I brought the 2021 version as I wanted more things ‘to play with’ over my 2014 one. It is a little slower to open, but after a few tweaks on my PC, it’s now got going. The main thing is you have the quick and the expert option, so if you’re a beginner you can get good professional results in no time.

As usual with Adobe products, it is impossible to instal without endless and iterative workarounds. You know they want everyone to switch to their expensive subscription products – perhaps that’s why they make it so difficult. I have upgraded several times over the years, with increasing degrees of complication.I first bought an online download from Adobe. That never got off the ground. I spent a whole day with their support people, who were frankly not very logical and one team contradicted the instructions given by another. When they were interrogating my setup by remote, I could see their lack of experience by the number of areas they groped around. So by the end of the day I went for a refund, which to be fair, they gave me with alacrity: they must be fed up with people like me!I next bought a DVD version from keyforrest (cheaper than the online version from Adobe). Countless efforts to instal after endless changes made to permissions etc. Errors 16 seemed to be the main problem. Got as far as 96% installed before failing again. I’ll just stick to PE 2018. (BTW try googling Adobe PE installation problems! The number of YouTubes and specialist websites devoted to the subject only bears out my opening comment about subscription services.)

Includes adobe premier video editor.Pretty demanding of computer resources so I upgraded the RAM from 4GB to 8 GB on my ageing laptop. Also i5 or equivalent processor suggested as 2020 version is more demanding than my old 2011 version .Before you splash your cash it may be worth looking at paint.net which is free with Windows.

A big improvement on Elements 10. Does all the tasks from 10 but faster but as I upgraded my PC it was anticipated. Goid value

I did computing at university, so the inner geek in me was delighted to have a chance to play with this. Obviously since university days, that thing called life has got in the way so commitments have made it hard to be able to self teach myself certain software, however lockdown has inspired me to learn Photoshop plus more! I’m briefly familiar with Photoshop, but this was years ago, so having to learn as a new user again.You get two installation discs (1 for Mac, the other for Windows) Installation took around 20/25 mins to load/register onto my Windows 10 laptop and once installation had successfully loaded i was greeted with a main screen that has many functions for photo editing. The userface is very user friendly for anyone who is not so familiar with Photoshop. The main page allows you to search for a specific function, as well as having titled visuals that demonstrates the photo editing task when you hover your mouse over it, which is handy. It will then redirect you to their website for a detailed breakdown of how to edit a certain way.If you are at beginner level, you will definitely need to follow the user guide as the commands for some of the technical effects isn’t quite straight forward, however practice really does make practice. The userguide is extremely informative and easy to follow however it would be good if there was a way to implement the userguide into the software itself as i found myself flicking screens alot which was distracting alone.One of the features i particularly liked was being able to save and correct an old photograph that had stains and scratches on it. There was a tool that healed away the flaws, which once done you would never of been able to tell anything was there to begin with. There are many features that you can do with this software such as photo calendars, make CD/DVD covers and labels, turn photos into a moving GIF, remove an object from an image plus so many more to name. My current task that i aim to self teach and execute is to edit a picture where i have ‘face swapped’ which is proving to be slighlty tricky but following the guides and tutorials online will easily been done.Overal i think this is a fantastic software to edit personal images. It definitely does much more than any of these apps or basic editors on your phone does, where if you are looking for a bit more of a professional touch up or customization you will certainly have fun with this. It is suited for any level, where detailed explanations are given for those not so skilled. If you love photography or editing i would definitely recommend!

Terrible, terrible stuff. So arrogant in making you, the client, feel you are only being allowed to use this pathetic software, endless signing in, quoting contacts, better bin it.

NOT user friendly. I have used other video editors before which I learnt myself. For this one I had to search on YouTube for help

Install should be easy, it wasn’t, it tried to auto update twice before installing properly. After installing did a restart all ok until I started PSE it then said Adobe needed to update and it took over an hour. I have read on forums there are issues with installing this software on windows 10.Now two weeks on, software is working fine and is really good. As a beginner it is intuitive and easy to use. Have bought PSE for Dummies as well to help guide me.

