I ordered a couple of books on Elements 5.0 which came pre-installed on my laptop. I've just discovered an offer to buy CS3 at half-price (because Elements came with my laptop), which of course I snapped up, before the offer expired!

I had already ordered a couple of books on Elements (before I knew I was getting CS3), + the books have now arrived (they look very good). I have to either pay for them or return them within the next day or so. Now to my question .........................

Are the principles of CS3 the same as Elements, only there's (obviously) more to CS3? i.e. Should I keep the Elements books - will the advice + processes still work the same on CS3?

Urgent advice on this please 'cos, altho' the books look very good, I don't want to keep them if they don't relate to CS3.

TIA.
