Photoshop Elements

Recently I found that my beloved Photoshop Elements 13 (purchased in 2015) no longer opens after upgrade to Catalina.  I have now moved on to purchase Clip Studio Paint which serves my needs more accurately (graphic artist). However, I no longer have access to the many patterns and brushes that I created in Elements 11 & 13. I am disappointed in Adobe and even more disappointed that my own creations no longer exist. Is there some way to retrieve any of these things please?   [Moving from generic Start/Help forum to the specific Program forum...

After subscribing to Photoshop, I didn't uninstall PSE 9.0.  I'd like to uninstall it to gain space, but unsure if it is needed for Photoshop.  If I do uninstall it, do I need to deactivate (which used to be recommended), or simply download it from my Adobe Account if I want it later.

Photoshop elements 2021 installs but some functionality is not in the app, (hidden tools are not available,) etc.The install log contains the following lines:09/05/21 10:45:37:298 | [WARN] | 17932 | HDSetup | OOBEUtils | XMLParser | | OOBEUtils | 5632 | Failed to load xml C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Sync\application.xml. system error:209/05/21 10:45:37:298 | [ERROR] | 17932 | HDSetup | HDPIM | AMTConfig | | HDPIM | 5632 | Cannot load AMT config file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Sync\application.xml'09/05/21 10:45:37:299 | [ERROR] | 17932 | HDSetup | OOBEUtils | FileUtils | | OOBEUtils | 5632 | Source file does not exist in CopyFileFromSourceToDestination09/05/21 10:45:37:299 | [ERROR] | 17932 | HDSetup | HDPIM | AMTConfig | | HDPIM | 5632 | Unable to copy AMT config file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Sync\application.xml' to pcf folder 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\PCF\{COSY-4.3.45-32-ADBEADBEADBEADBEADBEA}.V7{}CoreSync-2.4.1-Win-GM.xml'

Photoshop Elements 14 and Windows 10.The program closed twice just as I was pasting something from one photo in Photoshop into another photo. First all 4 photos in the program just went blank, and after a short while the hole program closed down. I have never experienced something like that before, the program have always been very stable.Anybody knows what went on?

I am trying to create a graphic for a t-shirt. I can add a photo(in this case, a hamburger), but when I try to add text, I get a black box and the photo turns blue. What is going on? How do I add text above and below the photo without getting the stupid black box, and keep the original colors of the photo?

Hello, Some photos appear upside down in Organizer 2018.If you look at the photo directly in wondows explorer or if you open it in Elements editor it looks correct.This happens only in some photos in what seems to be a random pattern. I would say in about 5-10% of the imported pics. I have used the organizer since version 1 and have never experienced this wierd behavior before. Help will be much appreciated 

I upgraded from PSE 10 to PSE 2021. Now I have problems with saving the captions. I cannot see them by looking the details in the attributes oft the JPG in Windows 10 Explorer. After loading JPGs from my Olympus Camera E-M5 II into PSE the IPTC details shown in PSE are empty:   In Windows 10 Explorer I find in their details in attributes the IPTC the name: OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA.  After entering a caption in PSE and saving Metadata (CTLR+W) the description in PSE is filled: But in Windows 10 Explorer I read still OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA:  Doing the same under PSE 10 the caption is visuable in the details oft the attributes in Windows 10 Explorer:             How can I solve this problem in PSE 2021 ?

I am running Windows 10. I got a pop up in Photoshop Elements 13 that there is a 13.1 update available. So I download and apply the update and reboot.Afterwards I start Photoshop Elements app. Then a pop up on the screen starts that says the app as experienced a problem and will close.I then have to reinstall 13.0 to get it working again.

I use Photoshop elements 2018 and until last week everything has been fine.  But for no apparent reason when I now download photos from the SD card the photos no longer appear in the organiser. They do appear in windows explorer. I gathering that it's something quite simple but it's not obvious to me.

Beide Rechner haben die aktuelle WIN10 Version (automatische Updates eingestellt). Auf dem Laptop mit einer vor länger Zeit installierten Photoshop 2019 Version läuft alles problemlos. Auf dem anderen Rechner werden die gleichen RWL Dateien mit einer heute installierten Photoshop 2019 Version mit dem Hinweis, dass das Format von einer unbekannten Kamera sei nicht erkannt. Greift der Laptop direkt übers Netz auf den Tower zu kann er die RWL Dateien problemlos lösen. Wie kann ich das Problem lösen. Der Verweis auf Camera RAW war nicht hilfreich.Viele Grüße Hans-Peter 

I am attempting to use Photoshop Elements 2021 while loading pictures from photoshop elements 9 or 15 into PE 2021Organizer. No luck. Help

I am attempting to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 2019 for a client and am running into numerous problems:1) When I launch the Setup.exe file the Installer window that pops up is blank and nothing happens. If I try to close the installer window the words Undefined, just shows up and nothing happens, I have to exit the installer via Task Manager.2) I found other documentation that I needed to take the computer off of my companies domain for the installer window to display correctly. I did this and the installer window displayed correctly and I was able to install the software but, once I put the computer back on the domain Windows fails to boot and goes to recovery mode. Is there a different install package that I can use? 

