[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1000281, member: 59143"] I have never used Elements before. What does it not do that you need it to ? I really think that if you can afford Lightroom, you'll love it. Be aware though, version 3 is going to look a bit different than the current version 2, so you might want to hold off on purchasing it until 3 is out. If you're in school, or know someone who is, or if you're an educator, there's a great website which will grant you half or more off the price. Registering is a bit of a pain, but well worth it. Lightroom 2 is now 99$ with free shipping. The only catch is, your school has to be participating, and you have to prove you work or go to that school.

It is becoming so powerful, editing wise, that many people don't even bother using Photo Shop anymore. Of course it doesn't have the full range of plugins that Photo Shop does, but if you're not heavy handed with the post processing, (I'm talking major crazy S) then Lightroom can do everything you'd need.
