Photoshop Elements 2023 For Dummies

Introduction

It’s almost 2023, and it’s time to look at a new release of Photoshop Elements. This version of Elements has some exciting new features with some marvelous new Guided Edits, a terrific new way to share your photos and video slide presentations, and the capability to make elements in your photos move — like animating a waterfall in the background while your subjects remain static in the foreground. You also find more improvements in performance and some faster ways to move around the Organizer.

About This Book

This book is an effort to provide the most comprehensive view of a wildly feature-rich program as we can. Additionally, this book is written for a cross-platform audience. If you’re a Mac user, you’ll find all you need to work in Elements 2023 for the Mac, exactly the same as when we refer to using Elements on Windows.

In Photoshop Elements 2023, you find four new Guided Edits: the Peek Through Overlay; Perfect Portrait; Content Refresh in Replace Background; and Content Refresh in Pattern Brush. To discover how to use Guided Edits, take a look at Chapter 19. In addition to the new Guided Edits, you’ll also find a Guided Edit Search option. So many Guided Edits have been added in Elements that it can be downright confusing to pick the one you want to use. Now you can simply type in a keyword and the search results show you Guided Edits containing your search criteria. We explain how to use this new search feature in Chapter 3.
