I haven't made any submissions yet seeing as though I don't have the proper software, so I've been shopping around to see what software would be the most effective.

I'm trying to figure out what makes Photoshop CS3 about $300 on Amazon, because I'm not really willing to spend that much money. Photoshop Elements is a fraction of the price; will it still get the job done (threadless-wise)?

I know almost nothing about any of these programs, so naturally I would welcome a second, more experienced opinion on the proper program before I make an expensive committment. Preferably something easy to figure out, as I'm not very tech savvy!
