John, I work with Photoshop and Pagemaker in the context of producing high-quality print documents for the university library where I work. I don't usually do the layout, but I must provide all of the high-desnity images that get used during the layout process. None of the folks who work on these things would consider Photoshop Elements adequate to what they're doing. They're great for home use and small applications, for folks who want to take their digital photos and print them, or to do modifications of photos they scan. But when you're dealing with the high resolution and high density materials required to send large documents to an offset printing press, the Elements program is not the one professionals choose.
