Photoshop Elements has the same task-oriented interface it's had for years, split into Edit, Create, and Share. New is YouTube uploading-it can directly upload unedited videos. The Facebook integration comes in the People recognition view there, you can download your Facebook friends' list to tag, so they upload pretagged you can upload full or reduced resolution. That said, if you're using the search tools to find images with a certain feel or color scheme to use in projects, the visual similarity search will suit.įrom the Organizer you can do quick fixes, launch project creation, or share to a variety of popular sites. In general, PSE doesn't handle raw+JPEG well at all. Plus, if you shoot raw+JPEG, it counts every pair as a duplicate. There's a new Duplicate search based off the visual similarity engine, but it performs too inconsistently to rely on it. It can search based on shape or color, and you can control how the two are weighted. The new object search works reasonably well on rectangular objects-for instance, I used it to try to isolate the photos of cage cards-but not so well on others.
This can be hit or miss for instance, it classified a host of photos with shallow depth of field as out of focus. It allows for hierarchical tagging, as well as Smart Tags, which can automatically classify your media as high, medium, or low quality, as well as tag what it thinks is in focus, low contrast, blurred, and so on. (However, if you do a lot of raw shooting, I recommend you try Adobe Lightroom instead.)įirst, Adobe has beefed up the Organizer a bit to improve its video support, since it's serving Premiere as well. It's a basic update that doesn't radically change the usability or capabilities of the program unless you shoot raw-and that's because it updates to the latest engine of Adobe Camera Raw.
This version brings parity to the Mac for Organizer search, expands social tagging capabilities, some basic video support and path text, as well as enhancements to a few existing tools. Now in its 10th year, Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, which also comes as a bundle with its video-oriented sibling, Adobe Premiere Elements 10, offers photo enthusiasts and beginners a lot of imaging power for a lot less than its big brother.
