Since autocorrect is such a popular tool-who wouldn’t want to fix a photo’s brightness, contrast, and saturation with a single mouse click?-Adobe has given Elements users more control in version 12. Don’t try to pretend to Adobe that you don’t use autocorrect-they’ve got the data. Of particular note are content-aware move, the new Auto Smart Tone (a sort of auto correct with user adjustability), and new guided edits for creating puzzle pictures, a zoom burst effect, and restoring old photos. And though you might be forgiven for thinking with that plethora of tools there was nothing new to add, the wizards at Adobe have come up with several very clever and useful new tricks in version 12. These effects are easy to use, as you can simply drag and drop them onto your video clips, but the results are a bit hit-and-miss so you might need to experiment for a while to find some effects you like.New Photo Editing Tricks All of the previous version of Photoshop Elements’ many, many photo manipulation tools remain in version 12-layers, smart brushes, gradients, face recognition, geotagging maps, filters, HDR, panoramas, camera raw-the whole nine yards. Some of these mimic specific artistic styles, such as cubism or expressionism, while others simply provide colour or lighting effects to enhance the look of your video clips. The main improvement is the addition of 24 new artistic effects, similar to those that were introduced to Photoshop Elements last year. Video-editing is demanding work, so anything that boosts performance is obviously very welcome – especially as there aren’t many other important features in this update. Like Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements now supports Apple Silicon, and Adobe claims that it will now run almost 70% faster on Macs with M1/M2 chips. However, it does have one new feature that will particularly appeal to owners of newer Macs with M1 or M2 processors. The new version of Premiere Elements for 2023 – which was actually released in September 2022 – is a relatively modest update, so existing owners may not consider it an essential upgrade.

The instructions in the Guided Edit mode show you how to select animated effects and add them to your video timeline, but there’s still a confusing array of additional options to deal with, such as ‘Blend’ modes that determine how the overlay effect is applied to your video clips. This is a useful option for many video projects, but even in Guided mode some of these editing tools can be a little daunting.

Many of the Guided Edits available in Premiere Elements are similar to those found in Photoshop Elements, such as the Animated Overlays feature that allows you to add ‘overlay’ effects, such as falling snow or leaves, or confetti for a wedding video. And, like Photoshop Elements, it also has a ‘Guided Edit’ mode that provides step-by-step help for common tasks, such as adding titles to your videos, or creating time-lapse effects. The ‘Expert’ mode, as the name suggests, provides more detailed editing tools, with the timeline providing multiple audio and video tracks that allow you to perform more complex editing work. The ‘Quick’ mode helps beginners to get started by allowing you to quickly import multiple videos and automatically arranging them into a simple ‘timeline’ that runs along the bottom of the screen. Video-editing can be a complex task, so Premiere Elements provides three different editing modes for people with different levels of experience.
