| If you already have CS4 you should probably look into LR3. What are the things in CS4 are you unsatisfied with and think you need an a different software? |

| I was thinking of a program for some quick editing. And with this particular issue money is no factor. |

| why would you want Elements 8 when you have CS4? CS4 is the mac daddy (well actually CS5 is)...I would go straight for the LR3, I've played some in it and it really has quite a bit to offer and would enhance my Elements 8 that I have...the other one I'm really wanting is the WHOLE Topaz pkg... |

you follow basically the same steps in CS4 as in Elements 8... |

I would go with LR3, it has some nice improvements over LR2 (getting rid of hi ISO noise is one I've been playing with a lot as well as syncing with Flickr also native tethering depending on your camera)

| I have recently been playing is DPP (Digital Photo Professional - the canon program that came with your camera). I love the colors it gives and you can batch process. Tutorials available to download from the internet to get you started. Might be worth giving it a try and see what you think. |

| LR is great and it is integrated nicely with PS. I do a lot of my editing in LR. I downloaded CS5 but still mostly use LR but the option is nice when I need or want a more detailed edit. |

| You can DL the trial of LR to see what you think as well. |
