Photoshop Elements 2 vs. 3 Being new to digital photography, I purchased an Epson 4180 scanner which came bundled with Photoshop Elements 2. What's the difference versus Elements 3? Version 2 seems to have everything I'd need at this time, especially being new at this. As always, thanks.

Learn the one you have first, and then think about upgrading. It's not all that easy to get stuff down when you're new at it. Good luck!

I just got Elements 3. The main difference is it has the ability to open RAW files, a healing brush, easier red eye fix, and it also has a better file browser. Hope this helps ... good luck with all your new toys!

I totally agree with Carolyn. I still haven't exhausted Version 1.0. When Version 2.0 was released, one reviewer said that the changes in the upgrade, though nice, didn't justify spending additional money. Version 3.0, I believe, has a feature (I don't even know what it's called) that is significant and right out of CS. If you want/need/can stand the expense, you might consider upgrading. The main thing you need to consider is that, in part, a software company upgrades its product(s) to continue revenue generation. (It's also called planned obsolescence.) But, in fact, how many of the bells and whistles on your camera, computer, or software do you use (or need)? If you are happy with Version 2, keep using it until it no longer fulfills your needs. Spend your money on lenses, film (if you still use traditional equipment), etc.

Thanks, John. I argee. All I wanted to know was what the difference was between the two versions. I haven't even begun to work with Photoshop yet.I was just curious. I had no intention of buying version 3.
