Elements 10 does give you a proper layers function which once you start using you'll wonder how you ever got by without it.

I have elements 7 and bought Elements 10 when it was on sale for cheap. I like elements 7 better.
Keeping both though, in case I have time to study the fine points of both...who knows that I might change my mind, but for now Elements 7 does everything that I need.
I think you can get a 30 day free trial of upgrades, so you can see whether you want to upgrade or not.

Yes, like francesca says, try the 30 day trial of PSE10. I don't know about PSE7 - does it do layering? If not, then PSE10 would be a great upgrade. You have to ask one other question first. Will your computer support new software. I don't know how many times I upgraded my software and found out that my operating system or computer was too outdated to run the new software effeciently. So a $69 software upgrade could cost you more that you think if you wind up needing to upgrade hardware too. Just a thought.

There still many of us who have to squeek on both - a P&S or a Bridge camera can be and is the limit for lots of us. This is why the "Smart" people at Adobe market Elements programs.

Elements 10 is much better than 7. I have been using PSE 10 for several months, and I like it. Go for it.....you will be glad you did.

Hi, Thank you all for your intelligent and insightful comments. I am not really concerned about the cost but as an "older" technology user I was hesitant to start a new learning process. I am going to order the trial #10 and see how it works. Thanks again to all of you on this great site. Have fun and keep shootin'. Mike

I bought from Amazon.com and the tutorials on you tube work great. I have gotten so tired of trial upgrades with everyone trying to upsale me on new and better (SUPPOSEDLY) PROGRAMS. So I am sticking to one till someone shows me better.
THAT"S WHY I LIKE PICASA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had Elements 6 and moved up to 10 primarily so I could do this to pics; called Out Of Bounds. It could be done w/ other versions but not as easily as on 10.

The tech told me (was not aware of this) that no matter how many megs you camera shoots the PSE 7 would only give you quality of a 10 meg camera. In order to get the full max you have to go to Photoshop (CS) level; dont know if this was just sales bunk or not.
What nonsense. Whoever told you that was full of crap. I hate it when 'experts' tell people stuff like that

"Full of CRAP?" Funny the only picture I see attached to this thread is full of "CARP"---YES, and I still prefer Picasa espcially since it contains NO GIMMIMCKS!!!!!!!!!
