The other images are then transformed repositioned, stretched, or skewed as necessary so that overlapping content layer is matched.

Overlapping content is still matched. The reference image is placed at the center. This is best suited for creating wide panoramas. Aligns and transforms the images as if they were for mapping the inside a sphere.

Select one of the following options:. In version 6 Photo merge got some improvements: On one side the panorama function was improved, on the other side two new opportunities were added with whom several pictures can be blended together with each other.

The first of them is Photo merge group picture. No matter if one person has closed eyes on one picture or on the next one a person looks to the side - for group photos in most cases always one person has failed to get properly on the photo.

Here the new Photomerge group picture-function comes to rescue: Because with this one can distinctly select poses and face expressions from different pictures and combine them on one picture.

Also added was the wizard Photo merge faces. Compared to the other Photo merge-wizards seems nevertheless merely like a function for fun. With its help facial attributes like eyes, ears, nose or mouth can be transferred from one motive to another. The selection toos were expanded by a new method.

By the help of the quick selection a selection can be drawn like using a brush. The therefore applied brush remembers the color areas, which one "painted over" and creates a selection from it. Additionally he supplements the selection by all equal colors automatically, which are adjacent to the selection area.

The quick selection tool is supplemented by the tool option improve border , with its help one can improve the selection afterwards. With simple slide controls a prior created selection can be rounded up, shrunk, enlarged or made smoother.

Also new is the possibility to transform a photo into a black and white picture through a wizard. Thereby several preferences are available to the user like "infrared effect", "portrait" or "newspaper", from which one can choose. All these preferences basically differ to each other only how the single color channels red, green and blue are implemented and which contrast is set. The names give you raw indications for this.

If one doesn't like the according preference, each single color channels as well as the contrast can be adjusted together or separately. Also the organizer has experienced some expansions. On one side the correction area has got new functions, which make quick changes on pictures possible for the user without having to start the editor itself. To these the automatically correction of color, tone value, contrast, sharpness or red eyes but also an extraction option can be counted.

On the other side in the area creation the slide show was equipped with new functions. Even if one today hasn't special video software available like for example "Premiere Elements", one now can create picture presentations with over blending's, movement- and zoom effects, sounds or text. For the organization and management of someone's pictures the area organizing serves, which is located behind the tabulator with the same name.

Here the new Smart-Albums were added. With its help one can search for existing pictures in the organizer by reference to diverse criteria like file name, size, alteration date or file format and can summarize them in logical groups. In the matter of contents there are merely few really new functions. Furthermore these are expansions of the picture processing functions so far.

To be highlighted in the first place is the Action Player , which makes predefined actions possible, which contain several single steps, to apply them on one picture.

Moreover with the Smart brush-tool a completely new function has been added, with whom filter effects can be applied to a picture quick and easily. Prerequisite is just a registration on the Photoshop-Website photoshop. Furthermore there are also commercial offerings, with which one e. Additionally the user gets access to so called "Premium-Content", which among others contains new templates or tutorials.

This Premium-Service however demands a annual membership against charge. The different opportunities as well as the prices one can get to know on the manufacturer's website.

The dark user interface introduced in version 6 now can be adjusted in the matter of brightness. So the colors of the program user interface can be adjusted ether even darker or brighter. The font color is adjusted automatically, so that it is still good readable. Finally indeed just Windows should adjust the appearance of windows, fonts and surfaces and not the software, which runs under Windows.

One of the most thrilling features of the sevens version surely is the Action Player , which can be found via the wizard in the editing mode. With his help predefined actions, which manually would demand many single steps, can be applied to a picture with a click of the mouse button. A drop of bitterness however is existing. The Photomerge -function also in this program-version experienced an expansion.

The opportunity of the scene clearing up is quite similar to the group picture but is merely specialized to scene motives than on groups of human. However also here one can remove or smear away unwanted elements from the picture.

Prerequisite for this are several pictures, which were taken from the same viewing angle. Added whole new is the filter making it dull , which lines itself up into the category of the soft drawing filters. Like also for the other filters, here the picture is drawn soft, too. However it is attempted to maintain the sharpness of borders and details. The filter is mainly intended to give portrait photos a silky respectively glamorous look.

Both work in principle in a similar way. Initially you can choose between different filter effects and then transfer these by help of the brush to the picture. So the filter won't be applied to the whole picture but only on the overpainted areas. While the Detail-Smart brush works like a "normal" brush, the Smart brush can choose bigger areas by itself similar to the quick selection.

