Just for fun, you can do this opening the jpeg in ACR:

If you have Elements version 5, 6 or 7, you have ACR, which is the raw conversion module included in the Elements package. If you shoot only jpeg, it is normal that you never noticed it...
However, this module maybe useful even with jpegs, as with this example. I don't remember in which newsletter I wrote about it, I'll check it later.
To be able to take advantage of ACR (Adode Camera Raw), you may have to update to the latest version of ACR.
You can open a jpeg from the editor, from the menu file/open/open as (not 'open'), then choosing the 3rd option 'Camera raw...' This will show you the dialog shown in my post.
If you are interested, tell us which version of Elements you are using, Windows or Mac... so that we can give you the update path on Adobe's site.
Using ACR with jpeg may not be necessary, but it may be very useful with difficult lighting, highlight recovery and fill light, very contrasty scenes, color casts and bad white balance.
