It can also help identify faces plus tag images with any kind of data – including EXIF data coming from your camera, and all delivered via smart tools. In the 2018 edition, Adobe has added an AI tool called Auto Curate which will examine the images in your library to point out possible flaws like composition, exposure and focus problems. The tool allows you to view, rename and manage your library.

Photoshop Elements also provides an excellent way to organize your images through the Organizer tool. At the end, I removed the extraneous colors that scanning a less than perfect photo introduces, adjusted the brightness and contrast, and finally sharpened the image. Tools like spot healing to remove lines, blur to smooth out imperfections and dust removal to get rid of spots, each tool making the image just that much better than it was. First I cropped the image to highlight my Dad and not necessarily the table. I selected each step that seemed appropriate to the picture I was working on. Once the path was chosen, a step-by-step guide came up on the right side of the screen. From the 10 or so guides that came up, I selected the scratch and dust removal guide. There are dozens of options, but since this is a black and white image, I limited the choices to that type of guide only.

The following photo is my Dad when he was 4 years old and growing up in New Jersey. Most were in pretty good shape, but some were scratched and dusty from years of storage. When my father passed away I helped to clean out storage at the house I grew up in, and along the way, I found a treasure trove of old photos from when my Dad was far younger than I ever was. In order to decide whether Photoshop Elements would help or hinder, I wanted to take a real-life example.
