"Easier than Photoshop 7"
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I love that this is a simplified version of Adobe Photoshop. It is a bit more basic but has a way more user friendly interface!

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

Because it is a simplified, easier version of Adobe Photoshop, you are limited in regards to what you can actually do in the program.

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

We now have users that have less of a proclivity towards these types of programs finding they are able to finally learn and work with graphics!

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

Photoshop elements is a simpler version of photoshop, great for beginners or casual users. It still holds many features, but it gets straight to the point and allows for editing to be done quickly and efficiently.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

After using this compared to Photoshop, it is lacking in some areas. I do use these programs in a professional setting however. Photoshop Elements is not necessarily what I go to every time, but it is definitely worth a try for a more casual user.

Simple photo editing for photos that are already close to perfect.

What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

Easier to use than photoshop and a great platform for beginners to learn how to use photoshop before switching to the full version.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

Inability to do some more advanced techniques so this is not appropriate for an industry professional.

This makes photo editing more accessible to people because it is easier to learn how to use and therefore more people can have the ability to make basic corrections to images.

"Great program. Easy to use."
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I love how all the basic tools are easy to find in the default layout settings. I also enjoy the way that I can search within the application to find any settings or tools that are not clearly visible when you first load the program.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I dislike how expensive it is, although I understand that I am getting what I am paying for and nothing less, so I do not mind completely how pricey it can be.

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

I realized that its cheaper to buy in bulk and you can use Photoshop Elements for a lot of the same projects as you would if you were using flash or dreamweaver.

"Amazing if you're a designer!"
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I loved being able to edit my props for my landscape designs. Really great and easy to work with. Also edited other photos with it as well!

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

Of course that it isnt free, just can't afford to keep it. But it's really a great tool!

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

I solved making a few image props for vectorworks, for 3D landscape designs. It's awesome. Also solved the problem of editing photos for my Twitch account. I like to stream and having a nice profilce page is important.

"Abridged version great for quick fixes"
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

While the full version of Photoshop gives you a LOT more to work with, this version pack a punch with what's included. I found that I could complete my entire workflow without issue on the Expert mode (as opposed to just using it to "Organize" or whatever else).

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I don't like that Photoshop Elements launches into a dumbed-down preset that I have to change to Expert mode. There may be a way to fix this, but I didn't look into it because just leaving it running in the background worked for me (I used it daily).

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

I needed a quick way to edit photos with quality tools.

"Be A Pro instead of paying one"
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I like that you can learn in the process while still professionally editing your own content

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I think they initial trial can be longer. Before I was able to get the hang of it my trial ran out. But the purchase afterwards was worth it

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

We can edit our own pictures and create realistic edits without having to shell out money to third party companies when it’s not necessary

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

Adobe Photoshop Elements is the best program in its field, second only to Adobe Photoshop Pro. Anyone serious about photo editing or photo enhancing but is still new to the whole concept needs to have this program. It's simple to use and a great start down the Adobe pathway. It's a great program for beginners.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

It is not as advanced as Adobe Photoshop Pro and is missing some of the more intense programming power, but it is meant to be a simple photoshopping / photo enhancing program, for beginners.

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

During a normal day at work, people submit anywhere between 50 to 200 photos to me for editing. While I know how to use Adobe Photoshop Pro, using Adobe Photoshop Elements is the perfect quick and easy program I need to do some simple touch up on photos, fix up lighting, crop out the photos, resize everything uniformly, and get them in and out as soon as possible all within the same amazing software.

It contains most of the features of the professional version but with fewer and simpler options, which can sometimes prove difficult when on the go editing on an iPad

"Great basic version of Photoshop"
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

Photoshop in of itself is a pro-level beast with features that most people don’t need. Elements provides a cheaper version that satisfies the needs of most customers, including me.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

Ease of use is still not its strongest feature.

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

Basic editing needs

"Good mobile app"
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I mostly like the convenience and some of the options that are available. I was impressed with the ease of cut out an object and place it onto another layer from a mobile app. I have not had another app perform this action more accurately and with as much precision.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I don’t like that there are so few options but I guess that’s why they have the regular Photoshop app as well. I also think that all the apps should be consolidated into one app. Switching to one app to cut out of a photo then switching to another app to paste that cut out photo takes away from the experience.

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

Being able to use this gives me a way to complete designs at my own convenience and quickly .

"Outstanding photo editing software "
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I really like the auto adjustment feature and the ability to adjust the auto adjust the way I like. When working with raw files the auto feature cuts down on time. Also the organizer is very easy to use allowing quick access to photos for printing. It is feature packed and easy to use you will find it to be great for your editing.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

I don't know of anything that I dislike The software is easy to use and has lots of tools for basic and advanced editing.

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

Faster editing and turn around time allows me to get pictures to customers quickly. Allows me to organize and print quickly and to be able to print packages and Collage Prints.
