So, from the 'expert' view,  I click on Text, create a text box, choose my font from the drop-down font menu, and then attempt to choose a style. (italic, bold, condensed etcetera) from the drop-down style menu. The menu of style options pops up... and a second later... goes blank. If I am REALLY quick with my mouse, then I can select a style (virtually at random), and the system accepts that style. (and styles the text accordingly), but with only a second (or less) to act, this is hardly a practical option. When it 'blanks', it really IS blank... you cannot select anything by clicking in the blank menu area. (so we are not talking about the style options being presented as white text on a white background or anything like that.) I have already tried resetting preferences (by starting up with Ctrl-Alt-Shift), to no avail. It may be a coincidence, but on Friday I accepted an Update of PE (and Premiere as well). This is the first time I have used PE in anger since then, so I wonder if it is related ? Is there any way of "winding back" a Photoshop update ? The system is windows 10 professional (fully updated) with Photoshop Elements 14. Photoshop Elements 14 I have been using this installation of PE without problems (other than ignorance) for over a year now. Any suggestions gratefully received ... View more

I'm finding Adobe support to be (literally) non-existent when it comes to product useage, and was hoping someone here might be able to assist ? This question has been asked before, but never answered. Photoshop Elements 14 - process multiple files. I am reducing the file size of multiple files in a deep sub-folder structure. I intended to reduce the size of EACH file, whilst LEAVING IT IN PLACE. As 'source', I have selected the root folder which contains all the sub (and sub-sub etc) folders. I have selected "include all subfolders" I have selected "same as source" as the destination. (YES, I understand this will over-write the original files.). I assumed this would read all of the files in the subfolders, and write them back INTO THE SAME SUBFOLDERS. In other words, the files would be processed and replaced with the processed version, BUT IN THEIR ORIGINAL LOCATIONS. (e.g. overwritten). But it doesn't. Instead it READS files from all subfolders, but then WRITES them all back to the root of the folder, all jumbled together. Would I be right in thinking that this is a limitation of the Photoshop "process multiple files" function ? E.g. it cannot understand the concept of writing a file back to its original location, if that location is in a subfolder ? Many thanks for any of your insights on this. ... View more
