Are you saying that PS Elements is more photo orientated than PS 5.5? I assumed the PS Elements was a new but stripped down version of Photoshop? Just to make things real confusing I have Paint Shop 6 and it seems to be a hell of a lot easier and also I like the file browser it has. I have noticed that even after doing the Gamma Wizard and such, that images on my monitor when using PS 5.5 seem to be a bit to the red side more than they are when viewed using Paint Shop or Arc Soft Photo Impression.
