PSP7 and PS Elements

[memphishooter]

Is anybody using PSP7 and Photoshop Elements and have enough familiarity to show any advantages one over the other in photo restoration? I am conisdering using Elements because Photoshop itself is better, but dont know how much better Elements would be for this. Any ideas?

There is plenty of functionality in PSP that is not in Elements. Unfortunately I have lost the message that told what they are, but I believe Curves is one of the features missing. It was plenty enough to make me thankful for PSP.

PSP is a very robust program for the money. I have not seen any convincing evidence, even from pros, that Photoshop is better for anything.
