Adobe upgrades Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements apps

Adobe has announced its next major upgrades to its popular Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements applications, with each being bumped up to version 13, according to 9to5mac.

Both apps add new editing features, such as “photomerge compose” for lifting subjects from one photo and quickly moving them into another with proper lighting and other effects. New cropping tools allow the users to automatically compose perfectly cropped by detecting faces and other details and determining how to best frame them in the shot.

Premiere Elements 13 adds new features for stabilizing shaky video footage and quickly editing together a home movie, complete with audio, themed transitions, and more. Both apps benefit from a new “guided edits” feature that walks you through a variety of tasks within the software.

The updates will be available later this year for $150 together, or individually for $100 each. Users who own the current version will be eligible for a discounted upgrade price.
