Introducing Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021 & Premiere Elements 2021

Introducing Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021 & Premiere Elements 2021
October 12, 2020

I was able to get a demonstration of each of the new features listed below and had the opportunity to use the software. You’ll see a number of really cool automated effects (using AI called Adobe Sensei) have been added. Often these are the features that users truly want applied to their images or videos.

While there are automated ways to do these tasks, you can skip the wizards and do anything you desire manually as well. Very few users need the power of the full version of Photoshop or Premiere and the Elements versions meet that need in a product you can truly purchase instead of rent. I have included links to purchase the software on Amazon and I do earn a small commission if you use those links. Below are the product details provided by Adobe.

Powered by Adobe Sensei AI as your creative sidekick, Elements 2021 enables you to easily edit, create, organize, and share your photos and videos – bringing your imagination to life.

Today the Elements team is excited to announce the release of Photoshop Elements 2021 & Premiere Elements 2021. This latest release makes it even easier for you to follow your creative inspiration where it leads.

This year, we’re continuing to build on powerful automation and guided editing features you’ve come to expect from Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements. Leveraging Adobe Sensei AI technology, we’re streamlining organization and editing capabilities for both veteran and novice Elements users.

Let’s dive into what’s new and enhanced for these releases.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021

Add motion to your static images with Moving Photos

Static images are great. Static images with the appearance of motion, even better. This year we’re introducing the ability to transform your favorite shots into moving photos with just one click. Powered by Adobe Sensei, you can easily create fun, animated GIFs with 2D and 3D camera motion and then impress your family and friends as they marvel at your skills.

Fine-tune portrait and group shots with Adjust Face Tilt

Over the years we’ve introduced numerous features that help with those occasional moments where something just isn’t right. From closed eyes to a missed smile in a group shot, Elements has come to the rescue. Adjust Face Tilt is this year’s addition to this category of edits. This Sensei powered feature helps you ensure that everyone in your photo is looking in the right direction by automatically adjusting the position of a person’s face.

Enhance your photos with customizable Quote Graphics

We all need a little inspiration – especially in 2020 – and this year we’re adding the ability to easily create Quote Graphics within Elements. Add motivational quotes or personalized messages to your pics with pre-set templates, tons of customization, and cool animation options.

From basic adjustments to artistic creations, Guided Edits eliminate the guesswork from editing photos and videos with follow along steps that let you learn as you go.

New Guided Edits in Photoshop Elements include:

Automatic back-up of catalog structure

Cataloging — albums, keyword tags, people, places, events, and more — is key to photo and video library organization.
