Bob Gager, Product Manager of Adobe Photoshop Elements, joins me in this episode of the Scrapbooking Inspiration Podcast.
Bob has been with Adobe for over 11 years, leading the product management team for Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements, Adobe's consumer digital imaging and digital video products, and other next generation photo and video editing products.
Listen in as we chat about what's new in Photoshop Elements 14.
What's New in Photoshop Elements 14:
In the Organizer Adobe has paid attention to how people like to organize. They like to know who is in the photo, where it was taken, and what they were doing.Face Recognition is now faster, and more user friendly.Places View is also improved. With so many cell phone photos the GPS location is included in the meta data of those photos. That data is automatically added to the map in Places ViewThe Events Room using a sorting algorithm that looks for clusters of photos that were taken around the same date and time. That helps you quickly create an event inside the organizer.Photoshop Elements Editor has a diverse audience, as far as skill set goes. To address this PSE has the Expert Mode, Guided Edit Mode, and the Quick Edit Mode.In Quick Edit Mode you can apply instant effects to your photos. Similar to Instagram. With Smart Looks the photo is analyzed and you get the top 5 effects that will look best with that particular photo.In Guided Edit Mode they added 2 new edits. First one is Resize. This will allow you to resize for printing or resize for the web. The second one is Speed which makes it really easy to add a motion blur to your photo.In Expert Mode several new features were added. One really popular one is the Haze Remover. The moisture in the air is captured and can become hazy in the distance. This feature can determine which parts of the photo are hazy and which parts are not, and removes the haze. Shake reduction was also added. This feature will help turn your shaky selfie into a steady shot.The Refine Selection Brush has also been improved. It's difficult is to get close selections around the edge of people, pets, etc. This new feature allows you to just paint around your selection and the tool will go in and find the fine detail of hair, fuzzy edges, etc and create a detailed edge selection.Links in this episode:
