In addition to the common effects and corrections, and to the unique tools such as Open Closed Eyes, these Elements softwares are designed with highly-automated workflows, step-by-step Guided Edits, and many one-click tools that allow you to bypass a lot of the technical stuff and jump to the creative part.

With Photoshop Elements 2018, your photos can be turned into true works of art after you go through the numerous effects, corrections, and other filters offered. In addition to this there are special features for creating calendars, greeting cards, photo collages, and similar print media with your photos. Using the automated features, with a simple click here and there, you can change colors, lighting, and textures, turn photos into illustrations, paint over photos, move objects, open closed eyes, turn frowns into smiles, whiten teeth, replace backgrounds, and so much more. You can also send your edited photos to friends and family on social media directly from the program.

Premiere Elements 2018 supports up to Ultra HD 4K resolution and offers a simple, drag-and-drop interface with many functions requiring no more than a drag or a click or two. Premiere Elements lets you add graphics, animated titles, transitions, motion menus, cartoon looks, effects that move with the subject, dozens of musical scores, hundreds of sound effects, and more. It also allows you to make corrections such as auto-fix shaky footage, remove haze to make scenes clearer, and fix audio problems. You can also select from instant themed templates and choose to use touch-enabled quick edits.

The Guided Edits in the two applications allow you to apply a lot of creative tools by simply following the step-by-step guidance indicated on the screen. These edits include Replace Background, Artistic Overlay Effects, Watercolors, Double Exposures, Freeze Frames with Motion Titles, and Bounce-Back Effects, and you mainly only need to focus on the creative part as the software takes care of the rest.

The applications are delivered to you on DVDs. The applications can be installed on up to two computers and used on one at a time, and you can easily move them from computer to computer.
