Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the ease of use and abundance of features in Photoshop Elements 2023 & Premiere Elements 2023. Many users found the software intuitive and helpful for various projects, especially appreciating the available tutorials. However, some users mentioned a learning curve, particularly for those transitioning from other Adobe products. The software's comprehensive toolset was highlighted as both a strength and a potential source of initial confusion.

    I bought this and was satisfied with the expert mode and quick mode. However, after also buying affinity photo 2 later i think that affinity photo is a much better software with the AI and feature set. I haven’t tried the video software yet! If your a beginner or does not want to edit too much and change a whole lot then this adobe software is for you but if you want to edit a lot more and take things more professionally then you should buy Affinity Photo 2 instead of PSE23.

    Lots of features, lots of tools, lots of things to learn how to do. Read that as learning to do on your own. Limited explanation of what tools do what. Good software for mid to advanced skill sets.

    Overpriced but works

    It's not a fully featured Premiere or Photoshop, but it's robust enough to fulfill basic needs, like YouTube and video essays. What I don't like is that much of the interface is so different compared regular Photoshop that it can be a bit confusing to find certain items. But once you get ahold of things, the interface works well enough. I do think it is overpriced. Yes, it's Adobe and they're good programs. But they're too expensive for having to pay yearly subscriptions. There is no reason or excuse good enough to compensate for this. It's straight money grubbing. Other than that, good programs.

    Easy to use and download. It has great features and makes it easy to use. It will take time to learn, but worth. I haven’t had any major problems with it.

    The image editing is great and the motion addition is awesome! The video editing is missing a crop feature. You can only zoom in and pixelate everything. There are free web based applications that allow you to crop and reduce the resolution but this paid program doesn't have it?!

    Quality photo editing is a skill. This software accelerates your progress. I do find it a little bit hard to use. There are good videos, but the interface is not intuitive. The results you eventually are good. But be prepared to spend some time watching tutorials.

    Comprehensive software includes skill, photo, and video editing, and a very nice easy to use import and organization tool. Many options and learning to use is challenging, and will take some time. The results are well worth it. I enjoy, not having a subscription, and while it may not do as much as other Adobe software, it’s more than enough for my needs.

    You will need to watch some YouTube videos on working the more complicated part. I used the quick video section and that helped me get the project completed quicker.

    While it is definitely not user friendly, particularly for those new to photoshop; once you begin to understand it, you discover that you can do so much with this program.

    It's a great choice for beginners in photo editing. It's simple to use and the guided instruction make the process quick and easy to understand. It did not change much over the years but can do the work for basic purposes.

    So far, software is much easier to use than the old version it is replacing. It was difficult to get through the download security protocols to get the software, but Best buy offered the best price.

    I purchased adobe photoshop to help me with photo editing and it works very well. Premier is very easy to edit video and helps if you are in creating videos just like a pro.

    I use photoshop for my photos and my work. And yeah, if you're going to supply photoshop on your laptops, it need to be the full version not a temporary version.

    Good program with lots of features for photo editing . Difficult for the beginner to get started. Program needs to have an optional beginners interface that is more intuitive/easier to get started on simple tasks.

    So far so good. It is pretty complex, there was a learning curve for me, but once you really see all the things you can do with your photos on this program, it is worth it in my opinion. Highly recommended.
