Some Enhanced Editing Features Are Very Quick

Some of this products newly enhanced editing and project features are very fast.
Object removal for one is a fast one step paint the object and its gone.
It is very quick and effective making it especially desireable in production for pay.
The new blur is equally quick and effective.
And its super easy to add depth to you phots and projects with the 3D Model Intergration.
Until you become much more familliar with this or any version of Adobe Photoshop Elements, there is and included guided version that can easily guide you through nearly any project that you choose to undertake.
You can add some effects to your projects with a great deal of ease.
Many things can be created in addition to straight up photo enhancement such as collages, slide shows and reels.
Some of you projects may include cards, and calendars, but your limits are pretty much set by your on creativity.
My dislikes of this 2025 version do not lie with the product but the way it is liscened.
You will not actually own this product.
You will have a three year liscense and its non renewable.
Depending on how heavy you get into your projects and photos and you have another version of Photoshop that is less than five years old, it may not be worth your while to upgrade.
The new features are great to have but its up to you to look it over and see if its right for you.

So You Say You Want an 'Evolution?'

It would not be fall without a new edition of Adobe’s Elements line of photo and video editors. Each annual edition comes with something new along with just enough bug fixes under the hood to try and justify the upgrade. I am always amazed at how much I can do with Elements. It truly is a powerful photo editor for the price. For testing this year’s version, I restored a forty year old photo into an image that looked like it could have been taken this year.
Elements 2025 has a lot to recommend, same as the versions that came before. This year boasts some A.I. driven improvements along with some new overlays and quick edits. I had mixed experiences with the new features, and Adobe’s decision to put a three-year limit on the software license made this year’s release a bit of a mixed bag. There is still enough new here to recommend the program for new users, but buyers should be aware that at the end of three years they will be forced to upgrade to a new version of Elements, or their existing software will cease to function.
Installation: Installation was simple enough. Redeeming my code on adobe’s website I was prompted to download the main file for Mac or Windows. I am running Photoshop Elements on a Windows 11 PC with 32GB of RAM, an NVIDIA 4070 graphics card, and an Intel i7 processor.
I should note that I triggered the three-year expiration at the time of installation. Also, Adobe advised that this year’s version of Elements comes with iOS and Android apps. More on those in a bit.
Experience: Once installed, the user experience has not changed much. Spot healing tools and healing brush may be better than prior releases, or I am just getting increasingly used to the tool. I cannot say for sure. If you have used Elements in the last ten years, you should be right at home. Thankfully, Adobe highlights new features or tools with a blue dot. Elements 2025 is still a powerful photo editor and with traditional Photoshop locked behind a subscription model, Elements is still a great option for many people.
In my experience, there were three big noticeable features in this year’s edition. The first new feature is the A.I. removal tool located near the spot healing tool. This feature is a mixed bag. When the spot removal tool works, it speeds up the process, but it only really worked well when the object was against a solid background or noticeable pattern like tile on the floor. If the object was in a clustered scene with multiple objects around it, the A.I. cannot find a good place to pull its patterns, and the feature does not work very well. But if I wanted to remove my shoe from a photo of my dog sitting on tile, the feature worked great. Either way, this is something I would have done manually in prior releases utilizing the Healing Brush tool.
The second new feature involves the A.I. overlays and textures you can add easily to photos in the quick edit mode. I am not entirely sure how useful these will be to me, but I can see value to folks wanting to tweak their photos for social media. It works well. If overlays are your thing, the feature does an excellent job at identifying your photo’s subject and applying the overlays appropriately.
The final big new feature of this release is the ability to change the colors of objects. And this is another mixed bag for me. I could change the color of someone’s shirt, but the tool created a bit of a mess, and, to my eyes, it never looked quite right. This could just be a feature that I need to practice more, but I cannot say it impressed me that much.
Then there is the Elements organizer app for iOS and Android. I do not get the point of this feature. In theory it allows you to upload your photos from your phone into Adobe’s cloud for easier access or you could make some overlay edits from the app, but I found the experience underwhelming. I already have ways to get my photos from my phone to my PC or cloud and I do not really see the need for this.
The elephant in the room is that this release comes with an expiration date. You are granted access to the license for a term of three years. I understand in part why Adobe is doing this. I personally prefer to upgrade the software every few years to make sure I have the latest features and bug fixes. As PCs and MACs change, it is nice to know I have the latest version of the software for these new processors and machines.
But I often purchase photo editing software for my parents, and they are still happily using software from five years ago. I cannot imagine them, or people like them, being happy with the idea that their software now comes with an expiration date. Same is true for many students and people who are fine with prior releases. I think the three-year expiration date is a turn off. And because the 2023 and 2024 release are still working well for many people, I feel the decision to include a three-year expiration will drive many of those users to stick with their current software rather than upgrade.
It does not help that there has not been much in this new release in terms of features that I did not have in an alternate form in a prior release. Most of these new features were available in prior releases you just had to perform a spot heal manually versus having an A.I. tool to remove objects. I cannot help but feel that many of these features should just be released as a yearly patch rather than a new software release.
Conclusion: This is the best version of Adobe Photoshop Elements. It has a few new features and bug fixes under the hood. Anyone wanting the latest version of the software should check it out. I do not know if these new features along with the three-year term will win over other users. The mobile apps feel like a wasted opportunity. But I am always impressed by what I can do with the Elements line of editors. 3.5/5

