However there is the option to isolate a subject by drawing round it (though this tool isn’t highlighted when following the Animated Overlays guided edit.) ![]() The Animated Overlays Guided Edit also offers social media-friendly effects such as light leakage and lens flares. You can also introduce weather-related elements such as rain, fog and even bolts of lightning, which could be useful for drama productions.

The Quick workspace is the perfect place to trim single clips or cut a few shots together in the timeline before sharing them as a sequence. If you’re familiar with Photoshop Elements then Premiere Elements will look similar thanks to the same three workspaces - Quick, Guided and Expert. There’s no noticeable difference to the light grey look of the Premiere Elements 2022 workspace compared with earlier incarnations, but this will be comforting to those already using version 2021 (or earlier). Here we’ve added light leakage and lens flare. When not travelling I run photo workshops, teach digital photography, video and post-production classes online and in face-to-face classes locally through Sydney University.You can combine animated overlays as multiple layers to produce more complex effects. Nowadays I mostly write, teach and run specialist small group photo tours to photo-centric locations in Africa, Japan, Iceland, Ethiopia, Madagascar and Cuba. I have also written a number of software-centric books including Adobe Photoshop Elements 2020 for Packt Publishing (available through Amazon). In 2000 I started my own publishing business producing Australia’s best-selling specialist digital photo techniques publication: Better Digital Camera magazine.With this I aggressively pursued the goal of producing clear, well-illustrated information written in simple English and continued to develop this plain-speaking style in another specialist magazine, Better Photoshop Techniques.
