Wouldn't second monitor support be an OS function independent of the
application itself? Does PSE not let you pull the palates and images
wherever you want on the screen? I agree that the lack of curves and 16
bit support is severely crippling....

Paul, you're right about masks. I just reviewed my PSE 11 install to
check a few things, and sure enough layer masks are supported. But
there is simply a myriad of important workflow things missing, like:
second monitor support; brush flow; 16-bit support; Curves
adjustments; ProPhoto RGB; ...
How could something so basic as Curves not be there?
Brushing with a mouse is almost impossible without adjustable flow. (I
can't use a tablet.)
I'm sure I could eventually adapt to it, probably with the assistance
of some plugins.

From a photographic standpoint, a combination of LR and PSE will satisfy
most needs. You can warp using the skew, free transform and liquify tools
and later versions of PSE support masking directly. You could mask with
earlier versions by linking an adjustment layer to a pixel layer.
Add to that onOne software's Perfect Photo Suite and you have major retouch
and masking capabilities.

None of these packages offer both layers, with all the Ps layer
blending modes, and masks. The fact that Ps Elements lacks masking
completely removes it from contention for retouching, for example.
Even the fact it cannot warp a layer is a show-stopper.
But if you really really must have Photoshop CS and the latest version,
you have no choice but to suck it up and pay for the privilege. You do
anyway if you buy a copy and then keep it updated properly with a
perpetual license.
I don't need the latest version. I need a capable version. CS5 suits me.
My model was to buy a copy then upgrade it after 2-4 years. To compare
to that CC would have to cost me less than $5 a month (forever). The
current model will charge me $20/month forever. Not reasonable.
