Wade, et al,

I have now installed the beta version of Lightroom, and a trial version of 
Elements 5.0.  After one day of experimenting, I am leaning toward Elements 
5.0 for my PS needs.  It allows me to access and store files in the manner 
which I have used in the past, and seems simpler and more responsive than 
Lightroom.  Maybe the release version of Lightroom will be better. In the 
beta version that I have, for instance, the sharpening tool has no effect at 
all.

LUGGERS,

In my digital endeavors, I work with JPEG images, not RAW or the other more 
detailed files.  For some years, I have used Adobe Photoshop LE as my 
editing software.  I am now interested in upgrading, and today downloaded 
the beta version of Lightroom.  In experimenting with Lightroom, I find I 
miss the functionality of PS, but can't justify the professional package. I 
wondered if anyone not requiring work with RAW images has compared Lightroom 
and Photoshop Elements 5.0?  If so, please share your opinions.
