Photoshop Elements

When I bought a new computer 2 -1/2 years ago, I purchased Photoshop Elements 2021. It came with a cd for Windows and also 1 for Mac.  About 6 weeks ago I purchased a Mac Mini with no CD/DVD Drive so I came to Adobe to get a download of PE 2021.  They downloaded 2022.  Today I decided to try it out.  So of course I had to provide a serial number, which I did.  Well, the number I have is outdated and Adobe wants me to purchase a NEW PRODUCT.  The 2021 didn't get  a lot of use and now they want me to buy another. NO WAY!I really did not like 2021 all that much anyway. I guess I will have to use my old laptop with PE 7.This is so wrong! I always loved working in Elements and have made so many cards. I'll have to keep an older version of Elements just so I can print them.  Elements 2021 on my Windows 10 computer  constantly freezes up (as does Word and many other things) and I must use Task Manager to close it.  The cards I tried to pr

Is there any way to direct Photoshop Elements 2020 to make changes to "OneDrive/Pictures" rather than "This PC/Pictures"? They both have the same path on my computer. Today metadata changes I make in PSE 2020 are changed back by OneDrive.

Hello so I am using photoshop elements 2022 and I have a template filled with buttons and other things that are made for editing and customizing and I am pretty new to this so can not figure out how to save one of these buttons by itself as a png without having to save the whole file. I attached a screenshot to show what I am referring to. Please someone help.

I want to change a black & white photo so that it only has 5 values of gray.  How can I do this?

When trying to update 2022 elements I keep getting an error message " You need a new app to open this auphd link".  

I recently bought a new Mac Mini M2 machine and installed Elements on it. I mostly wanted access to ACR for processing files, but after installing both Elements and the extended Utilities I am left with some questions. The Utilities installation asked me where to put stuff, and I specified a location, but nothing is in the folder location. I checked before calling ACR and after calling ACR, but the folder is still empty. I checked during processing in ACR, but the folder was empty. What is the purpose of the folder? When I used Photoshop (which I no longer have on my current system) I could edit both raw and non-raw images in ACR, but now I can only seem to open raw images in ACR. Is there no way in Elements to edit tiffs in ACR? The most puzzling things for me are the way raw images are handled with Elements and ACR. If I right-click on a raw image amd select Open With Photoshop Elements the image opens in ACR, but when saved it does not open in Elements for any further

Hallo zusammen, ich habe folgendes Problem. Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 wurde von mir nur einmal auf einem Computer installiert und lief eine ganze Zeitlang ohne Probleme. Seit einiger Zeit wird mir angezeigt, dass die Seriennummer von der maximalen Anzahl von Computern verwendet wird.Ich habe keine Möglichkeit in meinem Account einen anderen Computer zu deaktivieren, da mir kein Computer angezeigt wird.Welche Lösung gibt es für das Problem?

I am using version 19 of PSE with Windows 11 and I have 14000+ images. Today, I am in despair. I decided I needed to do a backup so I went into Organizer and clicked on <file> <manage catalogs>. I then clicked in turn on the 3 alternatives. I could see the name of my current catalog but I stupidly clicked on an old catalog name which displayed my images up to August, 2022. Now the name of my current catalog has disappeared and I am unable to display its images. I have not lost any images which remain on my hard drive. However, if I have to remain with the August, 2022, catalog, I have lost all the formatting such as stacks, albums etc. I haven't deleted anything so I am desperately hoping that there is a way to restore my foolishly unbacked up catalog. Yes, it's my own fault but please help.

Woe be the user that upgrades to Windows 11 and installs Elements 21.  The latest in what has become a long list of PE21 bugs is that when you want to choose a font to add text to an image. nothing happens, no fonts listed.

This tool is really starting to drive me up the wall.  If I'm going around a large image, being careful to use the tool, it will close automatically at seemingly random times.  Once this start happening, lines are crisscrossed and it becomes nearly impossible to salvage what you've already selected.To make matters worse, adding new sections using the same tool it very flaky.  9 out of 10 times when I click to add the beginning of a new selection, no anchor is placed. down.  I end up clicking all around the image trying to get one started.

