Elements does not include curves adjustments, unfortunately.  The ICC,
however, might be a way Elements users can linearize their systems without
the curves (or TFs, which may use the same engine internally).

I think full PS is great, but I wouldn't if I were a student.  The initial
expense is a barrier for lots of people.

I agree if it's for image adjustment, but I think it may have a place in a
printing system.