My old computer crashed beyond repair and with it, my Photoshop. No matter how ancient it was, it served me well. Now, with a new computer, I have Photoshop Elements. It seems to be an all dancing, all singing affair. I’m trying to get my head around it but it’s difficult. I really need a “Photoshop Elements for Dummies” guide that spells out in simple terms the step by step actions that need to be taken. I guess I’ll try and fine an experienced user to lead me through the complexities.

Easy enough to follow but some illustrations do not match what you get on your screen.Probably because my version of windows is different from the author’s.

PSE 21 arrived promptly, was well packaged and was exactly as advertised. I purchased this to update my PSE 14. I was initially reluctant to buy it as it wasn’t clear that it was for both Mac and Windows (the box contains disks for both). Loading was very easy – insert disk and follow the online prompts. Be aware that once you’ve loaded the disk, you may also need to load some updates. I have previously purchased some additional elements, but these did not copy across, nor did PSE21 automatically delete PSE14, so I have two versions on my computer. There are a number of new features, which are really good (eg. add more interesting sky). The initial screen is very similar, although the straighten and crop tools only appear after the basic editing is complete. I have now used PSE21 many times and I have experienced no issues.

Ich bearbeite seit vielen Jahren meine Bilder mit Photoshop Elements. Plötzlich wurde, nach ca. 5 Jahren, mein Programm, ohne Vorwarnung, gesperrt. Ich musste ein neues Programm erwerben. Die Möglichkeiten der Bildgestaltung und Verbesserung der Fotos sind beeindruckend.

I’m still learning, but as my old video editing software died on me I needed something to finish a project. I’ve yet to play properly with the Photoshop side of this software, but if it is half as good as Premier Elements it should be brilliant.

Robert Billing –
Having used PS Elements 5 for around 10 years or more at a fairly basic level for adjusting exposure errors, etc. when taking photos I decided that as I bought a more advanced camera this year I should upgrade my post processing software too. All the YouTube, phoyi magazines and other photographers always seem to talk about using Photoshop or Lightroom but the idea of a monthly fee for using Photoshop or Lightroom does not appeal to me as I am not a daily user, only occasional or monthly one. So when I saw Elements 21 as a one time purchase I thought that would be a better option as it includes many functions in the full version of Photoshop. It it vastly superior to my version 5 but does have one downside for me – all the functions text characters are a lot smaller meaning that I have problems reading the details on my laptop even with my spectacles. As there is so much more that can be done with this version I have purchased the Photoshop Elements 2020 for Dummies book to help me learn all the newer features. I feel certain that I will be as pleased with this version as I was with the older one.

A pretty brilliant photo editing piece of kit. Not utterly technical to master.It allows for intelligent editing which results in flawlessly natural photos and well balanced more abstract and digitally enhanced images.With the simple Intelligent Editing I am able to make one-click manoeuvres, erase distractions and background noise with ease, apply instant photo effects, even face tilt.Im also able to turn my photos in GIFs with movement, I can make shareable Insta-worthy quote cards with my own graphics.Even if you’re a beginner at graphics editing, or more advanced and into artistic creations, this software has been designed to accommodate both ends of the spectrum. From guided photo editing capability, you’re able to learn as you go, without any second-guessing. Or, if you wish, this extra help can be declined.The guided assistance can help create duotones, alter and enhance landscapes, move and scale objects – bringing images more in the forefront, or pushing them deeper into the background. Colour correction is also a breeze with this pretty great piece of kit.Suitable over dual platforms, I don’t need to buy separate software for my Mac/PC, as we are household that use a collection of both for work and home use.++Compatible with MacOS 10.14 to 10.15 and MacOS 11 – requiring 7.8GB of hard disk space with an additional 3GB to download optional content.++Windows 10 version 1903 or later with 64-bit versions ONLY.Not supported on Windows 7 and 8.1 – requiring 7.3GB of hard disk space with an additional 3GB to download optional content.

Comes with a ‘creative cloud’ thing that i dont want,and it would’nt let me delete .Apart from that it’s quite good,not much different from the 2018 version.

After compulsory 2021.1 update both my Wacom tablet pens and Xp-Pen cause the program to crash. Sent crash report to Adobe who appear to be aware of problem but still no response. Program unusable. Worked before the update. Anybody else got the same problem? Update. XP-Pen now working after unchecking Windows Ink box. Adobe have been back to me and are working hard on preparing a fix. Now 4 stars.

