So, what features are in PS CS that are not available in Elements or PSP and are CRITICAL (i.e. worth hundreds of pounds) to manipulating your amatuer images?

Cheers Mark.
Don't forget that most of the features used by many of us are available in GIMP or Photfiltre and they are both free downloads.
The problem with GIMP. in my view, is that it is so user unfriendly. The help files don't. Photofiltre is better in that this regard. The main reason I switched to PS 7 was because I hoped it would be cleared in its instruction manual etc.
And by the way, I bought mine on Ebay and payed a much lower price.
