Tools in the toolbox have also been moved into seperate categories, such as View, Select, Enhance, Draw and Modify.Įlements 11 also adopts the three editing modes – Quick, Guided and Expert. You’ll find the options bar has now been moved to the bottom of the interface in Elements 11. Icons and palettes are much larger than those in previous versions, which suggests Adobe’s focus is on making sure the interface isn’t a daunting place for inexperienced users, or those who haven’t used the software before. Switching from the organizer to the full editing area reveals it’s not only the organizer that adopts the new, friendlier looking interface. These options are available from the share tab within the organizer, but unfortunately there’s no option to export images directly to Twitter.įrom the top right of the organizer you have various options to export your images directly to social media channels, such as Facebook, YouTube and Flickr. Not forgetting the importance of sharing images, Elements 11 supports direct uploading to emails and social media channels such as Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo and Flickr. Finding the shots you add to the events area is also made very easy thanks to a new calendar column on the far right of the interface. Most of the main options have been repositioned from the top to a horizontal task bar at the bottom.Įlsewhere in the organizer, the new events view lets users assemble shots based on the date, month and year they were taken. The organizer sports a cleaner looking interface. Provided you have an Internet connection, the places view is a great area of the organizer to plot an image or group of images, and if your camera supports GPS, Elements 11 will now recognise the coordinates before automatically adding the images to its integrated Google map. These changes have made it much easier to navigate, and not only can you view full-screen image previews, it’s easier to manage your photos based on the people in them, where they were taken, or when they were taken.

Open the Organizer and the first obvious differences are the larger icons and cleaner looking interface.

Unlike Photoshop, which is aimed at professionals who like to concentrate on editing their shots with the finest control, Elements 11 offers more ways to organise and share images.
