This is for someone like me who has grown up in times of analog photography, of course an impressive thing.
Good is the division of the editing screen in five areas (top, bottom, center, left, right), each of which has its solid features.
Good is also the interaction with other Adobe products such as Lightroom. Photos can be pre-processed and then passed for further effects on element there. Upon completion of the processing there, the picture will automatically return to Lightroom.
Now to some critical remarks:
(1) The program opens up without textbook, instructional video or personal trainer - at least for me - as well as not. Therefore, I recommend definitely mitzubestellen an exercise program or to attend a course.
(2) Without a large monitor with a minimum of 24 inches a sensible work with the program is not as easy as ever any window above the other, and therefore often postponed photos or toolbars or need to be resized. Therefore, I recommend (according to its own long-suffering experience) directly mitzubestellen a large monitor (so far it has not yet).
(3) The functions of element 13 although already come close to the full version of Photoshop zoom, but some important or interesting functions or sub-functions are missing but, unfortunately. And just who would you want to take advantage. It may be that you have the function on its own in the mind, or that they will be shown a variety of professional journals or composing DVDs - if I the whole thing with element 13 can not be implemented, then frustet me the latest during the third or fourth time quite violently. *
Conclusion: Photoshop Elements is a pretty cool program that can be edited with the really cool photos. The price - currently 58-85 - is quite appropriate and justified by the many functions. Element 13 is to try and see if the software is there something for someone who is very good. But who knows from the outset that he will be working permanently with Adobe products, might increase rather directly in Photoshop CC. This reduces the learning curve, which is determined by slightly different user interfaces and functions.
* Unsympathetic course, are the significantly higher costs for Photoshop CC (currently less than 12 per month) and the subscription model of this software.
