Photoshop Elements

I had LOTS of photos on an older version of PhotoShop. I now use PS 2018. How do I retrieve these?  Are these albums now lost? 

I do nature photography and file my photos by place, then subfiles for subject, then subfiles for dates.  I had been using PSE2019 and this system worked fine.  I loaded the same files using the same system into PSE2021 (on a new computer), and all that loaded was the subfiles for dates. So, I now have a bunch of files with the same name (ex/ 10 files named 10-01-2020) Is there a way to get the photos to load with the system I had been using?  

Any idea where I can download a copy of Photoshop Elements 9.My original copy is not accessable after my laptop crashed.

I've been using PS CS6 with PSE12 and all was well. Recently I decided to update to PS21 &  LR Classic and ever since the operation of  Elements has slowed by 2/3rds. It eventually gets to where I want it to go, but the waiting is a problem that has to be solved. If I have to upgrade Elements to PSE21 to resolve this, I will but I'd like to know if it would be slow as well. I like PSE's Organizer and my workflow suits me; I don't want to have to use LR. You assistance will be much appreciated.

Hi there! I just downloaded Photoshop Elements 2021 on my Mac to find out that it does not support Arabic. I tried to find an option to select Middle Eastern languages from prefrences > type.. but it seems this option is only availabe on other Photoshop Apps but not on Elements 😞 Is there a way to solve this? Please any trick will be much appreaciated, Thanks!

Hello, Using Photoshop Elements 13.  For years, I have been using the Image > Size > Image Size to resize my images measured in Pixels.  About a week ago, the option to select Pixels has disappeared.  I tried reloading the software with not luck.  Any ideas how I can get this option back? 

Maybe this is not a PE problem per se.  When I print an image after working or restoring a photo the dark areas are shiny.  I am so far from an expert I have no idea why or how to fix it.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Using an HP printer.   Thanks.

In order to transfer my PSE catalog to a new computer, I was told by Adobe tech support to upgrade PSE on the old computer; backup the catalog in the 2021 version; restore on the new computer. Now, after installing PSE 2021 on the new computer, I'm being told that the serial number is no longer valid, perhaps because it was already installed on the old computer.  I posed this question to the Adobe tech support, and never received a reply.  So how do I activate PSE2021 on the new machine without having to purchase it again?  Do I de-install it on the old machine? Thanks

I purchased Adobe Elements 12 in 2013 at office Max and cannot get it to work.  Even have receipt.  The agent took so much of my time and cannot help me. Very federated. My first adobe purchase.  Frustrated with poor customer support and service.  Cannot rely on Adobe and their support and products are not too good.

I am running PSE 2020 on a Windows 10 PC (ver 21H1). My PC has an Intel i9-9900K CPU, 32 GB mem, 512 GB SSD C:drive, 2 TB HDD D:drive, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card. My C:drive has 300 GB free and D:drive has 1.2 TB free. Windows 10 and the NVIDIA graphics card are both fully up-to-date. I was attempting to import about a dozen TIF images into my Organizer. The Organizer crashed during the import and shut down. After this crash, the Organizer crashes every time I try to reopen it. The TIF files were not that large - about 6000 px X 6000 px. There were two that were larger - about 10000 px X 10000 px. I had previously used the registry hack to increase the Organizer's MaxImageSize to 300 Megapixels (314,572,800). This registry hack was working and allowed me to have a few images that were about 11000 x 13000 px without the "broken" icon in the grid display. I can open these TIF files in the PSE Editor and I can view them with the Windows Picture Viewer w

Hello!   I have a license copy of Flash Pro and Photoshop . I had purchased it in 2012. please let me kmow how to istall it in Windows 11

Help pls! I keep selecting a subject but it's selecting some parts that I don't need selected and when I deselect it removes everything that I selected 🤦🏻‍♀️Then, I don't know why it's not creating changing the background color after inverting. I'm doing something wrong. I also need to change backgrounds for multiple images - any advise?

The Hand Tool is not working.  I closed and reopened the Editor.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

I'm trying to backup my PSE 15 catalog to an external SSD so I can transfer it to my new PC, which is running PSE 2021. The problem is that PSE 15 tells me that my C: drive is too full to complete the backup. I've optimized/ deleted nearly all of my personal files from the C: drive to make room for this transfer... ....So ironically, it's the PSE 15 data itself that is filling up the lion's share of my hard drive. And I have TONS of room on my external SSD drive. Is there a way to utilize the ample space on my external SSD to complete this PSE catalog backup? Can I move the C: drive's PSE catalog data to my external SSD, and then initiate the backup? Or is there another way? After gigs and gigs of deletions, my C: drive still has only 10.7 GB remaining, and the majority of the used disk space is being used by PSE 15. Yet PSE15 is telling me that my C: drive is too full to complete the backup. It's a vicious cycle.

Hello! I'm new to this version of Photoshop and I'm trying to find the History brush (if there is one). I'm praying there is. I use it all the time to edit in small areas but still be able to go back and replace the original picture where I want it. Please tell me there is a history brush?? If so can someone tell me where it's located in Photoshop Elements 2018?

Hi.  I am trying to transfer my elements 14 from my redundant pc to my new pc but my password doesnt work.  Tried requesting new password but that doesnt work either. Paid version.  Any ideas please?

How can I set up Elements 2021 to use Windows Mail as default instead Outlook? 

I'd like to be able to search photos in the Organizer by Date Created and/ Date Modified.  Even better, I'd like to search for a range of dates in either of these fields.  Is this possible?

Last week I found a series of "engraving" or "etching" filters/effects on myPhotoshop Elements 14.1. One of the filters/effects was (as I recall) "Vintage newspaper illustration engraving (or etching)". It was really neat. However, I'd be damned if I could find these filters/effects again and spend the entire weekend with no luck. I see that there are some "add-ons" that you can download from the internet, but I am certain these engraving/etching filters/effects were built in, but not readily visible. It seems I must have stumbled upon this list. Does anyone know where these etching/engraving filters/effects can be found? There should be a list of different kinds (including one for "vintage newspaper illustration"). Thanks!  

Hello.  I have elements 15.  Totally new.  I am trying to reduce the size of a repeated image within a photo, not reduce the size of the photo itself.  Is this possible?  Thank you.  Claire

Until recently, I used Elements11 for printing images. I use an Epson R3000 which allows prints up to SuperB (A3+). When printing in Elements11, it was easy to choose from a dropdown list in the print dialogue box, which size I wanted to print. With Elements21, the dropsdown list available only shows options up to A4 even if I choose the 'more options' or 'advanced' buttons. I really need to print bigger than A4. Can anyone give me any pointers? Thanks, Tommy.

I have recently bought a new computer and have tried reinstalling PSE 13. I am getting an error message sayng the Activation code is already in use. I can't access my old computer any longer. How can I get passed this problem? I have looked on the web and cannot see any way of deactivating the software on old computers. Thks

Using Photoshop Elements 2020. Until recently I could rename a file of any length within the information field of the media panel using cut and paste from the caption field. I use that rather than the rename option under file menu as my preferred filenames are greater than 30 characters. Suddenly this stopped working, giving a message "file rename operation could not be completed". The operating system in Windows 10 with all updates installed.  Please advise how this functionality can be restored.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra that I used as my primary camera -- unfortunately none of the photos are viewable in Organizer.  I've tried adding a registry key for maximum image size limit, but it did nothing to help.  I'm a relative novice.  Didn't have any issues with my previous phones and/or cameras -- just this Samsung.  Any help would be appreiated.

I have elements 2020. How I can upgrade  camera raw plagin to 13.3?
