Adobe brings more AI-powered tools to Photoshop and Premiere Elements 2021
A new Guided Edit will help you create perfect landscape images.
Photoshop and Premiere Elements 14 add editing tools and 4K support
You can pretty much mark your calendars for it. Every year in mid to late September, Adobe reveals its annual update for Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements. This year is no different as version 14 of the consumer-focused photo and video-editing apps was just announced. While Adobe was careful to fine-tune existing features for the software duo, it also tacked on a handful of new features. In Photoshop Premiere Elements 14, there are tools that removes the blur caused by camera shake with a click and easily rid landscape shots of unwanted haze (see above image). With Premiere Elements 14, you can now view and edit 4K footage to keep those vacation videos looking top notch. If you're looking to give the pair a go, both apps will be available for $150 total when they're ready for action in Q4 of this year. For beginners, that cost is significantly lower than Adobe's more robust Creative Cloud subscription.
Photoshop and Premiere Elements 13 deliver new editing tools
Adobe has been diligent to announce updates to its Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements offerings in late September, and this year is no different. With the arrival of version 13 of both bits of software, there are even more easy-to-use editing tools for both photos and video clips. In Photoshop Elements 13, Photomerge Compose allows you to quickly snag objects from one snapshot and place them in another, blending color and lighting to make for a realistic final product. The app will also suggest a smattering of crop options to fine-tune compositions, offer Guided Edits, allow you to "nudge" selection boundaries and it serves up a handful of options when a single effect is selected. To boost your video efforts in Premiere Elements 13, Video Story lends a hand with editing footage from major life events. There's also quick clip selection, Shake Stabilizer to make the most out of shaky action cam footage and Guided Edits to help with titles and effects. Mobile device syncing got a boost across the board as well, and Elements Live provides tutorials, support and inspiration from right inside the apps. Adobe is set to ship Photoshop and Premiere Elements 13 in Q4 2014 with a $150 price tag.
Adobe announces Photoshop and Premiere Elements 11 with new filters, more beginner-friendly UI
Earlier this year Adobe announced Photoshop CS6 with a new user interface, and now Elements, its line of beginner-level products, is getting a facelift too. The company just introduced Photoshop and Premiere Elements 11, and while the two apps include a handful of new photo- and video-editing features, the bigger story is that they're designed to be less intimidating to newbies. Both have a more readable UI, for instance, as opposed to the old theme with the dark background and low-contrast icons. Things like preview thumbnails have been brought to the forefront so that they're easier to find. Also, both pieces of software ship with a re-tooled image organizer that puts commonly used functions front and center, with lesser-used features like keyword tagging hidden in the menus. The organizer also now has Google Maps integration, so you can view your shots on a map. You can also for the first time view by event, or by the names of people tagged in photos. As for new features, Photoshop Elements is getting a series of new comic-inspired filters, including "Pen and Ink," "Graphic Novel" and, yes, "Comic." Photoshop Elements now allows European customers to upload photos to Cewe, while Premiere Elements supports Vimeo uploads. (Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, Shutterfly and SmugMug sharing were already built in.) Amateur videographers will also enjoy a series of new Hollywood-inspired filters, including Red Noir, a "Sin City"-esque effect with red accents, and "Pandora," which is meant to evoke "Avatar." Finally, you can use Time Remapping and Reverse Time to speed up footage or slow it down, respectively. Fans of the software will notice the pricing hasn't changed: the two apps cost $100 each, or $150 as a bundle. Folks who are upgrading will pay $80 a pop, or $120 for both. Look for both on Adobe's site today, with the old-fashioned boxed software hitting retailers soon.
Photoshop Elements 10, Premiere Elements 10 now in the Mac App Store
Announced by Adobe back in September, Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 are now available in the Mac App Store. Photoshop Elements made its official Mac App Store debut with version 9 earlier this year, but this is the first time Premiere Elements has appeared in Apple's OS X storefront. Photoshop Elements 10 has the same underlying app engine as its bigger brother Photoshop, but is released with a smaller set of tools and features designed for the consumer. The biggest improvement in the latest version of Photoshop Elements is the addition of content-aware tools that let you easily replace a portion of your image by selecting it or brushing over it with a Smart Brush. Similar to Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements is a scaled-down version of Adobe's professional video editor Premiere. Premiere Elements is designed to be a video editor for consumers who want to create home videos quickly and easily. It includes several one-click tools to correct flaws in a video, an InstantMovie builder and export support for Facebook and YouTube. Both Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements can be purchased for US$80 each from the Mac App Store. [Via The Loop]
