It's true that Elements was marketed as the replacement for Photoshop LE, & for most purposes it's much better, but Photoshop 5.0 LE has one really good feature that's missing from Elements.
The missing feature is the ability to make sensitive, separate adjustments to the red, blue and green channels - i.e. to change a picture's color balance.
I have Photoshop Elements 2 and I also have Photoshop 5.0 LE. For most things Photoshop Elements is much the more powerful & convenient, but when I want to make fine adjustments to a picture's color balance I switch to Photoshop LE. They make a good pair - in many ways as good as the full Photoshop while being more convenient and easy to use.
I strongly recommend that you get Photoshop LE - if you can obtain it.