In total one can access 50 different filters for both smart brushes. The wizard for picture processing newly introduced in version 6 has gotten an additional expansion. In the category photographic effects one can choose between the new methods old-fashioned photo , saturated slide film or line drawing.

Old-fashioned photo transforms the picture into a black and white picture, for which one can choose between three different versions. Furthermore one can add the color toning. The mode saturated slide film is in principle a correction of contrast and saturation. The line drawing transforms a photo in a kind of cartoon picture. The colors will be nearly completely removed. Outlines will be displayed like a pencil drawing. For quick corrections the editing-tab quick now has a further sub menu.

The area Touch Up allows the user to remove red eyes, bleach teeth, color the dark sky blue or improve the contrast of a black and white picture by a few mouse clicks. Also here the new tool works with a Smart brush , which automatically creates an appropriate selection.

The organizer has gotten a comparable lower supplement. So here now by the help of a text field pictures can be searched according to single catchwords. Prerequisite for this is of course, that the pictures in the organizer are already provided with corresponding key words. One can nearly quarrel about, if this function is a new feature or more the disposal of a failure of the software. Finally every PC, every database and every Album lives on search functions of various ways, to find contents easily and quick.

Such a supplement can be sold good as new feature, but for the user it is merely an understanding, which of course was missed in the predecessor versions. In the opposite to the previous versions in this update only few obvious new things were added. A major part of these changes are improvements of existing functions. The highlights at the same time are the little changes like the possibility to adjust the brush size by using the mouse as well as the New-assemble-tool.

Because of the minority of changes one could version 8 nearly call a kind of bug-fix-version of the predecessor version 7. The expansions of the program surface are inconspicuous on the first sight but however quite useful. Outstanding here is the possibility to alter the size of nearly all tool peaks directly with the mouse.

Hold the ALT-key as well as the right mouse button pressed at the same time and after that move the mouse to the left or right, to enlarge or shrink the brush peak. Also new is, that picture windows now can be moved beyond the program border, this is something from which owners of two monitors will benefit.

Beyond that already opened picture windows can be set to the same zoom level or position with one click. Minimalistic but practically is also the change of the preferences levels. Different than until now the corrections applied with it aren't created in a separate window, which has to be explicitly opened and closed.

Instead you can alter the preferences at every time in an extra tab beneath the layer stack. A complete new function brings the New-assemble-tool , which shares a place in the tool bar with the extraction tool.

By the help of this new tool it is possible to clinch a picture for example a building in the background , but in the matter of size to take out single parts of the picture for example human in the foreground. Regularly the tool recognizes the main motive by itself and takes this one out of the clinching, so that only the uninteresting picture areas are shrunk. In all other cases two special brushes are available for ones use, with whom one can explicitly take out or add picture areas fo the clinching.

The New-assemble-tool can also be called via the wizard tab including a leaded description. Also new is the Photo merge -function exposure. This one tries to make a new, atmospheric and best possible exposure photo out of two or more different exposure photos - for example one with and another without flash. Like for all Photo merge -functions also here it isn't necessary, that the pictures are taken with a tripod. Tags or key words for pictures are nothing new in the organizer.

But new is that the key words used in the albums can be assembled to key words in a so called Tag-Cloud. Thereby the words that are most frequently present are highlighted.

In that way one can quickly search for frequent or special terms. The key word function is supplemented by an automatic recognition. This one can be applied to pictures in the organizer and it tries by itself to assign different features to the picture.

To this belongs the quality of the pictures or the face recognition. This additionally tries to recognize faces, which belong to the same person, and to assign corresponding key words to them. In September the version was officially released.

This version offers even fewer real innovations than the previous one. At the first place one meets expansions or improvements of existing functions. New and outstanding from the changes are alone the layer masks. If one not yet passionately adores layer masks, he can as well keep on working with version 8 and abandon the new version 9. Of course they aren't really new: Different functions of Elements have used layer masks already for a long time, but it wasn't possible to the user until then respectively only on detours to create own masks.

With version 9 now finally also this function is available: By clicking the icon in the layer stack besides the preferences layers one creates quickly and uncomplicated a new Mask.

