No, Shel, I don't mix them up normally. I would use PS5LE for colour and other image manipulation, but usually resize using IrfanView or VuePrint. I find,particularly for the PUG, that it is hard in PS5LE to get a suitable file size while retaining quality. Incidentally, I downloaded the trial version of PS Elements recently, and while I decided not to keep it, there are obviously some common library files between it and PS 5. My copy of PS5LE now contains 'layers' ability, which it never had before! There are other changes too, some of which I like and others not. It's a very cheap way to upgrade though!
