Adobe’s beginner-friendly budget photo and video editors are gaining some new capabilities. On Wednesday, October 01, Adobe launched Photoshop Elements 2026 and Premiere Elements 2026, bringing new generative AI tools, 360 video support, and more streamlined organizing tools to the beginner-friendly photo and video editors.
Elements is Adobe’s longstanding beginner-friendly photo and video software that serves as a desktop alternative to learning the full-featured Photoshop and Premiere Pro. However, Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements now face more competition – from Adobe themselves – as both Photoshop and Premiere now have a free smartphone app that scales down the advanced software for a mobile-friendly tool.
