Does photoshop Elements 3 do everything that Photoshop does?

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

If a person owns Photoshop then would he still need Photoshop elements
3?
Can Photoshop elements 3 do things that Photoshop can't do?

I'm thinking that Photoshop Elements is a deduced feature version of
Photoshop.

No

Almost. The last time I looked, Elements did not contain the curve tool.
That is one feature that I use whenever it will do the job best.
I have the impression from reading posts on this newgroup that Elements does
not provide as many tools for gamut control, and I need to be able to
specify profiles for the montor, the workspace, the scanner, and the
printer.

If you meant "reduced", the answer is yes. However, most of the left out
features don't impact photographers much.

I also read the dock-able toolbar is something only Elements 3 has. What
took them so long?

I installed E3 but it's quite different than 2 so I have yet to figure it
out - a lot of wizards and dumbed-downed things it seemed at first blush.
But the RAW support has to be nice - I'm using CS but hope to try E3 soon.
