Photoshop Elements

HelloCould you please kindly advise me on the best available Adobe software for creating multiple image files from a single MP4 video file automatically without having to do this manually by identifying a timeline separately for each image? I would like to create a profile photo from a personal video and choose from the multiple images forthcoming from an automated procedure. Many thanks in advance

Photoshop Elements 2024 layers menu options grayed out layers not working works fine in PSE 2023

My current Catalog is ten plus years of various PSE years additions/upgrades restored Catalogs from over the years of restoring and it has become a mess of a Folder tree! Grayed out Folders and previous un-used drive letters & folders and file paths from way back I can see but cannot delete or remove any of it anyway I can find. How can I remove all this old junk from my catalog folder tree and just have the present used position of my photo folders in my Catalog and nothing else..?

I have just installed Elements 2024 and have started importing my iCloud images which contained jpg, jpeg, and heic formats. From the start I was able to create a backup after each session, however, somewhere down the line I stated to get indications that some of my files could not be found and that I should "reconnect". This resulted in a list of around 15 files which were missing and could not be reconnected. Their thumbnails contained a small black square with a questionmark in it and the upper right conrner cut off. The thumbnails are there in Elements, however, they are missing from my iCloud Photos folder. I have checked my iPhone and the images seem to be there (HEIF-format). This may not be relevant but In order to simplify handling, after a while, I read that jpg and jpeg were synonymous so I renamed the few jpeg files I had in my iCloud folder (Windows 11) to jpg. How should I proceed because each time I try to create a backup I get the message to reconnect to missing files?

Videos that were shot with my Panasonic DMC-FZ28 will not show video only audio in PEOrganizer 24. When imported in Premiere Elements 2024 they are fine. These play fine in Windows Media Player and  in Organizer I get only a white screen and audio. MOV files shot with other devices play fine. Is there a CODEC I'm missing?  Device name DESKTOP-MG1BDU5Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHzInstalled RAM 16.0 GBDevice ID 68A82E4D-48C3-49E8-A263-6D120EDDEFBFProduct ID 00330-50417-31130-AAOEMSystem type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processorPen and touch Pen supportEdition Windows 10 ProVersion 22H2Installed on ‎9/‎18/‎2021OS build 19045.3570Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19052.1000.0

I teach a class for those using Photoshop Elements.  They have several versions.  I want to show them how to use Content Aware Fill to make an image fit a 5x7 print.  What versions offer this option? Mary Lou Frost

I have an older Adobe Photoshop Elements [version 13]It works well. It still has more years on it. Something changed in the last update. Whenever I open the application on my computer, a WELCOME to Photoshop Elements window pops up. I have attached that image to view. I clicked on "To change preference now" click here and it takes me to my account's data and privacy settings. There are NO options for settings. Image attached.How do I get to SETTINGS for Adobe Photoshop Element 13? I want to turn off sharing. Where is the option to change the setting? I am advanced in my computer skills but for some reason This application is not showing me it's list of settings. Please if you have a moment to share your knowledge with me. I would be most grateful. Thank you!! 🙂64 bit PC Windows 10 Pro

HelloI'd like to test Photoshop Elements 2024, but without having to uninstall my purchased version 2023. Is that possible, and if yes, how can I proceed?Thanks for any help in advance

Hello!  Every time I use my PSE 15 organizer and/or editor, I get constant pop ups of upgrading or purchasing adobe items.  I can't figure out how to stop these pop ups.  Can anyone help me please...

Hi, just got a Canon SX70, i use Photoshop Elements 2022, Windows 11, no new updates for Elements 22. I save pic files as jpg and raw. When i open the raw version in Elements, it is slightly cropped compared to the jpg version, there are some pixels missing on all sides. Tried to change crop options when opening raw (as original), did not help. When i open the raw files in other apps (Irfanview or a Canon program), there is no crop. Thanks for the help!

I'm guessing PS elements is pulling up hundreds of fonts  - multiple languages (that don't even show up in my word processor).  It's almost impossible to do art with text when it takes forever to scroll through them all.  I tried to erase/hide them in the fontbook but the Mojave OS won't let me.  I get this error message on almost every one.  I've read on the adobe groups that you can't remove fonts in mojave.  I probably only use about 20 of them.  There must be a way... 

After 5 hours of trying to install PSE 2024 (after 2 hours of trying to make PSE 9 work that has faithfully served me since 2010), I gave up. Neither the installer, or cloud app installer, woul install PSE 2024.  The stand alone installer would hang on 2% or 10%, and the cloud app installer would hang on loading home or apps.  I tried everything in the repair guidance.1/ turn off firewall2/ try wired instead of wifi3/ turn off anything antivirus or that intercepts file or internet connections4/ run the cleaners5/ start disabling other services6/ install latest drivers and windows update (or remove 23h2, that I did, that made no difference, and now can't re-install)and from the internet7/ repair all vc++ distributables8/ run sfc and disms Nothing worked.  And the final recommendation of a clean Windows 11 install... I will just use Gimp in a pinch, or my tombstoned Windows 10 machine with pse 9). It was disheartening to see I am not the only one with this proble

I am overdue for cleaning up my computer and I want to remove some now unused earlier versions of PSE going back to 2014. I use PSE 2018 currently and would like to keep it for now as it functions good for me right now. After glitches, disasters and issues with previous versions while backing up catalog, tags, uninstall, reinstall, converting, restoring, reimporting tagged photo files, etc. I am half scared to do anything with PSE at all now as I am afraid of screwing up and losing my filing & tagging of 50k+ photos. I have long absences of using PSE so I am not the most knowledgeable or proficient at using it! My file tree OS (C:) > ProgramData Thru numerous > > > > > > to MyCatalog > Photos looks to me like total chaos. All my PSE versions are stacked and mixed together it seems. My question is will a full PSE 2018 Catalog backup to an external hard drive before I remove any of the previous PSE versions have the potential to be corrupted by any of the prev

Hello everyone.I'm currently using Photoshop Elements 2024 on Windows 11, and I have a problem with "Process multiple files". I want to simply resize some PNG files with transparent background, but even if I check that the format is correct (PNG in the file type menu), the batch processing add them a white background... Why?

