Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great program. I bought this to update and previous version. This was cheaper than going through Adobe. Lots to learn, instructions leave a little to be desired

This was the first new photo software program that I have purchased in ages. The previous ones that I used seemed to be simpler to figure out. As is typical these days, the items comes with no real instructions. I guess you are expected to search for YouTube videos to learn how to download, edit and organize photos. That said, I'm just starting to figure out all that the program is capable of. My opinion will hopefully change once I get more used to Photoshop.

I have elements 12 and was expecting more of a upgrade. I think I will wait for elements 20 for my next purchase.

I've used earlier version of elements on windows PCs. I now have a MacBook Pro & searched to find something comparable to Elements. I was happy to see I could use it on my Mac. Best version ever

As with any new program, you have to learn how to use the tools that are available on it. It gives you many opportunities to edit your photos and do so many other projects with them.

I am able to improve the color, remove some items I do not want in the photo. Improve the color and clarity of old photos I have scanned.

Found this photo editor easy to use, but I had used previous versions of Elements. The "content aware" fill feature is really nice.

I wasn't ready for the CC version of Photoshop I purchased so I kept using Elements 9 because it was easier. PSE 15 has a ton of functionality for the pro-am and is less expensive.

Best Buy always has what I need [with the exception of one item]. Friendly staff. Well laid out displays. Clean store, restrooms, and parking lot. Well lit parking lot.

My original photoshop and Elements 12 went bye bye . I'm lost without photoshopping creations and so glad I found and purchased Elements 15 which is really much better!

I bought this for my mother who has used regular Photoshop for many years; after using Elements for a day, she went back to regular Photoshop - saying that Elements has less functionality, and that although it tries to make some complicated tasks easier (e.g., turning someone's frown into a smile), Photoshop was much more useful.

Overall this is a good piece of software. I think the features could be easier to implement, but overall it works great.

Excellent program. However, it doesn't give me quite what I want and is not as intuitive as I would like. Need a tutorial.

Adobe packed a feature rich photo editing, organizing, and creative software in its latest offering of Photoshop Elements 15. I have used competitor photo editing software, and can attest that Photoshop Elements 15 is simply one of the easiest, most user friendly photo editing software on the market today. The software is mainly targeted to the budding photographer or average consumer who enjoys taking photos and wants to take that next step in giving their photos that extra pop or wow factor, but does not need the bells and whistles of the full blown subscription based Photoshop or Lightroom Creative Cloud apps. I like that the graphical user interface is very clean, not overly cluttered with tool bars, and is easy to navigate. There are three editing spaces within the program: Quick, Guided, and Expert. As the name implies, the Quick work space allows you to make simple and quick adjustments to photos such as exposure, lighting, color, balance, and sharpening. The Guided work space leads you in a step-by-step process through over 40 of the most commonly utilized edits that most of us would use when editing photos. The Expert work space gives you freedom to control and fine tune to your heart's content. The Guided work space will be most useful for those who are trying to gain familiarity with the program. It makes it easy to achieve your results with several quick clicks on your photos as the program holds your hand through each step of the process. I think the Guided work space reduces the learning curve tremendously without the stress of having to search help menus to figure out which buttons to click. There are so many cool things that can be done with Photoshop Elements 15, just to name a few, such as merging photos, creating motion blur, moving objects within a photo, turning frowns into smiles, and performing batch edits. The possibilities are endless and are only limited by your imagination. I also want to mention that with version 15, you can actually perform touch edits for your photos if you have a touchscreen monitor. I think that is really nice to have especially now that we are so used to swiping on our screens to get things done. Although I have concentrated my discussion on the photo editing features of the software, it is also a photo organizer and creative tool. The photo organizer makes it easy to find photos according to smart tags, people, places, and events. It is also a creative tool in that it can help you create greeting cards, collages, borders, frames, and unique slideshows. I think that this is a valuable and powerful software that is worth the money. Adobe has made the software easy to use and has basically eliminated the frustration factor and time consuming aspect of organizing and editing photos. Instead, it let's you focus on being creative and sharing great memories.

Registration and installation is a pain but this version of Photoshop is all that is needed for the average person.

Adobe Photoshop Element 15 is a great program to work with the enhancement of photos that you take and download. I am very pleased with the software.

Haven't been using photoshop in a long time. A sale Best Buy was having made me want to buy this. I gotta say it really got me back into photography

I use Photoshop for grouping my photos for finding them quicky. I have just started using the Photoshop part.

I previously used Photoshop Elements Premiere so I wasn't sure if I would miss any of its features. I find the basic Elements 15 meets my needs.

I have wanted to buy this for years. It has not disappointed me. This program is vastly better than anything I have used previously. I recommend it.
