I recently replaced a Microsoft Surface laptop with the same. I'm attempting to reload Photoshop Elements 2023 (purchased in 2022) to the new computer. To reload, I got to my app's and it states shows "install" as the status. I click that link which sends me to my account and I use click "download" icon, then go to my dowload files and activate the executable file. Unfortunately, each time, I get an error (183) after it gets to about 90% and it won't complete. 1. Does anyone have any suggestions to solve the issue. Note that when I review ethe 183 error on Adobe's site, my software and issue do not come up. 2. Does anyone know how to comunicate with a qualified human at Adobe with out being extorted for $29 to have a conversation about an install issue for a purchased Adobe product? AI is not helpful.
PSE 20121 Organizer has a serious printing bug. I am trying to print to Canon 4x6" glossy photo paper. In PSE2021 it's not possible to print to this size paper correctly - white bands are left at the right and bottom of the printed photo. In the Organizer do File -> Print and set up for 4x6 printing:Printer SettingsPaper Type: Photo Paper Plus Glossy IIPrint Quality: HighTray: cassetteSelect paper size4" x 6" 10x15cmSelect type of printIndividual printsSelect Print Size4" x 6"Crop to fit: checked This will fail to print correctly - it leaves a white band at the bottom and right of the printed photo Press More Options -> Custom Print Size And you see that PSE2021 cannot print to 4"x6". It wants to print to 5.69" x 3.50". If you try to enter the correct values (4"x 6") PSE complains "The value you've entered is outside the range (0.20 … 5.69 ). The closest valid value will be used." This bug is not present in PSE2020 which prints correctly and Mo
Dear community,Although I have a strong laptop (AMD Ryzen 9 + NVIDIA GPU), the Organizer is very slow when selecting a different star rating. I do have 3.800 foto's in the directory I'm woring in, but it should no take that much time to switch views. How can I improve ? Thanks for your advice !

I created this PDF about PSE 2026- it's enough to get you started (It's link to the file in my dropbox)https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ymqup7fv1zb3u9e4o7fxo/pse-2026.pdf?rlkey=8lrkil0h9t9yhinev9t6pf6rw&st=s37sw6pk&dl=0
Is the size of the font in the menus and gui fixed or can it be made larger? If it can be enlarged, how. Thanks!
New users are given 25 Generative credits to use with new AI features found in PSE 2026. I figure many users will want to "goof around with it" to see what it is all about. Subscribers to Photoshop get 250 each monthThere is no place you can go to buy just more Generative Credits.You have to purchase a FireFly plan (A subscription) to get more credits.https://www.adobe.com/products/firefly/landpa.html?sdid=TKZTL5V8&mv=search&mv2=paidsearch&ef_id=Cj0KCQjwovPGBhDxARIsAFhgkwS1Z8hVYRB24ZXvcDsJ5Rdi8mipgtBWf3y3GPAMkjv-r_pesaifCFkaAk4UEALw_wcB:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!3085!3!771815140307!e!!g!!adobe%20firefly!22962953185!187145233360&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22962953185&gclid=Cj0KCQjwovPGBhDxARIsAFhgkwS1Z8hVYRB24ZXvcDsJ5Rdi8mipgtBWf3y3GPAMkjv-r_pesaifCFkaAk4UEALw_wcBIve been using Generative credits in Photoshop for quite some time now- the most I have ever used was 50 one month.
One of the bigger more noticable changes to the program is the appearance of Adobe Express Templates when you use the Create button. You may notice templates in Adobe Express with "crowns" in the lower right corner: Those are "premium" templates--- users of the free version of Adobe Express cannot access those. To access thos templates requires a subscription. I have been subscribing to Photoshope for a while now and have access to all premium features....Non subscribers to Adobe Express: You have access to only 100,000+ templates. See that's funny because that's a lot.

I am using Photoshop Elements 2024 on a PC with windows 10. It did it again! Freezing. Nothing works I just spent 30 minutes cuting, pasting and distorting a picture I wanted to add to another picture. It was perfectly placed. Now all I have to do is erase the overhanging spots I don't want. A simple job. Then- bang! the anoying boom again (no real sound except my curseing). Everything froze again! again! again!. I am tired of the software freezing, preventing me from finishing the creation and having to start over! I have to go to task manager to end action and start over. PE 2024 is the worse Elements I have ever bought. It is the worse with all the problems I have had with this software!
Hi everyone I'm posting on this forum here because i need help with the software i just bought and i can't find any support on the Adobe website... I subscribed, downloaded and installed Elements 2025. Same as with my older version of Elements 2015, I seem to have a graphic card problem (see screenshot attached). The pre-rendering window stays black when i play it. And when i try to render my edit, an error message appears "accelerated renderer error". I have Windows 10. Intel UHD 620 graphic card + Nvidia MX130. I updated both graphic cards. I downloaded the latest HECV and h.264 codecs i could find. Yet, when i try to edit .mp4 files from my Dji Mini Pro 4, the pre-rendering window always stays black and when i try to export the video there is always an error. What can I do to make it work and start editing my videos? Or is it possible to cancel the payment of the software and get a refund?I can't find any help anywhere and i find this issue pretty frustrating. An
After updating to Windows 11 and re-installing PSE 2021, when I want to open images in my folders, the thumbnails for NEF and PSD no longer show, but jpegs, DNGs and tifs do show.What's going on?
