With this version Adobe put a lot of effort into making the Organizer run faster and more efficiently, but it also has two really nice new features:Īuto Curate, a new option in the upper right of the Organizer desktop, uses Content Intelligence to choose the best photos in any group of photos, based on clarity, lighting, composition, and people. In my opinion it would be much easier to overlay two photos in the Editor to get an artistic effect and use a gradient to provide some interesting color. Now you can mix two photos together intentionally to create an artistic effect. So, even though it isn’t perfect every time on the first click and drag, it’s a big step forward in making selections a lot easier! I especially like it for selecting thin items like the stem of a cherry or a shoe lace which are difficult to select with the Quick Selection tool.Įmbellish a photo by choosing a shape to highlight the main subject, and then choose an effect for both the shape and the background.īack in the day we had cameras that sometimes ended up with unintentional double exposures. Then I can continue clicking and dragging with Auto Selection to refine the selection, or I might switch to the Quick Selection tool, depending on which one is best for the situation.

I like starting with Auto Selection to grab the main object. But I found that most often, as with every selection tool, you’ll need to zoom in and refine the edges or remove a selected area that shouldn’t be there.

Click and drag a rectangle around the subject and when you let go of the mouse Photoshop Elements places a selection around it.ĭoes it make a perfect selection? Occasionally, yes.

Wouldn’t it be nice to select an object or person in a photo instantly with one tool? The new Auto Selection tool (nested with the Quick Selection tool) gets closer to that goal.
