    Elements DOES have layers.... not so sure about channels, but a lot
    of what you can do in Elements involves layers, just as in
    Photoshop. The advantage I have found in Elements when teaching is
    that the learning curve is much easier and faster. Partly because it
    does less, but that less is generally the bits anyone who isn't into
    graphic design doesn't really need. 

    I can use layers and add backgrounds, depth to letters, etc. I just
    went to adobe.com and checked, since I have been running Elements 3,
    and the new Elements 6 still incorporates layers according to Adobe.
    And I agree - I can't imagine working without them, once you
    understand them! The 6 version also says it will let you easily
    separate an object from the background, which could be very helpful
    if you wanted to shoot on white and then insert a computer-generated
    gradient background. I see the price has come down too... hmmm....
    maybe it is finally time to upgrade!

    (I also have a very old version of Photoshop, and just could not
    justify the cost to get the newest version, versus the cost of
    Elements, which it turns out does everything I actually need to be
    able to do)
