Photoshop Elements

HiI have recently installed Elements 2023. I am using Windows 10. I am using dual extended screens. I opened Organizer to import edited images from my folders.It first imported my General catalog from my previous version 2018When I try to open "Import" to load new images from my folders , I do not get a dropdown menu to select an option. I wanted to check if my set-up was correct and tried to open File. This would also not provide a drop-down menu. I checked Edit, View & Help, none of them produced the appropriate menus.In the organizer itself, none of the following Tabs produce the appropriate dropdown menu :Sort by, Create or Share, but tabs, Media, People, Places events and Search all worked perfectly.I am also able to open an image in Organizer and access the Grid from the open image.I rebooted and tried again, same non responsive Tabs. I rebooted, opened the editor and accessed the Organizer from there. Still no response from the Tabs.To check to see if I had a mouse or c

I want to delete all the files and  folders I have in PSE 2020. Photos are all mixed up in the wrong folders.  Once they were in the correct folders.  From Tree view, I plan to delete all the dated folders and some of the unusual ones named 1, 2, 3, etc. Then I plan to attach my external hard drive, my backup, and re-install my photo catalog. Is this the correct way I should handle this situation on a MacBook Pro? I welcome any guidance, including step-by-step advice.

When I make a selection and create a layer using layer via copy (CTL-J), is there a way to go back to the background layer and have the selection I made still visible so I can then select inverse and make a seperate layer of the inverse selection? Right now my only path seems to use the selection tool to re-select a new selection and proceed from there. thanks

Hello, I have a problem with PE2023.I'm following a course/ tutorial and in a lesson they says to use the Mixer Brush. Now, Adobe Elements , I don't know why don't have a mixer brush (since it's similar to the smudge tool), I hope it will be introduced in the next update, as,  it's a simple tool and can fit good , also together the smudge tool, to be added in Photoshop Elements.   For now, I can 't go on on the tutorial, as the mixer brush it seems different from the smudge tool, or , do you know if there's a way to reach the same effect with other options /tools?I don't know, maybe the most expert could find a way to obtain the results the same (since elements it reach the effects in less time and is more 'immediate', but I don't know the software well yet. How can I find a way to make a mixer brush in Photoshop Elements 2023?  Thank you in advance for the help! 

Camera nikond600 imported into Lightroom thought I was shooting raw came over as Jpeg need to editusing Photoshop.  save the file in PSD file format while you work on the editing ?.   is it tiff ?is it png? is it psd? what format? TO EDIT, from what I read you should not continually save in jpeg format. What about Smart Object features?. Change your image into a smart object before editing to keep the original image at its highest quality.?  The highest quality can  this be done to all my photos , how do I select highest quality in photoshop? where is this located in photoshop? once for the bulk of my photos or is it photo one at a time? to get highest quality. When finishing editing whatevver format I use , do I save? save as? will it be what format? tiff? will it be png? or psd?  when do you use "export as" ? when you are at the point of sending to printer or everytime you want to edit?An Export As command allows the user to save the image

We just started taking photos with a Galaxy S23.  We use the photo downloader to load the images from the phone to the Organizer.  Lately all the photos appear pixelated when they appear in the Organizer.  We tend to try to load about 800 photos at a time.  We have never had this problem with our older phones.  I'm a very amature photographer.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have been using PSE 2019 with Premiere Elements 2018. I installed  the latest version of both programs (2023) then tried to convert the existing catalog which I have stored in a custom location on my hard drive. It seemed to be working fine until I got a message saying the conversion had failed. I looked at the pse-conversion-log file and everything seems to have worked up to the end when it has the folowing entries. conversion log: Completedconversion log: Failed to rename new catalogconversion log: Conversion Failed

I have been using Elements 8 for many years and am now running it on Windows 10. As Elements 2023 now has support for importing HEIC files from iPhone I am thinking of migrating to 2023. Is it possible to achieve this by : Backup Elements 8 CatalogUninstall Elements 8Install Elements 2023Restore Elements 8 Catalog into Elements 2023    ?I was wondering if there would be any catalog structure differences that might complicate things ?. Any advice on this would be much appreciated. Thanks, Peter.

Hi I'm trying to open a new file (or use an existing one) and  type text on it and get a program error . any idea why? or how to deal with it? 

Bought a new Windows computer.Installed Photoshop Elements 18 from Adobe web page.Onedrive took care of syncing the photos from the cloud.Restored catalog from full backup Organizer's Media view shows all photos correctly.Organizer's My Folders shows only folders to which I have imported since the restore. Show All Subfolders shows the expected subfolder tree. However:Almost none show the binocular icon for folders holding imported files. Those that do have been created and the media imported after the installationSelecting a folder gives the "No files from this folder have been imported into Elements Organizer. To add any files, right click on the folder and select "Import Media"All of the folders hold imported files:Import Media for a folder takes a long time and then says all files were skipped because they are already in the catalog.The folder still does not show the binocular icon.Selecting the folder still shows no content. Repairing the catalog does not help.Optimizing

I don't seem able to install. Still possible? How? Any advice much appreciated. Thank you.

I'm most familiar with Photoshop CS6 but Photoshop Elements does some things that are just plain fun, quick, and easy. I'm considering buying a license for the current PSE release. In the olden days before subscriptions, a person would buy Photoshop and Adobe would give us Camera Raw updates for (I think) 3 years. After 3-years, the Camera Raw updates would stop. At that time, the person could buy a new license for the current PS release or use the DNG Converter for any RAW files from newer cameras. Since PSE is non-subscription, I wonder if that 3-years of Camera Raw updates still holds. I've searched the forum but did not find an answer.

Hello all,In my previous version e.g. I could click on a photo and choose to open it with photoshop editor but in this version I do not have that option. Can anyone tell me how to make that happen instead of having to open the organizer then clicking on the photo editor and then open a photo I have saved on my desktop?  Thank youPeg

I have a copy of photoshop elements purchased in 2021. It was installed on a MacMini M1. I purchased a new MacMini M2, and copied over all the files. Photoshop will not work on the new MacMini. It tells me that sign in is required but when I sign in with the correct credentials it does not log in, and simply tells me to sign in again. There is nothing in the help for this situation. I used the chat, but Priyanshu terminated the chat after I gave him the serial number. Can anyone resolve this?

I want to remove the background from a crossed-out circle. I removed the background from the outside of the circle but not the inside. This looks like the inside is transparent, but it is not. 

I have new PC with Windows 11 but PSE8 [CD bought version] will not work.  It installs but stops PC booting so have to clean install Windows again. Something to do with CD drivers [Roxio?] not installing I think. Shame as it worked perfectly on Win10.I don't edit photos it's just the orgainser I use for family photos. I am ok to upgrade [PSE8 is rather old!] but only if I am confident my 4 catalogs will import to the latest version with all the tags etc.Thanks in advance for any answers !

When I try to import photos and I try to change the location of the files, Elements crashes. I can close all other major applications and nothing seems to help. Any suggestons?
