Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements 2023 launch
Adobe has announced updates to its Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements editing software, the baby siblings to the 'full-blown' professional apps Lightroom and Photoshop.
The major updates are focussed on Adobe's Sensei AI-powered features, including more streamlined editing tools and enhanced animation features. Like with Photoshop's popular tutorials, both new products also gain a number of educational guides.
According to Adobe, there's more than 90 available across the two programs, with the step-by-step interactive lessons covering everything from how to achieve a specific editing task to creating a different 'look' for their photos and videos.
In a first, both Elements products gain web and mobile companion apps, although these are only available in Beta form currently.
Other features include AI advancements for photos and videos, which let users add moving elements to photos, while also saving in social-ready formats including MP4 (videos) and GIFs (animated photos), Artistic Effects inspired by popular art styles to transform video clips with one click, new backgrounds, patterns and skies, new collage and slideshow templates, new Peek-through Overlays to create the illusion of depth in photos, and new audio tracks in Premiere Elements, among other enhancements.
Finally, the programs should work faster too, with up to 35% faster installation, 50% faster launch times, a 48% reduction in app size and up to 70% faster launch times on Apple M1-powered Mac computers.
The full licence for Photoshop Elemens 2023 will set you back $145. You can read more about the updates to Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements on Adobe's website.
