Photoshop Elements 11 Editor Hits Mac App Store Tweet This   Forward This

13 March 2013

Adobe has made its $79.99 Photoshop Elements 11 Editor available on the Mac App Store. The Editor does not include Elements Organizer from the $99.99 full version but, the company says, "serves as the perfect complement to iPhoto's organizing tools."

Also not included is Premiere Elements, which can be had for $149 bundled with Photoshop Elements and the Elements Organizer.

In our review of Elements 11, we concluded:

With Apple's iPhoto and ACDSee Pro, there's always been a lot of competition in this arena. And with newer cloud-based apps full of presets and quick editing magic, the game is only heating up. But Elements remains the one tool with the hottest image engine harnessed to both simple and advanced tools plus tutorials that explain how to do things. Nobody does it better.

Our reference to Elements rather than just the Photoshop or Premiere variants reflects our advice to go for the bundle if you shoot any video. The bundle makes a knockout one-two punch.

Update: The move to the App Store comes as authorized Adobe resellers report the company plans to discontinue box versions of the Creative Suite on May 1.

The Photoshop Elements 11 Editor serves as the perfect complement to iPhoto's organizing tools, as well as a step up for users looking to go beyond basic edits. New editing and sharing tools added include:
