What is the difference between Adobe Elements 8 Plus and Photoshop Lightroom 2?

Photoshop Elements is essentially a "Lite" or hobbyist version of the regular Photoshop. Lightroom and Photoshop (either regular or elements) do different things and target different audiences. There is some overlap in image editing functions, but the easiest way to describe it is Lightroom is a complete photo and data management solution. Photoshop is not. So it really depends on who you are and what you want to do with the product. Serious photographers generally purchase Lightroom, whereas folks who want basic image editing might get Elements, and for gold-standard do-all professional-level editing you get the full Photoshop. Plenty of people get both Lightroom and Photoshop. For more in-depth details, see the Related Links.

Which photoshop should I get for a Mac OS X 10.6.8?

There is only one Photoshop. There is a Photoshop Elements which is a scaled down version of Photoshop. There's a companion to Photoshop called Lightroom. Many of my friends like Lightroom but I've used it so little I can't comment intelligently for a beginner. You may want to check prices before you ask further. Photoshop and Lightroom are expensive. If you only want to enhance photographs Light room may be the better of the two for you. Photoshop also does graphic design and does preproduction preparation for printing like for magazines or books. Photoshop Elements is more reasonable. If you don't expect to get serious about photography and just want to improve snapshots Elements will likely do good enough for you and it's the cheapest choice.
