Lightroom v Elements - Convience me to buy Lightroom

bren2002

Hi

I've got a trial version of Lightroom, it's a nice interface. But convince me why I need to make the jump in €100's from my copy of Elements to Lightroom.

Is there an in between option that's worth shelling out for?
Christmas present depends on your answer!

Worlds apart IMHO. Lightroom is fantastic for managing and editing hundreds of images, in a non destructive way, Photoshop is more suited to advanced manipulation of individual images.

It's under €100 for the student/teacher version.

Make the most of the trial period, try and figure out all the features yourself (they're well documented all over the web) and then make your own mind up.

Elements has an organiser too though.

Did you get that on Amazon?

Anyway, as jpb1974 says above, as you have both in front of you now, it should be very easy to decide.
