[OM] Photoshop5.0LE - worth having?

        I would welcome some comments/advice on the merits of PhotoshopLE.
Thus, I am hoping shortly to buy a scanner and a printer for my recently assembled computer so that I can play with some of my photographs, as well as scanning and printing paper documents (ie the Scanwit does not meet my needs). But I am not inclined to seriously consider buying the full version of Photoshop without much more experience of scanning photographs - it seems to be agreed that it is good, but it is a lot of money. However, I find that some printers come with Photoshop5.0LE bundled with it for about UKP150 more than the next model down eg Epson Perfection Photo 1290 cf E.P.P. 890. I certainly do not need an A3 printer instead of an A4 version but like the look of 5.0LE - which does not seem to be available separately according to the Adobe website. The alternative bundled software on the cheaper printer is sometimes PhotoDeLuxe. Assuming that my chosen scanner is adequate, one thing which I know I want to do is to reprint where I can see that detail has been lost in the standard printing process eg pictures of a lunar eclipse where no details of the moon's surface are visible on my consumer grade prints but I can see them on the negative using a loupe. So, would Zuikoholics expect a beginner at scanning to be able to benefit significantly from having Photoshop5.0LE?

PS. Have you noticed that Eudora 5.1's spellchecker offers 'sinkholes' as an alternative to Zuikoholics???
