"Consistent Usability and Features, but Dislike the 3-Year License Deadline"

5/5

What do you like best about Photoshop Elements?

Every generation adds new features and capabilities. However using the tool has remained largely the same. Easy to access and use. You don't have to know every feature to create something useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Photoshop Elements?

The 3 year license. While I probably upgrade every 3 years or so, I don't like having the deadline hanging over me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"They retired a really useful software solution"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Photoshop Elements?

The price point, user license, and the core features were good enough for even a semi-professional user seeking to create and edit images. It could handle layers and colour palettes well, and was stable.

I had a license for this, and for Creative Cloud, but preferred using Elements over the full version of Photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Photoshop Elements?

It was difficult to get plugins for. Unfortunately, Adobe has now retired this software, and it seems to crash new computers with the latest version of Windows installed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
