Years ago in the days of Photoshop 2.....Adobe themselves were saying that no one person knows how to use all of the programme fully.
It is just too big and even top experts tha appear to use everything are missing out on hidden permitations and feaures.
The years will have only made that more so. Highly specialised there was critism then about the high cost of something that would largely go unused and as such putting it outside the budget of normal folk and folk that could come up with the pennies but did not want to pay for all that.
So Elements was eventually born and the other extreme the CS series which are suites of programmes for those who do want to use much of the features of PS and illustrater etc.
Yep....even in the early days the new improved flavours alays seemd to do away with an old favourite or two and change or disable popular shortcuts.
If you complain they just point out the advantages and fuctions of new improved featurs an extras the new version has and leave you thinking "Why on earth will I ever want to do that".
Elements is still a very powerful tool for our purposes....Why buy and operate a Concorde when a Twin Otter will do the job with a good bit left over

It took me ages to move from Elements 1 to v2 and when I finally did, I didn't like it much
