Hi Deryck, Junk is highly subjective and so is sharpening.

Each software has it's benefits in this department, Elements is only supposed to be a basic version of Photoshop and Ps has it's limitations with sharpening.

I am not sure I would describe either software sharpening as junk, however, for real sharpening you have to delve a little deeper.

I would bet that PSE and full CS6 use the same sharpening algorithms but maybe CS6 has a few extra bells, whistles and twizzles.

Sharpening looks fine to me.

I suspect the original report of issues is down to user error ....... Over sharpening is a common error!
