I currently use Photo Mechanic (uberfast for initial workflow) and then Elements 9.

Do a try-and-buy for both, whatever the latest version is.

Elements is powerful with much of what Photoshop gives, but slow on my 1.9g processor with 4GB RAM, and not intuitive at first. Just cropping or changing saturation settings for example can take 20+ seconds to "save." Your platform matters...

I am a hobbyist. I shoot sports and travel in 25MP raw (Sony A900.) Sometimes I come home with hundreds of shots so workflow is as critical as editing, getting down to a manageable number of photos. Photo Mechanic is not cheap, does little editing, but nothing comes close as a valuable workflow tool BEFORE Photoshop Elements, IMO.

Try-before-you-buy! And let us know what you think. I'd like to know what your experience is like. I am constantly learning.
