Far from its initial starting point as a cut-down version of Photoshop, Adobe Elements is now an excellent tool, offering a great deal of functionality in a package much more user-friendly and less-complicated than its bigger brother. The <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelwin/newfeatures.html">press release</a> for this new release is a tad huge, but here's a couple of paragraphs that sums things up well:
Auto Red Eye Removal, Magic Selection Brush, Skin Tone Adjustment, and Magic Extractor join an already impressive list of consumers’ favorite editing tools that fix common photography problems and expand creative control.
The improved Red Eye Removal now eliminates red eye automatically as photos are downloaded from the camera. The new Magic Selection Brush quickly selects specific parts of a photo for easy color, lighting, and contrast adjustments. The new Skin Tone Adjustment allows consumers to get more realistic skin colors in just moments. The new Magic Extractor easily removes subjects from photos, with advanced edge de-fringing, for scrapbooking and composites like placing a friend on a mountaintop, adding ancestors to a family portrait, and creating other fun combinations. |