I have PSE 2021, but this happened in previous versions also. Everytime I switch from Expert to Guided or Quick, and switch back to Expert, ALL the pictures in the photo bin come up in work space. Then I have to minimize them again before I can go on. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Previously I would open a new blank file (8.5x11 300 dpi) and using the move tool, drag photos in and print multiple photos on a sheet of 8.5x11 photo paper. When I attempted to move a photo into the new filke, it was converted to a smart object thumbnail. I managed to find a way to disable the smart object default but now I still get a thumbnail when I try to move my cropped photo into the blank file. I don't want a thumbnail. I just want to move already resized photos into the blank file so I can print them. Please help.
PSE 2025 Organizer will not Auto Curate Nikon P950 NRW files. Both Organizer and Editor ACR (15.5.0.1595) recognize and display P950 NRW files but Organizer will not Auto Curate P950 NRW files. The list of Cameras supported by Camera Raw erroneously shows the P950 file format as NEF rather than NRW so this could be the problem for Auto Curate.
I have a new laptop with windows 11 pro. As I was not aware of compatability problems, I installed Adobe photoshop elements 11. After restarting the computer, windows didn't start again. I tried several options for restart but nothing works. I read about compatability issues between photoshop and windows 11 but this doesn't help me now.Can there be att way to start windows again?
Good afternoon community,I am having problems opening photos in webp format with photoshop elements 2024. I have installed the plugin from the adobe website but it doesn't work. Is there any way to work in this format with this version of phostoshop?
I'm unable to open webp files in Photoshop Elements v. 13.1. I see that (in a Program Files folder for Adobe, Elements 13 Organizer, Plug-Ins, File Formats) I have a file that I must have added at some point, WebPShop_0_3_0_Win_x64.8pi, but it isn't helping. Today I searched and found a forum recommendation for a download from https://github.com/fnordware/AdobeWebM#download. I tried it, and it has two versions of the file WebP.8bi, for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Photoshop. So an obvious question: how do I know which version I have? But then I simply copied one version into that same plugin folder and rebooted. When that didn't do the trick, I deleted it and copied the other version and rebooted. Still no good. So second question is what else I can do. Thank you,
I thought I posted about an hour ago but nothing shows. How long before a new post appears?
My original PSE 2021 has maintained my RAW files' Adobe RGB profile with the Edit/Color Setting set to "Always Optimize for Printing", until recently when I had to re-install it. Now it converts my RAW Adobe RGB files to sRGB. This, I assume, will degrade my image files, even if I convert back to Adobe RGB right after the ACR conversion. Question 1: is my assumption about degradation correct?Question 2: is there a way to avoid this degradation?Question 3: I know PSE 2024 does the same thing; how about PSE 2025?Question 4: why would Adobe dumb down PSE?
Apple released iOS 26.0 and macOS Tahoe yesterday (Sep 18, 2025). I have installed Tahoe on my 2022 MacBook Pro M2 and now cannot open my 2022 PSE apps (Organizer, Editor, etc). Is this a temporary situation until Adobe releases a patch or must I upgrade to a newer version of PSE? Fortunately I have an older iMac that can't be upgraded to macOS Tahoe so am still able to view my photos using PSE22 but I do need to have it on my Macbook too. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I recently bought a new Dell computer, running on Windows 11, and have been trying to run Photoshop Elements 2025 on it, along with a new Wacom Intuos Pro Medium 2025 tablet--the tablet seems to be working properly, but when I try to use it with Photoshop Elements 2025 I encounter two issues: either the pen pressure sensitivity doesn't work at all, or the cursor doesn't track/calibrate properly to where the pen is interacting with the tablet. The tracking/calibration problem seems to only occur in the canvas area as well. Also, both problems occur at the same time when running Photoshop. For example, if I try to use the brush or eraser tool on a canvas, at first the pen pressure won't work, then it will suddenly decide to turn on, but where the brush tool actually draws/makes brush marks is not where my cursor is on the canvas, then it will go back to the pen pressure not working. I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling both Photoshop Elements 2025 and the
Greetings, I purchased Elements 9 back in 2010. I have a new PC and need to re-download it. I contacted the live support for Adobe. They said it was an old product, and they sent me here to the forums to find the link. Can anyone help?
Hi We recently moved computers and as part of that moved over all our photos, unfortunately we did this in Windows rather than Adobe.This did mean we could put them in a better folder e.g. C:/Photos (they are then sorted in a folder for each year) as over several years of moves in Adobe the catalog had ended up in C:/photos/Users/<username>/Pictures/Photos.If I want to put Elements on the new machine and recreate my Catalog with alll my Tags etc, then I think I will have to do the Catalog backup and restore in Elements, effectively duplicating the copy we already did. However I wanted to ask first in case there is any other option to point to the newly copied files.I still have the old machine with everything on it.Thanks
