As its name suggests, Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021 is a cut-down version of Adobe Photoshop. To a novice photographer the full version of Photoshop can appear daunting as it is packed full of potentially superfluous features, such as the ability to draw vector-based shapes using Bézier curves, for example. Elements cuts to the chase by focusing on overcoming common photo problems (such as removing tints or colour casts, or straightening tilted horizons). As Elements contains only the essential photo-fixing tools it is far easier (and quicker) to master than the ‘full-fat’ version.
Elements’ useful Guided Edit modes give you access to the key tools required to help fix picture problems. Thanks to features, such as Adobe Sensei AI, it enables you to give your shots a creative makeover without needing years of photo-editing experience.
