If not then go for a better program.
and to retouch skin wrinkles, doesn't it take rather sophisticated tools? the stamp, or healing brush would help, I guess, does Elements have them?
Ispark, have you asked the photographer to go over the editings you want done with you?

PS: I don't think Irvan view has any useful tools for sophisticated retouching.
Irfanview doesn't have sophisticated tools but is that required.
I have Photoshop Elements version1, and it is incredibly powerful, but I believe there is a bare bones version of that, possibly called just 'Elements' It does not have curves. It has levels, and I ain't got the hang of that properly yet.
Whatever program you get you must take time to learn it, or all the extras are pointless.
How did you get rid of wrinkles before PS? All the new stuff just makes it easier, the same as the Prosumer cameras and Point and shoot.
