The automatic functions help to start very. Later they will be more likely to change more manual processing. A typical example would be instead of the automatic optimization (Revise / Intelligent AutoCorrect) the use of the RAW processing even in jpeg format (File / Open as ... / Camera Raw etc).
After the purchase (after the trial has expired) Photoshop Elements 13, I quickly realized that undisclosed intuitively me all software functions. So I made myself looking for a helpful book. With this book, I then be able to achieve good work results.
I can now manage my photos relatively quickly, quickly edit or retouch something. Also working with layers, the crop and the integration succeed relatively well.
From my perspective, the program is fully recommended for the beginner as the advanced.
PS: It takes time to write reviews on Amazon. It would be nice if I get some feedback. Thank you.
