Photoshop Elements vs Photoshop

I have never used Elements so I asked Photoshop GPT for the differences. This was its reply.

Photoshop Elements

Best for: Beginners, hobbyists, and casual users

Key Features:

Simplified interface with guided edits for common tasks like removing backgrounds, retouching portraits, or creating collages.
Automatic features powered by Adobe Sensei AI (e.g., sky replacement, one-click effects).
Includes Quick, Guided, and Expert editing modes.
The license enables you to use Photoshop Elements for a full 3-year term. It’s a one-time purchase with no additional fees. The license is non-renewing — it expires 3 years after redemption. When your 3-year term license expires, the Photoshop Elements Editor will no longer be accessible. However, you'll still be able to access your media catalog in the Elements Organizer indefinitely.
Lacks support for complex editing (e.g., smart objects, full masking tools).
The icons and menus are a subset of Photoshop’s. In learning Elements you are on your way to learning Photoshop.

Limitations:

No CMYK support (for professional print).
No smart objects, advanced masking, or pen tool.
Fewer filters and no access to the Generative AI tools like Generative Fill.
Not suited for high-end professional or print workflows.

Best for: Professionals, advanced users, and creative teams

Key Features:

Full access to advanced tools: Layers, masks, smart objects, pen tool, and adjustment layers.
Includes cutting-edge Generative AI features (e.g., Generative Fill, Generative Expand via Adobe Firefly).
Full compatibility with CMYK, 16-bit, and professional color workflows.
Integrates with Adobe Creative Cloud apps (like Illustrator, Lightroom, and XD).
Frequent updates and cloud sync.
Subscription-based via Creative Cloud.

I found a mistake in Photoshop GPT’s analysis, which I corrected. Please take this with a grain of salt.
