Photoshop Elements

Previously I would open a new blank file (8.5x11 300 dpi) and using the move tool, drag photos in and print multiple photos on a sheet of 8.5x11 photo paper. When I attempted to move a photo into the new filke, it was converted to a smart object thumbnail. I managed to find a way to disable the smart object default but now I still get a thumbnail when I try to move my cropped photo into the blank file. I don't want a thumbnail. I just want to move already resized photos into the blank file so I can print them. Please help. 

PSE 2025 Organizer will not Auto Curate Nikon P950 NRW files. Both Organizer and Editor ACR (15.5.0.1595) recognize and display P950 NRW files but Organizer will not Auto Curate P950 NRW files. The list of Cameras supported by Camera Raw erroneously shows the P950 file format as NEF rather than NRW so this could be the problem for Auto Curate.

I have a new laptop with windows 11 pro. As I was not aware of  compatability problems, I installed Adobe photoshop elements 11. After restarting the computer, windows didn't start again. I tried several options for restart but nothing works. I read about compatability issues between photoshop and windows 11 but this doesn't help me now.Can there be att way to start windows again?

Good afternoon community,I am having problems opening photos in webp format with photoshop elements 2024.  I have installed the plugin from the adobe website but it doesn't work. Is there any way to work in this format with this version of phostoshop?

I'm unable to open webp files in Photoshop Elements v. 13.1. I see that (in a Program Files folder for Adobe, Elements 13 Organizer, Plug-Ins, File Formats) I have a file that I must have added at some point, WebPShop_0_3_0_Win_x64.8pi, but it isn't helping. Today I searched and found a forum recommendation for a download from https://github.com/fnordware/AdobeWebM#download. I tried it, and it has two versions of the file WebP.8bi, for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Photoshop. So an obvious question: how do I know which version I have? But then I simply copied one version into that same plugin folder and rebooted. When that didn't do the trick, I deleted it and copied the other version and rebooted. Still no good. So second question is what else I can do. Thank you,

I thought I posted about an hour ago but nothing shows. How long before a new post appears?

My original PSE 2021 has maintained my RAW files' Adobe RGB profile with the Edit/Color Setting set to "Always Optimize for Printing", until recently when I had to re-install it. Now it converts my RAW Adobe RGB files to sRGB. This, I assume, will degrade my image files, even if I convert back to Adobe RGB right after the ACR conversion. Question 1: is my assumption about degradation correct?Question 2: is there a way to avoid this degradation?Question 3: I know PSE 2024 does the same thing; how about PSE 2025?Question 4: why would Adobe dumb down PSE?

Apple released iOS 26.0 and macOS Tahoe yesterday (Sep 18, 2025). I have installed Tahoe on my 2022 MacBook Pro M2 and now cannot open my 2022 PSE apps (Organizer, Editor, etc). Is this a temporary situation until Adobe releases a patch or must I upgrade to a newer version of PSE? Fortunately I have an older iMac that can't be upgraded to macOS Tahoe so am still able to view my photos using PSE22 but I do need to have it on my Macbook too. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 

I recently bought a new Dell computer, running on Windows 11, and have been trying to run Photoshop Elements 2025 on it, along with a new Wacom Intuos Pro Medium 2025 tablet--the tablet seems to be working properly, but when I try to use it with Photoshop Elements 2025 I encounter two issues: either the pen pressure sensitivity doesn't work at all, or the cursor doesn't track/calibrate properly to where the pen is interacting with the tablet. The tracking/calibration problem seems to only occur in the canvas area as well. Also, both problems occur at the same time when running Photoshop. For example, if I try to use the brush or eraser tool on a canvas, at first the pen pressure won't work, then it will suddenly decide to turn on, but where the brush tool actually draws/makes brush marks is not where my cursor is on the canvas, then it will go back to the pen pressure not working.  I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling both Photoshop Elements 2025 and the

Greetings, I purchased Elements 9 back in 2010. I have a new PC and need to re-download it. I contacted the live support for Adobe. They said it was an old product, and they sent me here to the forums to find the link. Can anyone help?

Hi We recently moved computers and as part of that moved over all our photos, unfortunately we did this in Windows rather than Adobe.This did mean we could put them in a better folder e.g. C:/Photos (they are then sorted in a folder for each year) as over several years of moves in Adobe the catalog had ended up in C:/photos/Users/<username>/Pictures/Photos.If I want to put Elements on the new machine and recreate my Catalog with alll my Tags etc, then I think I will have to do the Catalog backup and restore in Elements, effectively duplicating the copy we already did. However I wanted to ask first in case there is any other option to point to the newly copied files.I still have the old machine with everything on it.Thanks

I've got Photoshop Elements 2025 and I'm trying to save aa a TGA file. I can't find a definitive answer if it is supported in Photoshop Elements.Firstly, as far as I can tell, the PSD image is RGB color wth 8 Bits/Channel Various answers I've seen say use Save As a Copy menu option, but that isn't availableThere is a Save: As a Copy option on the Save As dialog but it doesn't seem to make any difference. The only image types supported areI've tried all options on the Maximize PSD File Compatibility preferences, but again makes no difference.Is there a way to get this working or is TA image support just missing from Photoshop Elements? Thanks

Up to today I had no problem using the Nik 6 perpective tools as a plugin with PSE 2025. From today I get the message the this function is not available.Anyone else encountered this and found a way around it?

