Photoshop Elements

Many of my photos are now showing as missing with check in the corner. How to get them back?

I've somehow lost the bottom panel in my window.I could see how to get the right side panel back, but not the bottom one.  Tried a few things, which mostly just made it vanish with no way to bring itback. It's where you get the thumbnails of all the tabs down there.  CAn someone tell me how you get it back please?  Thanks.

Hi, I'm very new to Elements 2025. I noticed the Cloud sync was auto activated and syncing images I do not want in the Cloud, I changed the preferences to stop Cloud sync but the Cloud usage still reports 2.6 Gb used of 5Gb. How can I clear this usage and be sure nothing is in the Cloud? Please see attached image. Thank You

Can camera raw be installed in PSE 2024 and if so how?

Hi AllFor some reason the Updates is ghosted out in the Help drop down. How to I activate this option. I have checked Preferences but nothing there changes what I see. Many Thanks

Been using Elements 8 for years. Was offered upgrade to 2025 for $79.  Did so but I don't have all the 'options' that tutorial videos show.   Here is a screenshot -  (No AI or 'distractions' toolbar)  DISAPOINTED!!!

I need to use Gotham font type but it not listed as an option. How can I get this font?

I am running Elements 2024 under Windows 11 and am going through a large number of scanned slides. I import them in batches e.g. 2000 - 2024, 2015 - 2019 etc. Each batch has its own catalogue. I then create yearly albums within each batch. This allows me to work with one year at a time. I select People and name the faces that appear there. This helps me with tagging individuals, however, sometimes a scanned image will have a face which has not been recognised and as such does not have a name. Can I ask the program in retrospect to scan that image (face) which I can then name. John McWilliam

I want to get the current brush tool nameI'm not referring to this methodfunction getTool(){ var ref = new ActionReference(); ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("capp"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") ); var cTool = typeIDToStringID(executeActionGet(ref).getEnumerationType(stringIDToTypeID('tool'))); return cTool; } But it is through brush attributes that we can determine whether he does not have tools or whether he has smudging or eraser toolsThis is very important to me. Of course, selecting the user and then obtaining the tool can also yield what kind of tool it is, but it is not easy to use because a paintbrush without a tool will be used with the current tool, which is not suitableThanks for your help

I have a lot of legacy photos on my Mac that were imported to PSE25 when I installed it. At first, they all displayed just fine. Then, after updating the operating system, they stopped loading. I get the Recopnnect Missing File screen but, when I do reconnect the file I get an error that the file already exists in the catalogue.  At this point the photo is on my screen and I can expand it to full screen. However, if I try to edit the photo, I get a disk error message. Photos imported since I updated the OS work just fine. I have a Macbook Pro and am running Sequoia version 15.5. which is the latest version. Any ideas on how I can repair the link to my photos/files? Right now I'm using PSE23 for my 'legacy' files where they display just fine and are editable. But this is a really clunky solution. I'd rather be doing everything under PSE25.

Bonjour, j'ai Photoshop Elements 2025. Il se ferme automatiquement et à chaque ouverture il me demande mon e-mail, un code sms et un mot de passe. C'est très pénible d'avoir un logiciel qui se ferme tout seul. Je l'ai désinstallé et réinstallé mais ça n'a rien changé. Je n'obtient aucune réponse satisfaisante du chat. Je vous remercie (je suis sur PC windows 11, ordi neuf donc non saturé)

Have used Organizer for 20 years.  For some weird reason, suddenly have over 700 pictures that cannot be linked to the files.  I think they were inexplicably sent to Recycle Bin, so I have restored all of these to a file, which I have tried in Pictures and on Desktop, but still the pictures will not link.  Any adice please?  Using the latest PSE.  Thanks.

I had Adobe PS Elements 2024 on two computers. Recently I erased and sold one computer and didn't know I was supposed  to Sign-out of the app first - I just erased it and sold it. Then I went to install the app on the replacement computer and it won't take it as I already have two activations. Now, the computer was erased before it was sold, so there is no way the app is running on it or it is active.   I signed into my Adobe account and tried to Manage my Devices, except that it tells me that I have No Activations!! So I can't even de-activate the erased computer there. One part of Adobe System software says "Too many activations" and the other says "No activations". Wouldn't it be nice if they actually "talked" to each other...what the heck?     I then spent nearly two hours on-line chatting with a support agent who I even let remotely access my computer, and he could not fix it. Deleted my program. Told me to buy the new version, offering me a whopping 20% discou

I go to People, unnamed.  I select a face and "add name."  I enter a name or verify a name that has already been applied.  When I hit the check mark, the screen usually reverts to the empty People screen, and any scrolling down I have done is gone.  Usually, I have to hit "Places" then "People" to continue.  This strange programming behavior has been a problem for every edition of PSE I have used.  Is there a way for me to communicate my concern to those responsible for PSE programming?

