Functions inside Photoshop Elements

{Moderator  moved from Adobe Creative Cloud to Photoshop Elements.]

Well, I getting nowhere with Adobe Chat. I have a website and I have been using a full version of Photoshop CC. I joined in with the 49.99 membership for one year, but my subscription runs out in late August and I will now have to pay $49.99 a month to stay connected and use Photoshop. Can't afford it. So I am trying to find out if Elements will do what Photoshop has been doing for me. For my website, I have to "square up" photos to fit into my website which was composed on Wordpress. In Photoshop I reduce my photos to squares by going to the Image Canvas and adding background color as needed. Then I go to image size and reduce the squared photo to 750 x 750 pixels at 72 dpi. I am just trying to find out if Elements can do these functions. Does anyone know? Also can Elements be used independent of the Adobe Cloud? I am just getting tired of all these additional fees and I know if have a free standing program, I can just store everything on my backup.

If you just want photoshop you can switch to the Creative Cloud Photography Plan, which is much cheaper at $10 a month and includes both photoshop cc and lightroom cc.

PSE can re-size image and canvas size.

No subscription is required – the licence is perpetual, after initial purchase.

Why not download, install and use the trial version free - currently for 30 days.

The interface is slightly different to Photoshop CC but most of the tools work the same.

Thanks 99jon. Sounds like a really good idea. Adobe must be making a bundle off this Creative Cloud approach to merchandising. I'd almost rather pay several hundred bucks up front and have a fully working perpetual program. Photoshop is really awesome but I hate the idea of having to shell out $50 each month when I only use the program once or twice a month.
