I got this to replace an older version that was 4 years old. While I love the out come of the photos I edit and the easy of use on this updated version. It will freeze up often. You can't even x out of it when it does this. You have to go into task manager to close it out. For some it may not be a big issue,but when your a professional photographer and have a lot of clients, this can become a big issue when you have to start over every 20 to 30 minutes. When using some features it will actually show another photo behind the photo your working on that isn't even part of the photos you are doing,showing red and green splotch squares all over the photo. Unless you undo the edit it will stay that way. Also slow running. think I will go back to the original version I had. I have tried reinstalling the new one to be sure it wasn't a mess up in the installing but same issue. I would still recommend just because once you get the photo done it looks amazing!

I used to use the full fledge Photoshop back in the day, but it's overkill for what I do with creating flyers, webpages, and banners (good ones) and some quick home movie stuff. I have On1 Photo Raw and Final Cut Pro if I need to get granular with things, but Elements is usually the easy, quick fix that can get the job done and look outstanding without having to learn all the intricacies of a real professional program. Elements will guide you if you're a novice or let you drive if you know exactly what you want. Love this software. The flyer posted here is done with Elements.

If I was limited to only a handful of programs on my computer, one of them would be Photoshop (Elements or Pro). If you expanded the list only a little, I’m taking Premiere Elements, too. I can’t hide my love affair with Adobe’s photo and video programs and these two represent the best value for me, a serious hobbyist. “Photoshop” has entered the dictionary because of its unique capability to modify photos, yes, even change reality, in ways that result in stunning art or deception, if that’s your intent. No software does it better, and with these new versions, none makes it easier. EASE of USE: Unlike so many high-end photo and video editors, these don’t require you to take college extension courses to learn how to use them effectively. I insist on using these applications with minimal reading of the guidance, and I still manage to generate fun projects. If you’re still using Photoshop Elements 15 or older, so much has changed in the (53) Step-by-step Guided Edits that you owe yourself this gift of time and effort saved. This is a great collection of easy-to-accomplish tools and edits. For those of us with more recent upgrade versions, it’s a bit tougher to decide, but I can easily recommend the upgrade, if only for the Auto-generated creations. I get to show off, and it takes me little effort. Adobe has continuously improved and added to the guidance and automation (or WIZARDS) features of both of these products. You can Auto Create collages by selecting from a library of templates. There’s a Meme creator. You can even turn your photos into sketches . . . on different simulated paper types and with pen or pencils. Adobe has improved the “Organizer” App which finds your media, and it’s useful. FEATURES: This is your “photo emergency room” dedicated to recovering and correcting picture problems. Do you have bad lighting, faded images. scratches, noise, dirt, closed eyes. stranger in the background, poor exposure, ex-boyfriend you want exed out? Fix’em all with photoshop. Elements can manage your scanner to digitize your photo albums. (Did you know almost every printer/copier is also a photo scanner?) It will help you bring back old family photos and make them look like they were taken yesterday. Premiere Elements has its own useful set of automated movie making processes to simplify your life. Premiere will create a structured story, auto-create a movie, or generate a video collage, all with a selection of styles. You can let Premiere select media, start with a template, add titles and do some creative editing. SUMMARY: Most Photoshop Elements or Premiere buyers, if they’re like me, decide how often to upgrade, not whether or not to buy these applications. I use them often enough that I can usually justify the purchase because I’ll take all the new features when I can. You may feel differently. In any event, this is a photography tool every serious photographer falls in love with.
