Today, the Elements team is thrilled to announce the release of Photoshop Elements 2022 and Premiere Elements 2022. This year’s releases offer new Adobe Sensei AI-powered features to take your photos and videos to new creative heights.
Highlights of this year’s launch include:
- New automated features powered by Adobe Sensei AI technology that do the heavy lifting so you can easily turn photos into art with one click, warp photos to fit any shape, and automatically reframe your subject when you resize videos for social media.
- Four new Guided Edits for a total of 87 so you can easily grow your skills.
- All new photo and video slideshow styles so you can craft fun personalized creations.
Let’s dive into what’s new and enhanced for these releases.

Instantly turn photos into art
Adobe Sensei AI technology allows you to easily transform your photos into art in just one click. Choose from amazing artistic effects inspired by famous works of art and popular art styles that you can apply to all or part of your photo and easily adjust the results for exactly the look you want.

Create not-so-still photos
As we head into the holiday season, explore adding moving overlays like snowflakes, hearts and sparkles to your images and play around with fun animated frames. Then save your designs as MP4s to easily share on social or use in your holiday cards.
Warp photos to fit any shape
The possibilities are endless with Adobe Sensei AI technology. Now you can place one photo inside another by wrapping it around an object like a coffee mug or fitting it inside shapes like the lenses of sunglasses. There’s no limit to what you can create!


Pick the perfect aspect ratio
We all love to share on social media and Premiere Elements now allows you to easily edit and export your videos in social-friendly vertical or square formats without losing content. You can also add motion titles, mattes, and backgrounds designed for non-horizontal videos.

Auto-reframe your subject
Whether you’re trying to capture a kid’s birthday party or their big soccer game, it can be hard to get quality video footage when there is a lot of motion. Adobe Sensei AI technology can automatically re-frame your subject to keep the most important part of the action in the frame.


Guided edits
Easily grow your skills with Guided Edits by simply following the easy steps to make basic tweaks, artistic creations, and everything in between.
Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements boast 87 Guided Edits and are introducing four all-new options this year, including one for making your furry and feathered friends look their best. Use Photoshop Elements to frame them up just right, adjust color and lighting, select and refine detailed edges like fur, and remove collars and leashes in a few simple steps.
Perfect pet

Extend photo backgrounds
Create a stunning landscape or reposition your subject for the perfect social post by easily extending your photo’s background. The magic of Content-Aware Fill technology in Photoshop Elements makes it all possible.

Add fun animated overlays
Jazz up any video in Premiere Elements with flitting butterflies, encircling hearts, and other beautiful and whimsical animations. Create a whole new look in a few quick steps.
Adjust shadows and highlights
Easily reveal hidden details in the darkest or brightest areas of your videos so there’s more to see in every scene.

Explore new slideshow styles
Show off your photos and videos with new animated slideshow templates in a range of fun styles.

Additional updates
In addition to a refreshed look and feel that makes both Photoshop and Premiere Elements easier to navigate, we have updated the Organizer to allow you to view GIFs in just one click.
To create an even more hassle-free experience, new Automatic Software Updates allow you to update your version of Photoshop and Premiere Elements without dealing with dialogue boxes.
