I just need to know if elements can work in CMYK, or do I have to purchase another Photoshop format - if so, what is the cheapest way I can do this?

There is also the Adobe Creative Cloud where you can have a month by month or annual subscription for the publishing software In Design and CS6.

Is that cheaper, long term, than buying a Photoshop package?

I create adverts for my practice, and so will be doing this every month or so indefinately. I can produce the design with Elements, but the colours go slightly muddy once the newspaper or magazine does the conversion. I would like to produce adverts that stay bright colours. So it looks like buying a Photoshop package.

Not necessarily cheaper but with ACC you can use all the apps in creative suite, without any large capital outlay and they are updated by Adobe automatically when new versions are issued.

CMYK is only supported in the full Photoshop, not only CS6 but even in old versions.

If you have a friend with Photoshop, ask him/her to convert the file.

You also can download a trial version of CS and do the conversion.

Otherwise, you could use the free Scribus page layout software to produce CMYK in PDF format, but you would need to learn the software... frankly you would need to have a lot of conversions to make it worthwile.

Sorry no. CMYK is only supported in CS6.
