Beginners Adobe Elements Help
Photoshop Elements is now ten years old. Thinking about an over impressive version, it's not surprising when Adobe Photoshop often struggled to improve it each year. The last update is the exception, with Layer masks disclose lots of innovative technology and Guide mode aids regular users attain complicated effects by taking benefit of resulting wizards. Can version ten keep this speed?
The number of new features comes out in Organize module. Object Search permits users to specify an object in the image, while it scans the rest of the gallery to find examples of the same item. It's just theory though. We allow it to scan 37000 pictures in our gallery, but after many hours of importing and making lists (and changed all files, stopped our raising backup route), it could not bring any appropriate images. There're some other methods to search and filter images, but there're no containing folder names - a vital shortage.
The face protection shown in version 8 has been strengthened by the integration with Facebook; download friends' names to link tagged uploads to their Facebook accounts. It is a wonderful feature, but it does not know that family members sometimes have the same surname.
Organizer has some exceptional qualities but it can't compete with Google Picasa - faster and more effective. Nevertheless, you can use Picasa for managing your pictures and Adobe Photoshop Elements for editing - which they may do best. When editing color tools of Picasa are fundamental and Raw processing is very poor, Photoshop Elements is great at both.
Most enhancements for main programs are the extension of present features. Smart Brush Tool has much more brushes, apply the complex process such as oil pastel effect rain effect and colour tints by simple brushes.
Guided Tab includes many new tasks, like focus a bit or polaroid look for a photo. Our favorite among new inclusion is Depth of Field, which blurs the picture while keeping selected areas sharp - it's useful skill to imitate the shallow depth of field of SLR.
We had a headache to edit the area we wish to keep the sharpness by using Quick Selection, an option bringing us to Lasso tool will be better. People who know how to use Layer masks can change the results with any tools they choose, but as Guided mode exists in its own field, it doesn't illustrate how techniques are used to modify or transfer to other tasks.
Now you can make the text follow in a curve. It includes drawing a curve and typing, and the curve could be edited later by dragging the nodes. The text may take the edge of simple shapes such as ellipse and triangle, or an area you can select with Quick Selection brush. But, characters which follow too closely the selection, while curves tighten in hand-made strokes, make letters stick to one another and become tough to read, and there's no control to delete spaces to resolve this problem.
This is not the must-have update for version nine, and if users consider the upgrade fee - '69 of Adobe Photoshop, they should stop. Nonetheless, it isn't weaker than version 9. To edit photographs, nothing else in this price can compare with Adobe Elements about its power and accuracy and it is interesting to use, therefore it deserves one more Best Buy Award.
