Adobe has also included three editing modes that allow you to pick a quick, guided or expert based on your expertise and skill set.īesides editing organizing is a big deal with the new version of Elements. Version 11 brings many great professional editing features down to its entry level photo software.Īdobe has also included a new photo organizer that allows you to easily organize by individual people or by location.

It seems like Adobe has taken a hard look at what other companies like Google and Apple have been offering and are adding their own twist with their expertise in digital imaging. Here is the latest addition to the Adobe family, Elements 11.