Like in the last versions Photo merge also this time has gotten a new function. With the Style-accordance color styles shall be transferred from one picture to another. For alignment furthermore three sliders are available to the user to control the effect.

By its help several overlapped taken pictures can be automatically merged to a Panorama. Amendments here are just necessary at the borders, because here are sometimes empty areas are generated due to the "back bowing" of each picture. Until then one had to cut out these with the extraction. The improved Panorama-function in version 9 recognizes such free areas by itself and intelligently tries to fill them up with picture material - if demanded.

With the option "content sensitive" the tool takes samples of the surrounding of the areas to be repaired by itself. These then will be used to fill the areas to be replaced quite suitable - also for complicated backgrounds. A completely new area is offered by the Processing wizard. Fife new program lead effects can be found here. The Lomo-Effect transforms a picture in a way, as if it was taken with a camera of the same name.

By help of the Out-of-Bounds effect a frame can be created and parts of the picture can be defined, which seem to shine out of the frame. The Perfect Portrait mainly uses existing functions like red eye removal, tooth bleaching or soft drawing filter, to improve portrait photos.

The function Pop-Art creates a typical Andy Warhol like picture with a few steps. The last effect mirroring fulfills exactly what the name promises. In the creation -Tab one now can create with a few clicks calendars, greeting cards or picture books from own photos. Therefore one can access different templates, which automatically establish someone's own pictures. The herewith created picture collections after that one can print out or transfer them via Internet to a printing company, which then commits them to paper.

The Organizer also was expanded in this version. So it now can manage also videos from the sister program Premiere Elements. For all users of Social-Networks like Facebook a function was added, with whom pictures out of the Organizer can be transferred to the own Facebook profile via a click. Somewhat hidden is the expansion in the editing mode quick of the editor: Every one of the options has a little arrow at the right border, behind are - if it is flipped open - nine preview thumbnails hidden.

Every one of these preview thumbnails contains a default option, how the corresponding correction can be applied. If one moves over these thumbnails with the mouse, the future changes on the photo are visible. A click with the left mouse button, applies these directly on the picture. Additionally one can also alter the default option with pressed mouse button, by moving the mouse to the left or right.

Again less is done in the matter of real innovations of the tenth version. At least worth to highlight are changes of the Text tool as well as a number of new effects for the Smart brush-tool. Here two different rules are at choice for picture creation like the "Golden cut" and the "thirds-rule", as well as a same named raster. These can serve the user as visual orientation to determine which parts of the picture shall be cut off. The picture besides shows the application at the cutting off of a picture in portrait format.

The Smart brush added in Elements version 7, with whom numerous effects can be draws into the picture easily, has got a whole bunch of new possibilities. In total 30 new effects were dedicated to this tool. Three new effects are available also for the lead processing of pictures. In the wizard -Tab one now can additionally create a Orton-effect , a picture stack as well as a depth of field. The blend effect depth of field creates a simple depth un sharpness in the picture.

Thereby one can choose between the modes simple and user defined. The mode "simple" creates a radial soft drawing, in whom middle lays the focus and it will be drawn sharp. But if one wants to put specific Objects or picture layers in the foreground, one can mark these with the mode "user defined". The Orton-effect , named after the photographer Michael Orton, creates a softer, smoother picture.

Also here the work is done by a soft drawing and additionally the brightness is aligned. The picture stack can create a Collage of single pictures from a photo. One can choose between four, eight or twelve single pictures, from which the final picture shall be put together. Again and again it was desired by many users and one had to wait long for it: An improvement of the text tool to align letterings at different shapes.

By help of the Text-to-selection-tool initially a selection is created, on its border one can after that let text float around. For this the tool by default provides the quick selection tool. But one can also create a selection with all other methods and after that align the text to it. Quite similar works the Text-at-shape-tool. Here at first one can choose from seven simple forms like rectangle, ellipse or a butterfly and also here align the text at the outlines. As third opportunity the text tool Text-at-own-path is available.

After that one can edit the path once again by help of different node points. Also for other tools the text is guided alongside of the path. Like before also the Organizer is expanded again. The new intelligent search function helps the user to search for similar motives or colors.

To achieve this one or more reference pictures are stated and the Organizer searches automatically for the appropriate correspondence. By help of a slide control one can define, if it has to be searched merely for colors or shapes.

