Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>The latest version of Adobe\u2019s budget Photoshop-lite application comes with several improvements. There\u2019s a new Home Screen offering easy access to images, effects and Photoshop-related online content. There\u2019s also the usual smattering of Guided Edits that we\u2019ve come to expect with each new release, bringing the total number of walkthroughs up to 53. But perhaps the most interesting new feature is Auto-Creations, which produces automated collages and slideshows to showcase your photos. We\u2019ll take a closer look at these key new features in this beginner-friendly image editor.<\/p>\n<h2>Automatic collages<\/h2>\n<p>The Auto Creations command is the headline feature in Elements 2019. It generates automatic collages and slideshows from the images you\u2019ve imported into the Elements Organiser. Elements does this by scanning your image library and bringing together relevant photos. As such, the feature automatically collates memorable events like birthdays and weddings. If you\u2019ve taken the time to add tags, keywords or facial recognition tags in the Elements Organiser, then these are utilised to build the auto-collages. But the clever thing is, even if images aren\u2019t tagged with anything, then the content can still be analysed and recognised automatically.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_125216&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 820px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-125216 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-baby-text.jpg\" alt=\"Elements auto-creation baby text\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-baby-text.jpg 800w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-baby-text.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-baby-text.jpg?resize=599,400 599w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-baby-text.jpg?resize=562,375 562w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-baby-text.jpg?resize=600,400 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Adobe Sensei<\/h2>\n<p>This is all down to Sensei, which is Adobe\u2019s machine-learning feature for recognising image content. It\u2019s capable of sorting images of specific people, animals and objects, as well as types of scenes like sunsets or seascapes. Sensei is one of the most interesting Adobe developments in recent years. We\u2019ve seen it utilised in Lightroom CC and Photoshop, and now it comes into play for the new Elements Auto Creations feature.<\/p>\n<h2>New guided edits<\/h2>\n<p>Guided Edits are one of the best beginner-friendly features in Photoshop Elements. Found within the Guided workspace, they are semi-automated walkthroughs that put the right tools at your fingertips to help you carry out everyday image-editing tasks or create fun effects. There are four new guided edits to experiment with: a meme creator, partial photo\/sketch effect, photo\/text combiner and a tool for adding text and borders over your photos. For each effect, you simply need to open an image, begin the guided edit, then work your way through the steps and settings.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_125215&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 820px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-125215 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-baby-border.jpg\" alt=\"Elements auto-creation baby border\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-baby-border.jpg 800w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-baby-border.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-baby-border.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-baby-border.jpg?resize=562,374 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Workflow improvements<\/h2>\n<p>With each new version of Elements, there are performance improvements to help speed up your workflow, and a faster launch time. There\u2019s also new support for High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF) files (Mac only), which is the default file format for those using and shooting on devices running iOS 11 or higher. So if you need to edit HEIF images then you can now do so in Elements 2019.<\/p>\n<h2>Worth the upgrade?<\/h2>\n<p>If you already own a recent version (like Elements 2018 or version 15) then there\u2019s little need to upgrade to Elements 2019. Of the new features, the new Home Screen is helpful but hardly essential and the newly added Guided Edits can\u2019t really be considered new features; rather they\u2019re walkthroughs that utilise existing tools, and their usefulness will depend on how much you want to make a meme or a sketch. The only true innovation here is the Auto-Creations feature, so if you love making collages and presentations then an upgrade may be worthwhile.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_125220&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 820px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-125220 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-sketch.jpg\" alt=\"Elements auto-creation sketch\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-sketch.jpg 800w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-sketch.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-sketch.jpg?resize=599,400 599w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-sketch.jpg?resize=562,375 562w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creation-sketch.jpg?resize=600,400 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Is it right for you?<\/h2>\n<p>A glance at the box, or pretty much any marketing material, for Elements 2019 tells us that Adobe is aiming Elements squarely at beginners and smartphone shooters. Over the last few versions great effort has been made to make Elements as beginner-friendly as possible. And for the most part it works brilliantly. For beginners there\u2019s plenty to recommend, and with the interface cleverly divided into three modes \u2013 Quick, Guided and Expert \u2013 the learning curve is nice and gentle. Elements continues to offer a slick, easy-to-use package with a wealth of features, and unlike Photoshop CC, it\u2019s yours for a one-off price rather than a monthly subscription.<\/p>\n<p>However, when such emphasis results can sometimes end up looking a bit generic. Some of the effects can look a bit cutesy, and there are plenty that no discerning photographer would touch with a bargepole. In this Instagram age the casual snapper may be wowed by one-click effects and visual tricks, but what about us photographers? The good news is that Elements has always been a hugely powerful image editor. Yes, its feature set is pared down compared to Photoshop CC, and yes, it\u2019s got a few superfluous bells and whistles, but at heart it\u2019s still a great image editor that offers tremendous depth for those willing to delve below the surface.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_125232&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 820px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-125232 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Elements-home-screen-2.jpg\" alt=\"Elements home screen\" width=\"800\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-home-screen-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-home-screen-2.jpg?resize=300,172 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-home-screen-2.jpg?resize=630,361 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-home-screen-2.jpg?resize=562,322 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">The new Home Screen replaces the old eLive workspace. Credit: James Paterson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>New Home Screen<\/h2>\n<p>The new Home Screen appears when Elements is first opened, and can also be accessed via a button at the bottom of the interface. It places the new Auto-Creations feature to the fore, and offers links to tutorials, inspiration and other online content curated by Adobe. The Home Screen is a sort of replacement for the old eLive workspace, which used to be located at the top of the screen alongside the Beginner, Guided and Expert Modes. But it\u2019s also a refinement, with easy access to tools and features. It\u2019s useful for beginners or those who want to discover new features, and gives you a taste of the possibilities of image editing in Elements.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_125221&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 820px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-125221 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creations-templates.jpg\" alt=\"Elements auto-creations templates\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creations-templates.jpg 800w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creations-templates.jpg?resize=300,188 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creations-templates.jpg?resize=630,394 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/01\/Elements-auto-creations-templates.jpg?resize=562,351 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">There&#8217;s a whole host of customisable templates to use.

These can be edited, saved or shared on social media.<\/p>\n<p>With collages, you can drag images around from one window to another, replace or reposition them. There\u2019s also an extensive library of customisable templates to choose from, including several square Instagram templates and Facebook cover sizes.
