Feature Differences between Elements and Premiere Elements

[Reg1987]

What are the feature differences between Photoshop Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements?

Do I need both programs since it appears that Photoshop Elements is embedded into Premiere Elements?

Thanks, Ron

Hi Ron,

Premier elements and Photoshop elments are two diffrent software.

Whereas you can purchase then as a bundle .

Premier elements is basicaly used for Vedio editiing and Photoshop Elements is used for Still Pic editing.

Hi Reg1987,

Premiere elements is a video editing software whereas photoshop elements

is an image editing software. Photoshop elements is a different software. Premiere

elements also consists of an Organizer which is part of premiere elements.

Thanks.

Reg,

Part of the problem is not understanding what the names of the two programs are:

Photoshop Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements?

As pointed out, the two separate programs are:

Adobe Photoshop Elements (Image editing program)

Adobe Premiere Elements (video editing program)

Either, or both, will come with the Elements Organizer, but if one has both programs, only one version of that will be installed.

Also, as mentioned above, there can be user confusion, when one buys the bundle with both programs (plus the Elements Organizer) inside.

Good luck, and if you need additinal clarification, do not hesitate to ask.

I have both Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements (which includes Photoshop Elements).  Thus do I need both or will just Premiere elements suffice to handle both Images and video?

I have used Elements for some time, but recently to support some videos I downloaded the bundled Premiere Elements and now it seems like I have two Photoshop Elements.  What  am I not understanding?

There is a very limited capability for Adobe Premiere Elements to edit Images, but that capability really only translates to the use of the Image in Video - which Adobe Premiere Elements edits well.

Adobe Photoshop Elements is a full-featured Image editor, and can output to say a printer, or to another program, such as Premiere Elements.

If you wish to do any Image editing, you will want Adobe Photoshop Elements. If you wish to do any video editing, you will want Adobe Premiere Elements.

Good luck,

If you already owned Adobe Photoshop Elements, and then bought the bundle, you DO have two copies of Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Are they the same version, say Adobe Photoshop Elements 12, or different versions?

Good luck,

It sounds like you HAD Photoshop Elements, and then you BOUGHT a Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements bundle

What version of Photoshop Elements did you HAVE, and what version did you recently BUY?

Premiere Elements is to edit video, Photoshop Elements is to edit pictures

You may include pictures in a video, but Premiere Elements has very limited picture editing capabilities... you would normally edit pictures in Photoshop Elements before adding the picture to a video timeline

I had Photoshop Elements 12 and then bought the Elements Premiere Bundle 12.

Is the date of purchase for Photoshop Elements 12 that you had initially within 30 days of today? And, did you purchase that from Adobe online. If so, you should be able to use the link below to start your contact with Adobe via Adobe Chat regarding a money back.

After you click on the link above, click on the statement "I still need help." to bring up the Adobe Chat so that you can work out the details related to orders/refunds/exchanges.

The important matter right now is that you act promptly in sorting this matter out so that you do not lose your rights in this regard.

If your purchase was other than what is suggested above, Adobe Chat should be able to advise you of the next step with regard to the vendor from whom you did purchase the software.

What exactly do you need in a program, photo editing, video editing, or both?

Thanks.
