Won't install update after DVD install

The version on the DVD wasn't the current version. So after you loaded it and went to use it, it came up saying it needed to update. At which point it would lock up. I tried this several times, and then I uninstalled it. Then went to Adobe website and downloaded the "Latest" free trial version. Then I input the S/N from the box for the DVD and all was good. Just, pretty ridiculous that you can't load from the DVD and then do an update.

Excellent for the basics

I love Adobe Creative Suite products and wanted to upgrade my CS6 software, but don’t want to pay for a monthly subscription. Since my work needs have been fairly basic, the Elements line seemed like a good fit. It doesn’t have ALL the features I like, but it makes up for it with easy to use “guided” features... Install and subsequent updates have been smooth and hassle-free.

A capable package to handle the photo and video requirements of photographers of many levels.

It is possible to take a photo that is almost technically awful, and then fix it with Elements well enough in Quick or Expert mode to be usable for friends to view your travels or events. Basic editing can be done in minutes, or careful changes can be done with an artistic point of view. Premiere Elements quickly handles the video side of editing to make lighting and basic color grading adjustments something the average photographer can do. If five stars were used to rate, it would mean that Adobe has no more room to improve. Better, easier and faster will continue in the future.

Slow as Molasses and Buggy

Organizer is buggy. It has really regressed since Version 1. I regret buying Elements. It is very slow.

Very creative software

I have worked with Photoshop for many years and this new one is an upgrade to the previous one. It has lots of new interesting features and looking forward to have more time to work with it (holidays).

Too busy for me

Price was fantastic of course - Black Friday. Very easy to install on my SSD. Does offer a lot of features. Pros: Does most anything any person needs normally. Cons: Why does Microsoft make them so busy? Window opens - leads to page - leads to selection chart. WHAT!!

It won't install on my Windows 10 computer...

I bought this because it was on sale. While I have the full versions of Photoshop, this version of Elements has features that my versions of Photoshop don't have. I can still accomplish the same things that this new version of Elements has by using Photoshop, but this version of Elements seems like it's a lot easier to do. The reason that I gave it only one star, is because I can't get it to install on my Windows 10 Pro computer. I have tried everything, but no luck. Apparently, there is some program on my computer that is preventing Elements from installing, but since I am unable to install it, I can't give it a rating above one star, since I have no idea of what it can do.

Christmas Gift

I'll have to wait until after Christmas, it was a Christmas gift, so I assume it is fine for now.

Adobe Elements Combo 2021

The last Windows 10 update took out my Adobe Photoshop 6.0. In total frustration, I decided to buy the Photoshop and Premier Elements combo 2021. I’ve only used the Photoshop Elements program to date but am very pleased with the ease of use and extended features that the 6.0 version didn’t have. Great program.
