Before the digital photo and video processing was reserved for professionals. Today the picture is more widely addressed in post-production and software tools allow you to work and refine images. In this Adobe suite offers a complete set. Photoshop elements 13 is suitable for three types of use, fast, guided and expert. So everyone is benefiting according to its level. The treatment options are imaged by icons, very convenient. The tools are many and mostly you can use layers. Layers allow very many treatment options as in the full version of Photoshop. The latter is nonetheless more meaty ... and the price is not the same. A regret for Photoshop element that has an aspect not very pro when these opportunities come close. Photoshop elements running smoothly and sufficient for the majority of photographers who just want to treat their images without spending hours to learn complex software. First element 13 is in the same register. Simple, effective and above all reliable. For using Sony Vegas Platinum, I know how painful it is to be confronted with bugs in packages. First with elements I have not met any concern, operations are fluid on the timeline and everything went smoothly. Getting started is easy. I only regret that the effects are not more numerous and more pros particular for texts. This suite will suit most users. Considering its potential and especially its reasonable price it's a great choice.
