Photoshop LE versus Photoshop full version?

In another forum question, (click here to read it), a member asked for a recommendation for a Photoshop tutorial book. Im sure this question has been asked many times before but remember we all have to start somewhere.

Thinking about the question last night, I realized that after using various versions of PS for a while now, I find more and more that I do 95%+ of my PS work with PS LE.

To explain further, I am one of those photographers who will open a file, adjust levels of various areas, maybe use the crop and unsharp mask tools occasionally and maybe even less, a quick use of the clone tool before putting a thin line around the print to hold it together where necessary.

I am one of those photographers I suppose, that likes to get as much right in camera as possible. Not that I object to other people in general using every tool and filter on each picture but its just the way I prefer to work.

PS LE loads quickly and has less menu items to plough through to find what I want, are just two of its main credentials. Thinking about it, maybe the main reason people find full versions of PS so overwhelming for such a long time, is because it can do too much of what most of us, if were honest, will never use.

Would anyone else like to comment on this?