Furthermore one can choose single picture extractions and search only for special elements which are contained in that. The search criteria defined by the user furthermore can be stored in a Smart-Album , so that one doesn't have to generate them anew next time. A simple click on the album is enough to get the results on screen again.

ALso in this year the software has been complemented only by a couple of smaller improvements and gimmicks. So it does not surprise, that many functions have not changed since the version 6. Beforehand one can say fortunately that the complete presentation toolbars, background etc. Now you can produce comics and illustrations from your photos per mouse click.

For photos, which shall be converted in colours, the filter "comic" is suitable. There are four automatic functions which can be applied: Comic, grey steps, sunny day and old print. Additionally you can apply your own settings with 5 scroll bars. There are four auto functions available, too: painted grey, fine details, hard edges and distorted plot.

With the help of the 4 scroll bars the blackness, appearance, contrast and force can be influenced. Images, which apear as manually drawn, can be produced with the filter "pen and ink". By using lots of adjustable parameters one obtains an individual artwork. The fewest users ever plan to produce a comic out of their holiday photos. Maybe one tests it once and says "nice gag". However, such a function is not a buying criterion. In view of huge hard drives and memory one hardly recognizes that such features need a lot of memory.

There are extra large symbols, different modes fast, assistant, expert and a tool bar with actions, which facilitate editing and organizing photos. In the fast-mode useful fuctions can be applied with the help of scroll bars and miniature previews. To each of these fuctions there is also an automatic buttom. The toolbar itself is reduced to the fuctions magic wand, red eyes correction, teeth bleaching, text tools, reparation pen and cutting tool in the fast mode.

In the expert mode all 24 tools are available. The organizer function, which is already known from the predecessor versions, has been amleriorated in that way, that one can let it show all photos and videos from a certain person, a particular place or a sprcific event.

So one certainly does not loose the overview about one's photo archive. That is not a big change; one can almost say it is a bug fix, since a user normally expects such a function from an organizer. In the editor with an assistant there are new options, which one lead step by step through the creation of new effects. Miniature views can be simulated in order to foresee the result in a better way. Effects like an individual vignetting or high key or low key exposures can be created.

Last ones are usefull in order to make pictures appear dynamically or dramatically. Even filigree image parts like hair can be separated very easily. With original image composition and collages you can impress very much. Thanks to the recording place tags you can easily reconstruct on a map, where the photos and videos have been made. The text birthday comes shortly and you still need invitation cards? Thanks to the new masters you can create very quickly and comfortably invitation cards, thanksgiving cards, photo books or calendars.

You can choose from a great variety of fomrs, graphic arts, frames and texts. From wooden frames over pearl frames up to flower frames everything can be found. Also very plain frames can be used. With the graphic arts and the forms you can create funny scenes again and again. The creation of invitation cards etc.

What up to no has been done painfully with copy and paste, cut etc. And an invitation card for a birthday event is needed by everyone again or again, right? You can import actions for the automatization of standard jobs, for example, from photo platforms oder blogs. An example, how to import an action and use it for one's image editing purposes can be found in our tutorial Exchange image background - extracting with colour channels.

You can share your videos with friends or the whole world with a few mouse clicks. As usual there are a couple of innovations; the main part, however, is equal to the predecessor version.

Noticeable is mainly the mobile connection to smart phones and tablets and a couple of new tools. So the software will run a bit more fluently. The graphical user interface equals to that of the predecessor and is easy to use. As already known there are three possibilities to edit images. Whether you choose the mode "fast", "assistant" or "expert" is up to you. Filters and effects have been arranged newly. Often used colour filters, for example, are now arranged better, so that they can be found with only one click.

Nowadays more and more often smart phones and tablets are beeing used to make photos instead of cameras. Similar like Fotostream from Apple on the PC all images, which have to be transferred to mobile devices, must be shifted into one folder.

Pictures will be synchronized directly and are immediately available on each device. Backwards images from the smartphone can be shifed into the mobile library with the free app and are so visible on the desktop. Furthermore on the mobile phone a couple of simple effects can be applied, similar to Instagram. Within the known red eyes correction tool there can be activated a checkbox so that to tool knows that the eye of an animal has to be corrected.

So the over exposed eyes of a domestic animal should be recognizable by one click. In practice one becomes rather disappointed. The eyes look unnatural and the tool does not really recognize if it is an eye or not. For example, when clicking at the snout of a cat there will be an eye after applying the tool. Furthermore the tool does not recognize the eye colour of an animal. After processing the eyes are always grey.

