#### Make your photos look their best

Create amazing composites
  Experiment with easy-to-use compositing tools that let you create perfect group shots, seamless panoramas, and more.
Count on expert assistance
  Need to touch up a scratch or create a scrapbook page, but not sure how to begin? The Guided Edit mode in Photoshop Elements walks you through each editing step to make improving your photos easier than ever.
Brush away flaws
  Easily brush away wrinkles and unwanted objects using the Spot Healing Brush for instant results and the Healing Brush for finer control. To get the best results possible, preview your changes with the Healing Brush before committing them.
Make selections in a snap
  Make image selections in seconds so you can easily adjust specific areas of a photo. Simply brush your selection, and then use sliders to make the adjustment blend perfectly into the background.
Fine-tune exposure
  Easily adjust color, brightness, and contrast in a photo with the enhanced Brightness/Contrast control, which creates vibrance while preserving much of the original photo information, or use Color Curves adjustments to get the perfect exposure.
