CS2-Did I bite off more than I can chew or need-suggestions?
#17
Yo! Gene! Please don't buy that PSE 5.0 until you've read this and done more investigating!

The version of PSE 2.0 that you've been using could be loaded on either a Mac or a Windows machine. That PSE 5.0 you saw is most likely Windows only. I think the split of platforms started with PSE 3.0.

The last I heard from the rumor mill, a PSE 5.0 for the Mac doesn't seem to be happening; PSE 4.0 for the Mac is the most current version. It does have a lot more features than your PSE 2.0, but, as long as you have PS CS2, I suggest you invest a little more time in it. It can be used stripped down to basics. Just because you have all that horsepower doesn't mean you have to use it. A good book or some tutorials on using layers will be needed whether you update Elements or continue to use PS. You can dumb down Photoshop, but you can't make Elements much smarter than it already is. (I say "much", because there are some addons, but those only make it more like full PS, which you have.)
