When you first open Elements 14, you'll see the familiar options bar across the top but below this is a grey bar that features the words: 'eLive', 'Quick', 'Guided' and 'Expert'. eLive features useful guides and tutorials, Quick opens up a workspace where you can quickly perform the most common editing tasks, Guided provides step-by-step instructions to help you make a range of edits and finally, the Expert view lets you edit and enhance your photos using the complete set of tools available in Photoshop Elements 14.

For those new to the software, you can access the online help / learning centre where video and text tutorials can be viewed. There's also a 'getting started' guide available online, too.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 14 Ease Of Use
Photoshop Elements offers several levels of editing, from quick and basic photo fixes and easy-to-use editing workflows to advanced colour correction and composition in the Editor workspace. No matter what workspace you are in, you'll have access to the photo bin where thumbs of images you're working on are stored and you can also access the improved photo organiser from here.

Organiser: The Organiser is a very simplified version of Lightroom's Libary and it's where you can view, add and organise images you want to work on in Elements. For those new to image management, you'll soon find your way around the interface as it's really easy to navigate, plus it's not something you must use, it's simply there as an option. The Organiser has actually got a little quicker to use and you can use it to find photos by a person's name, where an image was taken or even by where ou were when the photo was taken. We added several images from our photo library and the Organiser responded really quickly, plus it recognised and grouped portraits together with ease. You can also view photos on a map, too which is a nice feature.
Adobe Photoshop Elements 14 Performance
The software opens up fairly quickly and saves images / shuts down quickly, too. Switching between work areas is also rather speedy as all you have to do is double-click the name of the work area you want to move into. Applying edits, even auto ones, isn't a slow process and when working in the Guided work area you can actually see changes applied in real time which are useful.

There are plenty of useful tools on offer some of which you'll be familiar with if you've used Elements previously, but there are also some new features found in Elements 14, of which we've tested the performance of below along with the tools / features that have seen enhancements since the previous release.



Quick Edits

If you're wanting to make adjustments with the software's help then this area will be perfect for you. To the left in the toolbar you'll find basic editing tools such as selection, red-eye removal and spot healing tools while on the right are one-click adjustments which can be applied by clicking on a thumb that shows a preview of the image with the edit applied. For example, under Exposure are a series of 6 rectangles all of which have different exposure settings applied. You can also see how the edit will change the look of your image without having to apply it by hovering your mouse cursor over the edit option which is a rather nice and useful feature to have. There's also a slider available to increase / decrease the effect of the adjustment you're applying should you wish to use this instead."
