My local photography club wanted to get back to having a monthly workshop on post processing which I have agreed to run for the next year. I pretty much use Lightroom, Bridge and Photoshop 95% of the time with a few plugins like Topaz Photo AI and Luminar Neo for the other 5%. But quite a few of our club members are squarely in the beginner/amateur phase and own various versions of Elements. I've been asked for help in the past and struggled to figure out what Elements allows. Not that it's complicated but things are labeled differently and also have simpler tools. I saw that here in the States, Adobe has Elements on sale for $69, down from $99 so I figured, what the heck and bought it.
I'm actually impressed. I had Photoshop Elements, version1 back in the early days. I think I got it packaged with an Epson scanner I bought. Over the years with computer upgrades I quit adding it and just moved to the Adobe subscription model. So, I have been playing around with it, the program is, of course easier in a lot of ways than Photoshop and actually has some of the new AI features.
I'm planning to run our monthly workshops for 1 1/2 to 2 hours and try to touch on some of the stuff in Lightroom and Photoshop but also offer a half hour on Elements.
