<p>What is Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?Photoshop Elements 12 is Adobe's latest incarnation of its consumer-grade photo editing software. This new version doesn't bring any huge changes, but it does include a selection of enhancements and new features both for existing users and newcomers alike. But will these be enough to lead the old hands to upgrade, or convince the rest that this is the time to try Photoshop Elements?</p><p>Adobe Photoshop Elements 12: What's New?A newcomber in the toolbox is Content Aware Move, which has been part of the main Photoshop for a while. This lets you select an element in the picture and then simply move it to a new location. The software will analyse the surroundings and fill in the hole as best it can. The tool is only available in Expert mode, and there are a few options to configure how the selection functions, including whether it adds, subtracts or intersects. You can also use the tool to extend instead of moving, which essentially copies the selection.</p><p>The tool is intended for activities like moving people around family portraits, but can be used for other creative activities. It also attempts to blend the moved selection to fit the background it now has. However, we had mixed results with the Content Aware Move tool, depending considerably on how well we had executed the selection, and the complexity of the background. Generally, we found a bit of extra retouching was necessary to get a really good effect, although the tool does speed up the process considerably.</p><p>Another new tool is aimed at animals lovers. This is an enhancement of the Red Eye reduction facility that has existed for many versions to include pets. The difference here is that the tool can now cope with the different colouration of animal eyes, and the various flash reflections this causes. A checkbox in the Red Eye tool enables the mode. We found it effective with the sample pet images we tried.</p><p><a href="http://www.trustedreviews.com/adobe-photoshop-elements-12_Software_review">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.4-traders.com/news/Adobe-Photoshop-Elements-for-Photographers-iPad-App-from-Focal-Press-Utilizes-Cutting-Edge-Tutoria--17592185/">"Adobe Photoshop Elements for Photographers" iPad App from Focal Press ...</a> (4-traders (press release))</p><p><a href="http://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwgeeks/article/Adobe-Photoshop-Elements-for-Photographers-iPad-App-from-Focal-Press-Utilizes-Cutting-Edge-Tutorial-Technology-20131210">"Adobe Photoshop Elements for Photographers" iPad App from Focal Press ...</a> (Broadway World)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=di182r8JeyKW3iM3yxKVReK4vRghM&ned=us">5 additional articles.</a></p>
