My new Adobe Photoshop

Oh boy - I really don't do well with change. I've been using Adobe Photoshop Elements for years now and it felt to me like a real old, comfortable shoe. You know - the ones you don't want to part from ? Unfortunately, it happened: The old Photoshop developed some glitch and became unreliable and since I am about as computer savy as a shoe, I decided to purchase the follow-up program, which is Photoshop Elements 8. The principle is pretty much the same as its predecessor's, however, it's supposed improvements are not as user friendly as the basic program.Nonetheless - I'm trying to battle progress and wanted to share some results (clicking on the images will allow you to view them in their original size):
