Hi. Does anyone know if Elements 5 is any easier to use than Elements 2?

I don't think it's any easier but it sure does a lot more.

I think it is easier. I have never actually used 5, but I have seen it. I have used 2 and 3 and seen 5 and I truly believe all of them above 3 are much easier to use than 2. The interface alone makes it easier.

I read they are working on 6 now

I have 1, 3, and 5.

I hated 3. I think 5 is great BUT I don't use the album/organizer. I tried to use the one in 3 and got so frustrated with it I stopped using the program altogether and went back to 1.

I find to use 5 for image editing is great. I just like to make my own folders and not clutter my head with more procedure.

The only experience I have had is with PSE3 and I use it exclusively. I also use the album/organizer with no problem. I was planning to update to 5, but since Hummi says they are working on 6, I might wait, as I am very comfortable with 3 at this time. Of course, I'm not a designer and rely on the very talented people here.

I learned on 3 and currently design in 5.0. I think there are many more things to 5.0 then in 3. I have really enjoyed the upgrade. My only complaint is that I cannot get Atomic Cupcake actions uploaded in 5.0, I am currently working on this!

Hmm, I didn't think that they were that different, and then when I upgraded to CS2, I didn't think it was that different either.
