Well,

Here, CS6 = € 955,60 and PSE10 = € 99,27.

Difference = € 856,33.

That's only part of the story. Just think about the upgrade price every 2 or 3 years...

There are many differences, too many to list really, but here are some of the major ones:

1. Elements comes with the catalog based Organizer. CS6 has the file navigation based Bridge.

2. The Elements Editor has stripped down versions of many of the same tools that CS6 has. Same tools, fewer options.

javascript:;

3. Elements Editor has Quick and Guided editing modes to simply workflow to the most basic needs.

4. Elements does not support CMYK and has very little support for 16-bit images.

I think the best answer for someone who is asking as a shopping comparision is what adobe states in their own side by side.

Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

Thank you all. I have now sorted it out.

I'm told this case is still open, how do I close it?
