Brief Overview of Photoshop Elements 10 New features

The new Photoshop Elements 10 offers many new features for our photography fans, and still at a very affordable price at $80.00. You will find a lot of practical features you can use for your next editing!  Here are some….

In the Full Edit mode, there are three new text tools in the new package that you can use to type text on a shape, on selection or on a custom path that you draw.  Another feature is that Adobe has added more than 30 new options of effects and filters when you are using  the Smart Brush tool.  You can now paint a Pencil Sketch or Oil Pastel effect  over an area of an image, easily add snow, or apply other options from tints and texture area.  Another helpful feature is the Crop tool grid overlay, which applies the Rule of Thirds to help you with determining natural focus points in your images.

In the Guided Edit mode, try the new Depth of Field tool if you ever want to turn your photo quickly into something soft and dreamy. The new Orton Effect is popularized by the photographer, Michael Orton.  Using image blur and gradient tool on a selected focus area, you will be able to create a soft glowing effect.  Thinking of a way to make an image more interesting? Try the new Photo Stack tool, which breaks up a single image into separate pieces of smaller pictures, allowing you to reposition or resize them into a fun collage with custom borders and background.

To share and to create, there are new options of the different kinds of books you can make with your photos. And as for sharing, you have now the ability to tag your photos with the new Face-tagging to Facebook feature, and sharing videos to YouTube directly from the Organizer.
