Premiere Elements 2023 Feature Regression [Mac version]

I purchased Premiere Elements 2023 for my MacBook largely because it now natively supports Apple's M1 chip.

 

However, I find that some features that I used extensively in my cycling video workflow in Premiere Elements 2021 are missing. Specifically the Lighting "Auto Levels" and "Auto Contrast" functions and the Color "Auto Color" function:

 

Are these features available elsewhere in the application?

AutoColor, AutoLevels and AutoContrast are removed from Mac M1 but would be present in Windows in PRE2023

Well, that's unfortunate.  

I used them all the time for color-grading my bicycling videos, so if anyone has any influence to put them back into the Mac product please note that they were used and are missed.

Those features are gone forever.

If this is a big setback in your workflow, i would ask money back (within a month and bought via Adobe) and revert to previous version.

You may change the title with the word Mac, so that Mac team of Adobe can pay attention (if they wills).

There doesn't appear to be an option to edit the original post or it's title.

Elements could be slightly different on a Mac.

Here are screenshots of the Lighting and Color "fix" panels for Elements 2023:

Note the absence of the "Auto Levels", "Auto Contrast", and "Auto Color" buttons.

It may well be a Mac issue. Those features are still in the 2023 Windows version of Premiere Elements.

    Those features appear to still be present in my Windows 11 version of 2023.
