A Google-powered map interface allows for both automatic and manual geo-tagging of photos. Leveraging Adobe's face recognition algorithms you can have photos automatically sorted into separate stacks for individual friends, colleagues or family members. Beyond the redesigned UI, you can now easily filter images with new People, Place and Event views. The Elements Organizer, the program's image management interface, sees changes as well. As with the previous version of Elements, you have access to the Adobe Camera Raw processing engine with Basic, Detail and Camera Calibration tabs for a wide range of editing options for Raw files. All of the functionality of Elements 10 remains for more seasoned users, however, and new lens blur filters (from Photoshop CS) and simulated drawing effects are found in Elements 11 as well. Addressing long-standing complaints of hard-to-read text on a dark UI of previous iterations, this new version uses a light gray background and larger type, along with a decidedly app-like icon-based interface to present novice users with only the tools they are likely to use. With this latest release, Adobe's Photoshop Elements team has concentrated primarily on improving workflow and the user experience rather than adding a long list of features and effects. A bundle containing both programs is also available for $149.99, or $119.99 for current bundle owners.
Adobe is also releasing Premiere Elements 11, its video-editing software, with an identical UI redesign and Quick Edit mode at the same price. It is available for $99.99 and previous version owners can upgrade for $79.99. A new Quick Edit mode offers a simplified interface for beginners, while seasoned users can take advantage of new lens blur filters, tilt-shift, vignetting and contrast editing tools. This new version introduces a redesigned UI featuring a brighter background and larger type for greater readability along with easier access to commonly used tools. Adobe has released version 11 of Photoshop Elements, its entry-level image-editing software.
