What is Photo Essentials
You Get Five Essential Tools
onOne Photo Essentials is a collection of 5 tools that will help you get the most out of Adobe Photoshop Elements. Photo Essentials offers an even greater selection of exciting one-click photo effects, edges, frames and adornments, and extends the capabilities of Photoshop Elements by making tough to mask subjects easier to remove from backgrounds and by maintaining image quality when making enlargements from small files.
Make it Better
Take the guesswork out of color correction with the patented process of side-by-side comparisons to achieve the desired look.
- New technology corrects the brightness and contrast instantly, bringing all the detail alive, even images that you would consider too dark.
- Rather than cryptic sliders, you simply answer a series of visual questions to pick the best settings.
- Make professional image adjustments without the need to understand the complex image controls of Photoshop Elements.
Cut It Out
Cut It Out makes removing unwanted backgrounds from complex subjects easier than ever. How many times have you wanted to take a person out of one picture and put them in to another, but have been stopped by difficult areas like hair in your subject. The Cut it Out module's intuitive set of tools makes it easy to paint away an unwanted background leaving your subject to be placed onto a new background.
- Cut it Out maintains all of the small details such as hair, smoke, glass and netting.
- Unique color decontamination technology can paint away unwanted colors through semi-transparent subjects so they blend naturally with a new background.
Make it Cool
Have fun with your photos with a library of professional looking effects that you can add to your image in one-click. Want to convert your image to powerful black and white like Ansel Adams, or an impressionist painting like Monet? With Make It Cool you can do it instantly.
- Includes almost 100 effects to simulate classic film, filter and darkroom techniques like sepia toning and cross processing.
- Give your image the modern look of HDR without the complexity of multiple shots.
- Stack multiple effects on top of each other to mix and match and create your own unique effects that you can save and share with your friends.
- Add a complete vintage look including a border instantly.
Frame It
Frame It gives you the perfect finishing touch to your images. Now it is easy to add realistic film and darkroom edge and border effects to your images. But why stop at the darkroom, you can add artistic edges like torn paper, brush strokes, magazine covers or greeting cards, even realistic frames and mats you would hang on the walls. The creative possibilities are limitless with Frame It.
- Stack multiple frames to create your own unique look.
- Packed with hundreds of edges and frames to choose from.
- Powerful built-in browser which allows you to see multiple frames and then preview them side-by-side on your image to see which one looks the best.
Enlarge It
Ever wanted to create a poster print from your favorite image, but have been disappointed at the fuzzy looking results? Now with Enlarge It you can increase image size without the loss of sharpness and detail that you would normally expect. The Enlarge It module can resize your images up to four times and still maintain sharp edges and small details.
- It is a must for any photo enthusiast who makes poster prints or needs to crop a section out of an image to get just the right composition.
- Great for printing images from camera phones and even digital video camera still frames.
- Create giant tiled mural mosaics that you can print on your home printer.
What's New in Photo Essentials?
NEW! Masking Tools in Make it Cool
With the new masking tools, the Masking Bug and Masking Brush in Make It Cool, you are in complete control of how each effect is applied. The Masking Brush lets you paint each effect in or out. For example, you can paint in a skin smoothing effect to retouch a portrait without softening the rest of the image. The new Masking Bug lets you create round or square gradient effects. It’s perfect for adding vignettes or darkening the sky.
NEW! Vintage Effects in Make it Cool
All the rage now, the new vintage effects in Make It Cool give your images the hip, old school look. In a single click you can turn back time, add a texture and even a border.
NEW! Design Elements in Frame It
Frame It includes tons of new design elements including complete layouts, backgrounds, textures and adornments. These include the new Bohemian and Whimsy categories perfect for scrapbooking.
NEW! Paint-In Effects in Make it Cool
The new paint-in effects in Make It Cool give you a collection of everyday-use tools to selectively lighten, darken, and increase color, contrast or dynamic range. Use them as a fast way to optimize your image before you add effects.
NEW! Any Size Made Easy in Enlarge It
Have you ever tried making an 8x10 print from your digital camera file? You can't get it to fit that 8x10 size—it's either 8x12 or 7x10—because most digital camera sensors are a different aspect ratio from common paper sizes. This forces you to crop your image to get it to fit a specific paper size, and it can be difficult to determine how to do this and whether to do it before or after you resize the image. Enlarge It comes to the rescue with over sixty built-in document size presets that allow you to precisely crop and resize your image in one simple step.
NEW! Tiling in Enlarge It
Now you can get large format printing from a small format printer, quickly and easily. The new Tiling feature divides an enlargement into smaller pieces, preparing it for printing on a standard-sized printer. Just specify the paper size and overlap option and Enlarge It will automatically resize the image and create individual tiles that are ready for printing.
NEW! Gallery Wrap in Enlarge It
When making enlargements for canvas, it is common to wrap a portion of the image around the wooden stretcher bars, creating a gallery wrap. However, when wrapping an image in this way, important detail can be lost near the edges. The updated Gallery Wrap feature in Enlarge It automatically creates extended margins by reflecting or stretching the areas near the edge of the image allowing you to create a gallery wrap without sacrificing any of the original image.
