So helpful!ĭo you want to upgrade? Take the free trial version for a test run. The best resource for deciding if this version is worth the upgrade is Adobe's comparison chart on their website. I really want to delve into editing my older videos as part of my memory keeping activities in the coming year. I will be sure to write about the Premier Elements (video) program next year. For me, it was the movement edit that sold me! I purchased both the Photoshop Elements and the Premiere Elements in a bundle. I'm a technology junkie and look forward to these updated releases each year. I decided to upgrade to the 2023 version because I love having the latest and greatest tools in digital creation. Adobe Photoshop Elements is my favorite program to use for creating, especially when it comes to making memory pages and scrapbook layouts. I would love updates in this area, but I don't know what I would request, as it's just a fantastic program for digital scrapbooking already. The digital scrapbooking (expert mode) interface has remained the same, so if you use the program primarily for digital scrapbooking without photo editing, you may not need to upgrade if you have a recent version. The new features focus on photo editing and creative additions that work well for sharing on social media. This version is a fun upgrade if you use PSE for photo editing and creating images for social media. Remember that you get a discount if you upgrade from an older version. If you can't afford the upgrade, consider putting it on your wish list for later or give Santa a few hints. The versions after 2018 especially have such significant improvements over older releases that you miss out if you don't have a newer program.


If you are using a version older than PSE 2020 and can afford to upgrade, I recommend it. After years of doing this, I already know the question I will get asked the most - "Do I need to upgrade?" - as always, my answer is, "It depends."
