Step-by-step assistance

The elements apps are marketed towards users that aren’t professional creators or pro-sumer creators. These apps are more for the person that wants a quick and easy way to spruce up some of their snapshots and quick videos for sharing with family and friends. The apps will offer a guided tutorial for creating cool effects in Photoshop Elements. Want to create a .gif out of a waterfall photo you’ve captured on vacation? The Sensei AI will help you with that.

There’s also tools to make photo composites much easier than what one would do inside Photoshop working with layers. Again, the AI guides new users through the process.

Premiere Elements received similar updates in an effort to make those short video clips captured even more artful. Overlays and filters and easy to apply with just a few clicks. Even setting up auto reframe for video to be posted in vertical format online as well as a NOISE REDUCTION tool for video shot in low light.

Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements can be purchased on the Adobe site for $99 each or bundled for $149. No subscription for this version. Updates to new version will require another purchase. Learn more about the new updates on the Adobe blog.