BonjourMon catalogue est énorme et je souhaite le découper en plusieurs catalogues, sans perdre étiquettes et mots clés. 

Wird Photoshop Elements 2021 auch irgendwann mal Nativ auf dem M1 laufen ? Bei einem Kaufpreis von über Hundert Euro erwarte ich schon das Adobe hier was entwickelt.

Hi first time posting here just wondering if anyone has/ had an issue where you select radial blur and zoom blur that it stays as spin blur if so any solutions to this issue?

Just installed Elements 2021 Photoshop and Organizer and trying to import about 17,000 images and Oranizer keeps crashing (and rebooting my PC) before completing the import.  I have many HEIC pics from my various versions of iPhones over the years. I am running Organizer on a Windows 10 PC.

Hi, I can't run Photoshop Elements 2018 on my Mac as it just hangs.  I'm running Big Sur 11.2.3 so is there a know issue?

After the latest update, my polygonal lasso tool creates circles and ovals after I make my selection. It's the only lasso tool I use due to its precision, please help!

Hi,I have a Photoshop Elements 2021 license for a windown computer.  Is it possible to shift that to a Mac OS system.  I purchased the online version.  I was able to deactivate the license from the windows system.  However when I try to download the software on the Mac it just shows me the .exe file available for download. Thanks

1. I can't seem to find how to copy the original image so I can work on the copy and leave the original.  It seems to have automatically copied the original image the first couple of time but on my third image the original is gone and only the PS image is left.2.  On these 2 images I used the spot healing brush and was able to get some of the white spots but I want to get rid of the yellow stain on the dress.  I only succeeded in making it purple because I thought I was supposed to use healing brush and hue.  I have spent at least 2 hours looking at different tutorials but they all say healing brush fixes stains.  Any tips as to how to fix?Thanks for any  help, I 'm finally going to PS all my mom pics 

I apologize for mistakes in this post but I am using a translator and I hope you understand the meaning of my request.had to reinstall Photoshop 15 (regularly registered on the Adobe server) on my PC after which, for various problems, I had to reinstall Windows professional again. The installation was successful but when I try to open the installed program, after entering the serial number and accepting the contract, I get the message "Could not validate the serial number." I have already contacted Adobe who informed me that , being the version of Photoshop 15 of 2016, the activation servers are no longer available and for this reason the error is detected when I insert the code. You can help me since the specialized research licensing team that directed me to this forum:Alright, as I was able to review this is correct serial key, please try again, also I would like to inform you that as you are using older versions of the Photoshop Elements and the support for the older versions has b

Hello All, Im not a normal visitor to this board, but this is about the only thing I can think of to do in attempt to get started to recover my files. I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor 8.0  I recently uninstalled my Photoshop 2.0 (Yes, 2.0) I received the error message the first time I tried to open a file.  I also got a message about a folder not being able to be reached. My suspician is that I accidentally got rid of a folder when I uninstalled the old Photoshop The entire message reads: Photoshop Elements Editor Error Opening the Portable Document File (PDF) document. Error Code = 0x20030055 SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! Other pieces of information. I have noticed I am still able to open my JPEG files of the same photo, but not the .pdf Also I have attached some photos that show a warning sign on the bottom of the save box, something I believe is related to the issue. (That sign went away after I saved the fi

I am an old school phtographer and still use PSCS3 - however my old school computer needs replacing and I no longer have my disks or key and understand CS3 is a dinosaur from the past, no longer available.  My question is Do I go with a subscription plan or buy a digital download of the annual renewal of PSE and if so which one?  I want basically what I have in CS3 Photoshop (no need for all the other stuff I have in the master suite, I only use photoshop)   I went kicking and scremaing from film photography into the world of digital phtography, apparently now  I am being thrust into a new digital dimention with PSCC.   Thanks in advance.

Hi I just decided to get Elements and premier since it seemed like an ok deal even though I generally avoid adobe software I did need a stable video editor and I can never have enough photo manipulation. I wish somewhere it would have said that Elements is a completely neutered piece of software, it cannot even edit some of the types of layers it generates? there are no transform tools, is there a way to add brushes or something to it because as it stands I will never use it for editing photos, GIMP is my main but I was hoping I could use elements for quick idea edits for forum posting. Anyway, I kind of expected it was going to be a filter loading app with all the other software I already use.The organiser though, is there no way to exclude folders? or block things from it completely, I know you can remove them or set it to not load subfolders but is there no exclusion option? it is pretty standard for media scanning capable programs. Also can I not un -install all the bloatware thing
