    An powerful application with significate capabilities for handling photos. I'm never used any Powerpoint application before, so getting up to speed was slow, but worth it in the end.

    Works very well as a photo editor. I needed to replace an older version of full Photoshop but did not require many of the features of that, so Elements fit the bill perfectly.

    Have used Adobe for several years and really like having the download copy vs. The yearly subscription. Purchased from amazon and could never get the access code.

    Still my favorite photo editor

    As a photography hobbyist, PS Elements is the perfect editor for me. I have used Photoshop for the past 18 years, but 10 years ago I realized that PS Elements could do all I needed to do, without the labor-intensive editing of full-fat Photoshop. For 2022, there is not much new for simple photo editing since the previous version of Elements. There are some very clever guided editing features that will be especially useful for those who post to social media. I appreciate in particular the ability to extend the background of a photo with a single click. I have yet to experiment with motion overlays, but the ability to add falling snowflakes, smoke, or sparks to a photo looks very intriguing. Expert mode is of course where there are all the editing features. Layers, histogram analysis, selection options and transformations are all there. Usually, there are several ways of performing the same task, because the result with one tool may be better than with another. New for 2022 is further refinement of the facial adjustments: not only can one open closed eyes and create smiles, but now one can tilt, rotate, and elevate the head of a subject. This is very slick. I have been able to transform some ordinary shots into works of art with the artistic effects. These are quite beautiful. You will want to use a computer with a fast CPU, at least 8gb RAM, and the ability to input with a stylus is a definite plus, but not essential. Please note that I was not able to install this program on a Surface Pro X, and there may be problems with Macs that have the M1 processor. If you already have PS Elements 2020 or 2021, you may want to look closely at the new features in 2022 to see if they are useful to you. On the other hand, anyone who has been working regularly with an older version of PS Elements would not go wrong with upgrading now to the latest version. PROS: - Full-featured photo editor, IMHO best in class for consumers - Fun and very satisfying to use - Multiple options for fine-tuning all aspects of the digital image - Excellent printing options - New features for 2022 work well and are useful, particularly for anyone who is posting photos to social media CONS: - With flexibility comes complexity, and it takes some time to learn the fine points - Works best on high-end computers; fast CPU, >8Gb RAM, hi-res display - May not work properly on computers with ARM processors

    So glad I bought it. I didn't even think I could buy this outright, I thought I had to get a subscription. So happy to have it.