For those who own Adobe Photoshop Elements 2024 and have updated to macOS Tahoe 26.0 Does PSE 2024 work properly or are there bugs? Pour ceux qui possèdent Adobe Photoshop Éléments 2024 et qui ont fait la mise à jour vers macOS Tahoe 26.0. Est ce que PSE 2024 fonctionne correctement ou y a t il des bugs ?

Back in January, I purchased a 3-year license for Photoshop and Premiere Elements 2025. Both were working just fine a couple of hours ago. Now when I tried to access the apps, I get a message telling me to sign up for a 7-day free trial! I checked my Adobe account and, of course, both apps are showing under my Products list and say they expire in January 2028. To resolve this issue, I have tried the following:Restarted my computerSigned out and signed back into my Adobe accountUninstalled and reinstalled both appsAccepted the 7-day trial, gone into Help and signed out and in to my Adobe account My issue persists. Help?

Attempts to open a small jpg file triggers this dialog, "Could not complete yor request because of a program error"  If it's any help, the image was downloaded from FB.  Any ideas as to what the problem might be or how to fix it.  It open's just fine using Win 11 "Photos" app

I have all of my images on an external hard drive but my catalog was on the local C:drive.  Recently the C drive crashed and a catalog from February 2024 has been recovered.   I have a full backup from January 2024 and two incrementals from October 2024 and March 2025. on a second hard drive  Can I restore only the most recent catalog without restoring the images?  If not I am wondering if I can restore just the two incremental backups?  I have never had to restore before so I am uncertain how this works. I know I will have to re-import and re-tag all images after March 2025  regardless of how I recover.  

Ich habe in Elements einem Bild Personen zugewiesen. Danach habe ich in Microsoft den Bildausschnitt geändert. Wenn ich jetzt das Bild in Elements öffne, wird die Personenkennungdaneben dargestellt. Wie kann ich die Bilderkennung in diesem Bild reorganisieren.

Hello. I have a picture that I want to use for an application's icon, and I was hoping that I could create the icon in PhotoShop Elements 6. I do not see any way to do this, however. That file-type option is not available in either "Save As" or "Export." Does anyone know how to do this? I did a Google search and saw where I would need to download a plug-in. If this is true, can anyone recommend a good plug-in? (I'm a little paranoid about what I download on my computer). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using PSE 2022 and I can't find a way to keep my Photo Bin always showing at the bottom of the screen.  In much earlier versions, I could do this and it's frustrating not being able to see everything at a glance instead of the additional step of clicking to open it and show the files.  I just want it to be static and not disappear.  It's so frustrating and I've had no luck changing a setting to make it always active.  Any help would be appreciated. 

Ref. Adobe Photoshop Elements 2025: My purchase confirmation said, it includes the Photoshop Elements 2025 mobile Beta App. I am supposed to access it via TestFlight. I installed TestFlight app on my iPhone but it does not let me sign in, it is asking me for the code that I am supposed to ask Adobe about. I managed to reach a person at Adobe, despite various Bots making it extremely difficult, got a telephone appointment for yesterday evening, but no one called me. I hope this community can help.

   Want to re-install PSE 15 on Windows 11.  Received msg. "installer failed to initialize."   Adobe Help Chat was incompetent.  Said PSE 15 will not work on Win. 11 despite the fact that I have  been using it on Win. 11 for several years.   They said I could not re-install w/o uninstalling the existing program (not a re-install but a new install)  which obviously I did not want to do not knowing if PSE could be installed again.   Does anyone know if there is a solution to the "failed installer" problem?   Does an existing program have to be uninstalled first?   My experience has been there is no problem running the install proceess again w/o having to uninstall the existing program first..   I purchased PSE 22 a few years  but uninstalled it because Adobe had eliminated some functions that I use.  Don't recall what they were but I think at least one had to do with eliminating selection

Hello.   Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 worked fine for me when using Windows 10. I did not want to upgrade to Windows 11 but my hard drive had to be replaced and without consulting me, the technician loaded Windows 11 on it, bummer 😞   When I installed PS Elements 8 from the CD disk and entered my serial number, it loaded a totally different version of Photoshop and wants me to pay and/or subscribe. If it's possible to install PS Elements 8 from the disk and run the version I have been using and am familiar with, please send detailed instructions.   I do not need anything more than what I paid for and hope I don't have to upgrade to a newer version or get stuck having to pay a subscription fee.   Thanks for any help.      

Ich nutze unter Windows 11 verschiedene Versionen von Photoshop Elements auf 2 DELL Rechnern und einem Acer Notebook ohne Probleme.Auf einem neuen DELL-System kann ich Photoshop Elements zwar installieren, aber nach einem Neustart geht der Rechner in einen Fehlermodus.Eine automatische Reparatur bringt kein Ergebnis. Ein Hinweis auf ein Windows-Log bringt nichts, da man nicht mehr auf die Systemplatte kommt.Man muss den Rechner zurücksetzen. Ist da irgendetwas bekannt?
