I know that PSE has levels, but not curves as opposed to PS which has both so I wanted to gain an understanding of what the difference is between them. I found this link where a number of people have weighed in on the issue and which some of you may find useful.

Sydney, thanks for the link! Quite interesting.

As a side note . . .

Elements has Curves; Adobe calls it -- Color Curves.

helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/correcting-color-casts.html#adjust_color_curves

It is a rather restricted version of Photoshop's Curves, with a simplified dialog box, a few preset settings, and not as many adjustment points.
