No. There is a lot more to Photoshop than selection tools. I don't even know
if LE has color range or not, but I understand it does not allow access to
the separate color channels for editing.
Photoshop is such a comprehensive program that it takes some commitment to
learn it, even the capability that one person uses. I doubt that very many
users use the great majority of what it offers.
