Quickly fix a photo

You don’t have to spend hours editing an image in Photoshop Elements 2019 to get fantastic results, there are great time-saving tools built into the app. Ian Evenden explains.

While Photoshop Elements is an extremely powerful image-editing app that can be used to create complex layered compositions, you can also use it to touch up your selfies.

There’s more to the program than Expert mode, and by dropping down the Enhance menu, no matter which of the three modes you’re in, you’ll find a host of useful features that can transform an image. Dig a little deeper, though, and you’ll find those fully-automated tools have close cousins that allow you more control over the results, so you end up with a natural-looking photo rather than an over-saturated, purple, excessively sharpened mess.

We’re using the 2019 edition of the software here, but you can follow the steps in any recent version. Download a free trial from http:// bit.ly/PSE19trial.
