After using P Shop LE 5.0 for about 8 years, I am having
much difficulty with it. That is, it will not load, or function any more.
I have tried every **** solution/fix I can think of. I un-installed and
re-installed it. I have performed every maintenance procedure that
I have available (Windows and Norton Systemworks). It just stopped
working. The window opens, but remains blank and stalls.
So, here is my question:
Is Elements similar in functionality and layout to LE ? I do not
have the need for full blown P Shop, nor do I want to spend that
kind of $$$.

LE has served my purposes just fine for many years.
I'd like to stick with a program I'm familiar with, rather than use
some other software from a different brand, altogether.

TIA

Well, I bought a copy of Elements 6. I hate it. The interface is ugly
and cluttered. Simple functions that were in LE are not there. My
biggest beef is that the re-size function doesn't allow you to select
pixels as an option. To re-do an image from (say) 1600x1200 to
1024x 679, you have to use the separate, "save for web" function.
It does not automatically display the change in the preview window.
Elements is obviously aimed at those who print at home, and make
photo albums. I need a program that can process images from a DSLR,
and do it with the least amount of BS and cheeziness.
I think I'll shop around for another copy of LE.
