Photoshop Elements

. . . KILLED IT! I paid for this software in 2014 - it worked fine until this reinstall attempt from my unupgradeable Win10 computer (yes, I uninstalled it). I don't use it often enough to subscribe. I keep getting the round and round, sign in, okay you can continue, back to sign in, and on and on and on. I've read all of the posts I can find, but no one seems to know how to get around the Adobe sign-in. Adobe does NOT have my Adobe PSE7, 9, or 13 listed.  Adobe has been a pain since I started using it because of their attitude to their 'earlier' products - if it works, why should I have to replace it because they 'say' they have no access to verify license. I can't even get to the point where I would enter the Serial#. If anyone has any new information, it would be appreciated as I see folks who are funning PSE7 on their Win11. PSE13 ought to then as well. HELP!!!

Hi folks!  I'm new here.  I bought Elements 2023, along with Jeff Carlson's Visual Quickstart Guide, published the year before.  Elements is installed and running just fine on my Mac desktop.  Somehow, I've been distracted for the past two years, and am only now gearing up for Elements. Does it make sense to stick with my 2023 version, or has a lot changed since then?  If not much has changed I would rather save my money.  I realize that tastes differ, and there are some who always want to upgrade to the latest and greatest.  I'm just hoping for some collective wisdom on the return-on-investment for the upgrade. Thank you!

Hello. I've been trying to figure this out for awhile but can't seem to get anywhere with it. Is there a way to organize and move your actions in the action panel in PSE 24? It's not like the older versions where you can click and drag to your favorites folder. Thanks for any help!

Even though I have the print action set for borderless printing in Elements it is printing the photo smaller than 4x6 and not filling the photo paper.

I haven't used PE 2019 for a few years but today tried to install it on a Windows 10 Pro 22H2 box.  The installation went fine but when I tried to use it I was prompted for a 6 digit serial number whereas the serial number on my Elements packaging is 24 numbers separaed by hyphens!  I do have an Adobe account (as I have been running an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription on a Windows 11 PC for a few years) and I am pretty certain I created it when I first registered Elements in late 2018.  But my CC account does not mention that I own the Elements as well.  Can anyone suggest what I should do get Elements working?  Thanks

I use the places tab in Organizer 2025, which automatically maps photos based on where they were taken. However, videos don't get mapped and I have to manually add their locations. Although ExifTool shows GPS data is present in both photo and video files, Organizer only displays GPS details for photos. I've attached screenshots of the metadata panel for a photo and a video taken at the same time and place, as well as ExifTool data for both files. Has anyone else experienced issues with video file locations in Organizer? Is it a bug or by desgin?Thanks,MichaelPC Windows 11, media taken with Samsung s24 phone

Yesterday on opening my Photoshop 2022  I had the popup again about updating to  Elements 2025 so I went intp preference and unchecked some boxes as I had read on this site to do that. Later when I opened it again another box appeared saying to scan Q code or paste link in browser and verify my Adobe account . Upon correctly signing in it then asked me to enter my serial number for the product. That seemed to work and I eventually was able to use my program.  Today no pop up of upgrade to 2025 but  same thing about signing into my Adobe account to verify and entering serial number happened today and even more delay as the editor portion took awhile to load.   Is this because I changed my preferences in the editor portion.  Should I go back in and check those boxes I unchecked?  I am happy still with the version I have as works for what I want to accomplish.  But I don't want to go through this rigmorale everyday to open program. advice wante

I've been trying to use Photoshop Elements 2023 (Windows) to find photos captured on a particular month and day regardless of the year. I've tried the Search feature using text like "August 30" and "8/30" and "Aug 30" and I've tried Find>By details (Metadata)>Capture date. The latter seems to require a year. Any suggestions? Thanks for your attention.

I've misplaced my activation key for Photoshop Elements 7, and wish to install it on a new laptop.  I do have the serial number.  Any advice to recover the activation key would be appreciated.  I followed the steps on a previous post, and it didn't work.  Thanks.

TIA for any assistance. I just purchased and downloaded Elements 2024. The main reason I purchased it is because Adobe says it can be used OFFLINE once it's installed and not necessary to sign in (i.e. it's a stand alone product that can be used offline). I've entered the serial number and assumed it was activated at that point. (Apparently not tho' - my Adobe account shows I have no activated devices (using on my laptop only)). So far, I've only tried opening the photo editor workspace it opens just fine and I did a simple crop and save on a image. Wandering around the workspace menu, I see that I'm already logged in to my Adobe account - seemingly from the enter serial # step I did. I found I was logged under the Help menu in the photo editor workspace. If I select to "sign out", I get a "Sign out" pop up which advises "signing out will deactivate Photoshop Elements 2024 on this machine until you sign in again. This will also sign you out of all other Adobe applications on

