version 3 I found version 4 needed quite a powerful PC to get the best out of it. It seemed to suffer particularly on systems with slow hard drives such as laptops.

They've been around for a long time, and have built up a trusted name as a provider of quality software, particularly in the image editing arena. Photoshop - heard of it? Perhaps the industry standard photo manipulation package, but let's face it a little expensive and complicated for mere mortals.
That's where Photoshop Elements comes in. It's essentially a "cut down" version of it's big brother, so it's simpler to get to grips with, yet still with the powerful engine behind Photoshop itself. Having said all that, Elements is still a little daunting - and you'll realise why so many books, magazine articles, training videos and courses have been written about it - sometimes help files and online tutorials simply aren't enough.
