Adobe's "Elements" line are pared-down versions of their full-featured design suites. Often touted as great for beginners and hobbyists, Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements provide many of the most used tools and features but are easier to use.

Additionally, Adobe's Elements line are the only offerings from Adobe that can be purchased outright and do not require a subscription.

New to Adobe Photoshop Elements this year is the ability to add motion static to images with one click. Transform favorite shots into moving photos, perfect for sharing on social media.

A new fine-tune face tilt feature automatically adjusts a subject's face to ensure they're looking in the right direction.

Social media gurus can easily make sharable creations with templates for motivational quotes, animations, and popular image edits. Additionally, new Guided Edits allow users to learn how to perform some of the most popular image effects -- like duotones, perfected landscapes, and more -- by following Adobe's lead.




Adobe Photoshop Elements is available for $99.99 from Amazon.

For Windows users, you'll need to run Windows 10 version 1903 or later -- Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 are not supported. For those who run macOS, you'll need macOS 10.14 through macOS 10.15, or macOS 11, and 8 gigabytes of RAM.

Adobe Premiere Elements 2021 offers a simplified interface and several new features to help make video editing a breeze for video editors.

New this year is the ability to make precise selections to an object or area and apply effects that track throughout the video. High-quality playback has been added for videos thanks to GPU-accelerated performance boosts.

    Why is it that the Preferences, Menus and such all still look like old Windows left overs from another century?
    We did have Version 6 many years ago and prefer a non cloud/subscription photo editing software for our vast family photo library so I downloaded the Trial version as I'm thinking of eventually buying this. Some neat features, but it seems a mishmash of trying to keep up with the new boys and sticking to their older software. So far it does NOT feel like a rewrite and thoroughly modern piece of software. 
    I'll play with it some more and see if after 30 days Luminar wins my dollars or not.