This used to work fine on images with 16 Bit Colour Depth in PSE22 but sadly not on PSE25! No solution apparently except to downgrade image to 8bit. This is disappointing considering it worked in PSE22 which I used previously. A performance regression is not what you'd expect after paying for an upgrade! Looks like could be my last upgrade, unless something is done about it!

In Enhance>Change Object Color, how does one apply the selection to just the current layer? The option pops up in the lower left corner when one selects the Color Picker "Change Color to", but it cannot be modified.  

Bonjour,Je souhaite supprimer la synchronisation automatique des médias de mon catalogue sur adobe photoshop elements 2025 organiseur. Pour cela, dans la section "Synchronisation autimatique" du menu Préférences, je décoche les cases "Photos" et "Vidéos". Toutefois, mes préférences ne se sauvegardent pas : quand je reviens dans cette section, les cases "Photos" et "Vidéos" sont toujours cochées.Comment puis-je résoudre se problème ?Bien sincèrement.Frédéric Noble

My program stopped functioning.  I have uninstalled the program and am now trying to reinstall it but get the message some items could not be installed successfully.  The error code link does not work so I cannot be more specific.I have tried to reinstall multiple times.  What happens is if I try to open a ".PSD" file the program crashes.  Same if I click on .psd file and try to open it directly.Worked one day then poof program stopped functioning.  Several theorys from tech but all followed by they cannot help me with that, they are not trained in that.....  I have even run the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool with no success.    

HELP!!! HI Guys, I suddenly CAN NOT save my files in Photoshop Elements 14.1. It was fine last night, but tonight it will NOT SAVE or SAVE AS. After trying various things, I uninstalled PSE 14 & reinstalledfrom my disc. This has made NO differance. Would appreciate any help, as I am in the middle of editing my first wedding photo's, so NOT good timing. All other editing elements seem to be working fine, as does my NIK plug-in software.It's VERY odd, as it's been fine up to now. I have had PSE 14 for about 4 years now & it's been working fine!!

I purchased a license to Photoshop Elements 13 a long time ago under a perpetual license rather than under a subscription.   For some reason now, when I launch it, I get a message saying that the serial number is already in use by the maximum allowed compuers and that I need to deactivate another computer to use this product.  However, since the last time I used it, old PC malfunctioned so I am unable to sign out of the program on it.  Nobody at abobe seems to know how to manually disengage the program so that I can use it on my new PC.  I've tried all the thing they did suggest and all they did was want to sign me up for one of their subscriptions.  Is there any way around this problem?  I would think that if Adobe thinks it's been activated on another PC, they ought to be able to disactivate it.  But all I seem to get when I call is customer service people and not someone in technical support.  Any help would be appreciated.

When I download a jpg, the small home screen comes up and I get nowhere from there.  I have to open Photoshop Elements Editor, then do an 'open' from there, go to my downloads folder and click on the image.  Why?  It's such a hassle.  What am I doing wrong?  How should I be doing this?

Is there no way to continue editing in Guided Mode after doing one edit?  I can't even fathomn why that is not an option.  The only options given are continue editing in Basic or Advanced.  I do all my edits in Guided Mode.  I currenlty am using Elements 11 and I can do several edits very quickly in Guided Mode.  Plus, when I finish an edit I am returned to the Guided Mode home and the image i am working on shows as a small  image in the Show Open Files area on the bottom.  Clicking on that image does not enlarge it to fill the screen.  This is so counterproductive.  It quadruples the number of mouse clicks needed to edit a photo.

Warum kann man den Dateinamen und das Dateiformat nicht mehr vorher in den Einstellungen festlegen? Das war vorher machbar und nun muss man jedesmal diese Daten anpassen.

I find that I often change lighting, color and balance settings to the same levels.  I would like to create a custom setting for that so that I can make all the enhancements with a single button.  Any help is appreciated.  I am using 2025 Photoshop Elements.   Thanks

I decided to reinstall PSE14 after giving up the subscription based plan (Photography). The installation rejected my serial  number and said to contact customer support. Customer Support guy checked my records and says the product is no longer supported. I said I do not  need support. Why can't I use a product I purchased only 6 years ago. He advised me to upgrade. I just cancelled my plan as I seldom use it. I just need some basic photo editing.  I think this is totally dishonest of Adobe if it is a policy.  I've given my mobile number so their senior can call me. I'm not holding my breath. Totally disappointed.
