There may not be a huge amount of difference between Photoshop 7 and Photoshop Elements 6. Photoshop 7 is I think more than 6 years old, Elements 6 is only a year or so old. There have been a lot of changes since Photoshop 7 was released. If you compared Photoshop CS3 or the newest, just released CS4 to either Photoshop 7 or Photoshop Elements 6 you would see a lot of differences. There are new tools, new panels/palettes, added features, improvements on old features.
The current Photoshop has the pen tool, which I don't believe is available in Elements. I also believe you can't do masking in Elements, at least not directly on Layers, although there are work arounds. So these are just a few of the differences.
