A few days ago i received an email from Adobe for a special on CS4 for Elements users. I am thinking about it, but it might be more than I can adapt to. Anyone here bought the CS and now never use it, due to the complexity of the program?

A few years ago I switched from Elements to CS3. Elements is great software; however, I'd never go back.

CS3 is much better and, in my opinion, easier to use.

I would suggest that you keep both on your computer because there are a few things that Elements does that CS3 can't do as easy.

I have been told that CS4 is almost the same as CS3, but I have never used CS4 so I can't say for sure.

I upgraded as Russ to CS3. I have CS3 Extended. I also have CS4. Personally I prefer CS3 and use it more than 4. I can't remember the time I used Elements. In fact, when I bought a new laptop in September 08 I didn't even install Elements on it.
