Customer Reviews
I've used Photoshop Elements since version 2 and I strongly believe it is the best photo-editing program available for under $100. It will do most of the editing tasks that the full version of Photoshop does but at a fraction of the cost. It is the software program I have my "Digital Photography" and "Digital Painting" students purchase for the college courses I teach.
Photoshop Elements is a program that has two basic components. The first is the Editor which is the program that you use to make changes to your photos. The other component is the Organizer which is used to manage and organize your photos.
I've included a video that shows some of the features of the Editor in Elements 11. The interface is probably the biggest difference between version 10 and 11. While new-comers may find the new interface easier to use, it will take me a while to get used to it. (I apologize for the neurotic mouse movements and the hurried pace of the video. I had a lot I wanted to include. If I get a chance I may redo the video.)
If you are serious or semi-serious about editing photos this is the program I recommend. Since Photoshop Elements is based on the full version of Photoshop everything you learn can be easily translated to the full version of Photoshop if you ever decide to purchase the much more expensive program. Granted, the new interface does make Elements 11 look quite different from Photoshop CS6, but the basic commands and tasks are still similar enough to be able to make the transition from Elements to the full version without too much hassle.
The other advantage to purchasing Elements 11 is that there is a lot of free material available online that will help you learn how to use the various Photoshop software programs. Adobe also offers a variety of free video tutorials that will help you learn this program. In addition, there are also a lot of books that will teach you how. Overall my favorite Photoshop books are by Scott Kelby.
Elements also comes with an extensive "Help" feature. This software program can do so much it would take years to learn it all--but fortunately it doesn't take that long to learn the basics.
If you just want an easy program to use to edit a few photos then there are much cheaper programs available. More importantly--there are also many online photo-editing programs that are absolutely free! One of my favorite free online photo editing applications is Sumopaint.
My recommendations to current Photoshop Element Users:
Photoshop Elements 3 - 8 Users: I highly recommend the upgrade to Elements 11. There was a huge improvement between versions 8 and 9 (content aware, puppet warp, and the ability to add masks to layers). If you are using one of these earlier versions I think you will appreciate the new features.
Photoshop Element 9 - 10 Users: If you do a lot of selecting and masking then you might want to upgrade since Elements 11 includes the "Refine Edge" feature that until now was only available in CS4-6 versions. Some of the added "Guided Features" are also nice.
There were also changes to the Organizer interface. I currently have approximately 30,000 photos tagged and arranged in the Organizer. With a click of a button I can easily find any image I am looking for. Some people complain about the Organizer but I love it. I haven't had time to look over the new interface yet--but when I do I will update this review.
- Most of this review has dealt primarily with photos--but Elements 11 is also an excellent program to use to create digital paintings. There is a variety of filters and styles that you can use to quickly change a photograph into a work of art--but more importantly Elements 11 comes with a huge variety of brushes and other tools that enable you to create an original painting stroke by stroke. Purchase a Wacom Bamboo tablet and you will be amazed at what can be accomplished with a pressure sensitive stylus and tablet.
