Adobe Photoshop Elements 2025 – New Features
Released 1st October 2024 Adobe Photoshop Elements 2025 new features are quite impressive. Lots of useful practical new tools including the Remove Tool which to be fair has been available in Photoshop since 2023 but hey ho better late than never and to be fair it does work well.
Although to be fair 2025 is not such a massive leap from Photoshop Elements 2024 which on its release came with a much more visually accessible and user friendly interface and included a number of very clever updates including the Quick Actions Panel.
So as you might expect as well as the Remove tool which lets you easily ‘brush out’ unneeded parts of an image it also comes with the Depth Blur which obviously will be mega popular with photographers into creating realistic depth of field.
Adobe Photoshop Elements AI Tools
All Adobe’s Creative Cloud AI tools, otherwise known as Intellisense, run on the Firefly engine which is their software behind these tools. Photoshop Elements isn’t actually part of the actual Adobe Creative Cloud suite and is purchased seperately to the others but it shares some similiar AI features to Photoshop.
Depth Blur Tool
The Depth Blur Tool in Elements gives you control over the existing blokeh in a photograph or lets you add it from scratch. It’s extremely precise, choose a focal point then let Depth Blur create blur where needed. It can do this automatically or you can tweak the distance, range and strength of the blur yourself.
Guided Edits in Adobe Photoshop Elements
There’s a selection of guided edits available that make changes a breeze. You can use them to change backgrounds, add ‘fun effects’, textures and graphics with virtually the click of a mouse.
Adobe Photoshop Elements & Colour
Using the new AI automatic selection tools colours in any part of a photo can be selected then new colours, hue and saturation effects etc can be applied virtually instantly.
Photoshop Elements and Collage Maker
Open two or more images then go to:
Create >Photo Collage
Select a Size and Theme from the Options, choose Autofill with selected images contained in Photo Bin Click OK
You can then customise the collage to your own design using the features contained in the Create Panel.
Save as a PSD (Photoshop file) to edit it later on or even open it in Photoshop.
To print simply go to File >Print (Com + P or Cont + P)
And finally currently in Beta are additional apps for working with Elements on the go, these let you access, retouch, edit and share work whilst on the move. It includes the quick actions feature overlays, collages and also lets you remove backgrounds easily. Check out more about Adobe Firefly
