There is a big learning curve to effective image editing.
Elements has many auto functions and will be easier to use.

Re: Photoshop - which version or element??

I would download and try Adobe Lightroom, seems this maybe the next best
thing to what you want. Free at present in beta versions which are
updated regularly.
