I have been using Elements for years. So more or less I am looking for tutorials on the differences between the two. Any suggestions ?

 

thanks

This is a table that compares the two.

A big difference for some people is that Elements can be purchased with a perpetual license and Photoshop is subscription only (you pay a monthly or yearly fee.)

Elements is a fantastic value. However, if you are a professional, Photoshop may have enough extras to make the subscription worthwhile.

PS is probably more then I need. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I just will not like paying the cancellation fees.

You're welcome. For future, and perhaps you already know, Adobe offers a 7 day free trail on their software so that you can kick the tires before subscribing.

Hey

 

Thanks much. Both links were helpful. I think it is time to get Elements 2020 and cancel the subscription. I would rather take the time to work on what I am doing rather then spending this time on PS 2020 to gain not much more then I will use in Elements. I appreciate the charts.