Is Elements still relevant these days? Yes, it is.

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
With in camera editors, AI enhancements and cloud-based photo storage becoming so advanced in couple of years, one might question whether Photoshop Elements 2025 is still relevant and useful these days. I previously reviewed Photoshop Elements 2023, and a lot has changed in image management and editing in those two years. But I think Adobe still makes an excellent case for not only being relevant but also for still being the superior standard in image organization, editing and enhancement for people who care about their photos.
The most obvious advantage is the ability to do your edits on a larger screen. Not everyone edits for social media, where the editing screen is the same size as your potential output. I rarely post my stuff to social media, but I do display a lot of my images on large screens and digital picture frames throughout my home as well as printing out pictures for myself and others. Elements is still the best way to do this. And when you’re working at larger scales/resolutions, a desktop is always going to be more powerful when applying filters or effects, not to mention giving you much more control and options when outputting to a printer.
Photoshop Elements also utilizes layers, which enables changes and fine adjustments without destroying the original image. A simple example: my phone allows me to add a color tone effect to an image which is nice and all, but I have to choose from a set list of colors. With an adjustment layer in Elements, I can choose from whatever color I want, and I can even adjust where and how much of that adjustment is applied. Try doing that with your phone. On my phone, I can select an element in a picture to remove and the AI does do a great job. But with Elements, I have much more control over the selection, and I can use masks or edge detection tools – something that phone editors just don’t offer. Phones have some great effects these days and I have made use of some of them. But Photoshop has way more out of the box and literally THOUSANDS of free and commercial plugins available to install. After all, they’ve been doing digital photo editing since it was in its infancy!
When it comes to image management and cataloging, Photoshop Elements again offers some major advantages over cloud-based photo organizers. The first and most important of which is that it is LOCAL and private. Your data is stored on your machines, and you can work with it whenever and wherever you want – even without a network connection. That includes organization tools like facial recognition, tagging and geotagging. Adobe includes tools like cloud AI, but you get to decide whether or not you want to use it. And integration between the editing and organizing tools is seamless and logical.
Is Photoshop Elements for everyone? Maybe, maybe not. If your predominant use of images is for social media posts and you don’t mind using the same filters and effects as everyone else, then it might not be of a lot of value to you. (Even in that case, I think the organizer alone would still be a great tool to have access to!) But if you really care about your photos, their memories and legacy, if you want to display your photos on something larger than your phone or if you want to print images without having to order them from someone at a high cost, then Photoshop Elements is a worthwhile investment, especially at the price offered. I continue to use it and I will continue to recommend it.

Fun Photo Editing with Guided Styling for Easy Use

Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Adobe Photoshop Elements is a great tool for entry to mid-level photography editing and manipulation. It gives you various tools to enhance photos by removing redeyes, fixing skin blemishes, lighten or darken backgrounds or exposures and many other touch ups that will help make the photos more appealing. When you open the application, it starts you out at a home screen that provides many ideas to get started with. Options include creating a blurred effect, adding text, fixing a person’s closed eyes and several others. This start screen is also where you can work with the Elements Organizer tool to import photo libraries, specific folders or individual photos. What makes Elements stand out in my opinion are the other tools that aren’t as common.
Artificial Intelligence is making its way into much of what we do these days and photo editing is no exception. From the main screen there are options that include these things to try such as removing objects that could help put focus on the primary subject or, just clean something up and take off unnecessary clutter from the image. Very close to looking like that other object was never there.
This same main screen can help walk you through how to apply different backgrounds to your photos, create interesting effects such as mixing color with black and white and other actions like creating slideshows or ordering prints. The centralization of these tools helps to make the application easier to use so you’re not searching in a bunch of different places when trying to work on various creations.
For me, an amateur to photo and video editing, I particularly like the guided options that walk me through various techniques. A lot of it is trial and error and I know it will take time to get used to but, I am confident that I can use Elements to help create some interesting photos. I recommend giving this a try for an inexpensive photo editing and creativity option.

