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. After loading the photo in the application, I switched to the guided mode. Photoshop Elements offers a вЂњguided modeвЂќ which allows you to choose a path to enhancing your images. What you can see immediately are the scratches and discoloration that happens when a picture sits in a shoe box for 65+ years. 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. This also includes a rolling credits feature.In order to decide whether Photoshop Elements would help or hinder, I wanted to take a real-life example. The Time element lets you pin a range of intro and outro keyframes at the beginning and end of a motion graphics clip, which are preserved when you make ripple edits.

The Essential Graphics Panel, introduced with Premiere Pro CC 2017 to replace the legacy titler, has been improved by the addition of Responsive Design. There are a couple of other significant new features. Premiere Pro itself also now works in VR, so you can edit while wearing a VR viewing device such as the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive. All eight use the 360-degree space in an interesting way to move between clips, and are a welcome addition because most 2D transitions introduce unwanted visual artefacts. Immersive transitions include chroma leaks, gradient wipe, iris wipe, light leaks, light rays, Mobius zoom, random blocks and spherical blur.

The remaining effects are essentially 360-aware versions of their 2D counterparts. The VR Projection tool is also handy, because it makes it easy to use footage shot on different 360 cameras on the same timeline. The VR rotate sphere effect lets you correct orientation issues with your 3D sphere, and you can add keyframes to animate the default view direction within the 360-degree space. Even better, all these effects are GPU-accelerated, so they gain a performance advantage from your graphics hardware. Apply the VR plane to sphere and the image will instead appear like a 2D placard within 360-degree space, with tools to adjust how far away it looks and orientation. The plane-to-sphere effect is particularly useful: without this, when you import a 2D image it will automatically look curved. The new effects are seamless, and include blur, chromatic aberrations, colour gradients, de-noise, digital glitch, fractal noise, glow, plane to sphere, projection, rotate sphere and sharpen. ThereвЂ™s now a selection of 360-aware effects and transitions that derive from AdobeвЂ™s acquisition of the Mettle SkyBox Suite (sadly Adobe hasnвЂ™t included the latterвЂ™s 360 stitching tools into Premiere Pro).ДЄlthough you could apply 2D effects already, these introduce unwanted artefacts along stitching lines.

The other significant area of improvement is for creating 360-degree VR content, which Adobe is labelling Immersive Video.
