Amazing photos. Creative keepsakes. Forever memories. The Adobe Elements team has announced the release of Photoshop Elements 2020.

Ready to see it in action? Here's my video review:

Each year the team at Adobe work hard to bring us a great new edition of Photoshop Elements. The 2020 release focuses on:

  • Expanded automation powered by Adobe Sensei AI technology that makes it a snap to get started for new users while offering flexible creative options for Elements veterans.
  • Five brand-new guided edits that help you discover easy ways to make incredible creations and effects that you can customize to look exactly the way you want.
  • Enhanced capabilities for memory keepers of all skill levels to create and share memes, collages, and animated GIFs. Create fun photo projects with the ability to order photo prints, gifts, and gear right inside Photoshop Elements.

New Features

Automatically colorize your photos—Change up the colors in your photos or give black-and-whites new life with automatic colorization.

  • After

One-click subject selection—Select the subject of your photo with a single click. Then easily apply an effect, or cut out your subject and add it to another photo.

Smooth skin automatically—Make people look their best with skin smoothing.

Enjoy new Auto Creations—B&W Selection, Pattern Brush, Painterly, and Depth of Field effects are automatically applied to your photos and delivered to you in the home screen, and there’s always room to add your personal touch. It gives you a starting point for creative photo edits.

Enjoy Better Performance and expanded HEIF and HEVC support

The team at Adobe worked hard to improve the performance of Photoshop Elements Elements, and this year you’ll experience even speedier performance for everyday tasks. With the 2020 release, you can also import, and edit HEIF photo files and HEVC video files on Windows as well as MacOS.

Should You Upgrade?

In my video review, I share who should upgrade, but to summarise...

If you are using a version without a year in the name. If you have Photoshop Elements 15 or earlier, it's time to upgrade! So many new features have been added since then!

If you find Organizer is a bit slow, its time to upgrade! Each year Organizer's performance improved. In PSE2020 Organizer the People view and face recognition has been greatly improved.

If you would like to edit portraits but don't know where to start, PSE 2020 Perfect Portrait will help you.

You can purchase Photoshop Elements 2020 from Amazon today!

Happy Scrapping!
