What's the difference between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements?

I have photoshop elements 6.0 and I'm trying to do various things with it. I really want to make my own comic, but it seems everytime I Google how to do it, it just comes up as photoshop. What's the difference between the two? Which one is better? Are there things that you can do on one that you can't do on the other?


Thanks in advance! ^^What's the difference between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements?
Photoshop is generally the entire CS version. It is a professional program, and includes a wide array of features that the average home user wouldn't even know where to start with.





Elements is a stripped out version of Photoshop CSx. It includes only the easy to use features that home users can get their head around. Whereas Photoshop requires some sort of training to effectively use, a somewhat savvy user could get a handle on Elements with regular use over a week or two.





Photoshop CSx is significantly more expensive. It runs upwards of $600 dollars. Elements, you can pick up for around 100 bucks.





If you want a program that does most of what Photoshop can do, only is free, go with GIMP. It is more advanced that Elements, although not quite on par with Photoshop CSxWhat's the difference between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements?
Photoshop has photo editing tools, some graphics tools and a better choice of art tools than Elements does. But neither its graphics nor its art tools are considered professional quality so Photoshop owners who need those things also have Adobe Illustrator and Corel Painter. PS is also capable of pre-print color separation and a few other things involved with post-production stuff. After you learn how to use Elements, you can usually figure out the workarounds you need to do Photoshop tutorials. How are you doing your comics? Drawing and coloring? Graphics?





If you plan on drawing/painting, why not use a dedicated art program?

With a difference of about $400 it should be obvious that there is a big difference.
