The Moving Photos tool takes 2D static images and gives them an animated 3D look

Photoshop Elements has always been considered a cutdown version of the full version of Adobe Photoshop. For many years, this was a fair description (especially when Elements lacked key tools such as layer masks.) However, with the release of Elements 2021, the app is less of a cut-down version – it’s more of a streamlined one.

The various Guided Edit modes give you easy access to the key tools required to help fix particular picture problems. Thanks to features such as Adobe Sensei AI it also enables you to give your shots a creative makeover without having years of experience with the full version of Photoshop. Elements also boasts unique tools of its own, such as the impressive new Moving Photos effect (which we’ll look at in due course).