Improved Over Earlier Versions - Makes Edits Easy
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I been messing around in Adobe’s latest edition of its entry level Photoshop suite, Photoshop Elements 2025. I have used an earlier version – Elements 2020 for a few years now. I’ve used it to touch up pictures, make some fun edits, and removed people from the background in shots. I'm still pretty new to the software since I don’t use it a ton, but I have gotten more comfortable with it over the years. The Elements 2025 license is a 3-year license subscription – new for this year. Previous editions were a one-time purchase and you owned the software outright. I am not a fan of dropping the outright ownership without dropping the price to reflect the fact that you are leasing the software. Photoshop Elements is still the stepped down version of Photoshop aimed at light or hobby users – for the heavy/prosumer crowd Photoshop Creative Cloud is still the software to choose. time purchase compared to the full suite version (Photoshop Creative Cloud) that is subscription based. By comparison Elements, while still loaded with a good number of tools has a smaller feature set designed to make smaller image corrections/changes. More in depth changes can be made, but the software makes you do more of the work to achieve your goals vs. the more automated tools in the full Photoshop suite.
With the change to the software licensing you can now only get Elements as a digital download. In years past it was available as a download or on a disc. I don’t recall the download size but it took about 10 minutes to download over a 600mbps fiber connected and install on a Win11 machine with an NVME SSD. The program and its associated folders occupy about 4GB of disk space – the recommended available space is 10GB. You can have the software installed on 2 devices, but you are limited to only using one at a time. In the past I could deactivate the software on one machine and move it to another, which still holds true.
With my previous experience on Elements 2020 I figured I would have a good grasp of 2025. For the most part the software works exactly the same. There’s a couple more features tossed in that I didn’t have before – mostly the fun edits tab in the Guided section. Quick, Guided, and Expert tabs are still there. The Quick tab has a small feature list with simple editing tools – crop selection, red eye tool, selection lasso, etc. These tools use lot of automation to help make the edits easier to make. If you are unsure how to use them the Guided tab will take you through different edit that utilize these tools. The Guided tab and its what I seem to gravitate towards when I have used the 2020 version. I really like the Guided tab because it makes it easier to decide which edits are needed, and if its something new then its beneficial to have a walkthrough. The Expert tab kind of brings things back to the look of the Quick tab, but with a much fuller menu and more software controls. I have only slightly dipped into this tab in order to fine tune some edits made in the Guided options.
I jumped right in with a project that I had been waiting to start in 2025. It was a composite photo of my girlfriend and her kids jumping. Unfortunately they didn’t all jump at the same time so I had to use the software to merge them. I tried a view methods like the built in Composite photo function, and it worked just fine. I was able to merge the images to create a seamless final image. The problem was the composite function really lowered the image quality of the final picture – it went from an image that could be printed on sizes larger than 8x10 to an image that would be limited to 5x7. That wasn’t going to work. I found that I was changing too much to combine the images which is why it downsampled so much. I changed gears and tried out removing a person with the Remove Background Objects function, and then bringing them back in by copying with the smart lasso tool. The background removal was really impressive. Behind the subjects was foliage/bushes that the software did an excellent job of filling back in after removal. Bringing the subjects over from the other image was pretty straightforward and just required some light tweaks to get the lighting just right. I also took the head off on subject and swapped it between pictures. That required the use of the blending tools to match skin tone get rid of the seam between the images. From there I made a few tweaks to the overall lighting tone, and then made a couple of versions with different filters, did some B&W, B&W with color highlights on certain objects, etc. The image came out great, and with an identical level of image quality as the original photos. I did my due diligence and attempted to make the same edits in 2020. The background removal was OK in comparison – it did not handle the foliage as well and it was much less detailed. Making the composite was swapping the heads around went ok as well. I did have to fiddle with things a bit more to get it to come out roughly the same. It’s obvious there have been some improvements to the algorithms that are used in background generation. I still think the guided tab is still the bread and butter for the vast majority of users of this program. It really does a good job of taking you through the edits and giving you some insight into what it can do. I have started to dabble in the advanced tab, which is what I needed to use for the composite and lasso tool. Its all pretty intuitive, so with a little bit of time and practice I think anyone that’s a little computer savvy can understand the program.
For a previous user of the Photoshop Elements I was right at home with the 2025 version. The menus and layouts are the same, and the functions operate in mostly the same way. I can tell the software has gotten smarter/more refined with some it’s tools. The background removal tool worked decently better than my 2020 version, and I required fewer touchups to accomplish the edit. I was very happy with my composite image – something that came out noticeably better on 2025 than 2020. This is a really easy software to use and get started in, which is an accomplishment on its own. My only knock against the the software is the shift to the 3 year license versus outright ownership. Elements tailors to light and casual users – I might only use the software a handful of times a year when I print out pictures. The value of the software diminishes if I don’t use it more frequently.