Works well but remember this is not the pro version of either program – those are much more expensive and complicated.

Probably the best value you can getYou can switch between an easy and a more complex interfaceI need easyMy son loves the more complicated oneIt’s well designed and should stay issuable for at least 5-6 years – an eternity in computers

I wanted a simple program with layers so that I could draw on my laptop.This trash program only ever succeeds in making my laptop crash. Total waste of money. Do not buy this garbage.

Good mixture of auto correct/guided fixes in addition to manual features of its “big” brother.

This is the most affordable software I have found that allows faces in group photos to be marked and tagged. The tags can be saved in EXIF metadata of a jpeg. The Organiser component is a great help with family history photo media and choosing likely candidates for unknown faces.

I have not used Photoshop in the past as I have been using one of their main competitors for my photo editing needs I had heard a few good things about Photoshop from my friends and it is one of the most common software for photo editing in the market so when the latest version Photoshop Elements 2021 was available, I decided to give it a go.After using it for a few times, I can safely say that it is really much easier for beginners offering most of the key features of Photoshop, on three super useful levels.1. The most important of Elements’ new features, Subject selection uses Adobe Sensei AI to analyse your photo and then automatically select what it perceives as the subjects.2. It has many powerful image-manipulation tools and Strong face- and geo-tagging capabilities.3. It has excellent output options. there is auto-tagging and powerful search options.For advanced users who are moving from a different software, there is helpful guidance to master the advanced techniques.And then there’s this Organizer, an accompanying application to manage your images and create all kinds of (manual or batched) outputsFor a novice, the Quick Fixes are great. If you want to be more precise but still need some help, the Guided approach is truly a boon. And if your familiar with Photoshop (or not) and want to dig in deep, then the Expert Mode will offer you the real Photoshop features and approach. It does all kinds of layers and it can retouch in multiple ways. It can open RAW files and work in high resolution.The only minor issues I felt was that it takes large disk footprint and there is no chromatic aberration correction or lens geometry profiles.Overall, I found it to be a well made software which offers lots of features for any type of user but it is quite heavy on resources.

I had been using Premiere Elements 2011 and Photoshop Elements 2011 for several years.I mainly use Photoshop Elements (on a weekly basis) but would have need to use Premiere Elements from time to time for wider family events.The last time I used it for a major event was back in 2018. All good. A wonderful programme which could import video from my tape-based Canon HDV cameras, edit, add titles, chapters, and output to BluRay. Absolutely loved it.Then Apple upgraded their OS to 64-bit, rendering the programme obsolete. Cue €121 (for small patches) to make the program “compatible”.Tried to import video from the camera last week. The program couldn’t see it, as Adobe have discontinued support for tape-based cameras (incredibly).Their advice? Use another program to import the video (iMovie). Done. The MOV files then start stuttering in the edit timeline. Had to convert them (more cost) to MP4 in order to edit them.Editing completed. Tried to burn a BluRay. Guess what? Adobe removed THAT feature as well. Unbelievably.So now I will have to purchase Roxie Toast in order to burn the BlueRay.Into the bargain there are glitches on the outputted MP4 file.In short, Adobe have butchered a perfectly-working program.Not good enough Adobe.At all.

Bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021 on CD, arrived next day. Packaged exactly as described on keyforrest. This was not an update installation, but a clean first time installation of Elements. I installed the Windows version, but the macOS version is also in the box. Two options pop up – Photoshop Elements or a trial of Adobe Premier Elements. First thing that requires you attention after installing the CD, is signing in to the Adobe site. I have already used the site so I had a password. The installation took 35 minutes. I then entered the SN code. Before the newly installed software opened, two updates were found. A Photoshop Elements update and a RAW file camera selection update. These took 11 minutes to install. That was everything completed, and I did not encounter any problems. Software easy to use and I think its terrific value.

This version of Adobe premier elements 2020 has now started to freeze and not respond during usage. There is no technical support from the supplier to resolve the matter. The Photoshop elements was also not worth upgrading to. Overall I would say that this purchase was a waste if money as the previous versions were more reliable.

