Adobe Photoshop Elements is a powerful photo editing and organizing software for Windows. It has a host of features for both novice and experienced users, allowing for complete customization of images.

With its advanced editing tools and its seamless integration with Adobe Creative Cloud, Photoshop Elements is a great choice for any photo enthusiast looking to create stunning images.

Different modes to access image editing

The user interface of Photoshop Elements is intuitive and user friendly. The software is organized into three main sections: Quick, Guided and Expert.

The Quick section: Designed for beginners, allowing you to make simple edits to their photos with just a few clicks.

The Guided section: Designed for those with a bit more experience, offering step-by-step instructions to achieve more advanced results.

The Expert section: Perfect for professional photographers, offering a full suite of professional-grade tools and options.

If you want a good editor, Adobe Photoshop Elements may be unbeatable when you consider the power of the program. Overall power and ability isn't what makes this program great, though. Besides the main program, you get Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer free, a tool for organizing and viewing of images to be stored and labeled all your photos automatically. The photo organizer is similar to ACDSee in many ways.

One of the best features of Photoshop Elements is its selection of powerful editing tools. With it, you can make basic adjustments to your photos, such as brightness, contrast and color balance. More advanced tools can also be accessed, such as layers, masks, and filters. It comes with a variety of artistic effects to help users create unique and stunning images.

The lowdown

Digital image retouching and editing with Elements is simple and easily accessible to the home user. Though veterans of Adobe Photoshop might find this version lacking, it certainly does offer many of the juicy features you've come to expect from Adobe's image editing line of products.

All in all, with the downsides aside, Elements is a capable and useful image editing tool that provides some of the most basic image editing tools from Adobe Photoshop in a smaller and more accessible package.
