Adobe Photoshop Elements 12, the consumer version of Photoshop CC, remains at the top of its class in photo editing software. Significantly less expensive than Photoshop CC, Elements assists users in making typical photo alterations and basic edits, like fixing "red eye," "cropping" a picture or correcting minor blemishes. Elements is extremely user friendly -- and helpful -- in that it breaks edits down into three categories: QUICK, GUIDED and EXPERT. Elements has so many photo modification features that can be made to a photo that the list is exhaustive. There is no doubt that Adobe Photoshop Elements can help even the most novice photographer end up with a professional looking photograph.

WHAT’S NEW?

  • Auto fill edges: eliminates having to use the 'Crop" tool to trim the extra canvas off.
  • Content Aware Move tool: moves an entire object or person in the photo.
  • Zoom Burst effect: adds a "burst" of movement to the selected object or subject, so cool!
  • Quick textures: intuitively adds textures to the photograph.
  • Restore Old Photos: expertly repairs old photographs by using a series of tools and features.
  • Updated Effects: add preset "Comic," "Graphic Novel," and "Pen & Ink" filters to pictures.
  • Mobile Albums: access and edit photos from the "Organizer" on one device using the Adobe Revel app updates the photo everywhere.
  • Pet Eye Correction: removes the discoloration, typically "red eye" or "yellow eye," in pet photos

LIST PRICE:

Elements 12 will cost $99 or $149 when packaged with Premiere Elements video editing software.

Some leading online retailers are selling Elements 12 stand-alone for $65.

OVERALL THOUGHTS:

There is no rush to upgrade from Elements 11 unless you have a massive amount of old photographs to restore or you are just a software junkie and must have the latest version. If you are a first-time user, Elements 12 is worth the price. This program is great for instantly posting photos on your favorite social media sites, sharing them in "shared albums," and viewing them on your smartphone.