A good update from previous versions

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I’ve been using Photoshop Elements for years, once they started updating the program to include a lot more features several versions ago. I use to use the full version of Photoshop, but it was costly to buy, and became a monthly subscription at some point. Eventually, Elements had enough features, for me, that I no longer needed the full version, and Elements gives me whatever I need at this point. Installation is fairly straight forward, though it can take a while. You are allowed to run the program on two systems, such as your desktop and a laptop.
When starting up the program, you do have the option of opening the “organizer” or the “photo editor”, and the organizer will help you sort out your existing photos and browse various folders you have to quickly find images. The editor of course is where you’ll go to begin editing photos.The nice thing about Photoshop Elements is that you can customize the screen to just be very simple, or more full version, and even just use what they call “guided edits” if you want the program to pretty much do all of the thinking for you, or give you step-by-step instructions on how to adjust something. Honestly, for the most part, many photos can be improved significantly by just tweaking the brightness, contrast, and perhaps the colors a bit. But Elements will also let you do more, like erasing a distracting object (or person) from an image, swapping colors with other colors, changing the background of an image, adjusting the focus of an image from one part to another, and much more. You can do as little or as much as you’d like, including working with “layers” so you can keep track of, and change, individual editing stages of an image along the way. Within the preferences area in the edit drop-down, you can change a number of settings in the program. The two I always immediately change are that I check the box that allows me to use my scroll wheel on my mouse to zoom in and out of an image, and, I change the working screen to dark mode, which makes it easier to view, especially when working for longer periods of time. The help area is where you can go for updates, although eventually it will find them on it’s own. You do need to sign in to Adobe, (but can create a free account when you were installing the program).
When in the quick/easy edit screen, at the bottom-right you can find one of many sets of adjustments such as Effects, Quick Actions, and Frames, among a few. Within each are a number of additional adjustments you can experiment with, even adding basic movement and panning to images. You can give your image a whole new look, turn it black and white, add color shading effects, or even turn it into a watercolor or oil panting or a sketch drawing. Seriously, there are dozens of things you can do from the assist menus without having to know anything about photo editing. Depending on the computer you’re using, each one can take a few seconds to show an example. As mentioned though, there is the full edit screen you can use to do everything yourself manually, if you prefer. You can then save and export the image to social media or onto your hard drive, or cancel and try something else. Tip: Always remember to “Save as” instead of just “save” so you still keep your original and keep your newly edited image as a copy, and don’t replace your original.
In past versions of Elements, I would occasionally have issues with the program stalling or freezing up. Not excessive, but it would happen. With the 2025 version, so far, I’ve had no such issues. So far, this seems to be the most stable version released. The AI engine seems to do a better job at removing objects and when changing colors as well, as in past versions it was a little hit-and-miss, while so far this gets it right usually the first time I try it. Do keep in mind the beefier your computer, the smoother the program will run. I use a system with an i7 processor and 16 gigs of RAM, though you can run this on lesser systems as well.
My ONE complaint about the 2025 Elements version: Three year license. In the past, whenever you purchased Elements, you basically bought it and it was yours for a lifetime. With the 2025 version, you now get a three year license to use the program, after which time it appears it will stop functioning. Allegedly you’d still be able to view your images, just no longer work/edit them after the three years. This works out to roughly just under $35 per year to use it, which isn’t really expensive, but, it does leave a bit of a sour taste to now have a limit-of-use when in the past this did not exist. I do still recommend Elements, though. It goes what most people aside from the most feature-needy professionals need it to do, and still won’t break your bank account.

