If you're referring to Elements+ it's an add on to PSE that unlocks/provides much of the functionality of full blown Photoshop. There's another program named ElementsXXL. Both have similarities in functionality, but there a pretty big difference in cost Elements+ $12; Elements XXL $49.95) I tried both and settled on Elements+ which I'm extremely pleased. The main reason I purchased was focus stacking and layer alignment. Here's a thread that might interest you If you're looking for PSE+ I can't help |

Elements plus is I guess what I am talking about. I too am interested in focus stacking. Thanks

What is it? Benefits? Thanks I paid $12 for our Elements + and I would not do without it for $1200, and I have only been in the shallow end of it's capabilities. It is worth ten times the cost for only one feature that has changed my whole outlook on things --- layer masks. It is loaded with all sorts of features that I find myself using all the time. Best $12 I ever spent. |

However, layer masks have been a standard part of Elements for several releases now (as well as many other invaluable improvements since version 7). |

You have to run your clock back about thirty years to keep up with me; it is good that I am no further behind the times than that. |

What's New In Photoshop Elements 9?
Users of Elements 8 and earlier versions would have to use workarounds such as . . .
- Third-party layer masks.
- Hijack the layer mask of an adjustment layer.

There is an updated version of elements + out now. Andrei said he will be sending updates out to those who are entitled in the near future. The best feature in the new version for elements 15 and others is the advanced ACR feature which offers full Photoshop options as far as I can tell like split tone, hsl sliders, vignette etc. This is new from what elements + for POSE 15 last year. He also offers support on this forum, so for such a small amount of money you can't go wrong. |

I have added the Elements+ version to the new Elements 2018. I am very interested with the raw corrections.
Just a note about the update for Elements 15: I had a problem with my Avast Premium antivirus. They checked the file and finally recognized the file as reliable this morning.

Warning: users should keep in mind that the raw corrections are applied, not to the raw data, but to an 8-bits layer (like the option to 'Edit in Camera Raw'). That is still very useful and handy, especially with distortion and purple fringing. It would make sense to save the final edit in tiff/psd mode to keep all layers if you suspect you'll need to edit again. |

It would make sense to save the final edit in tiff/psd mode to keep all layers if you suspect you'll need to edit again. Sorry, Michel. You are a little bit wrong. It seems, I have to explain this tool. * "RAW Corrections" script works exactly like the native ACR plug-in: ALL the adjustments are stored in sidecar XMP files. Which means: 1. The result is applied to the RAW data 2. The corrections are non destructive and can be modified later on 3. You edit a file saved on your disk (changes made after opening the document are ignored) ** For a 8-bit image, the result appears as a new layer in the same document. It's made it just for users' convenience. (for result comparison, partial masking, etc.) * If you edit a 16-bit image, the result opens as a separate document. * And even if you edit a 8-bit image, you can re-open it in 16-bit mode, as shown in this video: youtu.be/sIGKLOgwl3Q?t=250*** Perhaps, this subject is a bit sophisticated. For better understanding, I'd suggest watching these 5 videos: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7LWxWLjvjBD96hZQn9iV5BJGF4YVQqrdHope this helps. |
