If you’re a beginner, are new to image editing in Photoshop or simply want to spend less time in front of the computer and more time shooting, then Photoshop Elements might be for you. While anyone can use either Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, there is a purposeful gap between these two image editing programs. Photoshop Elements offers lots of pre-made options for users that want to build something with their own photos but need a little help. However, lens corrections, saving snapshots, adjusting hue/saturation/luminance, and adding any kind of local adjustments with brushes or graduated filters can’t be done. It’s still possible to crop and rotate or remove red eye and you can even rate photos. Tools that do remain are basic editing features such as levels, saturation/vibrance sliders, sharpening and noise reduction, and calibration. Swathes of features are missing when compared to Photoshop’s ACR. Photoshop Elements also uses Adobe Camera Raw to edit raw files, but using a cut-down version with far less control. Photoshop also offers batch editing, with synchronisation options and users can rate or colour photos as well as filter by these as well. Remove red eye, save snapshots to revert to previous edit versions, or use presets to perfect images quickly. Healing, and adjustment brushes make selective, local edits possible, as do the graduated and radial filters. Levels, curves, colour, and HSL sliders allow users to make powerful adjustments, where details are enhanced or removed through the texture, clarity, sharpening, and noise reduction. The ACR window pops up as soon as a raw file is brought into Photoshop and offers a wide range of tools with which to edit photos. In Photoshop, raw files are also edited through Adobe Camera Raw. Photoshop’s version of Adobe Camera Raw is much more sophisticated than Photoshop Elements' cut down version.

With a Photography Plan subscription, you’ll get continual upgrades for free throughout the subscription and any new features or tools added will also be available. However, bear in mind that Adobe's Photography Plans, which are by far the cheapest way to get Photoshop, are annual agreements, even though you pay monthly. The advantage of running a subscription is that it’s cheaper on start-up. Photoshop, on the other hand is a subscription-only model.

However, to upgrade to future versions of Photoshop Elements (they are typically issued every year) you will need to pay again, although a reduced 'upgrade' price. Alternatively, you can purchase Photoshop Elements in a bundle with Premiere Elements, Adobe’s entry-level video editor for $149.99USD/£130.36.

There’s a 30 day free trial and the cost is currently just $99USD/£86.56 which you can upgrade to after the free trial expires without needing to download it again. Photoshop Elements is available for a one-time purchase. While subscriptions can mean a much smaller initial outlay, owning a product license outright can be more comforting to many. There are multiple subscription options for Photoshop but Photoshop Elements can only be purchased for a one-off fee.
