I've used Elements for years; version 2, 3 & now 4. It is great for touching up really old photos & there is an Auto Adjustment which works 90% of the time. Saves a lot of time & aggravation! Making Collages is a dream. The only negative I have is that when you make a slide show every slide lasts for the same amount of time, whereas iPhoto 6 allows you to determine each slides' time. Photoshop Elements is worth every penny.
