I'm fairly new to photography and with no professional photography training, I'm learing as I go, using books, sites like this, etc. My fiance bought photoshop elements 7 for me on christmas since I had just bought my D40. As I keep learning and reviewing the "post production" articles, I find that I can't do everything due to Elements. My question is: can anyone explain to me what the difference between the photoshop, photoshop elements, photoshop CS4, photoshop lightroom etc are? As someone new to photography, which one would be better?

Any help would be appreciated.
