Yeah, they are pretty cheap for elements. I've seen some on Ebay for dirt cheap as well. It may be easy to use the program and learn how to crop or change things in a photo. However, there is a definite order in which you want to do things. To fix photos I follow a general recipe: crop/size, adjust levels, remove noise/artifacts, adjust hue/saturation, sharpen, save. There are reasons why you want to do things in certain orders. Message me if you would like to do some of this one night with me.
