New Content-Updated backgrounds, skies, and patterns are included in the new version and it also includes more modern collage and slideshow templates.Īpple M1 Support-This means users of new Macs should see a performance bump of up to 45%. One expects that we’ll also see an iOS version down the road. Mobile Version-The new Android app, in beta, lets you add media from your phone and share your creations via the cloud. Web Version of Elements-A new website companion for Elements lets you see your media online and create slideshows and collages.

Smaller Program Size and Faster Startup-Adobe claims that installation is 30% faster and program startup is 50% faster, thanks to the program taking up 30% less disk space. Peek-Through Overlays-A new Guided Edit that makes it look like the photo’s subject is peeking through vegetation, flowers, or other overlays and blur the background. That makes it hard to find the one you’re looking for, so thankfully this year’s version adds search.

Search for Guided Edits-These step-by-step sophisticated effects have gotten so numerous with more coming in years of Elements updates. It lets you animate a selected object in the image, rather than overlaying animated particles the way the earlier tool did. Moving Elements-This new feature is related to but different from Moving Photos. The program is already chockablock with photo tools and effects, but the 2023 update adds not only new creative tools, but-most excitingly-introduces a companion mobile app and a beta web version of the program.
