![]() ![]() Newer computers and software have new capabilities. There isn't some grand conspiracy going on. And every profession requires people to remain current with their toolset. But still, I am able to use their software well enough to do my job. I was part of the pre-release program for Bridge and reported literally hundreds of issues to the developers. I understand the importance of working tools. I work as a professional photographer (make my living exclusively from photography) and I use Photoshop, Bridge, and Lightroom Classic every single day. ![]() On Windows, a bunch of older but serviceable computers are not usable with Windows 11 so its not just Apple. Upgrading hardware to stay in sync with software changes is just a part of modern computing. I found a refurb MacBook Air on Apple's online store for ~US$1200 that I'm eyeing. I own a 2015 15" MBP that I love but yes, sadly, I'll have to upgrade in the next year. Apple has an official list of supported computers on its Sonoma page (scroll to the bottom.) Newer Intel Macs can run Ventura and Sonoma (released yesterday). I have it on two Intel/Monterey Macs including my work 2019 MacBook Pro and its just fine. You DO NOT need to upgrade macOS to run PS 25.0. I'm not exactly an Adobe cheerleader but hyperbole and misinformation aren't helpful. It's up to the consumer to pay and upgrade the equipment to handle it. Do you expect the fuel company to pay for that? No. It's like asking to add flex fuel or rechargeable electric battery capabilities to my 1990s car. Older computers cannot handle the GPU loads alone required to run newer features makes that a moot point. If it can't update your OS or Adobe Creative Cloud, you can continue to use the version that is compatible, but you still need to pay for licensing.ĭemanding Adobe add newer features to older versions is not possible. ![]() If your hardware/OS can handle the new features then by all means take advantage of it, but its not a required upgrade. Adobe has a responsibility to keep their software compatible with the current OS releases for Windows and Apple. What "consumer promise" was ever given?Īccess to the newer features is the responsibility of the user to maintain compatibility. You are paying a subscription fee for access to the software and add-ons like fonts, Express, etc - period. ![]() Includes a 2-Device perpetual license for Mac computers (Intel or M1/M2).Your argument is flawed and has been debated since Creative Cloud was released in 2013. The app’s Catalog tool – which includes albums, keyword tags, people, locations and more – is now automatically backed up too, ensuring none of your hard organisational work will go to unnecessary waste. Users also gain a step-by-step tool for moving, scaling and/or duplicating objects, along with the ability to tweak the position of people’s faces to ensure they’re 'looking' in the right direction. Elsewhere, a modern duotone effect has been added with a focus on social media. New guided Edit tools including one that helps transform dull landscapes by making it easy to swap out skies, remove haze and even erase unwanted objects. Photoshop Elements also makes a giant stride into the poster market by introducing 'quote graphics' – the ability to add personalised messages to existing pictures using a new tool packed with pre-set templates and options for both customising and animating images. The feature makes use of both 2D and 3D camera motion, powered by Adobe’s Sensei AI technology, to generate striking animated GIFs. And multiple backup options help keep your valuable photos save from PC disaster.Ī major new feature is the ability to transform a static photo into a moving image with just one click. Your favourite images can be shared with others via Google Maps, iPhones, your own online album, and more.

It’s built around Sensei AI technology, which aims to take the hassle out of editing by providing a series of what’s known as 'guided edits' to simplify popular tasks, whether it’s automatically colourising old black and white photos, replacing backgrounds to add a bit more vibrancy, or making one-click selections of awkwardly shaped objects. The program makes it easy to organise your images into albums, for instance, and tag them with keywords so they're easy to locate later. Adobe Photoshop Elements is the consumer version of Photoshop: low cost, easy to use, yet still full of powerful photo editing and management features. ![]()
