Photoshop Elements

Why does the contrast and sharpening  of an image increase when I resize a processed image? For example I have a file that is 4165 x 3087 pixels per inch that I have reduced to 1400 x 1038 pixels per inch that the contrast and sharpening have increased so  mush to really damage the quality.

I've been trying to create a greeting card in Photoshop elements 10.  I keep getting the message "Valid size not available for this creation.  I'm using a MacBook pro.

My PC crashed so I had to buy a new one. Had all my pictures on a separate disk. But had to reinstall Photoshop. So, how do I retrive my tags for all the pictures for the backup of organizer 14 and in to organizer 2023?

(Trying to contact Help.) Prior to thsi, I have imported several thousand pics, no problem to PS Elements 2021. Now, the photos are importing ok but going into a duplicate folder. I can tag and edit fine. My photos on the PC are still intact. (I took to using external drive after discovering the problem.) The problem comes when I try to move the photos to the original folder. (On the PC and in Elements, they are identified by folders for each year.) Photos remain ok in PSE. Sometimes, the photos disappear from the PC (or external drive) folder. Sometimes, even from OneDrive, tho I found them there in the deleted folder. Other times, duplicate photos appear (on the PC/external) with the additional identifier of -1. The last time I tried, in PSE when I moved them to the original folder, I found them with the -1 addition. I can't delete (from PSE) and re-import because it says they are already there. I am getting very frustrated. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I bought photoshop elements 2023 online and downloaded it.  Used it for a while today, and now it won't load.  What happened?

Hi,I have installed PS Elements Organizer 2023 on a Mac Mini M1 so that two Mac user accounts would be able to use it. I want to create one catalog that can be shared between both user accounts on this Mac. Photos are all contained on a Synology NAS which both Mac user accounts can access without issue. I have attached a external drive to the Mac Mini on which I have created an Elements catalog by the the first MAC user account. All looks good from this user's perspective, i.e. the catalog is connected to the photos on the NAS, they are all online. However the second Mac user account is experiencing a problem. The second user can open the Elements catalog on the external drive without issue and see the folder/thumbnails. The problem encountered is that all all folders/thumbnails in this catalog are showing as "Offline Media".In the screen shot it shows that NAS volume is "Offline" and it cannot be reconnected. In fact that volume is online and this user can access it properly. It seems

Hi,since today I have a problem with my Photoshop Elements. The program hangs on the "save" command. It was working before, the problem started today. I've already tried opening other and new files, restarting the computer and reinstalling the program. Still the same problem. I didn't change anything in the settings of the computer, I didn't install any other programs or plugins. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing the error and how to fix it?

I use Windows 11.  I also use OneDrive and have the backup turned on for my pictures folder.  I keep a copy of the photos, 78gig, on my PC by choosing the "Always keep on device" option in OneDrive. Will Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer work with this setup?  I would assume it just sees it as the Pictures folder and uses the files in it? I use the OneDrive photo upload feature on my iPhone as well, which uploades photos to the cloud and back down to the PC. Thanks for any advice!

When I choose a network drive as custom location for my Catalog in Elements Organizer 2022 on Windows 10, it gives me a warning that it's not recommended, but allows me to click 'yes' to change to the network location.  However, even after clicking 'yes', it does not actually change to the network location.  I tried this in Elements Organizer 11 and it changed to the network location without any issues.  This appears to be a bug in Elements Organizer 2022.  Has anyone else had this issue?

Hello!Sometimes the GPS data is not displayed and the pictures are not pinned. The coordinates are available in the file properties of Windows and are also correctly displayed by the Windows Photo app and the geosetter. It works for some pictures, but not for some, although the camera is the same (Huawei Mate 10 mobile phone).I add 2 examples in the attachment.How can the problem be solved?Thank you so much!Andy

  Is it possible to open a DNG RAW file and save the edited file as a 16 bit file with an Adobe RGB color profile using Elements 2022?

I have been trying to make this cd cover with AudioLabel app. and on the front of the cover at the top right I circled where that line which should be the color gold keeps printing out brown. Could it be picking up the color of the photo on the left for some reason? I never had this one happen before. Help?

I have some old photos from the 1970s and 1980s that were taken before digital cameras were invented.  I scanned them into a computer in 2008-2009 and corrected their orientation at that time in Windows. When I uploaded them to my new computer which uses Windows 11, the orientation was wrong again.  It seems I can fix this using PE 2022, but is there any way I can correct the scanned photo file either through PE or Windows, so that the orientation remains fixed?  I would like a "clean" jpeg file that will keep any changes made so that the photos will be the same, whether viewed in Windows or PE. I hope this question makes sense.  I have little knowledge of the more intricate workings of either Windows or PE. Thanks so much for any and all help!

I just purchased PS Elements 2023 after using PSE 11 for many years, and I was hoping to find new useful tools additional to the ones I already knew. But instead , PSE 2023 seems to have rather less than more. Especially one tool is missing: In the past I loved the photomerge function "style match" and used it quite often. Now it seems to be removed from PSE. Really? Why should adobe discontinue a working functionality? Maybe I am wrong, and someone can help me find the tool (maybe renamed?) or show me a workaround to achieve the same effect? Style match was a rather complex function, transferring not only color schemes from one Image to another but also, contrast/clarity and other style characteristics - something you cannot do easily by hand. I wonder whether it was removed because too few people used it or because adobe wants to force its customers to move to another adobe product, preferably a subscription, like they did with Lightroom...After all a very disappointing experience!&n

Seit mehreren Jahren erstelle ich mit Photoshop Elements jeweils Kalender. Nunmehr beginnt im Kalender der erste Wochentag mit einem Sonntag. Davor die Jahre war es immer Montag. Hat jemand eine Idee, wie man dieses wieder ändern kann? Gruß Cord

HELP... I am currently running PSE 2019 on a Windows 10 PC. Got a new computer. Need to transfer over 45,000 photos organized into albums and with keyword tags to the new computer. Trying to backup the catalog to an external drive that has plenty of storage. Multiple attempts to back up gives me an list of hundreds of files with a .xmp, .json, or .jpg extension. I also get a file that that is titled catalog.buc but not a catalog.tly file. I have reconnected all missing files, repaired the catelog even though it did not need a repair, and optimized the catalog.  I am at my wits end and have spent more time than this should take! How can I successfully get the old catalog onto my new computer with all the keywords and albums intact? Please help!

Nach der Installation von Elements 2023 und Übernahme des Kataloges aus Elements 2019 erscheint die Darstellung der Bilder im Katalog hell grau bzw. dunkelgrau. Ich kann aber nicht ergründen warum manche Bilder hellgrau und manche Bilder dunkelgrau sind.Außerdem sind aus meinen Projekten in Premiere Elements die Bilder in den Videocollagen verschwunden (offline) obwohl sie im Katalog vorhanden sind. Sobald ich die Collagen neu erstelle werden einige Bilder nicht dargestellt. Funktioniert sobald ich im Katalog eine Kopie erstelle und die übernehme.
