Adobe Photoshop Elements is the consumer version of the Adobe Photoshop raster image editing product, sold at a fraction (roughly 1/6th) of the cost of the professional product or bundled with related hardware such as scanners and digital cameras.
Originally introduced alongside Photoshop version 7, Photoshop Elements targets photography enthusiasts and thus lacks many features that make it useful in a proper print production environment. For example, Photoshop Elements cannot export files in the CMYK color mode, supports a simplified color management system, and excludes detailed soft-proofing. It also either eliminates completely or offers simplified versions of some of the more powerful plug-ins, along with a number of features aimed at non-experts (such as removing the red-eye effect or changing the skin tone in a picture). An example of a redesigned feature would be the Variations correction dialog. Some versions can, however, open, edit, and save PDFs.

Very good image editor. Fairly complete and easy to use.
In my opinion, its best feature is the photo organizer.
Easier than real Photoshop, it is much more complete (sometimes complicated) than other editors around and so it requires a bit too much Ram and CPU.
I'm still at Elements 3.0. It's a good piece of software but newer versions don't seem to have added much other than bloat. In fact, Adobe removed some features that I was using, such as the simple image editor in the Elements Organizer.
