Are you willing to struggle and learn if so go with Photoshop it does everything. But, if you don't want to take on a huge learning curve go with Elements.
If you ever think you will want to take the next step in photography I would say go for the Photoshop.
My vote go for photoshop elements. It is inexpensive....it can do everything that you would like to do now... and then if you want you can switch to the more expensive software...
Another vote for Elements! You can learn/do as much or as little as you like with this program. If you decide to buy this program, shop around for price. Amazon had decent prices the last time I checked.
I use Picasa. its free online and does most everything I'd like it to do. I cant do any digital scrapbooking, but has many different photo editing, cropping, printing functions. here's a link so you can check it out for yourself http://picasa.google.com/
I would vote for Elements as well. My friend works for Adobe and knows I'm not the smartest cookie in the jar when it comes to computer programs. So I have Elements.
Photoshop elements has a free 30 day trial download so you can try it out before buying... thats what I'm doing right now. I think I have about 20 more days to go.
we do have photoshop adope and for me it is too advanced (i do not have a handbook tho for the programm)
i use now also picasa and i am happy with it but as soon the computer with the bigger harddrive is finally fixed (hubby) i want photoshop elements 5.0
I use Microsoft PictureIt. It came with my computer (for a slight cost) and I love it. It's not as advanced as Photoshop, but it's very easy to use. I don't do a whole lot of editing - mostly cropping and fixing red-eye, but I love it!

I have picture it too and I just love it. It came on a computer I bought about 7-8 years ago, and I've reloaded it on every one I've had since then. It is a great program - simple to use!
Personally I LOVE my PaintShop Pro! I've tried all the others, but PSP is my fave! Of course, that's the one I learned on, so I may be prejudice to it....;)
I absolutely love Paint Shop Pro. I scrapbook, stamp and make cards. I've tried most of the others, but always end up back with PaintShop Pro. You can get a free trial online. It's got all you need as a beginner and then plenty to do once you learn more too. Have fun!:-D
