[QUOTE="nickt, post: 506423, member: 4923"] I used PS Elements for awhile. As said above it is very user friendly. I never warmed up to it though. I tried LR and I loved everything about it. Organizer too, it just felt right. I am still far from an expert at LR though. Everybody is different. I kept Elements around for the things LR can't do. Eventually I broke down and got the monthly CC photography plan (LR and PS). I'm not comfortable with full PS of course, but since I'm paying for it, I make an effort to use it as needs come up. LR is my main program. For your question of PS or LR, I would say as a beginner, maybe the question is LR or Elements or both. Or consider the cc photography plan if it is inexpensive in UK. Adobe is squeezing everybody to the cloud anyway. Just look at their website. Individual software products are buried. "Choose a Plan" hits you in the face. Before you do anything, I would spend a few days or more watching training videos. Plenty on youtube and on the adobe site. Don't worry about learning at first, just sit back and watch what these programs do and how they work. Look for the intro and getting started type videos. Then download a free trial. 30 days goes fast, so don't try everything at once. [/QUOTE]
