Photoshop Elements or CorrectPhoto?

Good Question! It is one I ask myself on a regular basis because I use both.  Like many of you I consider myself an Advanced Amateur photographer and an Amateur Photoshop Elements user.  So, for me the decision is based on what the photo needs to be a good photo.  If all it needs is to be cropped and color corrected  (two editing task all digital photos need) I select CorrectPhoto because it is so quick and easy, particularly the OneClick color correction. Here are three articles discussing the use of CorrectPhoto for the most common photo editing tasks.

Here's what Jacqueline, Charlotte, NC said when she bought CorrectPhoto:
"I downloaded the free trial, and I love it, it is easy, quick and fast to operate.  I would recommend it hands down especially for beginners and those who do not want to spend a lot of time editing photos, but instead doing what you love which is photography.

A Spearfish Canyon Snow Storm-Read the Story
My friend Bill forwards a photo taken by his neighbor after a 48 inch snow fall at his cabin in Spearfish Canyon, SD and asks, "How do I get prints of this?" Before I told him where to go (to get prints, that is) I decided to fix the photo.  So, I opened the photo in CorrectPhoto, cropped to 4x6 format and fixed the color by clicking on the grey snow shadow under the roof. Total Elapsed Time: 17 Seconds.  I added the title with ImageTitler and that added a little more time, but a lot less than trying to figure out how to add a title in other photo editors, at least for me.-More-

Photoshop Elements Users Turns to CorrectPhoto---WHY?

Because it is easier and faster to do what you need to do!
(Rotate, Crop to size, Color Correct, Scale, Fix Red Eye, Sharpen)

And, the color is better and the photo is sharper!

A True Story
Some time ago a customer
dropped in to visit and ask a few questions about iCorrect EditLab Pro plug-in he uses with Photoshop Elements.  As he was about to leave I asked him what kind of image editing he does in Elements and he replied, "I basically crop, usually to a 4x6 format, and color correct using EditLab Pro and take the files to my local camera store for prints." -More-

An Easier and Faster Way
"Hmmm", I said. "Let me show you an easier way". I launched CorrectPhoto and proceeded to show him fast and easy it is to crop and color correct and turn average picture into a lasting memory.
(See how easy it is to turn and average shot into a great shot)


What Every Digital Photo Needs. Read the Story
In my opinion, every digital photo needs, as a minimum, to be cropped and color corrected.

The Story of the Tall Ships  Read the Story
My wife and I went to Duluth, MN on Lake Superior to see the tall ships during a maritime celebration.  Well, as we arrived we saw the line of people waiting to tour the ships and decided not to do that.  So, from across the bay I took a few photos with my old Cannon G5. After looking at the photos I decided to do an experiment to compare the basic editing process of cropping and auto color correction between CorrectPhoto and Photoshop. Here is my "unbiased" comparison. -More-

Bashing Elements??
No, I am not criticizing or bashing Elements. It is a terrific photo editing program and I use it when I have to.   However, when I edit my photos I use CorrectPhoto because typically all I need to do is crop and color correct and Elements is an overkill and too complicated and time consuming.  And, frankly I get better color with OneClick Color Correction in CorrectPhoto and the cropped photo is sharper.
