Elements 7. You only need CS if your going to run a studio. You can do pretty much any thing you want or need to do with Elements. When you want more advanced, you can still do it with Elements (also for a lot less cash). You can adjust exposure, white balance (in RAW) ,you can do layers when you become more advanced, remove unwanted objects from spots to people, basicly 99% of what you need to do to make your images look like you want them to look. I would also suggest a good book on the subject like "the photoshop elements 7 book" by Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski. I belive Kelby to be the authorityon all things Photoshop.
