Photoshop Elements

Looks like the first update to pse 2026 was issued a bit ago today.   I've downloaded it, and ran it twice.   The only thing it did  was change it to lite mode, from the dark mode I had.  Fixes included that business with the feather slider not working. I still had the same original pse 2026 dated 0915 (Septempber 15th)- version 26.0, after the update it should have been 2026.1, and it is not.Anyone else have this issue?   I got no problem unistalling it, the update as I used it was rather small. 

I got a notice this morning that my Photoshop Elements 2026 had updates installed to fix bugs. I am a daily user of Photoshop Elements. Since the update, the polygon lasso tool does not work properly. If I try to add to a selection by holding shift key to start the addition, the polygon lasso behaves like I am constantly holding the shift key down. It moves slowly and jumping if I move the cursor. I use this tool everyday and it has never behaved this way before. It's basically unusable this way. I have rebooted, which had not effect. 

Having problems with new 2026 PSE.  Now when I close a picture in Editor, the new picture does not show up in Organizer, and I do not get the dialogue box to even ask me.  It just closes.  If I change from jpeg to psd, then the dialogue does show, but each time it does not show that it is going to Organizer.  How do I get the dialogue back for all of my pictures from Editor?  Thank you.  Never had this before in 20 years.

Hello,I was just forced to switch to PE 2026 (from 2022) for compatibility with raw images from my wife's new camera. She edits raw images, then saves JPEGS. In the File->Save As dialog, she selects JPEG, and makes sure that the boxes to add to catalog and save in version set are NOT checked. Regardless, each new JPEG gets saved in a version set and displays in line with other versions in the organizer. Have others encountered this? If so, have you figured out how to stop it? I know that it is possible to manually remove an image from a version set, and to stack version sets in the organizer. It seems like these actions should not be required. I have one additional question about the 2026 organizer. We are seeing thumbnails like this:When I hover over the little icon at the upper left the text "Non Match" appears. What does this mean? My google searches have been unhelpful so far. Thanks for any information you can provide! 

I installed PSE 2023 on a clean, fully patched W10 Pro 22H2 and got the 'MSVCR120.DLL missing' error. So I did my research on it, download and installed the latest x64 Visual C++ redisributable package (2015 - 2022) but this didn't fix it. I then removed the Visual C++ package, rebooted, re-installed it, rebooted again but the error remains. I'm hoping I don't need to uninstall then re-install PSE. So, have I missed something or do I need to sacrifice a better quality virgin remove and re-install PSE?

A lot of my edited photos won't play on my digital photo frame. They are all saved as jpegs and look fine on the memory card, when it is in a laptop. This is the first time this has happened, it's always been fine before. Anybody any ideas?

Bonjour, J'ai acheté Adobe Photoshop élément 2021 ainsi que Adobe première élément 2021, il y a quelques années. Récemment j'ai du changer le disque dur de mon PC. Mon système d'exploitation est Windows 11. Je ne peux pas ré installer mes produits Adobe. Comment puis-je faire ? Merci de votre aide

I make extensive use of Photoshop Elements 10 to organise/categorise my 35000+ photos. If I upgrade to Photoshop Elements 2025 will all the tags, categories, sub-categories etc survive the process?

Hi all, I am on a MacOS running adobe photoshop elements 2026. Recently , all the files in my catalog are missing their names.  I have tried to holding down the shift when launching photoshop elements organizer to 'repair' the catalog.  I have access to an optimize button but there is no repair button.  I also tried launching organizer, file manage catalogs and also tried restore catalogs.  Nothing appears to work.  I also see that there is an updatem version 2026.1It does not seem to be installed.  Does anyone have suggestions? ThanksDan 

The fix seems to be uncheck "make layer visibility undoable" but after a couple days of searching the program, I am unable to find any trace of that function. There are no "history options" that I can find to uncheck this box.

Bonjour à tous, je me trouve devant un probléme : Aprés avoir acheté Adobe Photoshop 15, le 30 novembre 2019, j'ai acheté Adobe Photoshop Element 18. Je viens de faire installer W11 et mon Photoshop à complétement disparu. Lorsque je veux le re-télécharger avec tous mes numéros séries, facture, Code, etc. la fenêtre de téléchargement Affiche "Fermer". Pourtant il est bien précisé que je n'ai aucun appareil enregistré. Je ne sais pas comment faire. Si quelqu'un peut m'aider à récupérer mon logitiel, un grand merci à l'avance. Cordialement à tous.

