I would recommend the latest version PSE15. I suggest you download the free trial and test the product before purchase.

It’s a good way to review all the tools and features and to test compatibility with your computer.

There is no need to uninstall the trial if you decide to purchase. Simply validate with your serial number and the software becomes permanent.

Just downloaded photoshop element 15. The problem I have now is that I can't view or open my photos with photoshop. Am i missing something?

Are you using the Photos App on Mac OS?

If so, you may need to export duplicates from Photos to the desktop and open from there. It is possible to open directly from Photos into the Elements Editor using extensions.

Photos on Mac OS now permits the use of Extensions.  Go to this link for more information:

External Editors For Photos  in the App Store

Thanks 99jon. Do I need to download a third party extension? I followed the instructions from the link above but didn't give me lots of options and didn't see photoshop elements on there?

Yes you would need to purchase an extension from the Mac App Store. The one highlighted on my blog costs 99 cents. I don't think the app store offers any free trials.
