Photoshop Elements

I am using PSE 2020 on a Windows 10 PC and this question arises from a wider discussion about how to tidy up a messy folder structure  - https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-elements-discussions/tools-and-tips-for-tidying-messy-file-and-catalog-in-pse2020-on-w10/m-p/13728750#M724433  I now have a clean catalog on an external hard drive and a messy set of old folders on a PC. Before deleting any old files on the PC, I want to positively confirm that the new catalog is complete and includes everything that I want from the the PC. @MichelBParis suggested importing the old folders in to the new catalog on the basis that, if the files are not present, they will be imported and will be clearly visible on the folder view. If the files are present, the PSE will just skip them.Unfortunately, the way PSE identifies duplicates seems to be complicated and some files that look like duplicates to me are not being skipped - they are imported and now look like duplica

Can anyone tell me how to stop PE23 Organiser messing with the timestamp of my images? I set the time as I want it on my camera, and I want that time reflected in Organiser without it making any changes (if I set the timestamp wrongly, I know how to change it in organiser and don't want it second guessing me).. I recently came back from Australia. I downloaded photos from my camera to my laptop throughout the tour, and had the timestamps on my images set as I wanted them in PE23 Organiser on my laptop. But when I transfer these images across to PE23 Organiser on the master system on my desktop, it has changed the timestamp on all my images by 11 hours - except for any images that I edited on my laptop, where it changes the timestamp on the original image in the version set, but keeps the time I set on my laptop for the edited image in the version set - which then becomes a total mess to try and sort out. I know its something to do with whether daylight saving time is switched

This problem has started recently, but is causing a major problem. I have an iPhone X and am trying to import photos using Elements 18. It now imports to a folder, who's name is based on Date Modified, not Date Taken. I get 5000 photos imported into folder 20200527. Not sure why the camera thinks they were all modified on that date? Anyhow these photos are duplicates of ones that I have previously imported. I wish Elements was using Date Taken to create the folder, but it is not. Any help would be appreciated.   I just tried importing using Windows Explorer and it works as expected, so the problem is with Elements.  

I have some greyed out tools in photoshop elements 2022.  I haven't been able to resolve this issue and haven't found anything in the support community about it that helped.  I tried to contact customer support chat and this is how it ended. Syed, I believe this is the 4th time I have contacted tech support this evening. On each occasion, after being transferred to a tech support person, I eventually get the following message "While this conversation has ended, feel free to come back anytime you need help". I assume I am being cut off by the tech support person who doesn't want to deal with the problem.  Syed immediately cut off the chat at this point.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised although I was hoping I might get someone, maybe a more experienced tech support person, who would try and resolve the problem. Anyone have any advice?  I am using a Macbook Pro running the latest OS.

hi everyone,does any of you know what to do with this bug notification?it says "connect to internet and try again"(I am connected of course, and i checked the license number, it's correct).  -> before buying the official license number I am struggling with, I bought a Photoshop software " license included" on a french marketplace. It worked fine during 90 days, then asked for a license number. Obviously, it was a hacked software. I desinstalled it with Revo Uninstaller in order to get rid of all the registry files, I now i wonder if Revo Uninstaller was "not enough" & it is the reason why I cannot install the official license? Is there a specific file I should delete manually with regedit windows functionality? How can I fix this installation issue please? and last but not least, how can I denounce the vendor that sold me a hacked Adobe software please.  

Hallo,seit gestern kann ich in Photoshop Elements 2021 den Foto-Editor nicht mehr starten. Ich werde aufgefordert mich anzumelden (Meldumg: "Anmeldung erforderlich"), was ich auch erfolgreich tue (es erscheint nach der Anmeldung eine entsprechende Meldung im Browser-Fenster), die Software startet aber nicht. 21 Monate ging das einwandfrei, seit gestern aber nicht mehr. Ich bin leider vollkommen ratlos, warum dieses Problem plötzlich auftritt.Kann mir evtl. hier jemand weiterhelfen? Danke schon mal im Voraus!

bonjour,j'ai acheté Photoshop Elements 2023 sur la marketplace de cdiscount.com. Il a très bien fonctionné pendant 90 jours, puis j'ai eu cette fenêtre :  je me suis donc fait avoir par un vendeur malveillant en achetant une version d'essai !j'ai donc acheté une version officielle de Photoshop Elements 2023 avec un numéro de série / licence.mais lorsque j'ajoute le numéro de série dans  « activer maintenant »,  j'obtiens cette fenêtre : bien entendu, je suis sur internet, donc je ne comprends pas ce message d'erreur. j'aimerais svp :- savoir comment régler ce message d'erreur,- savoir comment dénoncer le vendeur de Cdiscount qui vend illégalement des versions d'essai. merci à tous !

