[jimh73744799]

Hi ........I am looking to purchase PSE 2019 but there seems to be a few different versions or descriptions available depending on where I look. Download.....Digital.....Boxed.......standard.......upgrade.......full....etc. so I dont know my best option as a casual user. I have PSE 2009 installed so should I upgrade or bite the bullet and get a new version. I have read some horror stories regarding problems with downloading,  Any advice would be appreciated.

Each version of the program is independent.

You can download a free 30-day trial of PSEv.19 to evaluate it. If you like it, you can purchase the license subsequently.

Download Photoshop Elements free trial | Adobe Photoshop Elements

They are all the same, with the exception that the disc version may come with both a PC and Mac disc, while the download versions are a single platform.

The "upgrade" is just a price discount for the full version - a marketing ploy.

You might find a non-upgrade version from an authorized online reseller or retail store that is actually less expensive than the Adobe upgrade pricing.

To add to what hatstead said:

You can have many versions of Photoshop Elements installed on the same computer.
