You're very welcome. :) I haven't tried PS Elements, but I think these tutorials can be helpful even if you don't follow them exactly.
One of the things I love about PS is how you can brighten a picture, taking it from barely visible to highly cool-looking. However, the tutorial people obviously know how to do this much better than I do! I know! I'm always amazed at what you can achieve with that program. I wish I was as skilled and creative as the tutorial people. Maybe if I have enough good caps to practice on next year... ;)
