Haze & Camera Shake Removal Added To Adobe Photoshop Elements 14

Haze Removal tool in action. 

It's that time of year again when Adobe updates its consumer-based photo editing software and Photoshop Elements 14 has quite a few interesting new features as well as updates that improve preexisting ones. 

New to version 14 is the ability to remove camera shake with a click and a Haze Removal tool which as the name suggests, removes haze / mist from backgrounds. This can be done with one click or users can opt to use sliders which give them more control.

34 guided edits have been added which make it easy to add motion blur and resize images to fit a particular frame. Tricky selections, such as around hair or pet fur, are also easier to make as Elements does most of the work for you after you make a basic selection.

As for improvements on features found in previous versions, the Quick Edit mode is easier to use and also performs quicker while users can find photos based on the people in them, what you were doing or where they were taken in the Elements Organizer much faster.

Pricing and Availability

Adobe Photoshop Elements 14 (Mac and Windows) is immediately available and unlike Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, you don't need a subscription to the Creative Cloud to use it. Those who are upgrading can purchase the latest version for £64.81 while those new to the software will be able to purchase a copy for £98.16.

Those looking for standalone photo editing software should also consider what Serif and Corel have to offer as both companies have recently released new software. Corel PaintShop Pro X8 is for Windows only while Serif Affinity Photo is specifically designed for Mac users.
