In a move which upgrades Adobe's Elements line of consumer photo and video-editing software products, the company has recently launched the Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 software updates.

With Adobe having launched the 2013 Adobe Elements 12 a year back, the latest software updates announced by Adobe basically mark an improvement over that release. The most noteworthy improvement which the newly- announced updates bring to the Elements software series is better mobile capabilities for delivering "professional-grade editing technology" to photos as well as videos on the move.

One of the other major new features brought to the Elements software range this year is "Elements Live" feature, which basically underscores a channel within the software that has been designed to persuade users to be creative while honing their skills.

In addition, the Elements 13 release also brings along a collection of easy-to-use editing tools which, as per Adobe's claims, will enable the consumers to "achieve the results they want."

Noting that "our customers don't always have the time or the know-how to get the results they desire," Shanmugh Natarajan - Adobe's senior director of engineering for core technologies and products - said: "In Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13, we focused on developing tools that automate the process or guide customers through the steps to create the photos they'll love and want to share."
