Easily the best photo manipulation tool out there. The quick mode can fix photos in a few clicks. The face tool makes it super easy to remove red eyes. Plus the Expert mode provides support for almost all the functions that a hobbyist photographer needs. Taking 1 star off not because of missing functionality, but because the photo editing capability of Lightroom has an overall better UI.

Not a bad program, but they deliberately decided not to include curves, which is probably the most important tool in the Photoshop stable. The program is worth the price but it would have been nice to know about the bundle with Premier Elements for just a few dollars more. The "trial" Premier Elements included with this plasters an Adobe watermark on your videos. Hardly a trial if you can't actually USE the thing.

When on sale at $ Photoshop Elements is great bang for your dollars. Of course I would rather have full Photoshop, but this copy doesn't require a subscription and with some workarounds and compromises one can do almost every simple thing one would want to do in the full version. Perfect if you have a non subscription version of Lightroom and want some of the photoshop tools!

I had two previous versions of Elements that I used with Windows 10. Windows 10 keeps updating and making changes, most of them are not good! One version was disabled in an update where it would not let me use the program until I inserted a disk that did not exist. The other version was totally disabled after the update, it advised me that the software was no longer compatible with the new Windows.

I have not installed it yet, I expect it to be like all my previous PSE I am currently using 12 I have had 10, 8 and so on and so forth. It will take me a bit before I install PSE 15. I have had no complaints with PSE... I love it so I think 15 will be as enjoyable with new things to learn. I only hope I don't loose the Nix software I have added to my PSE 12....

It does everything the box says and more. I prefer Elements over Lightroom but this software will take some getting use to for those fine tuning edits.

This is what I wanted! I'm not a professional photographer, and after years of not being into photography like I was in the past, I decided to pick up the hobby again. Therefore, I guess I'm an enthusiast. I checked out a trial version of Capture One Pro and read numerous reviews about Lightroom and Photoshop (the full version). I decided, though, that I didn't want the learning curve due to time, and I didn't want the monthly charge (even though it's a decent value if you use it a lot). This has enough tools for me, and so far it has done everything I need it to do. Highly recommended if you don't want to spend a lot of time learning all that the subscription-based Adobe offerings have to offer.