I had a free version that I have been using for 20 years! but due to a new hard drive being fitted I could not transfer the program. So, I purchased the full edition, it takes a while to understand the features but there is help on Youtube.

I’ve been using an older version of Photoshop for years so it’s great to have an updated 2021 version as oppose to my older one. I still find the layout very easy, user friendly and absolutely suitable for beginners. Anyone can make their photos look professional with this and with the increasing popularity with sharing images online, there’s more need to make them look decent and impressive!I use this for editing my photos and it has very easy ways to manipulate your pictures and make them exactly what you need them to be, the more you learn how to use it and realise the potential the more you can do and even now i’m learning every day as an amateur user. There’s automatic picture fixes or if you know exactly what you want you can spend more time, editing out things you don’t want to be there, I like making my pictures black and white and then picking out a red dress or red lips to make it Sin City style and so much more, if you can think of it then this will help you to create it and there’s tutorials out there if you need more help.A fantastic program even for beginners, it’s quick and easy to learn the interface and gives fantastic results!

So I absolutely love taking natural light photos of my children in the great outdoors, lighting is often in the wrong place or a child’s hand has gone blurry as they wave it about so I needed something simple and quick to adjust them but also be professional looking.I have tried photoshop before years ago and couldn’t get the hand of it but this new layout and easy to follow guidance has my photos looking great in a few minutes. It has an auto enhance feature making photos pop and stand out at a click of a button.Would highly recommend this to make your photos insta worthy with not a lot of effort !
Andy –
Although lacking many of the myriad features available on the very much more expensive “full” versions of Photoshop and Premiere Pro, these “Elements” versions are ideal for most home users. The user interface is simpler and, with a perpetual licence, you aren’t stuck with the extortionate monthly or annual subscription costs of the Adobe Creative Cloud products.
Honest Reviewer –
I am an artist and have been using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom (CC subscription) regularly for the past few years. I wouldn’t call myself an expert at the softwares but I’m certainly familiar with how to use it and create different effects and results. I have been using Photoshop Elements 2021 to edit my artwork composition images and also edit my designs for branding (ie: colours, adding/removing elements and more).What I found so far is Photoshop Elements lacks a lot of the freedom and versatility that the Creative Suite offers. Though for the one off price I do feel it offers a great range of tools and functionality to get you started on picture editing. I found that the built-in adobe tutorials were super easy to follow and learn from, allowing you to such effects and tools to your project. My personal favourite tutorial so far is the Duotone one where I was able to manipulate the colour scheme of my reference image where I was able to superimpose two contrasting halftone colours to cast a satisfying and eye catching effect.Photoshop elements also allows you to remove details from your original photographs which keeping them natural. For instance, you’re able to remove people who may be in the way off a striking image with just a few clicks of a button. This is sort of similar to the content aware feature found on Photoshop. I love that you are able to directly share/print an image from the software, and even request professional prints (paid) by Adobe via the software. You’re also able to add Camera Motion effects with ease which can truly spice up an image, bringing it to life and making it more dynamic.I do think you’re getting a great starting point of features for those Beginner and mid-tier experienced photographers / photo editors, especially for the price (69.99). Would recommend!Thank you for reading my honest review, I hope you found it helpful! 🙂

I have had Adobe Photoshop Elements on my computer before but it’s an old version. I installed this new versionand explored some of the new features. I have not tried them all but I have played around with Fine-tune face tilt which was fun, it allows you to ddjust the position of a person’s face. There is a perfect landscape feature which makes it easy to remove unwanted objects from the background such as seagulls and pylons.If you are a novice like me and could never get your head around the full version of photo shop then this is for you. This is because all the advanced features on the interface are guided like a wizard. It even shows you before and after so you can commit to the changes or not and fine tune your photos to get that perfect image. The colouring feature on the perfect landscape can make your dull grey weathered photos bright and sunny, it really was fun to play with. It was nice to find some software that took advantage of my 4k monitior and high resolution screen space.Juts to make you aware, it requires 64 bit windows 10 and won’t run on anything lower. I had checked the requirements but this new version seems to need 64 bit as well. It will also work on mac as its dual platform.
