Elements+

As you, probably, know, Adobe Photoshop Elements has not inherited all of the essential features of the full Photoshop. Some functions have been removed, while the others just stay hidden. The "surface" Photoshop Elements functions are quite sufficient for a beginner. As you advance, though, you may miss one or another undocumented function. Here "Elements+" will be of service to you. The thing is that by no means all the absent functions are removed from Photoshop Elements in full, many of them are just hidden from the user. And "Elements+" is a handy add-on that lets the hidden functions out. There are E+ kits for all the PSE versions. However, the implementations for PSE 6.0 and above provide Far richer functionality, because they are powered by JavaScript, while the versions 1.0 through 5.0 are wholly based on Photoshop "actions" (macros). The opened functions appear in PSE immediately after the successful E+ installation. Except perhaps by the first run you will need to wait a second while the program reconstruct its Cache file. Basically, you access the revealed features from the PSE Effects palette. Fore more Details about destination and application of every feature, please see the Elements+ documentation. E+ comes to you with an automatic installer, so, you needn`t follow tricky instructions and copy dozens of files to different locations manually. To make sure that it works on your computer well, please download the demo version, which includes several hidden functions for color and tonal adjustments, selecting and masking. As mentioned above, the feature sets in different Elements+ editions may vary. If you are looking for a specific function, please check its availability for your PSE version in the table below. To see usage instructions, just click a feature name.
