I love it on a list such as this with people owning tens of thousands of
dollars worth of rarified German camera gear and moving a lot of money gear
wise back and forth who don't want to spend more than in effect $99 on their
in effect darkroom. And this actually might mean lifting a pinky finger to
finish an image they've made with camera gear many a pro would kill for.
For two decades now Photoshop has been the basic tool for anyone doing
anything in digital photography. You get a digital camera you get a copy of
Photoshop. Kids instead of going out for recess in school stayed inside and
played with Photoshop filling the rooms they have filled with Macs.
Then it got harder to pirate copies and upgrades much of this died down.
Any photographer I ever knew we'd meet for lunch the first topic which came
up was what the latest things we've been doing in Photoshop. Easier and
better ways to do things with our pix. A better sharpening scheme. A better
way to make selections. You name it.
Its a bit ironic to see it come to this.
People buying an image sorting database and calling it Photoshop.
People bunching Elements and Photoshop into the same category.

My advice would be to sell a few bodies and lenses you don't really need and
be a big boy and buy a real copy of the new Photoshop CS5.
A thing any kid would do if they had the money.
