In response to the question “Why is it suggested above to purchase Elements 7 rather than Elements 8?”
Version 7 is stable and has plenty of features. I use version 3 mostly

people are having issues with it. until the issues are resolved or a
solution is found, I would go with the version that has proven to work
well.

At least get a head start, the trials are usually good for at least 30 days. You won’t know what you need or what they do until you give them a try.
