Adobe has announced the 15th version of Photoshop Elements 15 and Premiere Elements 15 designed to make photo and video even easier for everyone.
For starters, the Elements Organizer 15 – a shared image and video catalog interface like Apple Photos and Adobe Lightroom – has improved search functions that make it easy to look for the exact photo or video by typing in the name of things, places, events and subjects beyond people. What's more, Adobe is making searchable media even simpler with smart tags automatically assigned to recognizable objects, pets, events and even landmarks.
With these two features put together, users will be able search for photos of themselves with family or by themselves, past birthdays, the cat or even tell the program to exclude certain people.
Additionally, Adobe has added touch control to the Elements Organizer and enhanced the Instant Fix tool, making it possible to quickly edit an entire batch of photos in one go. Of course, users will still be able to take more finely tweak their images and video by launching into Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements.

The program guides you through the process by first allowing you to pick a frame template and then filling the panels with any photo or video you please. From there users can choose whether all the frame play together or one after the other.
Lastly, Layer Adjustment Guided Edit enables users to apply effects to your clips or across the entire video clip.
