Adobe Photoshop Elements

What is Adobe Photoshop Elements?

Adobe Photoshop Elements is a raster image editing product t argeted at hobbyists and consumers. It contains most of the features of the professional version but with fewer and simpler options. The program allows users to create, edit, organize and share images, all from the same product. Photoshop Elements targets photography enthusiasts and thus lacks many features that make it useful in a proper print production environment. It also either eliminates completely or offers simplified versions of some of the more powerful plug-ins, and instead has a number of features aimed at non-experts.

Overview

A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The main program executable is PhotoshopElements.exe. The software installer includes 26 files and is usually about 31.75 MB (33,292,940 bytes).
