Make It Better

If you have ever been to the eye doctor you already know how to use Make It Better.
Simply compare color, contrast and brightness adjustments side-by-side and pick the best
looking images to adjust your image. This module combines the power several Photoshop
Elements image adjustment dialogs into a single interface. This allows new users to make
complex image adjustments without the need to understand the complex image controls of
Photoshop Elements. Rather than cryptic sliders like thresholds and radius the user simply
answers a series of visual questions to pick the best settings. Advanced users still have
access to fine-tune controls for color cast removal, brightness, contrast, dynamic range
and saturation. You can even create presets that you can use over and over again




Cut It Out

Essentials for Photoshop Elements features the Cut it Out tool for cutting a subject out of a
background. How often have you wanted to take a person out of one picture and put them
in to another but have been stopped difficult areas like hair or glasses in your subject. The
Cut it Out tool makes it easy to paint away an unwanted background leaving your subject to
be placed onto a new background. It maintains all of the small details such as hair, smoke,
glass and netting. With its unique color decontamination technology the Cut it Out tool can
even paint away unwanted colors through semi-transparent subjects so they blend naturally
with a new background. And unlike the Extract tool in Photoshop Elements you can see
your results in real-time and fix your progress at anytime with any of the tools available in the
Cut it Out tool.




Frame It

The Frame It tool really puts you into the digital darkroom. Now it is easy to add realistic
film and darkroom edge and border effects to your images. But why stop at the darkroom,
you can add artistic edges like torn paper, brush strokes or even realistic frames and mats
you would hang on the walls. You can even stack multiple edges and frames to create your
own unique look. It comes packed with over 500 edges and frames too choose from. Use
the built-in browser to browse or search for your favorites. The creative possibilities are
limitless with the Frame It tool.

Enlarge It

Finally, Essentials for Photoshop Elements includes the Enlarge It tool which can increase
image size without the loss of sharpness and detail that you would normally expect. It can
resize your images up to 4x and still maintain sharp edges and minute details. That's like
taking a 4x6 print and making it as big as a poster. It is a must for any photo enthusiast who
makes big prints or needs to crop a section out of an image to get just the right composition.
the Enlarge It tool is also great for printing images from camera phones and even digital
video camera still frames.
