Elements are an 8 bit system 256 colors, while photoshop is I believe a 16 bit system (65 536 colors). This means that if you manipulate colors in Elements, your image quality deteriorates quickly. In Photoshop it takes more determined effort to screw up your colors. For me 8 bit system is not an option.