Hello, I have a photo album with six photos on black paper and comments on the paper in white crayon.Three of the photos have a red cast which I want to remove.I then want to place the modified photos back on the page.Currently I have scanned the page to a tiff file.How can I remove the three photos to modify them and keep the background with the OK photos and the comments so I can replace the modified photos once the red cast has been removedThanksMartin

This tool no longer works correctly, although everything else seems OK.Now when I select it and then click on an area in an image and drag all that happens is that a very small area is selected and then moves as I drag the cursor without the marquee changing size. It stays about 60px square.Has anyone a solution to this problem?Thanks.

Hi I've realised that when I'm searching for images by keywords in Elements Organizer 20, the keywords which I entered onto the image using Image Tags are searchable. However, the keywords I entered when in Editor/ File Info/ Basic are not. This means that my searches are incomplete. Up until now, I had thought that keywords entered by both methods were in the same database. I've keyworded 100s of images directly in File Info so now I'm looking for a way to search them or to transfer them easily into the searchable keyword area. As an example, I tested this today on one image. I entered "The Yards" through Image Tag and then "Covent Garden" through File Info. When I do a search only "The Yards" is found. When I search for "Covent Garden" it doesn't appear. Both keywords are on the metadata in File Info.Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi there! When I enter text in Photoshop Elements 2019 along the bottom of an image, a box with ok/cancel is placed in the middle of the line, annoying, how do I get rid of it? Affe

I importet 50 new photos into the photoshop organizer.  I looked at them and they looked great.  I do not know what I did but the photos now all say Offline?  When I click on them they are blurred.  I assume they are no longer on my hard drive?  Where might they be?

Hello All, When I am building an image with a blank border around it I hit Ctrl-N and set up a blank image large enough and then drag a smaller image over this, leaving space around. Yesterday, I was unable to do this -- the new image dialog does not accept any change. Similar happens if I accept that size and try to change it via menu option Image>Resize>Image Size. Does anyone have any thoughts on where I've gone astray? Thanks for any help. System is: Windows 7, 64                  PSE 8

Just bought Photoshop Elements 2023. None of the text effects are available. Unchecking the box at Preferences > Performance > Use Grphic Processor ... didn't work. Did a reboot of machine (Mac) -- that didn't help either. There is no "fx" on a text layer showing. Is this a bug in 2023 that needs fixing?  

Hello I'm currently trying to deactivate my Photoshop Elements 9 license to install it on my new computer. Everytime im trying to deactivate it I get an "Internet Error" with a link to a connection faq.I tried everything and made sure there are no issues with my firewall, proxies, ... nothing helped. Deactivating my Adobe Premiere Elements on the other hand is working without problems. Thanks.

I have used PSE for many years and am currently using PSE 2020 on a Windows 10 PC. During migrations and in configuring OneDrive I have made a number of mistakes in how I have organised files and the PSE catalog and I am losing track of where files are stored - I haven't lost any files, yet, but I have come close to it and need to tidy things up before I do. Currently, everything is in one catalog which has almost 24,000 items, including many duplicates. The files are spread over an inconsistent file structure which is spread over my C: drive, the old drive from a previous version of Windows (E:) and in the cloud in OneDrive. (This situation is too confusing to explain here, but it might help to give you and idea about how confused I am. The interaction with OneDrive is particularly confusing to me just now and this is where I am most concerned about messing up so badly I lose data. I have had to restore from local backup once. The restore got all the data back, as far as I c

I have Photoshop Elements 14 installed on my Windows 10 computer. I want to install it on another computer in a different part of my house.    I downloaded the installation .exe and began to install it. I was logged into my account and was asked the serial number of my Photoshop Elements14 program. The program began to install, but said that I had a start of the computer in sopension, so I should restart the computer and try again. I installed the program and tried to open it.    The second time, I got a message that said I already had the maximum number of copies installed.    I don't see any other copies on my account. Under "devices" I see:   DEVICE                                   DATE ACTIVATED  ACTION Surface-Pro-4 on WINDOWS_64 Jul 26, 2021 Deactivate   Is it possible that the failed attempt to install the program is being perceived as

Starting in ACR with 16bit selected then moving into the regular editing area and not sure how to save to a jpeg -- should I be changing setting  back to 8 bit or stay in 16 bit.  Where are my choices available in PS Elements 2022 to change this. Also do I need to save the huge PSD file or is the original raw file and XML adequate. Still figuring this out. Advice please. 

Moin,kann man mit Photoshop Elements 2023 stacken?Photomerge ist ja wohl etwas anderes.Alle Hilfen sind nicht für 2023, sodass ich sogar mit dem Assistent nicht hinbekomme.VG Peter

After installing the updated version of PSE2023 (offered within the application), my most used catalog won't appear, won't open (was working fine, until the upgrade).     I did find the catalogue browsing in "custom location".  I tried to run the "convert" process, and it failed.  Please help!!
