CS3 versus Elements9

lollymri Jan 21, 2012 5:22 AM

I have always used Elements9 for photo editing. However I now have an iMac with CS3 installed on it. Should I download Elements9 on it for use OR should I use CS3? In other words, which is the better of the 2?

Thanks

Lolly

CS3 is more powerful although Elements 9 is more up to date and has some unique features. So they should both compliment each other. The other thing to bear in mine is that the most current version is CS5 and that will soon be replaced by CS6 and you won’t have an automatic upgrade route should you wish.

Thanks 99jon. Should I upgrade to CS5 now?

Actually there has been a change since 99jon posted that link on the other thread, but the pricing has still not been made public.