The most spectacular innovation is the content sensitive shifting. With this tool it is possible to select singular image elements and shift them within the picture. The program takes pixels which lie near the selected part. How good that works depends on the motive and the background. In practice you will realize that the function works well for simple motives, which lie on a unicoloured background.

As soon as there are other objects in the background, they will be deformed and the image will be destroyed. For beginners of the digital image editing this tool is usefull nevertheless. With the "zoom burst" effect static images become dynamically. You can give your images a kind of movement with this function.

However, this effect is nothing more than a radial diffuser, with which you also can set the strength of the effect, which is not possible within the new "zoom burst" effect. Anyway, it is an interesting news for beginners. Aligning skew photos in the expert mode now is even more simple. You just draw a line to which the image will be aligned. If this works successfully depends on the motive. With the effect "photo pusszle" you can make a puzzle out of an arbitrary photo.

However, it is only an optical game. After switching in the assistant mode you can first choose the size of the puzzle parts. Then it is even possibile to take out a single part from the puzzle and transform it arbitrarily. It might be a nice idea for the next photo card for relatives and friends. Now you only should have a printer which does not print the complete puzzle, but produces the singule pieces of the puzzle piece by piece Another innovation is the intelligent hue processing.

It remembers your colour preferences. When using that effect there will be a controller in the middle of the image, which can be moved in any edge of the screen.

So it is possible to brighten or shade the image or give it more contrast. As was the case with past upgrades, the new software offers mainly detail modifications compared to the preceding version.

There are no fundamental changes to be found - which is a good thing; users switiching from version 11 or 12 won't have to adjust themselves. Instead, version 13 is just as overseable and visceral as the last ones. Few user will notice all technical changes. Besides some new functions, it's mainly the functionality in the background that has been changed: the newest camera - and pc-hardware is now fully supported. Users working with high-resolution screens of the newest generation for Windows HiDPI-monitors and Mac Retina-Displays will be delighted to hear that problems with tiny buttons and scaling issues are now a thing of the past because version 13 can finally deal with the high pixel density and high resolution of the new generation monitors.

Furthermore, the manufacturer provides regular updates, by this time reaching version 8. On the downside, version 13 has degraded in some aspects By clicking the wheel in the upper right corner of the display, the user can predefine this choice for future starts of the program. Upon starting the program for the first time, new functions of the software are presented to the user in two columns - overview and innovations, thus giving a first impression of what's new.

The following report deals with these innovations. This function is compatible back to Version 6. Users looking for a software to process and optimize digital photos or scans, will quickly notice that, based on the new features described hereinafter, an update to version 13 is unnecessary as all such tasks can be easily accomplished using an older version of the software, such as Elements 8 or 9.

Upon choosing the cropping-tool in the quick-mode, the program will automatically provide four different proposals for cropping the image. This actually worked well in our test, given that the respective image structure. Large, areal, colorwise coherent elements are usually being recognized as such by the software.

Naturally, the feature won't work as well in the case of pictures that are lacking such concise elements. Supposedly, even the individual users' preferences are being gradually adapted and implemented. In practice, this learning component was lacking. What's more, the function cannot replace human skills. Inssuficient know-how cannot completely compensated by a program. Editing and enhancing of of selections is now possible even after the selection has been completed.

Here, you can check it out in the process of a photomontage. To the right side of the image, every step of the process is explained. If both pictures are open, first, one of them is dragged onto the canvas. Next, using a selection tool such as the magic wand, the desired part is marked.

After, the selection can be cahnged using the "outline" tool. When doing so, the display changes to a masking view. The third tool we're going to use in this example is called "refine edge" and is part of an innovation introduced in version within the tool, the user may choose between "add", "substract" and "push", "smoothen".

By "push", the edge can be pushed outwards or inwards, and the edge is seemingly elastic. The function "smoothen" is useful in case the selection has been made manually using the mouse.

The resulting uneven edge can now be smoothed out using the "smoothen" brush. The selection can be further specified through the button "refine edge advanced ". Upon clicking this button, a menu called "refine edge" will open, in which the edge can be influenced by brush strokes and etching.

Besides, there are various other options available. With some practice and skill, it's a waltz to adjust the controls precisesly for any kind of object. Meanwhile, the different viewing modes are very helpful in the process.
