and as thats what i do wasnt sure if there was enough difference to warrant me spending the cash or not.

From every thing I've read, most of what can be accomplished in CS2 or CS3 can also be done in Elements, you just have to look for it.

Here is a discussion of the topic on photo.net

For Photography CS3 is insane overkill and definitely not required. Despite being called photoshop it's more of a graphic design studio than anything.

If you want to try something new, try Lightroom. It's a awesome piece of software. Well, I think so anyway.
