For those of you (like me) without the talent (or budget) for the full-blown Photoshop package, Photoshop Elements is a great alternative. With support for much of the full Photoshop feature set for only $99, it's a bargain that meets my needs perfectly. The pre-defined effects (bevels, drop shadows, tints, etc.) save much time fussing around with settings, and the online help is relatively extensive. In addition to the "usual" tools (paint can, air brush, stamps, etc.), Elements also supports input tablets, making it easy to add pressure-sensitive detail to your images.

If you work with graphics for a living, Photoshop Elements probably won't meet your needs. But if you just have modest needs for creating and modifying graphics and photographs, Elements is an impressive package. It continues to amaze me (remember, I don't do this for a living!) with its feature set.
