Elements is missing some features from Photoshop CS, however there are 
other tools that can help.  I use a combination of Elements 2.0 and The 
Gimp (adds the ability to decompose, and to work with curves).  I use a 
couple of other tools as well, PixInsiteLE and Polaroids Scratch and 
Dust Remover.   PSE is good for colour casts, and sharpening, gimp is 
good for high-end manipulations, PixInsite is good when you don't have 
enough resolution (it's a good interpolator), and PSDR is good for when 
ICE isn't available, though it's far from perfect....
