Thanks Jeff.
 
I'm going to try the free demon for a month and then I expect I'll subscribe to the 'Photography' Plan.
 
If at some stage in the future I can no longer justify the subs, I can always revert back to Elements.

 
 
I just installed the Demo version of Photoshop CC.
 
Looks like I have a pretty steep learning curve to negotiate 

I had the same impression when I first got it, too 
 
The tuts were helpful getting things going.
I started here and went through the 3 sections - Getting Started, Essentials, Key Techniques:

Then there's this batch: http://www.photoshop.com/tutorials?product=ps

Thanks for the links Jeff, I really appreciate that
 
So far, I've just about managed to customise PS to how I like it, user-defined Keyboard Shortcuts are a great feature. I've also got my Nik Efex and Topaz plug-ins to appear in the appropriate menus.
 
I've also been finding my way around and sussed out how to do everything I could in Elements. Next step is to start learning the rest of it!
 
One thing that's really beginning to bug me though, is how incredibly small and difficult to see (especially with my eyesight) the Tools Panel is. It also doesn't help that whichever colour scheme I set, the icons stay an incredibly drab monotone.
 
Does anyone know if there's any way to make the panel/icons bigger? I've tried undocking it but I can't figure out a way to make it larger. Or how to colourise them?
 
To show what I'm after, here's the difference between Photoshop and Elements (11):
 

 
 

On the Photoshop CC (2014) version there's an option to increase the UI by 200% ..but it's an "Experimental Feature" and has a "use at own risk" caveat.

People have had various issues with it: sporked up everything when going back to 100%, 200% too big/150% would be better, etc

Even though everything is teeny tiny on my monitor (2560x1440) I haven't done the 200% due to the above issues.
If they had a variable slider, or increments of 25% I'd be more open to trying it out.
