My photo editing software has long been Photoshop Elements. I love the user-friendly format and have been using it for years. I upgrade as the new versions come out and have recently upgraded to Photoshop Elements 12. Every time a new version comes out it’s interesting to explore and find out the great new added features.
With Photoshop Elements 12 you will still be able to organize, edit, create, and share your photos but you can do it more quickly and easily thanks to big, bold icons; a helpful Action bar; and the ability to choose from Quick, Guided, and Expert editing modes to fit your needs. It has never been easier to sort and manage photos based on people, places, and events using new Organizer views. Find your photos using visual tags that represent people, places, pets, events, and objects. Of course you will be able to create perfect shots from not so perfect pics with handy editing features that have been enhanced or added to Photoshop Elements 12!
Content Aware Move lets you easily move objects in your photo to get things to look the way you want. We all take shots where everyone is not where we want them, right? Now, take a look at how easily you can fix that.

I love that you can type text right onto the screen because I can scrapbook my memories right there with the pictures. I also love that you can trim away the footage that you don’t like, & just keep the best parts!

I like the Photomerge Group Shot feature. With 3 kids I can never get them to all look at the same time!
I like the idea that you can crop out people’s heads and replace them with a better photo of them in group shots to make that perfect photo!
Thanks !
I love that you can take photos on the go and then work with them in the program!
I like the spot healing brush for fixing blemishes and owies, because my boys get scrapes and cuts that I like to pretend are not there for the pictures that go on my wall :o)
I think the three editing modes would be quite helpful
I like that you can use it on a tablet.
I love that you can Easily move objects.
“Move objects in a photo and have the background automatically filled in with Content-Aware Move.”
Quick Frames, Effects, and Textures let you apply dynamic effects with ease.
It can make photos awesome!
Pet eye correction! I have a ton of photos with my kids and our dog where my dogs eyes are “glowing” this would be perfect to fix them!
I would use all of the features but mostly the optimizing for web feature.
I love the Easily Move Objects feature!! I have found myself trying to do this kind of thing a lot! Making it easier would be so awesome!!!
I like the mapping feature. I think it would make organizing photos easier. The Pet Eye Correction would be awesome, too!
We do lots of pet pictures cats and dogs so be able to do eye corrections is important to us.
I would use the pet-eye correction for sure!!
