Successful Upgrade - mainly because 64bit

You just have to go to the said website and enter his code. After that you will download a downloader, which in turn downloads PSE13. At the same time you your Serial appears that should save her. The download of about 3.5GB took me 8 Minutes, the installation then a few more minutes. I recommend PSE also register online in your Adobe ID. So shall your Serail is stored in your profile and ye have always at hand in case of a new installation.

Here's a tip for all:

I could not log in with my Adobe ID, because PSE has simply can not connect to the Internet, although the connection is ok. This can happen if you have other versions of PSE on his PC. In this case it is sufficient to delete the host file in the rule. This can be found under: C / Windows / System32 / drivers / etc
then it should work (was at least for me so)

PSE13 should most people rich who do not necessarily have to resort to the expensive subscription version of PS CC. All common and most frequently used tools are on board. Everything would enumerate beyond the scope (there are not in vain 1000 pages books about it;)). Therefore, I will confine myself to the differences PSE12, which I have used before.

- 64-bit support: PSE13 starts noticeably faster on my SSD, and is also much smoother to operate as PSE12. Advanced effects such as content aware fill a larger area to be processed much more quickly
- Support high-resolution display
- Effects are presented with a number of pre-selections that can be selected directly
- When cropping also 4 preliminary rounds are displayed, so you can choose between several opportunities faster
- Significantly more possibilities in the treatment of black and white photos in quick and Assisstent mode
- Create Facebook photos (which I unfortunately have not seen the Help page on Adobe.de not work)

In summary did not really added new tools. Some tools work now but significantly more accurate and / or more efficient.

Apart from that, the program is now tidier, what stands out above all in the effects, in wizard mode or in fast mode, because everything is beautiful naturally by category. Also that every effect has now received several sample images, it facilitates the right tool for their photo to be found.

I use mostly like the Assisstent mode to apply an effect, and these then in expert mode by adapting the work to the levels automatically created for me.

During an update would not be worth of PSE11 to 12 in my opinion, in my opinion it already worth here. Solely for 64bit and now lighter and faster workflow is worth the purchase because I can hereby work noticeably faster than with the previous version. For me to be the perfect complement to Lightroom.
