we converted our desktop and laptop from Windows 8.1. You should be able to
find Version 14 for about $60.00 or less if you shop around.

I agree 100% with you. I have the Elements 13 and may update to version 16 when it comes out. I skip a few versions waiting for them to give us some thing more useful. They dribble out a bit her and a part there and then charge $100 + with each new version. If I had taken that money and purchased Adobe Photoshop CE in the first place I would have done better. But I could not see spending $400 to 600 dollars up front on CE.

The only thing I would add is that I could not get Photoshop Elements to get the pictures out of my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 smartphone. When I plugged in the USB cord all it did was charge up my phone and Elements could not find the smartphone to download pictures. I ended up removing the SDHC mini card out of the smart phone sticking it into the SDHC Carrier Card and putting the SDHC card into my computer in order to get the pictures off the SDHC card. I got some of the photos but none of the movies into my computer this way.

But I can get all the pictures and video out of my Canon EOS T2i camera easily with Adobe Photoshop Elements 13.

The most recent version of Adobe Photoshop is version 15 right now.
