Adobe has also launched new companion mobile and web apps for viewing, creating, and sharing slideshows, which are currently only available in beta versions in English.

Both apps come with improved editing features, new video effects, over a hundred audio tracks to use in slideshows, and over 87 step-by-step editing instructions.

Follow the links below to the Adobe website for more information about what’s new in these apps.

If you are an Instagram or TikTok creator, you should try both apps.

New features based on artificial intelligence

There are also new features powered by Sensei, Adobe’s artificial intelligence system in the cloud, that let you do things like add moving elements to static photos like moving clouds, waterfalls, and more. Now you can quickly export your work to popular social media formats, including animated GIFs and MP4 videos.

With artistic effects inspired by popular art styles, you can convert entire video clips with just one click. And with new collages and slideshow templates at your disposal, you can easily create eye-catching slideshows.

Other improvements include pass-through overlays (to create the illusion of depth), new audio tracks in Premiere Elements, and more.

The companion web apps we mentioned earlier are also quite functional. For example, you can create photo collages and multimedia slideshows right in your browser. The web apps also let you upload your work to the Adobe cloud so you can easily access your images and videos on your computer, mobile phone, and the web.

Apple silicon optimization

Finally, Adobe announces significant performance improvements for Apple silicon Macs with full support for M1 and M2-optimized Mac systems. Adobe claims that Premiere and Photoshop Elements will install 35 percent faster on Apple Silicon Mac computers and run 70 percent faster.

Prices and Availability

Photoshop Elements 2023 and Premiere Elements 2023 are now available from the Adobe website and various online retailers for $99.99 each. You can also buy two apps in a bundle for $149.99.

You’ll need an Intel processor (6th generation Intel chip or later) or an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS Big Sur or later, at least eight gigabytes of RAM, and ten gigabytes of available disk space to install and run these applications.
