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.

Do more with your photos

Start creating quickly
Get step-by-step assistance for making photo projects, like scrapbook pages, cards, and CD/DVD labels. Simply choose the type of project you’d like to create, and the appropriate tools and instructions appear at your fingertips.

Provide an interactive sharing experience
Go beyond traditional slide shows by sharing photos in your choice of animated web galleries. Adobe® Flash® CS3 Professional technology lets family and friends interact with your photos for an entertaining experience.

Share in many ways from one convenient place
Quickly and easily share your photos in a variety of ways—including e-mail, online galleries, and burning to CD or DVD—from the convenient new Sharing Center. Save favorite e-mail sharing options as presets so you can send photos to the family or slide shows to the soccer team in just a few clicks.

Liven up your photo projects
Use great-looking new themes and artwork to give your photo projects a professional look.

Send personalized photo e-mails
Send photos in a themed e-mail with captions and backgrounds. Photoshop Elements offers fun new e-mail templates and automatically optimizes your photos so that they download quickly, look great, and won’t overload your friends’ mailboxes.

Easily find and view photos and video clips

Enjoy improved performance
Start Photoshop Elements and view and organize your photos faster than ever before. Scroll through your photos, apply tags, and view and retrieve your photos faster, even when your library grows to thousands of photos.

See just the photos you want to see
Focus on just the photos you want to see in the Organizer, no manual tagging required. With new smart albums, you can view all the photos taken with a certain camera, all the photos taken since the beginning of the year, all the photos with a five-star rating, and other groupings.

Create projects more quickly
Save time by gathering the photos you need for a specific project in one place. A dedicated Project Bin provides easy access to all of your open photos, photo book pages, and saved albums.
