"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.

"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.

"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

"All of your basic photo editing needs are right here"
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

Like the name suggests, Elements contains just the main elements of Photoshop, to be used for basic photo editing. Resizing, working in layers, correcting color and light are all most photographers really need on a day to day basis. There are no bells and whistles, but most photographers will find what they need in this tidy little program.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Elements?

Some of the folders and commands that are in photoshop can be in a different order in this program.

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

We can'y afford the adobe suite, so Elements is an affordable option that gets the job done.

"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.
