"Easy and time saving photo editor and collage maker."
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

Photoshop elements is amazing and has many features like auto edit and auto collage maker. It is perfect for making collages with AI features and auto guided mode. It is light weight and has some great features like slideshows and collage making.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I just don't understand why it is a separate software for doing these things when it could have easily been provided in the Adobe Photoshop software. Though it is working great and nothing to dislike other than this.

What problems is Adobe Photoshop Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

I just use this for creating collages and slideshows. Many other features are also there but I use these common features. It is also providing auto mode so highly time saving and guided edits is beneficial.

"Great For Beginners"
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I like that it already has different templates and presets that you can use and it not only shows you but helps do you specific things to a photo. In my opinion, it is beyond easier that regular adobe photoshop. I picked up this software in no time and did things to pictures that I couldn't do anywhere else! (Like extracting out certain colors).

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I disliked that it made my computer super laggy and would randomly shut down and I'd lose the work I did on my photos but I learned to save them each time to prevent this from happening again. I also feel like some things I did on here made my photos a little noisy.

What problems is Adobe Photoshop Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm now able to give my clients more of what they want. Especially if they want pictures a certain color or if they want me to take out something from a photo and still make it look professional and not be able to tell that anything has changed!

"Perfect Version of Photoshop"
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I love that this is the "Elements" of photoshop. As an early user of Photoshop (I started at 4.0), this breaks it down to the basic needs of a user and is a lot like the original versions. It's simplified and allows an ease of use that may not be available for someone with the full version of photoshop.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

Sometimes it is limited but there are always ways around the limitations if you get creative in your editing.

What problems is Adobe Photoshop Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

Basic editing techniques and photo manipulation. If I need to do quick edits on photos this is the program I go to.

"Simple to use, but deep in function"
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

Photoshop Elements has all the core features you could need. As such, it offers plenty of design options of your styling to learn how to use it. At the same time, the basic functions are quick and easy to pick up. That has made graphic design for the site a breeze.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

Though perfectly suitable for use, the learning curve for the advanced options is quite steep. Unless you've used a previous incarnation of the software, that may put some off.

What problems is Adobe Photoshop Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating PSD templates had allowed me to create a uniform look for my website posts. It had also removed the need to start from scratch with post headers, allowing me to work quicker and more efficiently.

"Free doesn't always mean CHEAP!"
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

The user-friendliness of the software is the most appealing draw for me. It's rich features and intuitive workflow effects are powerful yet simple to implement. unlike Adobe CC, you are not saddled with a perpetual license, making it VERY wallet-friendly. In one sentence it is easy to train a child to use and with a little bit of imagination achieve highly polished results. If you are a beginner and want to see how members of the elements community use the product, links in elements social media platforms like Twitter, and Facebook are there to get you started.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

The unfortunate aspect of using elements is that the software is the free version of Adobe's more advanced photo editing software like Photoshop CC & XD or Illustrator, and lacks advanced formatting features available to CC and other tools found in the adobe creative suite. for instance, you can't do the following *No glyphs, *No 3D modeling *no logo embedding * No rasterizing due to the fact that it is an advanced feature found on the paid/subscribed versions of the adobe creative suite

What problems is Adobe Photoshop Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

If you want a quick fix on non-professional projects, like personal projects, I can use elements. Cropping highlights image improvements etc slide shows

"A powerful program for the efficient editing and organization of your digital photographs. "
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

A powerful program that offers you two important features and functions, one of them is to edit and retouch photographs and the other is that you can organize elements efficiently through its interface, it offers a great variety of graphic editing tools, with multiple options and functions to edit with quality and give you an easy to use options menu, also allows to create great collages, photo and video presentations with incredible detail quality, an important quality is also Create incredible photographs, is to provide options for a editing in an automated way, giving you step-by-step instructions, to adjust the color and exposure and contrast, to correct your old photos, open eyes closed as if it were magic. In addition, you can apply striking effects to give your photos a nice visual perspective.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

Its modern interface can sometimes confuse beginners a bit, despite being from the Adobe family, this program has similarities but with changes of functions in its menu, I recommend having previous knowledge in editing, although this is not an impediment use this software, you will have to use it frequently to be able to know all its functions and everything it offers, and you need computers with good performance and sometimes good internet connection to work without problems.

What problems is Adobe Photoshop Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

This powerful program is based on its brother Abobe Photoshop, but, with simpler tools to facilitate each editing project, it also offers two main functions, which is to be an organizer of elements and an image editor. The two tools complement each other perfectly and you can access them easily through the menu at the top of its elegant, intuitive and efficient interface, which provides a wide variety of tools and a range of options that will help you improve, organize and Share your Photos with friends like a professional.

"Simplified Photoshop"
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

What I like best about Photoshop elements is that it's easier to use and manage compared to Adobe Photoshop. When I was first learning, I used this software all the time then switched to Adobe Photoshop. Another thing that I like best, is how there are so many featured tools for editing so you can create better content.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

Honestly, there wasn't much of anything that I disliked about Elements. It is affordable (which is a big deal to me) and easy to navigate. It was perfect for my graphic design uses.

What problems is Adobe Photoshop Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used it mostly for graphic design purposes. We have a lot of different softwares for each thing so for elements I used it for design. I love all the editing tools that help make each image unique!

"Photoshop Elements Review"
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I love how, firstly, the app allows for you to simply add itself as an editing extension from iphone’s Primary photos app itself- just as if you were going to use “mark up” or edit it within the iPhone photo edit settings.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I cannot name anything I specifically dislike. I can only suggest to keep on making additions to what users can do, though the options are already plentiful.

What problems is Adobe Photoshop Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

With photoshop elements, I can edit out flaws that are too small to eliminate with many photo editing apps within the iPhone. These same flaws are large enough to see and are sore to the eyes. Photoshop elements provides several ways to accomplish flaw coverup, along with helping shine light on an idea that you may not have thought of before. This then leaves you more open minded and with more options than before for your next photo edit.
