Adobe Photoshop Elements is the consumer version of the Adobe Photoshop raster image editing product, sold at a fraction (roughly 1/7th to 1/5th) of the cost of the professional product or bundled with related hardware such as scanners and digital cameras.

Originally introduced alongside Photoshop version 7, Photoshop Elements targets photography enthusiasts and thus lacks many features that make it useful in a proper print production environment. For example, Photoshop Elements cannot export files in the CMYK color mode, supports a simplified color management system, and excludes detailed soft-proofing. It also either eliminates completely or offers simplified versions of some of the more powerful plug-ins. An example of a redesigned feature would be the Variations correction dialog.

Photoshop LE (Limited Edition) was Adobe s consumer raster image editing product prior to the introduction of Elements. Photoshop LE had similar limitations to Elements.
