The results are incredibly lifelike given that whole thing can be done in a matter of seconds. The coolest feature, though, has to be Open Closed Eyes, which allows you to select two frames, and replace the closed eyes in one with the open eyes from another.
Once you've selected your shots, you can use the program's new Guided Edits and a new feature called Automatic Selection to do things like drop in a new background, create a double exposure effect using two of your images, or add 'artistic' overlays. So if you have a group of 200 images, you can ask Photoshop Elements to cull those down automatically to just 15. It starts with an easy-to-use Organizer view and something called Auto Curation, which uses computer vision and some nifty algorithms to guess (because it can't REALLY know, can it?) which of your images are the best. Photoshop Elements 2018 tackles the same problem that everyone-Google's Photos App, Apple Photos, etc.-is trying to tackle: how do you help the typical shutterbug find their best images out of the thousands they take every week on their smartphone, and enhance those images so they look 'professional' and worth sharing on social media?Īs with everybody else, Adobe is leaning heavily on machine learning and computer vision (different types of 'AI') for this trick.
The new, user-friendly versions of Adobe's photo and video editors come with some really creative and easy-to-use features that the company says are aimed at "memory keepers." The idea was to create two programs that make finding, enhancing and sharing the precious memories hidden away inside random memory cards, hard drives and (most likely) smartphones almost totally automatic. While the professional photography market waits with bated breath to see what Adobe has in store for us at AdobeMAX, the company behind Lightroom and Photoshop unveiled something that appeals to a bit broader of an audience today: Photoshop Elements 2018 and Premiere Elements 2018. A before and after of Photoshop Elements' new Open Closed Eyes featured at work.
