Reviews of Adobe Photoshop Elements
Very useful software for image editing.
Comments: I found the software easy to use with some very useful tools. It provides a cut down version of PhotoShop, which can be a bit "tool heavy" for simple editing projects.
Pros:
I really like the fix tools, which provide a useful range of effects to fix poor lighting, contrast, washed out colours, etc.
Cons:
As a Creative Cloud subscriber, I find it incongruous that there are easy to use tools in PhotoShop, which aren't available in Elements, and vice versa.
Alternatives Considered:
photoshop
Comments: a tool that accepts plug-ins and other external templates makes work faster
Pros:
a tool of the century for image editing, in its latest version it offers many advanced options for photo editing
Cons:
there are a lot of options to know when you're a beginner, it takes time to learn how to use them.
Great Tool for Less Money
Comments: It works and it works well. I have purchsed more recent versions over the years as things get updated, but the one time price is nice.
Pros:
It allows you the functionality of full Photoshop without the recurring cost associated with the Adobe Suite.
Cons:
I do not like that they do not allow you to do CMYK color profiles in the elements version.
A great lite version with some limitations
Comments: Overall was good but some limitations were met which made me want to move to the full version of photoshop which i was more familiar with.
Pros:
I like the more simplified version of Photoshop.
Cons:
Some features are a little less intuitive that the full none lite version of photoshop.
Studio level edits right from home
Comments:
It was great once i learned how to properly use. The amount of features this software has even over old photoshop is
Staggering.
Pros:
This is an absolute beast of photo editor the amount of options and presets this software has is amazing.
Cons:
It took a bit of research and watching online tutorials to learn how to effectively use this software.
