New for Version 11

Enhanced User Interface

Now brighter and more intuitive, the Elements 11 UI with its intuitive Organizer makes it easier to navigate through, view and manage your pictures based on people, places and events. Choose People to filter your library down to just the photos that have a specific person in them. In Places, Map view allows you to zoom in on a particular location in the world and see which photos you captured there. Events organizes your images around what was going on when you captured them, such as a holiday, a sporting event or concert, or a day at the beach. Additionally, you can choose whatever kind of tag best suits each photo, such as the name of your pet or a particular craft that interests you, to quickly find all photos bearing that tag later. The Smart Tag feature automatically analyzes all your photos and videos to make finding them even faster. Quickly locate all blurry shots so you can delete them, or all in-focus shots to find your best work right away. Bigger, bolder icons, an Action bar, and the ability to select Quick, Guided and Expert editing modes all help simplify the tasks of organizing, editing and creating. You still have the flexibility to customize the interface to your liking

Quick Editing Mode

Make fast fixes to your photos, selecting from drop-down menus for Smart Fix, Lighting, Color, Balance and Sharpen. Lighting, for example, gives you adjustment options for Shadows, Midtones, Highlights and Exposure. With just a click, you can make significant improvements to your images in the Quick editing mode

Guided Edits

For a more in-depth, step-by-step walkthrough for making finer, more detailed fixes to your images, choose the Guided editing mode. Produce professional-grade effects by following intuitive steps in over 25 Guided Edits. Some of the new options at your disposal include Vignette, Tilt-Shift, and High/Low Key. Vignette effects draw attention to the center of your photo, Tilt-Shift effects make your images look like miniature scenes, and High/Low Key effects add energy or drama with high levels of white or black. Choose from Touchups like Adjust Levels, Brightness and Contrast, Correct Skin Tones, Crop Photo, Enhance Colors, Lighten and Darken, Perfect Portrait, Recompose, Remove a Color Cast, Rotate and Straighten, Scratches and Blemishes, and Sharpen. Sliders let you fine-tune these touchups

Expert Editing Mode

If you want the greatest amount of control over your editing, work in Expert mode. Make fine adjustments to Solid Color, Gradient, Pattern, Levels, Brightness / Contrast, Hue / Saturation, Gradient Map, Photo Filter, and Threshold, and choose and customize effects like Invert and Posterize

Filter Effects

New options give you more creative possibilities, including transforming your photos into illustrations: Just click to apply Comic, Graphic Novel, and Pen & Ink filters. You can choose from presets within each filter effect to further customize the look of your images: Try Painted Gray, Fine Detail, Hard Edges and Twisted Plot for the Graphic Novel filter; Comic, Grayscale, Sunny Day and Old Print for the Comic filter; or Basic Blue, Purple, Gray Tones and Green Inversion for Pen & Ink. Plus, sliders give you the ability to fine tune the presets, adjusting qualities like darkness, contrast and vibrance. You can also add further touches, like changing the blend mode to Luminosity, instantly turning a Painted Gray Graphic Novel picture into a color one

Elements 11 simplifies the task of selecting and refining the edges of hair and other tricky content, enabling you to add relatives to family portraits, put a friend up on stage with her favorite musician, and more.