Sluggish / Dated UI, but made editing photos fun

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I've been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 2025 for about a week now, and I have to say that it is filled with features. So much so, that I'm still finding out how to do new things to edit my photos. Personally, I don't really like the overall look "interface" of the software. It feels very dated, and I think it could use a makeover. For a program that is supposed to be geared towards amateurs and people new to photo editing, it is quite cluttered and a little difficult to navigate through. Photoshop Elements, has a guided mode, quick mode and advanced mode. The quick mode has very basic color / texture editing tools and will change the look of your photos with the press of a button. Personally, I think they are too dramatic and the color tones are unrealistic with a lot of these "filters". The guided mode, has many more editing features. You can adjust a lot more, and add text, frames, effects, etc. I like using the guided modes. They give you more control over your photo edits while showing you what changes will take place and how to go about it. The "advanced" mode Is like a watered down photoshop mode. You have more control, but will definitely need to watch some tutorials online. I've been using so many different photo editors over the years, that Photoshop elements feels kind of dated now. It isn't as intuitive as I thought it would be, and it is kind of sluggish on my MacBook Pro. I have the M1 Pro MacBook Pro, and it kind of lags sometimes when using brushes and selection tools. I don't know if it is simply a Mac OS issue, will have to check online if Windows version shares the same issues. All that being said...
I think it is still a decent entry into the world of Photoshop. a stepping stone so to speak. There is many more user friendly photo editing softwares out there, but Photoshop is still one of the best around. If you are new to photo editing and need some guidance to get you started then this is a decent entry to photo editing. It just needs a lot of optimization, at least for M1 MacBook Pros. It hangs up from time to time on me, and is slower than I think it should be.
But I've enjoyed using it overall, editing my family photos and landscape photos has been fun. It took me back to the old days when I get started with photography. I used to enjoy editing photos before all the "filter" hype, and photoshop elements is fun to use for editing photos.

This is my first time really trying and using Photoshop. I've played with previous versions but was always intimidated by all the features and tools. Adobe Photoshop elements makes basic photo editing and creation pretty easy. There's a "Guided" tab that you can use that walks you step by step through the whole process of different features and effects. I would never have known where to start with doing any of the tasks. There's also a "Quick" tab that allows you to do more basic effects with the touch of a button, such as adding motion effects, changing backgrounds, and adding texture.
The removal tool also makes it easy to remove unwanted objects. The AI does a pretty good job of replicating the background of where the object was. There are some times where there may be multiple colors coming in, and it doesn't look quite right. So best to use it on a solid background, like removing someone from a street or the beach.
All in all, this product is a lot of fun to play with, and makes editing photos pretty simple. I am the definition of a newbie when it comes to this, and am able to do easily do things I never knew how.

Having worked with Adobe Photoshop Elements since Elements 4.0, loved Elements 11 with "Magic Extractor", and used Elements 19 together with Elements 11, Photoshop Elements 2025 is a true "let-down". Computer with Windows 10 died, so bought new one with Windows 11. Could NOT download disk of Elements 11 on new computer, bought new Elements 2025. NOT near the features of Elements or Elements 19. Over $100 of disappointments with 2025, but now have a 3 year lease, and NO "Magic Extraction" that I used at least once a week. Not a happy camper with Adobe Photoshop elements 2025.

Photoshop Elements
I am an amateur digital photographer who spends a lot of time editing photos, and Adobe Photoshop Elements is the perfect tool for making those edits.
Setup of the application was super easy. After redemption, I simply downloaded the app and logged into my adobe account and it worked. The initial download was pretty quick, but since I shoot in RAW (which adobe photoshop elements includes RAW supportI downloaded the add-ins as well.
This release of Adobe Photoshop elements has a lot of what you’d expect out of photoshop (such as a number of select tool, plenty of ways to colorize/transform/edit photos) in a neat package. But, there are also a number of new features available, many rooted in utilizing cutting edge artificial intelligence. That includes removing object, creating an artificial depth of field (AKA portrait mode), changing the color of individual objects, combining pictures, and adding motion to pictures. After experimenting with these new features for a long time, I can say they are excellent. The ability to remove objects after shooting and to adjust depth of field after the shot really opens up the possibilities of image editing. I found removing objects after shooting to be especially useful in situations where I was taking photos in a crowded area.
One thing to note, I ran this on a MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro chip and 16gb of RAM. Initially performance was not great, but after going into the performance settings and allocating additional memory, I found it to be very useable if not quick to perform.
One thing I love about photoshop elements is the inclusion of a web and mobile app. The companion iOS app (currently in Beta) is super useful. It allows you to move photos between the devices and also offers quick editing options if you are trying to edit on the go. It’s not as fully featured as the desktop app but if you are looking to do adjustments to the exposure, contrast, color, etc. it’s very quick and useful.
Overall, as an amateur photographer, Adobe Photoshop Elements is a great tool with professional level features as well as support for new AI features.
