Photoshop Elements

After decades of  using PSE due to the size of my library I need to change where I store my files. Of course moving all files to an external, which I should have done yrs ago (old school). I am starting with a blank slate on PSE 2025 with a new Mac M4. I not sure what are the right questions to ask. Do I need to have PSE installed on the drive which I will be using? How do I designate watched folders? Do I need to move, or copy, my entire "pictures" folder to the external? And how do I deal with "Photos", do I combine it with "Pictures"?  I have a recent Catalog BU (1TB) on the drive. Hoping that I have given the right amount of info for best suggestions on my best step forward. Sorry for the can of worms. Thank you for your patience and consideration.

On Elements 15 there was a feature called Photo Emerge. I can't find it on Elements 25. 

There are numerous posts about the font size of previous versions being too small. I have tried the suggestions and found that I can increase the font size using Edit/Preferences/Display & Cursors and changing the UI Scale Factor. However, the font is so large that the tools run off the screen (example attached). It would be nice if the scaling factor had some other options (like 125%, 150%, etc.). I thought the font size in Elements 2024 was a little small but found it useable. Why is the font size in Elements 2025 even smaller? Samples attached. How can I get the 2025 verion font sizes the same as the 2024 version?

Hi,I have thousands og photos with captions. I use Organizer version 19.  In earlier versions of Elements those were wisely placed in the bottom.Now, they are place up more or less in the middle of the photos disturbing the experience of the photo.Can I do something in settings ? Are this issue solve in a newer version ?Best RegardsFinn 

Having purchased a new desktop computer and having a photo project pending, I purchased a new copy of Photoshop Elements 2025 (PSE). This is at least the ninth version I have purchased, starting back with PSE 10. I am beginning to regret my purchase. I found the installation program to be badly behaved. I recently copied my photo libary from the default Windows 11 location on my primary C: drive to a separate data drive. I haven't deleted the photos from the C: drive yet, pending confiormation tnat everything got transferred. The program tried to load both drives into the catalog. I stopped that, but after seeing a bunch of music files appearing in the download progress window I stopped the process. I found that PSE had also located and loaded into the catalog all of my music files up to the point that I stopped the process. Now, I see folders that are clearly music files. I don't want music files in PSE. I have iTunes for that. I can delete them from the catalog, but I can c

Hello, asking for community help as live chat agents have been no help. My copy of PSE12 is stuck in a log in loop. I am aware this is a very old version of PSE, but I am too poor to afford to upgrade, or I would. I am very low income and use PSE12 for graphic editing. I absolutely need this program.  I correctly assumed the log in loop was due to having too many activated devices, so was able to get my old, failing BIOS, physically damaged laptop to work long enough to open the program and sign out / permanently deactive PSE12, thus freeing up a "slot" for my newer device, which is just a cheap functioning laptop.  However, when attempting to install and sign in on this device, I am still encountering the log in loop. I follow the link, I sign in, and I still cannot access my product.  Granted, I cannot access the other pc that its on at all, so it will permanently be stuck on one old laptop that is completely inoperable and extremely damaged, but I should sti

Hello, I installed and looked at the trial versions of Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements 2020. I decided to to upgrade at this time. I uninstalled Premiere Elements using Revo Uninstaller. But when I went to uninstall Photoshop Elements, there was no listing inRevo or in the Programs and Features in windows. I am running Windows 10 Home. Is there any cleanup tool or any way to reinstate the add/remove entry. Thank you,Kevin

Hello. I am a Pixelmator Pro user. I make illustrations/posters. I have been using Photopea to drop my images into frame/scene mockups that have a smart objects (drop image here), however, I downloaded a trial of Photoshop and installed a batch plugin which did lots of mockups very quickly rather than one by one which is extremely laborious. I don't need to the full CC suite for purely mockups and just saw Adobe Photoshop Elements on the Adobe website. I was just wondering if I would be able to import the PSD mockups I have into it and also does it support third party plugins? I couldn't find anything about it online. Apologies if these are silly questions, but I'm new to this ecosystem. Thanks in advance.   [Mod: Moved to the Photoshop Elements forum]

Hallo,ich habe vor einem Jahr meine Hardware aufgerüstet, da konnte ich noch problemlos mein Photoshop Elements 2024 aktivieren. Nun musste ich wegen defekt, nochmals Mainboard und CPU tauschen. Nun kann ich das Programm nicht mehr aktiviern. Es kommt die Fehlermeldung "Die Seriennummer.... wird bereits von der maximalenn Anzahl von Computer verwendet". Das Programm ist aber nur auf diesem PC installiert. Ich habe mich schon abgemeldet und wieder angemeldet, aber das Problem bleibt.Windows und Office konnte ich ohne Probleme neu aktiviern. Was kann ich tun?Im Voraus vielen, vielen Dank für Euere Bemühungen und schöne GrüßePeter

purchased a boxed edition and installed on a new Dell w/ windows 10.  All updated and running correctly.Today, Elements Organizer informed me it didn't have a valid serial number.  I retrieved the redemption code from the package, entered it and received a serial number.  When I entered it into the editor, it informed me that "This serial number is not valid for Adobe Premiere Elements 2020".  What's wrong?FrustratedinTN

