When paired with the sister application (Adobe Premiere Elements 2018, review coming soon), these two applications will make your digital life the envy of your friends. If you take pictures, Adobe’s Photoshop Elements is one of the friendliest and least expensive way to manipulate, catalog and preserve your media. If you use an Apple device, you will have to go into Settings for the Camera app and choose Most Compatible rather than High Efficiency.

At the moment Elements does not support the HEIF format although a patch has been promised. iOS 11 introduced the HEIF format (High Efficiency Image Format), a container that gives greater compression to your images so you don’t run out of space on your device.

This happens on both the Mac and Windows versions of the application.Īnd if you own an iPhone or iPad that you use to take pictures, you might not be able to edit the images in Elements on either platform. What’s weird is that once the window is on the non-primary monitor, any attempt to resize the window causes the application to snap the window back to the primary monitor and the window is maximized. Elements always opens on the primary monitor, but you can drag the window to your secondary monitor (or any other you might have connected). First, there is a weird problem if you use multiple monitors. So what are the quirks?Īs great as Photoshop Elements is, the application is not without any shortcomings. When you are done, you can share your creation in the usual places. You can apply artistic effects like watercolor rendering, transition effects like dissolves, and add your own soundtrack to the results. Now that you have a nice, clean library of photos, the Slide Show tool will allow you to arrange the images into a presentation. It will even change image formats, like taking all of your PNG files and converting them to JPG. So now that Auto Curate has pointed out some image flaws, do you have to edit each image individually to fix those problems? Good question! And the answer is “of course not” – Photoshop Elements also offers a batch processing mode that will allow you to select a group of photos, apply transformations (resizing, corrections and other adjustments) and output the results to another location to let you choose whether they keep the old or new. Here’s the before (from our wedding 8 years ago).Īnd after running the Open Closed Eyes tool. There is even a smart tool which will take a photo where the subject’s eyes are closed and will open them.

It can also help identify faces plus tag images with any kind of data – including EXIF data coming from your camera, and all delivered via smart tools. In the 2018 edition, Adobe has added an AI tool called Auto Curate which will examine the images in your library to point out possible flaws like composition, exposure and focus problems. The tool allows you to view, rename and manage your library. Photoshop Elements also provides an excellent way to organize your images through the Organizer tool. At the end, I removed the extraneous colors that scanning a less than perfect photo introduces, adjusted the brightness and contrast, and finally sharpened the image. Tools like spot healing to remove lines, blur to smooth out imperfections and dust removal to get rid of spots, each tool making the image just that much better than it was.


First I cropped the image to highlight my Dad and not necessarily the table. I selected each step that seemed appropriate to the picture I was working on. Once the path was chosen, a step-by-step guide came up on the right side of the screen. From the 10 or so guides that came up, I selected the scratch and dust removal guide. There are dozens of options, but since this is a black and white image, I limited the choices to that type of guide only. After loading the photo in the application, I switched to the guided mode.

Photoshop Elements offers a “guided mode” which allows you to choose a path to enhancing your images. What you can see immediately are the scratches and discoloration that happens when a picture sits in a shoe box for 65+ years. The following photo is my Dad when he was 4 years old and growing up in New Jersey. Most were in pretty good shape, but some were scratched and dusty from years of storage. When my father passed away I helped to clean out storage at the house I grew up in, and along the way, I found a treasure trove of old photos from when my Dad was far younger than I ever was. In order to decide whether Photoshop Elements would help or hinder, I wanted to take a real-life example.
