    Beth: (and others who use elements in preference to the full-on
    photoshop) 

    I was just asked to help teach someone photo-retouching for jewelry,
    and she wanted to know if she could get away with Elements instead
    of Photoshop. 

    I've known Photoshop since it was a toddler, so my natural
    inclination is to say 'get the full thing'. I've never used Elements,
    and after reviewing a list of 'how it's different', I concluded that
    it simply couldn't handle most of the tricks I rely on most. 

    So, my question to the elements users out there is this: How do you
    deal with the lack of layers and channels? Most of my bedrock
    techniques rely on layers or (and/or) adjustment layers and channels
    to do...anything. How do you deal without them? (Imagine trying to
    forge a sword without an anvil or hammer. I imagine I could
    (eventually) get it done, but it'd be a much longer road than it
    could have been.) 

Regards,
Brian Meek.
