What are the feature differences between Photoshop Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements?

Do I need both programs since it appears that Photoshop Elements is embedded into Premiere Elements?

Thanks, Ron

    Reg,

    Part of the problem is not understanding what the names of the two programs are:

    Photoshop Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements?

    As pointed out, the two separate programs are:

    Adobe Photoshop Elements (Image editing program)

    Adobe Premiere Elements (video editing program)

    Either, or both, will come with the Elements Organizer, but if one has both programs, only one version of that will be installed.

    Also, as mentioned above, there can be user confusion, when one buys the bundle with both programs (plus the Elements Organizer) inside.

    Good luck, and if you need additinal clarification, do not hesitate to ask.

    I have both Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements (which includes Photoshop Elements).  Thus do I need both or will just Premiere elements suffice to handle both Images and video?

    I have used Elements for some time, but recently to support some videos I downloaded the bundled Premiere Elements and now it seems like I have two Photoshop Elements.  What  am I not understanding?

    It sounds like you HAD Photoshop Elements, and then you BOUGHT a Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements bundle

    What version of Photoshop Elements did you HAVE, and what version did you recently BUY?

    Premiere Elements is to edit video, Photoshop Elements is to edit pictures

    You may include pictures in a video, but Premiere Elements has very limited picture editing capabilities... you would normally edit pictures in Photoshop Elements before adding the picture to a video timeline

    elements also consists of an Organizer which is part of premiere elements.
