Hi all,

I'm currently using PS Elements to manage/edit my photos, but have noticed that others use programs such as PS CS3/4, Lightroom, Paintshop Pro etc...

Can someone summarise for me what the main difference is between these programs, and what would be the better long term investment (aprticularly between the three Adobe products)?

Is there something I have left off the list that I should consider (besides GIMP, as I find that to have too steep a learning curve!).

Thanks!
