Lots of people use multiple programs because some of the tools are
unique. If it were me I would upgrade to Elements 3, a really powerful
and easy to use program. You pay a lot more for PS CS for some added
functionality, but Elements 3 will probably take care of all your needs
for years to come. But there is something to be said for using what you
have.
