The point is to have the picture cropped/resized by you, then printing @ actual size. This way you have control.

You have ro resize prior to sending it to the printer.
Go to Image>resize>image size and you will see % scale in the drop-down. This process is contingent on resampling. Be sure that "constrain proportions" is checked.
The alternative is to crop the picture to desired specs.

I used a layer mask (see my post above), and extracted the ring by painting over the gray background inside & outside the ring with a black brush, leaving me with the ring surrounded by transparency.
I placed a layer filled with red between the Background & Background copy layers for demonstration.
Note the residual serrated stuff, lower right, which I left behind inadvertantly.
Remember, a black brush hides, a white brush reveals.

The semi-automated processes that you are calling on don't work for you, I am trying to coax you to using a mask. This is a powerful modality that can delete unwanted pixels, leaving you with the object (tree trunk.)
Step #3 points to where you can apply a mask to the Background copy layer, which is an unlocked layer.. I am using PSEv.2024.
Layer masks control the visibility of layers without editing the layer itself. Depending on the kind of effect you want to achieve, you can use either a layer mask or a clipping mask.

Try using a layer mask.
1. Open your image file, duplicate the background layer, shut off its visibility, and work on the Background Copy Layer.
2. Set your foreground color chip to black
3. At the top of the Layers panel click on the mask icon to select it
4. Paint the background with a black brush. You can change the size of the cursor with the bracket keys next to the letter P on the keyboard. If you go too far, switch the color chip to white. (hit x on keyboard) and paint with white. "Black hides, white reveals."
5. You should be able to extract the object as a tight, precise selection.

Since the Selection brush does not work for you, have you tried to make a selection with the lasso tool, the magnetic lasso tool, or the magic wand tool? The magic wand makes a selection of an object with solid color. Prior to making a selectiom, I invariably boost the contrast between foreground & background. It would help if you post a representative picture (untouched) so that we may try to make a selection and offer more targeted guidance. If there is propriatary information on the picture, you can blur that in order to respect the work of the archeologists.

I have read your post several times, and as I understand it, the Windows snipping tool misbehaves when the snip target is PSE. Allegedly this is causally related to WINDOWS 11. Have you checked on the Windows forum? Can you access a print screen via the computer's keyboard?

Check the color setting option again.
1. In Editor, go to Edit.Color settings. and check "optimize for computer screens."
2. Go to File>print . In the dialog that opens, lower left, click on "more options." Click on Color Management> color handling, select "Printer Manages Colors." The point is not to have both PSE and the printer manage colors.
3. How did you calibrate your monitor? Which tool? Most monitors are set too bright by default resulting in dark print output.
4. Try a test print via Organizer, as the print engines are not the same for Editor & Organizer.

Consider uninstalling and reinstalling the software. Be sure to sign out via the help menu prior to uninstalling
There are other way to sharpen within PSE. Try this:
1. Open your picture file and duplicate the Background layer
2. Set the Blending mode of the Background copy layer to Overlay
3. Access the Filter menu>Other>High Pass and work the slider to sharpen.

After you have made a selection of an object using one of the selection tools, e.g. Magnetic Lasso tool, you should see "marching ants" outline surrounding the object. Press CTRR+J to place the object on its own layer.

If I understand correctly, the software was installed on the machine that you gave away, and on the 2016 machine. The license was for installation on 2 active machines. Did you sign out/deactivate PSE via the help menu prior to reformatting the disk?
I suspect that Adobe's server is blocking you and this action is causally related. You can set up a chat session with Adobe with the request to reactivate PSE for you. They may claim that PSEv.13 is no longer supported, however.

1. Open your picture file This wil be the Background layer
2. Go to Select>all. At this stage you should see an outline "marching ants" surrounding the content on the Background layer.. It indicates that the selection is complete. This information will be on the clipboard, ready to be pasted.

If you wish to make a selection of an object, use one of the selection tools, e.g. lasso tool. Once the selection is complete, Edit>copy should work.

What is the resolution of these files? The rule of thumb for printing is in the 240-300 px/in range.
If you print the same files from another app, what happens?
Have you tried printing via another printer or a commercial kiosk?

I have 2 Epson printers, and use Epson ink cartridges. I always print via the editor, as the print engines in editor & organizer are not the same. Under Edit>color settings I have checked "No Color Management" and have the printer manage colors. The point is not to have both PSE & printer manage colors. As an experiment, reverse these settings to see if that makes a difference.
