"Powerful Yet User-Friendly Photo Editing for Everyone"
What do you like best about Photoshop Elements?

What I like best about Photoshop Elements is its balance between powerful editing features and ease of use. The guided edits and automated tools make it simple to enhance photos without advanced editing knowledge. It offers a wide range of effects, basic retouching tools, and organization features, which are great for quick edits and everyday photo enhancement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Photoshop Elements?

Sometimes it's Elements lacks some advanced features that are available in the full version of Adobe Photoshop, which can be limiting for professional users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AI-Powered Features Make Editing Easy for Beginners"
What do you like best about Photoshop Elements?

What I think is best about Photoshop Elements is the AI-driven features with user-friendly guidance. I am not a Photoshop expert so I really love the user-friendly guidance. It makes complex edits accessible for beginners while offering depth for enthusiasts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Photoshop Elements?

The single most cited area for improvement in Photoshop Elements is its limited advanced editing features and controls compared to the full version of Photoshop Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing application within very useful features and updates"
What do you like best about Photoshop Elements?

What I like best about Photoshop Elements is how it combines powerful tools with an easy-to-use layout, so I can jump into editing without feeling overwhelmed.

The AI features are a game-changer for me. The Remove Tool lets me brush away unwanted objects in seconds, and it fills in the background so naturally that you’d never know anything was there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Photoshop Elements?

What I dislike about Photoshop Elements is that, while it’s great for quick and creative edits, it can feel limiting if I want to push my work further. It doesn’t support things like CMYK or Lab colour modes, 16-bit editing, or some of the more advanced layer and masking options I’d get in full Photoshop. That means for projects needing professional-grade colour accuracy or more complex workflows, I have to look elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User Friendly"
What do you like best about Photoshop Elements?

PS elements has all the things you love about the desktop app useable in a mobile friendly way. I use this to do small, natrual looking corrections without making the photo look "Photoshopped". They are the standard for photo editing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Photoshop Elements?

I use the mobile app, and it is a bit difficult to use for larger projects that require multiple layers. I wouldn't recommend it for that, but small edits to make a social media posts look great is definitely it's strong suit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool is straightforward to use and includes all the essential features needed for editing. We rely on it nearly every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Photoshop Elements?

I miss the old payment plan, where you could make a one-time purchase instead of having to pay every month. I wish they would bring that option back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Consistent Usability and Features, but Dislike the 3-Year License Deadline"
What do you like best about Photoshop Elements?

Every generation adds new features and capabilities. However using the tool has remained largely the same. Easy to access and use. You don't have to know every feature to create something useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Photoshop Elements?

The 3 year license. While I probably upgrade every 3 years or so, I don't like having the deadline hanging over me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
