Photoshop Elements users might be interested to hear Adobe has upgraded their product. Not wanting to spend the kind of money required for the full CS package I bought Elements 4 and have been reasonably happy with it so far. I had to patch it up to be able to use layer masks in elements, after that it does everything I need I think. The new Elements 5 upgrade seems to be mostly consumer-oriented features as far as I can see, stuff like scrap book style layouts and mapping (as you might expect).
They have added some editing functionality, not sure of the detail as info is patchy right now at the Adobe Site
Make good photos great with superior editing tools. Fine-tune color, brightness, and exposure using new color curves adjustments; create rich black-and-white conversions; easily correct camera lens distortions; and sharpen blurred edges.
Personally I will be looking out for reviews before upgrading, and even then there will need to be something very compelling!
