Adobe has released the new version of Photoshop Elements and I'm here to walk you through the new features. Buy now on Amazon [ Ссылка ]
Moving Photos
In this version, there's some Adobe magic in the form of the new Moving Photos feature.
This feature finds depth in the photo and creates 3D and 2D movement in your photos. This feature works best with the photos having some separation between subject and background. You can export the output as an animated GIF.
The Verdict
This is a fun new feature which could serve some novelty use on social media, but some of the effects could lead to motion sickness!
Adjust Face Tilt
If you have a photo where people are not quite looking at the camera, you'll love this new feature. You can adjust the angle and rotation of faces inside the Adjust Facial Features dialog box.
You'll find this one under the Enhance - Adjust Facial Features... menu item.
It's simple to adjust all kinds of facial features in Photoshop Elements
The Verdict
Adjust Face tilt is a solid and useful addition to the Adjust Facial Features, as a person who often tilts her head in photos, I'm sure I'll be using this one!

Perfect Landscape Guided Edit
This Guided Edit will help you enhance your landscape photo with a few simple steps.
In the right-hand panel you are provided with tools to crop, level out the horizon, remove haze and remove small distractions. It also allows you to replace the sky in your landscapes in a single click with sky presets.
The Verdict
Perfect Landscapes will be a help to new photo editors who need some help working out which tools to use to make the most of their landscape photos.
The sky presets are quite nice, and I really like how the Auto Match Color Tone allows the rest of the picture to blend in with the new sky you choose.
The strength of this new guided edit is the haze removal and the straighten features. Just a couple of clicks will improve most landscape photos. This feature is a practical addition and I highly recommend it.
Duotone Effect Guided Edit
The Duotone effect (as seen on Spotify) has become a trendy image effect lately. You can create it with just a few clicks in Photoshop Elements.
You can start with quickly adjusting the size of your image for the social platform you want to post to.
The Verdict
Another on-trend addition to the Guided Edits. I like the shape overlay options that allow you to make a background suitable for text overlay.
Move and Scale Object
Move and Scale Object allows you to create a better composition in your photos. Photoshop Elements 2021 introduces to you a new guided edit Move & Scale Object. This Guided Edit gives you the ability to move objects in your photos from one place to the other, duplicate and resize (scale) objects.
The Verdict
This feature makes selecting and then moving an object simpler and guides you through the process. It's perfect for a newcomer or a quick fix. If you are experienced with advanced photo editing, you may still prefer to use the expert mode for better selections on busy backgrounds.
So, it's a great new feature for those new to photo editing.
Quote Graphic
There's a new addition to the Create button. It's a new type of creation that helps you add text, shape, graphics and animation to an image. Adobe has created some templates to help you get a great result.
You can create a Quote Graphic from Organizer or the Editor.
Background: Choose from sample backgrounds or you can select your own photo. Apply an effect to the photo using Effects sub-panel.
Objects - Add text, shapes and graphics.
Design - You can choose from available presets for a premade design.
Animate - You can apply some basic animations on the photo/text and can save the photo as GIF. Make sure you use the Save button at the bottom of the panel to save as an animated GIF.
When you click done, you are returned to the editing mode you were working in. You can then use the layers panel and tools to do further adjustments to the graphic if needed.
The Verdict: Quote Graphic
This is a useful tool for those wanting to create social media graphics, without needing to know how to use all the tools in Photoshop Elements. The addition of the animation feature makes it easy to create scroll-stopping graphics.
Save to Cloud
If you have an Adobe Creative cloud account, you can save an edited photo on the cloud. You can easily access this from PSE editor on a different computer using the Open feature, then clicking the Open Cloud Photos button. You can also share a link to this photo with your family & friends.
