Adobe reveals AI-powered Photoshop & Premiere Elements 2025
Adobe has unveiled the 2025 editions of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements, integrating new AI advancements aimed at simplifying the process of creating and editing photographs and videos.
The latest iterations bring several new features to both software, enhancing the user experience with more intuitive tools and streamlined functionality.
Photoshop Elements 2025 introduces various improvements designed to facilitate photo editing. The new AI-powered Remove tool and Object Removal Guided Edit make it possible to remove objects from images in moments. Additionally, an updated Depth Blur filter can now automatically add and fine-tune blur effects, such as adjusting blur strength, focal distance, and focal range.
Colour adjustment also becomes more accessible. Users can employ automatic selection tools to change the colour of specific objects within an image, giving them the ability to refine these changes to suit their preferences. The new Combine Photos Guided Edit allows them to blend subjects, backgrounds, and elements from different pictures seamlessly to create unique compositions.
Further enhancements include four new Quick Actions, which are designed to add motion effects with a single click. These include creating camera motion, adding animated sparkles, a blinking heart, or an animated frame. The software also introduces new textured photo backgrounds and graphics to embellish various creations. Presently, Photoshop Elements features 59 step-by-step Guided Edits, helping users to build their skills gradually.
On the other hand, Premiere Elements 2025 is geared towards video editing and comes with several notable upgrades. New dynamic title templates and text controls allow users to style their text with enhanced alignment, size, direction, colour, spacing, and more. A newly introduced White Balance tool ensures accurate colour representation, ensuring that elements like clouds and snow appear as expected.
Users are also provided with tools to precisely adjust colour and brightness across an entire scene or in specific areas, supported by the addition of new colour correction curves. Additionally, LUTs (Look-Up Tables) are available to help transform colour schemes automatically, while users can also import and apply their own LUTs for customised aesthetics.
To streamline the editing process, Premiere Elements 2025 features a simplified Timeline. Here, video and audio tracks are grouped for easier navigation, and a new Quick Tools menu provides easy access to frequently used editing options. The feature allowing individual tracks to be locked minimises the chance of accidental adjustments.
Another integration of note is with Adobe Stock, offering free, professionally designed title templates within Premiere Elements. Guided Edits have also been redesigned to allow users to follow along more easily as they make quick fixes or add creative effects, smooth transitions, and eye-catching animations.
Both applications now offer full support for Apple's latest M3 chip, promising enhanced performance on Mac computers. Adobe has also introduced web and mobile companion apps in beta. These apps aim to extend the creative capabilities of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements beyond the desktop, allowing users to edit and view their media from various devices and locations.
In the mobile companion app, users can execute one-click adjustments, such as cropping, straightening, and background removal. Additionally, fun pattern overlays and sliders enable adjustments to light, colour, and effects while ensuring compatibility with a wide range of files and folders on their mobile devices.
The web companion app features tools to add overlays that frame the subject or create depth, change backgrounds, enhance with patterns, and more. It allows users to make collages and slideshows and access their edited content from any browser. Automatic syncing across the Elements Organiser and the companion apps ensures that users can enjoy their edited media anywhere.
