Bin of PSE 8 migrated to the latest version 10.
The main reason was the possibility of layer masks. Was already possible in the Vesion 9. But to me the one-year rhythm is personally too fast. After two years of the bill is perfectly ok.
The version 10 has other many nice new things to offer.
Have time to time flirted in the past few years with Photoshop CS 5. When colleagues from the photographer is often looked over his shoulder and then worked himself with.
After I'm back at my computer, I'm glad to have only 10 PSE. Easier, much much cheaper for a Armateur like me totally easy ausreichend.Macht only fun, personally for many years my favorite program. Can not say the PSE slowly as often criticized. Have a good middle-class computer running fast and stable good.
My recommendation - Buy !!

PSE 11 now on the market. Understand Adobe not to bring a year in late autumn a new version on the market. Will change in no way at this moment. Major drawback of PSE 11 my hand is now the gray background.
Found the black background still "really great". Somehow professional way, and sat down with it on Photoshop.
Suddenly no longer available, even funnier: Photoshop CS6 now has this black background. You can even change it back to gray.
Not possible to change In 11 PSE. A request to Adobe, even with PSE to program to change the background color of the opportunity.
