A nice Light package, but with teething problems

If you decide to Adobe for the "element" solutions has always been a diet version of the big brothers. That is very simple, as is the case with Photoshop and Premiere that a smaller version of the program exists, which mainly users are addressed that do not belong to the professional or occupational users. In this box you have so be 2 of these programs.

The box is small and out of the cover is not moving here. In addition to the media can be found 2 brief instructions before to help the new users to get started, for more it is not enough so as well, but is still thought along nicely. Especially since Beiliege-booklets and manuals are always more online retrieve PDF and are rare.

Potoshop element:
The installation went quick and without problems. After the usual Adobe ID Regestrierung's is also going on already. Who has ever worked with Ps, is familiar with the so-called levels. This can also be found here. Allgmein can say that Adobe has put an emphasis on the functional almost "rudimentary" options in the element version is - the term course takes a little bit too short - to beautify and edit photo work. The essential tools are available for this purpose, of the masks through to liquefaction. In addition, it also has the ability to switch between three operating modes, the "expert" all the way down to "fast", if you really do not have time or desire to deal with the program to set incoming apart and simply such as a filter for the image searches , This is for complete newbies initially certainly a help to sit down carefully examines the possibilities. Very pleased me for the amateur photographers among us, that the possibility of Camera RAW processing is included. So you can reinladen directly the raw data from the camera and editing and has complete data yield the image available. Very nice.

Premiere Elements:
Here I was at first, admittedly, shortly before the task and very close to the frustration. The program did not start after installing simply and consistently refused. Ultimately, it turned out that Premiere rumzickte in use laptop hardware with dual graphics cards and simply times refused to work. That this could be a problem was to the effect surprising, since in Photoshop this problem did not exist, so you do not quickly come to a solution. Unfortunately, the program also hooked when rendering the footage, though there is enough power to the requirements. Of course, Premiere is as usual a power eater, but that's still a shame. Nevertheless, I was surprised here, the sheer abundance of Elements version. I had already been actively involved in the past with the older brother of a previous version, have even there but hardly used, as there is in this light version. A rich trove of effects, overlays and filters, which are unlikely to leave to be desired to wait for the user. If you want to correct the exposure, you can likewise do, besides the usual options for interposed fades, transitions, overlays, etc. An audio processing is also on board, and I'm not sure here how this previous versions already had this. This save in the depths not external programs, this is for adjusting the holiday but all meet.

Conclusion:
The premiere issue in conjunction with the slightly hakeligen use has the pleasure little clouded a little. Otherwise, I can say that this package for hobbyists is an absolutely adequate opportunity with two really strong programs to edit photos by sufficient and also in an attractive and affordable price range. You can not do little wrong.
