Guided Edits

To the top

Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor 11 includes four new guided edits, to quickly enhance your images with special effects. You can apply effects that generally take many complex steps to obtain. Use the step-by-step instructions on the guided edits panel to get the exact effect you want to obtain. For more information, see the video on the new guided edits.

High key Pictures with high key lighting convey a positive vibe. Negate shadows and transform a portrait or family picture into a memorable moment, with the professional-looking high key effect (Elements Editor > Guided mode > High Key). For more information, see Add high key effect.

For a quick tutorial, watch this video on working with the high key guided edit.

Accentuate shadows and create dramatic play with dominant aspects of your photo, with the low-key effect (Elements Editor > Guided mode > Low Key). For more information, see Add low key effect. For a quick tutorial, watch this video on creating dynamic effects with the low key guided edit.

Picture before applying the low key effect (left), and after (right) Tilt-shift Photographs treated with the tilt-shift effect focus on specific portions of a picture. Keep certain areas of your picture sharp, while blurring the rest, using the tilt-shift effect (Elements Editor > Guided mode > Tilt-Shift). Obtain the miniature effect that would normally need a tiltshift lens, with just a few clicks of the mouse. For more information, see Add tilt-shift effect. For a quick tutorial, watch a video on the new tilt-shift guided edit.

Vignette Pictures that have vignetting tend to have a brighter central region, and a dark periphery. Enhance a portrait by darkening the peripheral areas, and automatically drawing attention to the center of the photo. Use the option to create a white vignette and explore the results that the vignette effect (Elements Editor > Guided mode > Vignette Effect) can produce. For more information, see Add vignette effect. For a quick tutorial, watch a video on applying a vignette effect.

Filters

To the top

Comic Filter Add an element of fun to your favorite portrait by making it look like a panel from a comic strip. Applying the new Comic filter (Filter > Sketch > Comic), converts your photo into seemingly hand-sketched artwork. A variety of controls enable you to attain granular control over the final result.

Original image (left), and image after applying the Comic filter (right) Pen and Ink filter Convert your photograph into a work of art, making it appear hand-sketched. Applying the Pen and Ink filter (Filter > Sketch > Pen and Ink) creates the effect of artistic sketching, with options to control pen and ink attributes.

Original image (left), and image after applying the Pen and Ink filter (right) Graphic Novel Filter Apply the new Graphic Novel filter (Filter > Editor > Graphic Novel) to your picture, to obtain a dark, yet distinct and vivid photo, unique to the world of graphic novels. Select from the presets, or customize the effect with the available controls.
