Oops, I misspoke. When you click Done, it saves changes and closes the file. To continue editing the image in Elements, select Open Image. Hope this helps...
After you have imported your images into the Elements Organizer, right click the image that you want to edit and chose "Edit With Photoshop Elements Editor" This will open Adobe Camera Raw where you can male adjustments like cropping, exposure, etc. when you click Done at the bottom right, it will then open it in Elements for further editing.
It's good advice. I do that myself
I recently bought the Artisan 1430 and could not be more satisfied with it. No problems so far and beautiful prints.
That depends on what you mean by crash. If it just locks up, then no. You just have to restart it. If your hard drive fries, then you lose everything, but that's a rather extreme case.
I have an older laptop with only 3 gig of ram, and Lightroom 4.2 works fine on it. I had a bit of trouble with the import module working very slowly when I first installed it, but it has since been working fine. It may have been because it was a fresh install on a brand new hard drive.
If you can, use a tripod and a remote release.
That's funny, Thanks Jerry
Actually, it's the interface that I like better. Being new to digital PP, I took to it surprisingly easy and I find that 11's interface is just a little "user friendly" for my taste. Just a personal preference thing I guess. I don't do a lot of heavy editing, just mainly exposure corrections and cropping and now that I've discovered Lightroom, I use it pretty nuch exclusively, and use either PSE 10 or 11 when I want to play around a bit.
I got lucky and bought PSE 10 about 2 weeks before 11 was released. When it was, Adobe sent me an email and gave me a free upgrade! However, I personally prefer 10 over 11, and now that I've started using Lightroom I use it for the bulk of my PP.

What caught my attention was the phrase "often color overpowers content". Color has become the de facto type of photography, yet for many images, the color component adds very little. Yet most photographers never even consider rendering an image in monochrome. The black and white masters of the past would marvel at the amount of control of the tonal characteristics that are now possible in the digital era.
What do you think. I've posted this photo before, but it is one that I feel shows so much more texture in b&w. Feel free to post a b&W photo.

Nice picture!
I shot this one this evening and much prefer it in B&W.
You won't regret it. Each one is great at what it does, you'll find a use for both of them.
That's the main thing that I'm wondering about. My trial is ver. 4.2, and I'm worried that my CD will be 4.0. As near as I can tell, I should be able to just enter the product key that I get with my CD, and I'll then have the disc if I ever need to re-install. I guess I'll find out tomorrow. Thanks for the input folks.
Here's a question, as I said, I just purchased my copy of LR4 and should receive it tomorrow. Will I have to re-install the software?
