Photoshop Elements

I'm running APE 2020 on Windows 11. I'm having an issue with Photoshop Elements when I try to backup my catalog (Full backup) I have a very big collection of photos (about 20,000). When I try to start a backup I get the standard "Please wait while Elements Organizer prepares for backup" and then.. nothing. I've waited as long as an hour and a half and finally forced a close to PE. I have plenty of room where I choose to save the backup. Is my collection to big to be backed up?  Anty feedback will be appreciated.

I have been using Photoshop Elements 2024 for a few months without an issue. Recently I am getting an error message when I want to create a new blank file (A4 @ 300 pixels/inch resolution).  I go File>New>Blank File. The error is,"Could not create a new document because Photoshop Elements cannot open High Dynamic range (HDR) files. HDR support is available in Adobe Photoshop CS2 and later."What is happening?

I am using PSE 24 in Windows 11 23H2. I recently downloaded a small collection of animated emojis in MOV format. These MOV files imported into the Organizer with NO errors, but they display like this: When I double-click on one of the thumbnails to play it, I get this message: These MOV files play fine in Win 11 using my default Media Player Classic Home Cinema app. This is the MediaInfo v23.11 detail for one of the MOV files. What codec do I need to install in order to play these MOV files in PSE 24 Organizer?

How can I stop the frequent and distracting sales popup window in photoshop elements!!!!!!

Hi, How do I change the perspective so the pig is in the middle of the stew? I just need to move the pig back somehow...

I am not proficient in PE but have been able to work through the steps I need to update my photos.  I photograph and edit photos of items to be posted for sale.  Most the items in the photo use the central part of the image and I would use the Smudge Tool to make the background look nice and close to the subject.  Took some time but worked great.  The Smudge Tool would be able to get close to the subject in order the make the background look clean.  Lately, the Smudge Tool does not produce an enlarged circle for dragging through the space to be edited.  I retains the shape and size of the icon (pointed finger).  The system would enable me to enlarge the size of the brush stroke using the size -- did not have to fiddle with the brush.  Now it is just doing a small dot and I have been able to work with it but it is not as quick as it was.  Something happened to change the functionality.  Probably something I did but can't find.  Woul

I upgraded from 2020 AD elements to 2024.  For activation,  it's asking for a serial number and there are 6 boxes.  My serial number is 24  characters long.  Is there another way to activate?  The confirmation email also list my serial numbers as 24 characters.

The original NIK collection was added to PSE 18. When first opening an image in PSE 18, there would be a NIK drop down in the right side panel. However, if the NIK drop down menu is to be retained, I can not delete, nor minimize, that first image. Let's say that I've opened PSE with an image, and then keeping that image and adding othe images to process; if I were now to delte or minimize that original image, the NIK drop down menu disappears. However, NIK is still available via the Filters button. I sthis the way it is supposed to be? Thanks.

I have Photoshop Elements 2023. I run Windows 10. I want to move all my photos from my d: drive, a disc drive on my PC, to my h: drive, a disc drive on a networked NAS. I will leave the catalog at its current location on the c: drive. I made a backup of all photo folders and the catalog. So that the catalog and PSE isn’t corrupted, in PSE Organizer I dragged folders from my d: drive to my h: drive. For the most part this went fine. Because I couldn’t find a means to move multiple folders at a time, I moved each folder one at a time. PSE can see the photos on the h: drive. I successfully moved 80 folders. Several of htem have subfolders. I ran into a problem with 4 folders, 3 of which have subfolders. When I tried to drag these folders from the d: drive to the h: drive, a window displayed saying something about “media analysis.” As I recall, I clicked “OK” since there was only 1 button available. I proceeded to move another folder. After moving all folders, the 4 folders

When installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 2019, it says I can turn off data collection in perferences.  Under preferences I don't see where the option is to turn it off.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was trying to look at all pictures for a particular person that were organized and grouped through facial recognition.   In trying to do this, I received a message that this person was being removed by Elements from the People Group created by facial recognition and I had no way to stop the action.    Now the pictures remain for this person in my catalog but they are no longer associated with the person.  This detached over 3,600 pictures from this person that were previously grouped with facial recognition.  Is there a way that I can run facial recognition and have it associate all pictures again with this person.    I did see there is way to reset facial recognition and run it again but that would seem to wipe all previous work I have done to identify people and it would force me to start over from scratch.    Can I run facial recognition without losing previous work in order to have it reassociate pictures with the person that was

I've had nothing but troubles with HEIC format images from my iPhone and Photoshop Elements 2022.  I've installed the various converters (HEIC/HEVC), and PS Elements 2022 can load the images, but then face analysis or thumbnail generation hangs, followed shortly by Elements itself. I can *reliably*, 100% cause PS Elements to hang by trying to rotate a HEIC format image. Is PS Elements 2023 any better? Does it work better on Mac?

The object removal brush in Guided Edits was initially round.  But now it  is irregularly shaped, with zig-zag lines, like a rectangular amoeba.  How can I get the brush to be round again?  

Downloaded, installed, tried to open and it keeps asking for me to login, which I do and nothing happens. Gave up after 1 hour. I tied logging in first and still no good, uninstalled and downloaded again, same. Rubbish

Until today, Elements running kind of Ok on 2020 MacBook Air M1, 8gb RAm / Ventura. Always a bit tight for disk space but otehrwise OK. Today - with 4gb disk space free, it just plain won't open. I get an eddor box for a fraction of a second but it craps out faster than I can read it. Restart / trash prefs ineffective, What next?

We are actually using Adobe Elements 8.0 and we want to update to the latest Version. We are afraid that we loose informations of pictures, that we gave them in the photoshop. For example, we had to correct the date and time stamp of all pictures that we integrated from whats app messages, because they always had the wrong date and time. Do we loose these informations if we upgrade to the latest version?

I have PSE 18 on Windows 11. It appears that something has changed the way multiple RAWs are handled within ARC. In the past, when sending, let's say, three RAWs to ARC, they would be vertically lined up within ARC's left panel. And, then I could edit each one and send as a group to PSE proper.  However, all of a sudden (or what did I do,) when multiple RAWs are sent to ARC, first one appears and after editing and then selecting Done or Open Image, the next image appears in ARC...and so on. What up? What happened to their all appearing at once in the left panel? Thanks.

I have been using PSE 2024. Starting about a week ago I cannot open Canon RAW (CR3) photos with the Editor. I had no issue opening the same files with the Editor previously. I also have no problem opening JPG files with the Editor. I tried uninstalling previous versions of PSE, uninstalling and reinstalling PSE 2024 and installing the Camera Raw Plugin (from the help menu). When I install the Camer Raw Plugin the photos look better in the Organizer. When I try to edit, the Editor freezes. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Import one picture only from SD card - how?

I can't rotate the clone stamp in PS 2024. Is it only possible in full PS? Thank you. 

Hello all,   what do you think of all brushes and tools offered by the website creatorfoundry.com owned by Kelvin Pimont? Is it legit?  I do not see in all computer magazines or on the Internet any reviews of those softwares in the website or about this company??? Will those brushes and tools offered by creatorfoundry work in Photoshop Elements 2023??   Regards,   Aharon

Hallo,ich nutze seit Jahren Photoshop Elements 7.0. Da das Programm nach einem Rechner Update (Win 10) nicht mehr startete habe ich mir nun eben Photoshop Elements 2024 gekauft, heruntergeladen und installiert. Das Problem: Der Fotoeditor bricht nach ca. 30 Sec. laden ab und öffnet nicht. (Der Organizer dagegen öffnet sich). Wie kann ich das Problem beheben?

I'm running macOS Ventura 13.6.4 and using Adobe Photoshop Elements 2023. I'm trying to install a trial of Eye Candy 7 but each time I create a test file in PE the Alien Skin filter fails to show up. I have installed the entire Alen Skin folder in the plug ins folder. The test type has been 'simplyfied' in order to apply an Eye Candy effect but, as I said, the filter fails to show for selection. I think I'm missing a step somewhere. Any chance someone can help me out before the trial period ends?
