\nPhotoshop is one of the most known photo editing programs out there on the market. It also has the reputation of being extremely expensive and complicated. Adobe’s Elements line of software is here to put those ideas to rest. Photoshop Elements 12 is a stripped down version of the full Photoshop and the answer to that expensive price tag. The elements version of photoshop is excellent for light editing, organizing your photos, and sharing them online. This balance is where you are going to see Elements beat out many other programs at this level. Some will be better at organization, while lacking in the editing arena. This is because Adobe created Elements program with the everyday photographer in mind. This program is ideal for the photographer that is going to make light edits like cropping and minor touch ups then share their images with friends and family online. This program is available for $89.99-$99.99.<\/p>\n