Bonjour. J'ai Photoshop Elements 2023, licence perpétuelle. Depuis quelques jours le menu Transformation (sous-menu de Image) est grisé. Fonction dont je me sers très souvent. Quelle solution ???   [Moderator: Moved to the appropirate Photoshop Elements forum]

I am using Photoshop Elements 2023 and working in picture packages with which  I am quite familiar.  However,  lately after I choose the source and hit OK only some of the photos remain in the layout.  What can I do to clean up or start over?

Wie kann ich in Photoshop-Elements 2025 Dateien mit dem Format webP öffnen? Finde es nicht unter den vorhandenen Formaten

Hi anyone,I'm using Photoshop Elements organizer 2018. Since some time it's impossible to add new files to the catalogue.Maybe because the disk where I file all original photo's is full.I want to replace all photo's to a new, different, portable disc.And I want to connect it with the current existing catalogue on the same disk it is now saved.What is the best way to get the original files and the catalogue existed so all metadata that I added to every picture (like tags, maps, etc) are kept. And I can use the catalogue again as I used to do.Please give me some helpful answer on this matter.  

After all these many years (15+) I'm now being asked to sign-in each times I open PSE - why? 

I have a text box over an image in Photoshop Elements. I want the paragraph text typed in  over the photo  to be Left AND Right justified. What I no see is Left or RightI or centered. I see no option to do both L and R justification. Is this possible?

I am hoping someone can help. I flattened an image by saving it to jpeg and not saving a PSD file. How do I separate the images? It is a background image and a single top layer. I nolonger have the orginal photos to work with.

1) Je veux supprimer de mon compte Adobe définitivement une adresse principale désuète.2) Je suis incapable de me brancher à mon application, je reçois un message comme quoi je ne suis pas brancher sur Internet. Lorsque j'arrive à me brancher, si je quitte l'application, je dois redonner mes informations (courriel, mot de passe) et 9/10 je n'arrive plus à me brancher.

J'ai Photoshop Elements 7.0.1 en français et je ne l'ai pas utilisé depuis plusieurs années. Je tente désespérément de transformer une photo couleur en sépia et je n'y arrive pas - je ne me souviens plus comment je faisais. J'ai consulté plein de pages web et tutoriels, mais on m'indique des façons ou des chemins vers des menus que je ne trouve pas dans mon logiciel. Peut-on me donner une façon simple en pas en pas pour faire ça? Merci à l'avance.

We are a camera store, I'm posting this question for one of our customers. He has bought a Sony RX100 VII A (RX100M7A) from us. The "A" is in the name because this is a slightly updated version of the RX100 VII - in order to comply with EU regulations determining that all electronic devices that can be charged with a USB-cable can only use a USB-C port, Sony chose to deactivate USB-charging in the RX100 VII, which only has a USB-A(I think) port. This updated version is noted as the RX100M7A, which you can also see in the EXIF information of its photos. The customer finds that he can't open RAW files in Adobe Photoshop Elements 2025 (Windows 11), despite having updated Elements, reinstalled it, and updated Camera Raw. But, we've tried opening a RAW file from his camera here (Photoshop/Lightroom with Camera Raw 17.4.1, Windows 10) and had no problems. Neither did a Sony representative who tried opening the same RAW file in Lightroom on Mac. I've speculated that the problem is t

Trying to reinstall photoshop elements 2121 on new computer. Bought it from Best Buy on 9/26.21. Serial number on box and the receipt is ADB00PH191600695724 which is obviously not the format Adobe wants. Box also has a barcode which says 'scan to activate product'. Scan doesn't woke. Says not recognized.  Don't remember registering this with Adobe to begin with.  How can I get this loaded on my new computer? Thanks 

I reinstalled both having issues with crashing. I then read that 2025 version you buy for 3 years then it will stop working. Is adobe doing this to older versions of photoshop elements so that i am forced to update? I should be able to keep using a program that I bought for more years then just 2 (like with the 2023 version. Has anyone else had this issue? 

Dovrei reinstallare il programma Adobe Photoshop Elements 15.0 (20160905.m.97630) x 64 sul mio computer (Windows 11). Qualcuno può aiutarmi, visto che sul sito ADOBE non lo hanno fatto in quanto mi hanno scritto che non offrono più supporto per PhotoShop Elements 15GrazieRaffaele Arnone

Hi,I have a valid license for Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 installed on two computers. Unfortunately, one of those computers was destroyed and I no longer have access to it.Now I'm trying to activate the software on a new computer, but I'm getting a message that the license has reached the maximum number of activations.Since I can't deactivate it on the broken machine, is there any way Adobe can manually reset the activation or remove the old device from my license?
