Can I do in "Adobe Photoshop Elements 2024" everthing what I can do in "Adobe Photoshop CS2"

I want to buy “Adobe Photoshop Elements 2024” and I’m asking me, if can I do everthing what I can do in “Adobe Photoshop CS2”.

Probably yes. Why would they remove features?

I’ve probably been using photoshop over 15 years now and can’t think of a feature I used having been strictly removed. Sure things move around or change, but it’s in there somewhere.

A better question is, what are you looking to do with Photoshop, and is there a cheaper/better option potentially? Photoshop is definitely the best image editing tool out there, but there are definitely better painting tools for example.

What for cheap better alternative do you know? I like Photoshop very much and the Elements 2024 cost only 50-80€.

Well you need to answer the question: what are you looking to do with Photoshop?

That said I didn’t realise they were offering non-subscription Photoshop options agian.

The Adobe Photoshop Elements 2024 is without an abo-subscription!

Yes I gathered that already. Can you answer the question?

I want to create or edit 2D-sprites.

Pixel art or something more high-detail?

For pixel art Aseprite is the go-to program, and much cheaper than Photoshop while also getting all ongoing updates.

For painting there’s tons of tools out there, Krita being a good and completely free option.
