Tutorial Explains Which Adobe Photoshop Elements Version Suits You

I have been asked the question, "Which is the Best Version of Adobe Photoshop Elements" so many times that I decided to write my answer down and hopefully answer the question once and for all.

What you first must understand is how Adobe has separated their Photo Editing Software by creating two separate programs. Photoshop Elements is the program for those who have never used or are just beginning to use photo editing software programs; Photoshop is the best program if you have previous experience with photo editing software and wish to use more advanced editing techniques when working with their photos. Typically people will begin with Photoshop Elements and move on to Photoshop once they become comfortable editing their own photos.

What most software manufacturers do is to update their programs to include new features or to enhance existing features; with Adobe we are currently using version 8. Another reason software is updated is to stay a step ahead of anyone who wants to steal the program through hacking.

If you already own a version of Elements, my advise would be not to upgrade to the new Elements version as there really aren't that many significant changes, but to invest in the latest version of Photoshop, which is currently CS5 as that will always include any tools that you may be missing out on from the latest Elements version.

When it comes to learning how to use the Elements software in an efficient manner, then you should really consider professionally made Adobe Photoshop Elements video tutorials that can be applied to any Elements version. Don't worry if the screen appears to be slightly different to yours as the videos will help you out with 90% of the tools on any Elements version.

If you are a beginner then you should be aware that all versions of the programs have the basic tools to make your photos the best possible so don't worry about purchasing the latest version available on the market. You can find cheaper versions on Amazon or eBay. or do a Google seach for any other current offers.

When you have purchased a version of Adobe Photoshop Elements, then you will probably want to make a quick start in getting to grips with the functions available, although not always very easy to get on with at first.
