i love some of the new features in it over pse5 but hate the interface( it changed radically in PSE6) PSE 5 was so much better that i would still rather use pSE 5. but if you are new to pse you won't know any better. I still have not bought a new version.

I have pse 9 for a few months now and have no complaints. It was easy to switch after using pse8 before.

I have elements 9 and love it. No problems with it at all...

I think it's great!! It does everything I want it to do and more!

Thank you,ladies! I'm sold! Ron's buying it for me! (not sure if it's a 9th anniversary gift or one of those "I'm sorry but can't say it" gifts. LOL! but that's another story) I've been playing with it a little more & have found everything I've tried to be fairly easy & very effective.I'm wondering how well it works with extracting hair.
