Photoshop Elements

I have opened up an existing PSD file I created in an older version of Photoshop Essentials. I can add text to the image but the Layer option in the Windows pull down menu is greyed out (as are many other options). I can select Layers on the image but no Layers tab shows up at the top right of the program area. Is there something I need to do to get this work?

how can I retrieve my serial number for photoshop elements 15 I have changed my computer and lost my serial number.

I got out my old Elements 12 discs to install on my Mac Pro running Mojave. The validation step says "Connect to the internet" and obviously I am. How do I fix this? Secondly, I attempted to register my serial on my profile and it said my serial is already in use!! How do I get this old copy working again? I can't afford the newest stuff (which is why I'm still using a Mac Pro on Mojave)!

I just upgraded from PSe v9 to v2022 on Mac.  How do I set the blank workspace to transparent, so I can see all the files and folders underneath?  This is NOT about transparent backgrounds in images.  The old v9 did this by default.  If I launch PSe 2022 with no images, I get the whole screen covered with a grey workspace.  Annoying!

I have an old photoshop elements 10 that will not work on my new Imac24. Is i possible to upgrade, or do I need to get a new license

Can you mask part of the image when making changes in RAW files? Often I want to make changes to just part of the image - say to everything but faces in the photo. 

I'm runing Windows 10 Home on an HP Laptop - Bridge 12 0 1 246 and have installed PS, PSE 2022, PSE 2021 & PSE 2020 and Bridge 2020, 2021 & 2022. 1.  If I click once on a photo in Bridge it automatically opens in PS (which I do not want).  How do I stop this behavior of automatically opening PS (or any other program)?  I want to "view" my photos in the pre-installed Windows "Photo" program.  If I want to edit the photo, I want to specifically choose one of my PS or PSE programs with which to edit the photo.  I do not want the photos to ever automatically open in a PS or PSE Editor with a single or even a double click.2.  If I R-click to choose a program with which to open the photo I am only given PS or PSE 2020.  I'm not even given a "Browse for other options" choice. If I choose "Edit" > "Preferences" > "File Type Associations" and choose "Browse", it wants me to choose one in my (C:).  I wish to add the choice of P

Hi. I have bought Photoshop Elements 13 on a disc and have been using it for several years. I have it activated on two computers. A couple of weeks ago a window showed up every time I opened the program. The window said that program has been activated for more than two computers and that I need to deactivate another computer in order to run the program on this computer. I have not activated the program on another computer. I could still use the program but now I can't use the program anymore because of this. How do I deactivate the program on other computers if I don't know which computer it is? I have the disc and the serial number. Previous post on the forum says that you should be able to fix things similar to this if you go to the help menu but I can't find any way to go to the help menu. The windows pops up when I start the program and I can't access the program to change the settings of the program.

I have a mix of 12,000 photos and Videos residing on OneDrive.  (1TB storage with Office365).When I use the trial version of Organizer (that comes with Elements 2022) - it fails after about 50% of the way through a bulk import.  (I have purchased Elements but not applied key yet as I wanted to be sure all was working ok).Thumbnails appear for those items processed but when I try again (and again...) to run the bulk import - it just keeps either hanging or Organizer screen stops altogether and it goes back to the initial splash screen that Elements displays (where organizer can be started from initially).I tried turning off AntiVirus and stopping facial recognition scanning - but still hangs/fails.System is a Windows 11 laptop with i9, 32GB RAM and 2TB SSD.Windows fully up to date.Any help greatly appreciated.ThanksTony

Wie erhalte ich eine Fallnummer zur Übertragung einer Lizenz?

I have read that PS CC has a swirly bokeh feature, but Elements does not. Anyone know how to make this Bokeh?

I just installed PSE 2022. All the Layers options are grayed out. Image is 8 bits.

Hello all,I'm using PSE 2022. Is there a possibility to search for freely selectable IPTC keywords? The PSE menu <Search>  <Details (metadata)> offers a search criteria "Keyword-Tags", which only provides a list of all the Tags I've defined before.Best regards, Jürgen  

I have a licenced copy of Elements 14 (I verified this on my Adobe account).  Now when I start it up, I get a screen telling me that my "Free Trial" has expired.  There is no free trial!  I bought and paid for this product. How do I get around this? Thanks

I have a large number of files to convert from jpg to Tiff format.So I first tested using Photoshop Elements (2021) and Adobe Bridge. My question is with regards to these two fields: Document Type: TIFF imagePackage: Adobe Photoshop Elements 19.0 (Macintosh)File Size: 19.44 MBDimensions : 3005 x 2259Dimensions (in inches) 41.7" x 31.4"Resolution 72 ppiBit Depth: 8Color Mode: RGBColour Profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1----------------------------------------------Document Type : TIFF imagePackage: Adobe Bridge 2022 (Macintosh)File Size: 19.45 MBDimensions : 3005 x 2259Dimensions (in inches) 10.0" x 7.5"Resolution 300 ppiBit Depth: 8Color Mode: RGBColour Profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1  The question is, how come one says:10.0" x 7.5" at 300 ppiand the other says41.7" x 31.4" at 72 ppi for the same document?If someone can just explain what this means. Thanks.   

I upgraded from PSE9 to PSE 2022.  I'd like to convert my PSE9 catalog, but the catalog manager can't find the catalog file.  I'm sure the catalog.pse9db is on my system (see attached screen shot).  What am I doing wrong? Thanks,Jon.

Inwisselcode en serienummer zijn correct, maar zodra de computer zegt van nu download : gebeurd er niets.Versie Windows :10

Nach dem Wechsel der Hardware nach einem defekt lässt sich Photoshopelements nicht wieder aktivieren. Zuerst wurde der Fehler ausgegeben das die Maximale anzahl der Installationen überschritten ist, eine Deaktivierung ist direkt nicht möglich da die Hardware defekt ist, eine Option Photoshop Elements  über die Adobe ID zu deaktivieren gibt es nicht.Nach mehrmahligen probieren wird inzwischen ein Problem mit der Seriennummer gemeldet. Das Produkt ist unter meiner AdobeID- registriert. VGRainer Holland

This must be simple but I just can't figure it out.   I'm making an instruction sheet illustration and have steps (step 1, step 2, etc.) for the user to follow. At the end of each step I need to insert an arrow pointing to a line. How do I insert, or type, an arrow into the line of text? For example, "Step 1, fold paper on this line" with an "up" arrow at the end of that sentence pointing to the line.  Thnaks in advance.
