Adobe® Photoshop® Elements 11 — the 1 selling consumer photo editing software* — helps you edit pictures with powerful, easy-to-use options and share them via print, the web, Facebook, and more. Live in the moment knowing you can easily turn your everyday snapshots into sensational photos.

 

As the name suggests, Photoshop Elements holds all the essential tools taken from its larger sibling, Adobe Photoshop and for most people, is more than enough to produce stunning looking images.

If you delve deep enough, you will probably find that you don’t actually need the full version and because Photoshop Elements comes in at around a tenth of the price, it really is a no-brainer for many people!

Not only that but should you decide you are ready for the full Photoshop experience in years to come, the learning curve is not so great as the tools are very similar.

So, let’s have a look at Adobe Photoshop Elements 11.

When you first start up the software, you are presented with a screen that asks if you want to manage your images, or edit them:

Organise/Edit

Choose to organise and you reach this screen: 

Choose to edit and you end up here:

Let’s stick with editing and see what Adobe Photoshop Elements has to offer.

Once you load an image into the software, you have three choices open to you from which to work as you can see on the top of the image above, Quick, Guided or Expert. As you would think, each one has a different level of features depending on your workflow.

The quick selection gives you a bunch of quick and easy fixes for your image including all the usual suspects, exposure, colour, levels, balance and sharpen with the addition of “smart fix” which does a lot of the work for you.

Quick Tools

On the other side, you have the more in depth tools such as selection, whiten teeth, remove red-eye, spot healing, crop, text and so on. More than enough here to make most adjustments to your pics. Once a tool is selected, you are then presented, as you would expect, with a multitude of finer adjustments for each one such as brush size, text type and so on. 

Fancy a little more guidance to help you get started? Choose the guidance mode, here you are presented with a whole host of excellent features, adjustments and effects tools:

Guided Tools

 

Once you select one of these from the right bar as in the image above, you are presented with a very helpful guide as to what that particular tool does…lets choose everyone’s favourite, levels: 

 

Once you have read up on how this works, click the “Create Levels Adjustment” button, fill out the next dialogue box to create a new, named layer and you are presented with the same levels tool that you have in full Photoshop: 

 

Make your adjustments and Bob’s your uncle! The same applies to each feature and some really do go into great depth with regards to what you can do. I can guarantee you will spend a lot of time paying around here as you learn what each one does…the world is your oyster!

Next, we go to expert mode and this is where the interface starts to look more like the full Adobe Photoshop. You have a very similar looking set of tools to the left:

Expert Tools

Once a tool is selected, you are presented with yet more choices on the bottom navigation and below that, more tools which are permanently on display in expert mode:
