Topic: Photo Shop Elements or CS4?

Hey guys,
I've got PSE from a bundle with my bamboo fun. Just to clear something up for me, is PSE basically the same thing as Photoshop CS4 only with a different looking interface? I understand that CS4 has got a 3-D modeling plugin with it, but is there anything else PSE has/doesn't have compared to CS4?

Re: Photo Shop Elements or CS4?

There are many features it's missing afaik, although depending on what you are doing it shouldn't make a difference, bearing in mind I haven't used a modern (read CS to present) version of Photoshop so I'm not too clued up on current features really.

Yeah, Elements is basically a smaller version of the CS-programes. I'm using CS4, but have also tried Elements 6.0 (that came with my Bamboo, as well), and the range of functions is not the same. For example, the layer effects are slightly different and limited, as well as other filters or functions. It works for the basic functions such as cutting out etc, but CS4 is definitely more extensive.
