Program features have become similar to Photoshop. We want to develop the same features

Photoshop is a beautiful, old-fashioned program. It has some features, but the problem is that it takes all your time and you cannot complete the work professionally because the tools have become boring to complete faster. We hope to process some of the tools in templates that will speed up the completion. I am an old user of Photoshop and the prices are reduced.

Pros

We have been accustomed to working on Photoshop for long periods in the field of advertisements and the design of advertisements and images. The program must be developed to facilitate work tasks and speed up the completion of work without delay or boredom.

Cons

Image processing has become extremely boring because there are many commands and tools that have not been solved or developed in Photoshop. Any designer started to get bored of them and searched for programs in image processing that are more powerful and faster in giving the desired goal clearly.Solving image problems without a lot of tools and moving between them has the same features as new programs like ( Luminar neo ) in image processors and hiding and showing images beautifully. This program very easily deletes images and adds images simply and conveniently without the need for a lot of tools like Photoshop which is tiring and Boring to work on

Really easy to use

Not too many camera raw tools.

Pros

It really rhymes with the creativity you have. If you can imagine it then it can create it for you. Really nice features with detailed help where you can search step by step solution to what you need to do

Cons

Despite the great features one thing I felt was a little less i.e. it has limited tools for camera RAW.

PSE - A bargain for serious photo editing.

We are a dog rescue organization. Having attractive photos of dogs means faster and more adoptions. Rescue dogs aren't models and are often difficult to photograph. Photoshop lets us enhance less than perfect photos, which means we can save more dogs from being killed at shelters.

Pros

PSE is fairly easy to use, with considerable online help, and extremely powerful, at a reasonable price. The new AI features which are being added every year, make fixing problems, such as extraneous objects in the photo, much easier than it was before those features were added.

Cons

It still has a learning curve, despite all the online help. Often, there are many ways to accomplish a task, some better than others, which means learning what each does, but which provides much more power to a user who learns the program.

Response from Adobe

Thanks so much for the feedback. Hope all the rescue dogs are doing well and finding loving homes.

Great product, no subscription required.

I have been using Elements since the first version. I also use full Photoshop, so I feel comfortable sharing my feed

Pros

I like owning the product, not having to pay a monthly subscription. In addition to having lots of "guides" to help you do basic photo editing, it has most of the features of the full Photoshop. I also teach Photoshop Elements and the students like not having to pay a subscription. The program is updated annually, but I haven't needed to re-do course lessons every time. I love, love, love the organizer part of Elements. It's very visual and intuitive. It makes it easy to find just the photo I'm looking for.

Cons

Like all Adobe products, there is a learning curve, but the guided edits are really helpful to beginners.

Response from Adobe

Thank you so much for the feedback.

Great program, but very expensive

Pros

Adobe has all the tools you’d like to edit and create amazing pictures.

Cons

The price to have photoshop is very expensive. Many of the features (not all) are available on cheaper and no cost platforms.

Excellent graphics product for non-professional graphic artist.

I've been a user of Photoshop Elements for many years and have watched it grow from a lite version of Photoshop to a quite powerful AI-driven editing tool. Each version has added some very powerful guided edits which can do some quite smart tricks. I am not a graphic designer, by any means, but Elements has allowed mw to do everything I have needed.I have come to depend on the included Organizer tool which catalogs my 60K+ pictures into categories, such as family, friends, places, etc. It's facial recognition finds people, even as they age from children to adults.

Pros

Am easy to use lite version of Photoshop.

Cons

No longer supports direct creation of DVDs.

Amazing Image Editing Tool

i am pretty much satisfied with my experience but if the subscription cost reduces and it gets lighter on system that would be a great thing

Pros

As a photographer I use Photoshop Elements more and more each day because their AI features and instant backup feature helps me a lot in saving up my space and editing an image resulting an unbelievable result. Object detection and picture clearing features are unbelievable in doing their job for perfect picture results.

Cons

The software is a bit expensive and it is not easy for beginners. the software size on the computer is huge and it uses a lot of RAM while processing and for a person like me who do a lot of multi tasking it is hard for me to keep up and my system heats up

The Photoshop Element offers more functionality and play space to work on the image compare to these products. their lower cost comes with lower functionality and the out come of the final edited picture is not so great compared to Photoshop elements

Since its a advanced software one cannot use it directly or if used directly it has slow learning curve. Once you learn it there is no limit.

Best raster graphics editor.

All the organizing and editing tools an ordinary photographer needs are included in Photoshop Elements, and the program also offers in-app tutorials for learning new creative image-editing techniques like digitally pampering your pet photographs. By adding animated overlays, it has increased its capacity for bringing static images to life.

Pros

Pretty cheapExcellent AI engineenhanced support for different file formatsSlideshows and collages are automated.User-friendly and compatible with Macs and PCs.

Cons

Using an Adobe ID to sign in and being unable to modify the size of the Home Screen

Easy Photo Editing

As I Professional Photographer I don't require full blown image editing as I ensure that almost all of my exposures are as close to correct in the camera. Adobe Elements gives me the extra editing for fine adjustments and cropping to size

Pros

Can go from Expert to quick as needed. Occasional use of Guided edits. In expert all the tools I require are easy to access.

Cons

There is nothing that I dislike about this software. From the time I download in organizer to completion of edits everything I need is there. The only thing I notice that Adobe can improve on is the sharpening tool and Blur tool. Both of these tools don't go far enough for the effect that I want. In particular the blur tool does not render what I want blurred even close to blurred. For the sharpen tool I have to rely on other sharpen software to achieve the effect that I require on occasion.

Great Starter.

Excellent. Still going strong after getting the business started and still has uses today. 6+ years now.

Pros

Because this is Adobe, this is the program that got me started on Photoshop (which has a pretty steep learning curve in my opinion) This was an easy jump from the other graphic and editing programs I used and started getting me used to the adobe way of doing things. This is the program that I had initially used for all my marketing and the base of developing my business.

Cons

The only con is if you really get into the design and graphics it's a bit limited in comparison to the full-blown Photoshop. This was great to get me started, and some of my staff that are not Photoshop Wizards still use Elements to complete projects.
