The end result is a visually simplified and uncluttered UI that offers a smoother workflow. Tools and functions have been conveniently moved to a context-sensitive Action Bar at the bottom of the screen, so current active tools are clearly evident and quickly accessible. Icons and text are larger, adding to fairly straightforward navigation throughout the applications. With the lighter and brighter grey background, working in PSE/PRE is much easier on the eyes regardless of age. Yet, the new UI benefits more than just half the user base. According to Adobe, one of the reasons for overhauling the UI is that about half of Elements users are 50 or over - and as everyone knows (whether you’ve experienced it for yourself or not), your vision is affected as you get older.