How do I disable auto sync in Photoshop Elements

Windows 11 (automatically updated with a 2 week delay after releases), Organizer 2024, 32 GB RAM, Intel Core i7-14700 processor.  Catalog is on a 500GB SSD with 449 GB free space.   When I'm adding names to the UnNamed People shortcuts, frequently all of the Named and UnNamed shortcuts disappear.  To get them back, I must click some of the other menu items, like "Search" at the top of the page, then go back to the People panel and they usually all reappear. I've tried restarting the program, restarting the computer, repairing and optimizing the catalog.  None seem to help avoid that problem. I'm working with 73,000+ photos and videos.  Thought maybe I was pushing the program by not pausing between entering edits, but that doesn't help either. Suggestions?

I bought PS Elements two months ago and it worked perfectly. However, when I try to open the program now, it says that I have to reactivate PS Elements. When I press the buttom "Reactivate", I get 404 Page not found.I have tried to reinstall Elements but it doesn't work.Please advice what to do.

Did you get any resolution to this please? I appear to have the same issue. I purchased Adobe Photoshop elements 2021 most likely in 2021 and have used it on a couple of computers since which have now both been restored and sold. I wasn't aware I had to sign them out of Adobe first and therefore I can not now install to the new PC I am setting up as it claims........   "The serial number xxxxxx is already in use by the maximum number of computers. You need to activate the other computer within 30 days to use this product."   Did you find a work around please?

Hallo AdobeIk heb een probleem met photoshop elements 2024. Venster passend maken werkt niet meer. Ik moet nu alles elke keer handmatig inzoomen om de foto's passend te maken. Als ik op (venster passend maken) klik dan worden de foto's heel klein. Wat heel erg vervelend is. En venster passend maken staat aangevinkt. Eerst werkte dat wel. Hoe los ik dit op? 

Wonky PhotoshopCrazy lines!  Right now I am using the Recomprose tool in  Photoshop 24. If I click on my photo, I get a line, as you would expect; however, the line doesn’t quit.  The line shoots all over the photo I am editing.  Then, the screen freezes and I can’t continue editing.  I can’t get to the main screen to use the computer. In order for me to return to my edit, I have to turn off the laptop.  I can use Ctrl Alt Delete.  Then there are options:  Lock, Task Manager, Shut Down.  The Lock choice is selected.  If I select Shut Down, I lose any editing I have made on the photo.  But Shut down it is.  Start all over again only to be foiled by Photoshop misbehaving. I have battled this problem for the better part of a year.  It’s holding up my project.  The machine has been checked out by several sources.  No one has an explanation. I  uninstalled/reinstalled Photoshop. That didn’t help. In despera

Similar questions: I have an old copy of Photoshop Elements 10 app on my Mac.  I'm running Sequoia OS 15.5, and the PE 10 uninstaller is no longer compatible. How do I properly uninstall this application?   Ditto for Extend Script Toolkit 2 app (no uninstaller, just the app), as well as just the installer and uninstaller for Adobe AIR (no app), none of which will run on Sequoia. I do not have Creative Cloud. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. 

my menus in editor are not all functioning, such as adding rulers. is this because it is a trial? or should I uninstall and try again? most items in the menus, such a view menu, are light gray, only the guide is checked and a darker gray. thanks for any help!

Windows 11, Elements Organizer 2024 I'm working with thousands of photos.  I'm in the process of cleaning up mistakes organizer has made when using facial recognition.  For example, Cullen and Caleb are brothers., and as expected, they resemble each other.  When I look at Cullen's "Confirmed Faces", some are of Caleb.  And, vice versa. Is it necessary to correct ALL the incorrect IDs in BOTH groups of Confirmed Faces?  Or can I correct some and Organizer's facial recognition in each of the groups, and Organizer will use these corrections to finish the job in both groups?  In other words, will Organizer "learn" from the corrections and finish the work for me.  I love the program, but maybe I'm expecting too much.

I just got an Epson Ecotank ET-3950 and I would like to printmon photo paper as well as matte and glossy sticker paper. I have Photoshop Elements 15 (yeah I know it is old, will upgrade if I can get some proof that it will do what I need) on a Mac. My images are brightly colored paintings and I would like to retain the pop. I understand RGB colorspace is more vivid and when you print to CMYK it gets a little more dull. I used to do tech support for Photoshop Elements and Photoshop, and worked in a print shop, 20+ freaking years ago, so I am not totally clueless, BUT a lot has changed with the tech over the years. So I am looking at Rendering Intents and changing those but my prints look no different from Rendering Intent to Rendering Intent so maybe I am missing something. I'm letting Photoshop Elements do the color management instead of the printer, and maybe that's a mistake.  My prints look pretty decent so far though. BUT then I tried a different set of images and th
