Should I take Photoshop Elements or Photoshop ?
It's always best to own the software, so if you own Photoshop, by all means—take it! However, if you are wondering which software to buy to use to enhance your own photos—Photoshop Elements is inexpensive to buy and overall easier to learn to work since it has more automatic functions.
