Adobe has continuously upped the game in creative editing and storytelling. The release of the new Adobe Elements, including Photoshop Elements 2022 and Premiere Elements 2022, proves to be no different. The new features utilize Adobe‘s Sensei AI technology to make your job easier, whether it be for photos or videos. Let’s take a look at what the new Adobe Elements 2022 has to offer.

Key Features of Adobe Elements 2022:

  • New automated features powered by Adobe Sensei AI technology
  • Four new Guided Edits (now totaling 87)
  • New photo and video slideshow styles
  •  Easy exporting in social-friendly vertical and square aspect ratios
  • Updated design and look for easier navigation

Sensei AI Technology

The Adobe Sensei technology is the strength behind the intelligent features across all Adobe products. It uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to create automations that improve and quicken your workflow. It can do work such as recognize images and suggest tags, identify objects in photos (such as faces or buildings), and recognize the focal point of your image to suggest cropping. This all makes for a much easier time when creating high-quality images — whether it be for personal use, professional marketing materials, and beyond.

Up Your Photo and Video Game

It’s not enough to take an awesome photo. The work done in post-production can send your photography to new creative heights. Elements 2022 can help grow your skills with its intuitive sizing features such as auto re-frame and social-friendly aspect ratios. Also, you can easily warp photos and remove unwanted objects from photos, ensuring your creative vision will flourish.

Elements 2022 now also features different artistic effects inspired by famous works of art that you can apply to your photos for added inspiration. Additionally, there are moving overlays such as snowflakes, hearts, and sparkles to add some extra flavor to your photos. You can then save your designs as MP4s for easy sharing.

Even More Guided Edits

Adobe Elements 2021 was already packed with amazing Guided Edits — which walks users through different editing — with 83 options. The bar has been set even higher with four new options in this new edition. This includes the ability to extend a photo’s background, or even apply custom duotone effects to your photos.

One of my favorites is the option to perfect your pet photos. It’s your furry friends time to shine with this new Guided Edit that allows you to adjust color and lighting, select and refine fur, fix pet-eye, and remove collars and leashes in a few easy-to-follow steps.

If you’re more of a landscape photographer, there is also a new Guided Edit which shows you how to replace and brighten skies, remove haze, and delete unwanted objects.

New Slideshow Templates
