Just curious, why would you want Elements if you already have Photoshop? If you have Photoshop CC then it's understandable. You can purchase Lightroom 6 as a perpetual for about $149. and Elements for about $60-$70.
well, i have been working on photo frames in photoshop and most of the tutorials are in elements

OH! OK. I don't know if there are any tutorials on doing frames in Photoshop out there. Maybe someone else here at the Hog would know so keep an eye out for awhile. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, I do think Elements works well. Most out there use Lightroom for the majority of their editing and then Photoshop for perhaps 5-10% for pixel editing when needed but as far as I'm concerned Elements does a pretty decent job and I'm just a hobbiest so I'm not going to pay a rental fee for Photoshop/Lightroom.
You can download a free 30 day trial version of it or others at
www.adobe.com.

I purchased PSE as a backup if Adobe raises their subscription rate to where I don't want to spend the money anymore.

photo frames as part of the photo!!!! IMO yuck amateurish girlie-girl scrap book stuff vignetting OK but frames confine the foto and add nothing.... if not adding then it is distracting.
If you wish a frame... mount the photo on Laminated Floor material cut to size and do a gallery wrap then put 3/4 in blocks to give 3d frame look.

http://elementsplus.net/"As you, probably, know, Adobe Photoshop Elements has not inherited all of the essential features of the full Photoshop. Some functions have been removed, while the others just stay hidden. The "surface" Photoshop Elements functions are quite sufficient for a beginner. As you advance, though, you may miss one or another undocumented function. Here "Elements+" will be of service to you."
"photo frames IMO yuck amateurish girlie-girl scrap book stuff"
Perhaps you did not mean to, but you put "girlie's & "girls" down the drain. There are other ways to express your judgments.
I certainly do not mean to insult you. I will always combat pejorative characterizations. My Mom taught me to do that. LOL

No. Why would you want elements if you have PS.
