From Wikipedia

Adobe Photoshop, or simply Photoshop, is a graphics editing program developed and published by Adobe Systems. It is the current and primary market leader  for commercial bitmap and image manipulation, and is theflagship product of Adobe Systems. It has been described as “an industry standard for graphics professionals”  and was one of the early “killer applications” on the PC.

Adobe’s 2005 “Creative Suite” rebranding led to Adobe Photoshop 8′s renaming to Adobe Photoshop CS. Thus, Adobe Photoshop CS4 is the 11th major release of Adobe Photoshop. The CS rebranding also resulted in Adobe offering numerous software packages containing multiple Adobe programs for a reduced price. Adobe Photoshop is included in most of Adobe’s Creative Suite offerings.

Due to its popularity, “photoshop” has become both a verb to refer to photo editing and a genericized trademark for graphics editing software. Photoshop’s popularity, combined with its high retail price, makes Photoshop’s piracy raterelatively high.  Adobe countered by including SafeCast DRM starting with Adobe Photoshop CS.

Adobe Photoshop Elements is the consumer version of the Adobe Photoshop raster image editing product, sold at a fraction (roughly 1/6th) of the cost of the professional product. It contains most of the features of the professional version but with fewer and simpler options. The program allows users to create, edit, organize and share images, all from the same product.

Originally introduced alongside Photoshop version 7, Photoshop Elements targets photography enthusiasts and thus lacks many features that make it useful in a proper print production environment. For example, Photoshop Elements cannot export files in the CMYK color mode, supports a simplified color management system, and excludes detailed soft-proofing. It also either eliminates completely or offers simplified versions of some of the more powerful plug-ins, along with a number of features aimed at non-experts (such as removing the red-eye effect or changing the skin tone in a picture). An example of a redesigned feature would be the Variations correction dialog. Some versions can, however, open, edit, and savePDFs.

Photoshop LE (Limited Edition) was Adobe’s consumer raster image editing product prior to the introduction of Elements. Photoshop LE had similar limitations to Elements.