Using PSE Organizer 2023 on Macbook (M2 Pro, 16 GB RAM, 600 GB free on the SSD, Sonoma 14.3). I have about 44K images in the catalog. Performance is good when first opening the application and catalog, but after using for 3-5 minutes, I get the spinning wheel of death (the wheel that shows in Organizer) when I move to a different album to view other photos. The delay can be 1-2 minutes before Organizer starts responding normally again. If I then move to another album the same slowdown occurs and often gets worse. I've also had similar slowdowns when importing photos - it did this once when I was trying to import just one photo and I had to Force Quit the app after a few minutes. I have turned off all the media analysis features and turned off the use of the GPU (in the PSE Editor), but to no avail. The app can use up to 70% of RAM. I upgraded my laptop from a 2012 Macbook Air with PSE 14 in Sept. 2023. I had no such problems with this catalog on the ancient Air and PSE 14. I'm out of i

Attemting to open Photoshop [Elements] 2020 and it opens to editor screen but cannot do anything. Have to close with Task manger where it says 'not responding'. Tried uninstal and reinstalling, updates and problem remains. PC is Win 10, M.2 drives, 32G RAM 

Hello, today I was following a tutorial on youtube (about frequency separations) and a certain point, it says to use 'gaussian blur'.Do you know , in Photoshop Elements if there's 'Gaussian ' blur?I ask this, because I have Photoshop Elements in Italian, and there's no a literal translation like "Sfocatura Gaussiana", as suggest the google translator.  I don't think in Italian, it was translated as 'sfocatura gaussiana' even if I 've also found a tutorial of Adobe itself, that address to 'sfocatura gaussiana', as explanation, but in facts, as 'button' , I can't find 'sfocatura gaussiana'. So I wonder if Photoshop Elements have 'gaussian blur ' and how is it called in Italian this option? Since there's many different type of blurs and many looks almost similar to gaussian blur in the video lesson, I wonder which of all these blurs is the one that it matchs with 'sfocatura gaussiana' in italian. ... Thank you for any help as always!  

I received an operating system error when trying to save a file for the web in my PSE2023 for Mac.    What do I need to do?Thanks,Vicky

Hi all, I am running Mojave 10.14.6 on a Mac Pro.  When I import videos from Photos, the date of the video changes to today's date. I spent a couple of hours on the phone today with Apple support, they told me to re-download my photo catalog from the cloud as full files, it didn't help. Other people say to drag the  video from photos rather than export (which I do leaving original info intact) but that doesn't help either.  Anybody found a solution?  Thanks.

I get pop-up ads in Photoshop Elements, and there is no "Don't show again" option. Just "Learn more..." and "Later", but no option for "Never." I have checked all the preferences and everything that seems related is unchecked.   This is poor form on Adobe's part. Shame on them. Spam me with e-mail if you want, but don't get in my way when I'm trying to use the product I paid for.

When choose to save a JPG indivudally there's a slider with 0-12 to choose quality level (and file size), but when you process multiple files you can only chose 4 quality settings. For me the max quality creates to large files typically between 11-14Mb, and high 2-4Mb which is too low. I use the setting 10 which to me is the best balance between size and quality. So any chance there might be a similar slider when processing multiple files

first timer.  please email me at [email removed by moderator] with answer or clue to find this post again.   PS Elements 2020 on MS Window 365.  Regarding "Processing Multipy files" - batch work. This program worked fine until a few days ago.  Now this "Process Multipe files ..." is not working and I need it for large batch of photos.   Set-up works and I beleive all boxes I need and want are checked.  Photos from and to, with name and extention and dpi set.  No extra processing.     I see photos go into the new folder but now as a .tmp (temp) file and then appear to overwrite the previous photo.  In the end I only have the last photo.   So, I uninstalled the program and reinstalled.  And it still does not work?????????   Please help.  Thanks Gary

I just did a fresh install of PSE 2024 on my PC. I just want to bring some folders from my old catalog into my new 2024 My Catalog. How do I copy individual folders between catalogs and keep all my Tags intact? I do not want to just restore my older PSE Catalog. I have ten years of various PSE years additions/upgrades restored Catalogs from over the years of restoring and it has become a mess of a Folder tree! Folders I can see but can't delete, etc etc. I just want to bring some folders from my old Catalog into my new 2024 My Catalog and start TOTALLY  fresh again with a clean slate BUT have my tags stay intact. Can it be done inside PSE or do I have to use Windows file explorer..? I could not figure out a simple way to do it. Any help greatly appreciated

Hello! I'm trying to use the text tool in Elements 2023, and instead of starting a new line when I press Enter it commits changes instead of starting a new line like it's supposed to. I've already tried playing around with font size and leading like another pst here suggested, and none of it's worked. Can anyone please advise? I have a project with a deadline, and not being able to do something as basic as start a new line of text is awful! Thanks!
