Many appreciate its powerful features and affordable price point, finding it a cost-effective alternative to more comprehensive software.

This software is wonderful. It does take a lot of experimentation, and training videos are very helpful. So far I have a lot more to learn, but the results I have already gotten make for spectacular finished pictures.

Photoshop Elements is a fantastic photo editing software suite for what most users would be looking for including those who have little to no previous experience. The photobook organization is a bit of a work in progress. Beginner - Adobe has lots of pre canned tools that are super easy to use. If you want to make fancy collages and slide shows to showcase your pictures, the software is very intuitive. The slick photo editing tools, like removing red eye, or fixing problems within a picture is done pretty much for you, simply by selecting the picture, and choosing the effect. Adobe has also included a huge assortment of picture modifications for you to have fun with, like making a picture look as if it were hand drawn, or taken in the 1850’s. If is a ton of fun to play with the software and just create photos, that look like you were a pro. It also has easy hooks into twitter and other social media sites for quick optimized posting. Novice - Adobe has also included a huge assortment of more advanced tools that you would find in the full photoshop product. Advanced photo editing, layering, and manipulation can be done, but there is certainly a learning curve here. You aren’t going to be clicking a few buttons and moving a slider as with the some of the more basic picture manipulation techniques, so it will take some figuring out - but the suite is very feature rich, and will fit the bill for any aspiring graphical artist, or hardcore photo junky. I would certainly say though it is not complicated - after a few hours I found myself quite comfortable moving throughout some of the more advanced tools, but Adobe has done a good job of navigational design, so that those who are not interested in these features, don’t get lost here looking for the basics, and those that do want them, aren’t searching them out. Tutorials - For those that find themselves somewhere in between but want to become familiar with some of the more advanced functions, don’t fret. Adobe has included some great tutorials on using the basic and more advanced tools, that do a great job of bridging the gap in experience. As for the photobook/organizer I found it to be a bit clumsy, but overall decent. For myself at least, I was primarily looking to this software for its photo editing abilities, so the photobook style storage took little away from the products overall benefit. I highly recommend this software for both basic and advanced users - I was very happy with my ability to find myself using the software to do what I wanted within minutes of installation, and a few tutorials later doing things I thought would be way over my head.

I’m pretty well versed with Photoshop and Lightroom, so I was excited to give this a try. I run a food blog, so editing photos is extremely important for the success of my blog. My initial thoughts are positive. There are quite a bit of options upon load, but it made me think this is perfect for the beginner as well as the seasoned photographer. Once you figure out what you want to do with your photos, you’ll really enjoy the features. There are three options when you first get started: Quick, Guided and Expert. Quick provides basic editing options for a photo. Guided provides a before/after option showing the changes you’ve done. It’s a great step-by-step process. Expert allows free range for you to edit the photo in anyway you want. This is essentially the keys to the castle, if you will. Another feature is the Organizer feature. This like it’s named, will organize all the photos based on year, people (will recognize faces) and places. Please be aware that this can take a lot of time pending how many photos you select. Although the face recognition isn’t 100% accurate, it’s very impressive. The price tag is far better than the full Adobe Suite products, so I’d recommend this as a start. There are a lot of great features, but it’ll take some time getting well versed. The photo I uploaded is a before and after of an edited image. The one on the left shows before and the right is the after. Enjoy!
