[roughy (Mark)]

Is anyone able to advise what Photoshop can do for final image processing that Elements and Corel cannot.

At present I have extemely limited experience with processing. I possess a copy of Elements but really only use it as a library and to touch up very old family photos.

Am reluctant to pay for CS5 if Elements or Corel have the same tools and the same principles can be applied with the final processing of astro images.

Thanks

Mark
