those filters will be those present in elements when you hand over the money for it I suspect. Disabled from the demo to prevent someone cracking the time limit (if it has one) so as they don't get it all for free.
2 things though (for elements 6) that I have found are that it does not come with a layer mask, nor with suitable curves editing - however these two nifty filter addons will give you both features for free

free layermask
free curves editing

Quote: I only wanted a basic editing programme - re-size, etc. but it would be useful to have more than a few options open if I choose to buy. Help required - frustrated with Adobe Support site!

Gimp - Latest version linky.

Does everything you want...........and lots more, and it's free. I've been using it on one of my laptops as it's only 80mb on the disc (no bloatware). I'm also using Gimp portable from a USB stick with my netpad, it's excellent.

Thanks very much for all your comments and quick response to my question. Bit confused about different replies but confusion may rest with me! I was referring to the filters listed in 'Effects' on right hand side i.e. ink outlines, chrome, etc. (Filters on top of programme work fine, i.e. saturate, hue, etc.) I have checked the Helpline and it states not all filters work. Still seems a lot to me not working. Maybe will try freeware as suggested.

Yes mine is a paid for version.
They're not that expensive if you shop around and as most magazines do tutorials for Photoshop I'd guess it would be the most useful programme for someone learning the black arts.

You can follow the Elements and Photoshop tutorials with GIMP with little trouble and there are a lot of tutorials on here and other parts of the Web, where most of the beginners tutorials have been converted into GIMP speak where it is different.
GIMP comes with Curves and Layer Masks as standard

John do you have the Virtual Photographer filters? They can be useful, especially wih the ammount of adjusting available.
