What people say about Adobe Photoshop Elements 13
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. Plus, since Photoshop Elements is based on the full version of Photoshop everything you learn can be easily translated to the full version if you decide to purchase a subscription for Photoshop CC (Creative Cloud). This is the software I have my students purchase for the “Digital Photography” and “Digital Painting” college classes that I teach.
The new features in Elements 13 include the 64-bit installation if your computer is 64-bit and a few other features. I actually haven’t noticed the difference in speed from 32-bit to 64-bit. Perhaps I will later if I do any bulk processing. Otherwise, the “Photomerge Compose” feature is probably the top one and it does make it easier to copy people and objects from one photo to another. In addition, Elements 13 now has the “Intelligent Crop” feature which shows you some different cropping choices. As an advanced user I don’t find this that useful–but perhaps others will. There are a couple new “Guided Edit” features and some new “Effects Variations.” In the video I show how you can use one of the new Guided Edits to remove all but one color.
