  Cheryl, there are only 2 Photoshop programs available - Photoshop CS and Photoshop Elements. The former is the big kahuna in the industry - with all the bells and whistles you could ever think of, while Elements is the "junior" version - must less expensive and missing some of the more advanced functions. If budget is no object and you really want to learn everything (warning - this is a career move - there's gobs you can learn) the CS would be the way to go.

On the other hand, if you meant to say Photo processing classes, then there are a bunch of other image editing packages out there at all kinds of price points. Corel, PaintShop, and a bunch more.

  Hi Cheryl, the current version of Photoshop is CS3. You can get plenty of training videos at lynda.com.
