Digital Prints

From a high-quality, digital printing point of view, the main drawbacks to Elements are:
(1) its rudimentary color management function where Photoshop is much more advanced,
(2) no 16-bit or camera RAW image support where there is in Photoshop, and (3) only
elementary CMYK color support, which is where Photoshop really shines.
However, it is possible to get very satisfactory results from Elements without the tremendous
learning curve and sticker shock associated with the full-blown Photoshop that, honestly,
is just too much for many to handle. Elements sometimes comes bundled with other
hardware or software, and one secret that many don’t know about is that it also supports
some full-version Photoshop plug-ins that work on RGB images.
