Hi
Is elements 4 much better than elements 3.
Is it worth replacing 3 with 4

Any comments

Hi Keith,

You'll probably get as many different answers as posts to this question!:D There are quite a few old threads on this subject if you do a search. As a Mac user, PSE4 hasn't been made available to us. There is what appears to be an enormous love-hate relationship with the Organizer, as well as with the program itself. Run a quick search-it's really interesting to read the debates!:)

Hi Keith,

Carol is right... you will get various views here... some users have upgraded and love PSE4 while others decided to stay with PSE3.

Whether it's worth you upgrading depends in how you use PSE3 and if you'd use the new features in PSE4. There are several additions in both Editor and Organizer, plus some PSE3 bugs have been fixed.

One thing about PSE4 is that you can't use some of the add-ins that make it more like Photoshop. But you can keep PSE3 on your system and use those tools when required.

The best thing to do is download the trial version:

Also, take a look at the PSE4 Learning Centre on this site:
