Photoshop elements 2.0 vz Photoshop CS

[ITR 81]

I need a image editor that is easy to use but that can do everything I need to make my photos look professional looking on our website.

I've never used PS before and I heard it's kinda of steep learning curve. I need something I can use right away. I heard PS Elements was PS for beginners but has enough power to do what I need it to do.

Plus, I rather spend $90 bucks on something I can fully use then $690ish for something I can't fully use.

What do you guys think??

TIA

Elements has plenty of features and is more than enough for most people. Basically, if you needed CS you'd know it--there would be no doubt about it.

Elements is more than enough for 95% of users, especially given the huge price differential. I second the comment above: if you needed more, you'd already know.