My Photo Shop Organizer 2022 recently updated on my computer resulting in ALL of my photo captions missing. Any suggestions on how to restore the captions?Thank you.

Ist es normal, dass wenn ich das Auswahlwerkzeug benutze und hierbei das Bild vergrößere oder auch verkleinere, dass das Bild dann immer „Springt“? Beim verschieben des Bildes habe ich das Problem nicht. Hier lässt sich das Bild sauber und ruhig hin und her bewegen. Ich hoffe jemand kann mein Problem teilen und mir Hilfestellung geben. Liebe Grüße

I can't open RAF files from this camera in Elements 2023.  I have the Camera Raw plug-in installed, but it is version 14.4. Adobe cameras support chart says I need version 14.5, how do I get that?  Updates in my Elements is greyed out which I assume means it is all up to date....

While there is a response to a similar issue on the forum, it did not help my issue.I have a large collection of photos (50k) in PSE2022 that I have been using for over a year on my Windows10 desktop computer, with multiple disks.  Recently I added some photos to the collection and did some reorganising of the photos using PSE, then did a full backup.  When I next started Organizer I received the message that there was an error opening Catalog (see screenshot PSE Error 1).  I have three full backups on another disk.  The recovery did not work either (see screenshots PSE Error 2 and 3).  When I open Organizer now I get screenshot 4.I can find catalog.pse20db, but when I click on that I get screenshot PSE Error 5If I try to run Backup.tfy from my latest backup, I get PSE Error 5. If I try to run the earlier backups nothing happens.I really do not want to have to start again, so I'm desparate to find a solution to this problem.  I have no idea why it happened

Elements 2023 introduces a very advanced Location capability to assist folks who take snapshots on the road. BUT I have thousands of photos taken over almost 200 years which I have scanned but then must now add the location information.  From all over the world.   The old location tag system really works well.  Can I do somthiong like that in 23?  For instance in 22 I have continent tags and country tags and city/or region etc tags and address tags plus Family/Event/Vehicles etc etc.  After entering the photo in the system I could go the list of tags, pick the appropriate ones --tags --- or enter a new one, What to do in 23?  When I installed 23 it wiped out my list of tags apparently.  Sigh.  Might 23 be taught to work with user-added tags?  And NOT to destroy existing tags? 

I open PSE 2021> go to Photo Editor> click on Quick/Guided/Expert> Edit> Open in Camera Raw> click on a photo> the photo then overlays the editor. How do I get the photo to fit into the Q/G/E format so I can edit it?

Ciao a tutti, ho scaricato adobe photoshop elements 2023 tutto in inglese. Constatando che è un problema perchè il manuale che ho è scritto in italiano pertanto non riesco a capire quali voci di PSE corrispondono al manuale mettendomi in difficoltà nello studiare il software e nel lavorare sulle foto.Ho constatato che nelle preferenze le lingue sono: Inglese, francese, tedesco e cinese. E l'italiano che è la quarta lingua più parlata nel mondo nonchè la più bella in assoluto? Mah...Vorrei sapere come devo fare a impostarla in italiano?Grazie mille a chi mi aiuterà a risolvere il problema.Saluti a tutti.

Hallo,ich habe beim PSE - Organizer das Problem, dass die Gesichtserkenung nicht mehr sauber läuft. Sie zeigt nur noch wenige Bilder an. Beispiel: Auf etwa 2000 Bilder von Kinderfußball findet sie meinen Sohn 16 Mal. Beim Turnier davor noch auf 213 von 1250 Bildern...Zum Großteil sind das Serienbilder, da müsste die Software ihn 20 Mal direkt hintereinander erkennen. Tut sie aber nicht mehr.Hat da jemand einen Tipp?

I do many drafts of any given piece of art I make.  I send most of the drafts to the trash bin.  However, when I go into Organizer for anything, it shows empty thumbnails with a question mark on them.  I have been manually deleting them, but it is a chore.  Its there any EASY way to get rid of them?