Op nieuwe pc met windows 11 heb ik Adobe Photoshop Element 2020 gezet. Het vreemde doet nu zich voor dat ik niet kan afdrukken met mijn standaard printer HP Officejet Pro 8620.  De printer werkt met andere programma's uitstekend en is juist geinstalleerd. Op mijn laptop waar APE 2020 ook op staat en deze ook met  windows 11 staat geeft dit geen probleem. Hoe kan ik het oplossen? Moet ik het programma eerst verwijderen en dan weer opnieuw installeren of is er iets anders om dit optelossen?

"My Photoshop Elements 26.0 stopped working. I reinstalled it, and it worked for a while. After the program was updated, it stopped working again."

Hello,I purchased Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 2026 about a month ago and have been using Photoshop Elements (PSE) without any problems until now.  Two days ago I hit the problem where PSE would not start. On double clicking the shortcut, I could see an entry for it appear in the background processes in Task Manager, but it would not open. There were no recent Win11 updates in this period. Some quick research revealed many suggestions on the web, in various forums (including this one) and several YouTube videos. Some of these related to earlier versions of PSE, going back to 2019.I tried some of the suggestions, with little success, but eventually managed to fix the problem by setting the properties of the .exe to run in Windows 8 compatibility mode.  But it didn't make sense to me that it had been working OK in Win11 native mode prior to this. So the next day as an experiment I turned off the compatibility mode option, and, as I suspected

I'm not sure it ever installed properly, raw never installed, but now guided doesn't work. I just get the spinning thing. Also on quick, nothing shows up in the right panel, just the spinning thing. I hope the screen shots help. Thanks.   

Bonjour, Suite à des ennuis avec un disque j'ai dû réinstaller Photoshop Elements 2022 sous Windows 10 (que j'avais acheté en novembre 2021, valable pour 2 appareils). Avec le programme "PhotoshopElements_2022_LS30_win64.exe". L'installation se déroule normalement, je démarre PhShElem et il me demande mon "code serie", je l'introduis et c'est ok. Je peux travailler avec le logiciel. et je le quitte à la fin de mon travail. Si plus tard, je relance PhShElem, il me demande à nouveau mon code serie, je l'introduis, et c'est ok. Je peux travailler avec le logiciel. et je le quitte à la fin de mon travail. Si plus tard, je relance PhShElem, etc. etc.. Toujours le même chose...

Which iOS versions are compatible with Elements 15? My Mac runs on 10.13.6 (High Sierra). If I update the system, will Elements 15 work?

Hello,after buying the license and installing the newest Photoshop Elements 2026 on my Windows 11 Pro (version 24H2),  this error occurs - ,,The database file could be not opened. This can happen if the database file is corrupt, read-only, or not a database''.What do I do now? 

How do I recapture my lost albums? I have thie images, but can't use the Organizer features on the clusters of images.

Unlike PSE 2025, the 2026 Elements Editor does not retain, from file to file, the File>Close>Save Options>Organize: "Include in the Elements Organizer" & "Save in Version Set with Original".Without retaining these 2 Include & Version options, I have to click on them for each file Save which is particularly cumbersome since the "Process Multiple Files" option also does not function (report already acknowledged).

Hallo, in dem Elements 2026 hat die Speicherung von mehreren Dateien nur einmal funktioniert, jetzt kommt immer wieder folgender Fehler "Sie müssen für die Ausganedatei(en) eine Erweiterung angeben". Die Quelle sowie der Zielordner sind ausgewählt und die Konvertierung ist in JPEG gewählt. Die Dateinnamen sollen nicht verändert werden, daher habe ich dies nicht angeklickt. Was kann ich tun damit es funktioniert?

I am using organizer 2025. I cant figure out how to delete a peoples tag from multiple phots at the same time as its way to time consuming to do it one at a time. I have tried to find out online and even using AI and it tells me to select the person tag, then select the photos you wish to remove, then right click and select remove the persons tag.. EXCEPT there is NO option for this. The only option i can see is if I select them 1 at a time and remove the people tag from the Image Tag. If I select multible clips it shows no Image tags.   So under People tag I select the person, I then notice many photos does not contain this person so i wish to select them all and delete the person tag from them.. HOW ???   Please help so fustrating.

Ich habe auf meinem MacBook Pro M3 Max bisher adobe Photoshop Elements Editor am Laufen gehabt. Nun kam das UpDate von Apple auf MacOs 26 Tahoe...und nix geht mehr!! Ich bekomme folgende Fehlermeldung:   [Mod: Moved to the Photoshop Elements forum]  

Hi, like may people I've been caught by the upgrade to Tahoe of my Mac so that PSE 21 no longer loads. I''m not sure if pressing on with Elements is the right thing for me but I had over 120k photos all carefully tagged, so in the short term I was loading the trial of 2026 to see what that was like. Unfortunately I'm getting an error when I try to convert my catalog. The message tells me to fix the error (no description) in the original software but obviously I can't do that. Has anyone encountered (and solved!) a similar issue?
