Adobe’s one-time-purchase applications, Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements, have received significant updates for 2025, released on October 1, 2024. Continuing the trend established in the 2024 updates, these programs now incorporate additional AI tools powered by Adobe Firefly, alongside a simplified interface and web accessibility.

What’s New in Adobe Photoshop Elements 2025:

Adobe Photoshop Elements 2025 expands upon existing AI capabilities, introducing several useful tools. Notably, the new Remove Object Brush and Removal Tool allow users to effortlessly eliminate unwanted background elements, functioning similarly to the Generative Fill feature found in Photoshop and Adobe Express.

The updated Depth Blur tool enables users to modify the depth of field in an image by selecting the desired focal point, a process traditionally achieved in-camera or through manual adjustments. This filter ensures that the focal point remains sharp and visually engaging.

Among the new Smart Brushes features is the object recoloring brush, which allows for quick selection of areas in an image to apply a realistic pre-set color overlay.

The 2025 update also enhances motion capabilities within images through new Quick Actions tools, which include:

• Sparkles overlay
• Blinking heart graphic
• Pink frame
• Zoom in-out effect

Additionally, the new Combine Photos feature facilitates creating collages or image manipulations, providing aspect ratios tailored for popular social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. The updated Guided section in Photoshop Elements 2025 offers nearly 60 guided tutorials, ensuring users can easily navigate the tool’s functionalities.

What’s New in Adobe Premiere Elements 2025:

For video editing, Adobe Premiere Elements introduces several new features for 2025. The updated timeline offers a simplified interface, enhancing usability for both experienced editors and novices. Frequently used features are now more prominently displayed, and users can lock layers to prevent accidental edits.

This update includes motion text editing, allowing users to animate dynamic text within their videos. Numerous design options enable users to customize text color, alignment, spacing, size, and direction. Users will also have free access to Adobe Stock’s title template libraries to enhance their title animations.

New color tools in Premiere Elements include a White Balance feature for achieving bright, crisp whites and a Color Correction tool for precise color adjustments. Updates to LUT colors provide users with presets or the option to import their own.

Access Adobe Elements on the Web:

With this latest update, both tools are accessible through new web versions and mobile apps, currently in Beta. Given the positive reception of Photoshop on the Web and Adobe Express’s browser and app functionalities, we anticipate these tools will continue to improve for online and on-the-go editing.

For those hesitant about committing to Adobe’s one-time-purchase software, a 7-day free trial is available. Pricing for Adobe Premiere Elements and Adobe Photoshop Elements starts at $99, with upgrades from previous versions available for $79. A bundle including both applications is priced at $149, with upgrades available for $120. Each purchase includes a three-year license.
