Adobe has announced the release of new video and photo editing packages.

Photoshop Elements is upgraded to version 9, and its video editing cousin Premiere Elements 9 is released as an OS X application for the first time.

Separately, they will cost you $99 each, or you can buy them both together for $149.

What do you get for your money? Well in Photoshop Elements, Adobe promises some off-shoots of the Content Aware Fill feature found in Photoshop, making it easy to edit and repair photos and have the gaps filled in realistically and automatically. The Organizer feature and Auto-Analyzer are designed to make managing large image collections easy, and there’s new face recognition technology.

Elements users might like to check out the official Facebook pages where Adobe is posting lots of tips and how-tos.

In Premiere Elements, you’ll find the same Organizer alongside tools for image stabilization and color correction.

Both applications offer access to Adobe Plus, an online backup and storage service that gives you 20GB of space for $50/year.
