Photoshop Elements

How do I create a large collage with Adobe Photoshop Elemnents 2024 using more than the set 8 pictures? Thanks

I recently got Windows 11 on my computer. Now, I am having a few issues with Photoshop Elements 2020. Is there an update I need? Thanks. 

I've got PSE 8 from about 2009. I moved from W10 to W11 a couple of days ago and installed PSE 8 from the original CD.The problem is that W11 memory integrity really doesn't like two drivers ... Px Engine Device Driver    and   PxHlpa64.sys           both of which seem to relate to CD / DVD (writing, presumably). PSE 8 then seems to work UNTIL I reboot, when it fails to start.  The blue screen offers the opportunity to restore a Restore Point and that brings it back ... but without PSE 8, of course. Someone must have found a way to install PSE 8 on W11 by now, so I look forward to receiving any advice (apart from "upgrading") 🙂I really like PSE 8 (and I really hated PSE 14 when I tried it years ago)  PSE 8 is simple and does what I need it to do.

Ich möchte auf einem neuen PC Photoshop Elements 2020 und Premiere Elements 2020 neu installieren. Beim sign-in bekomme ich die Meldung dass ich bereits auf der maximalen Anzahl Computern mit dem Schlüssel eingeloggt bin. Ich habe diese Computer aber nicht mehr und kann mich nicht ausloggen.Eine Unterhaltung mit dem Chat Support führte zu keine Lösung. Der Support kann offenbar die Aktivierungen aufgrund einer "kürzlichen Politikänderung" von Adobe nicht mehr zurücksetzen. Damit werden meine beiden Lizenzen für Elements 2020 de facto wertlos.Wie kann man die Rücksetzung der Aktivierungen machen? Ich will kein Produkt mit einem Abo, deshalb verwende ich die Elements Produkte.

I can't work out how to setup this software so that it automatically opens in the Photo Editor Advanced Mode, so I don't have to go through all the intro screens. Can anyone help please? Mike

My Elements 12 catalog (converted from Elements 10) has a BreezeData folder with over 5,000 html files named something like breeze-5172.xml and start in 2011 and end in 2018. What are these breeze files for? I ran an AI search and got a lot of information about how they may include metadata, thumbnails, etc. However, why do they stop at 2018 when I'm continuing to use the program? Is that when a new version of Elements came out with a new way to handle this data? All attempts to answer this are appreciated.

I have Adobe Photoshop 2024 Elements Organizer 24.0.0.0.  When I use File>Export as New File(s) to export a JPG file and select JPEG as the File Type, a jJPG file is created instead of a JPEG file.  This happens with both with the Original Name and Common Base File Name selected.  I am trying to copy my photos from Elements to Apple iPhoto.  iPhoto will not accept JPG files.  The work around I have to use is use Microsoft to load the jpg file created by Elements and save it as a JPEG file and then download it into iPhoto.

Bonjour, j'utilise PHotoshop Elements et Première Elements version 2019  sous Windows 10. Jusqu'à présent  je n'ai eu aucun problème mais depuis quelques jours chaque fois que je veux importer des photos prises avec mon smartphone l'organisateur ne m'affiche pas les photos voici ce que j'obtiens:(j'ai vidé le cache, réparer et optimiser le catalogue mais rien ne change. Les anciennes photos s'affichentnormalement) Merci pour votre aide.

I just upgraded to Elements 2025 (for Windows 11) around 10 days ago. One of the reasons for the upgrade was that it was reported that it would support HEIC files from i-Phones (since PSE 2023!). I followed the steps to install the codecs required for HEIC files to be recognized in PSE 2025. I re-installed the HEIF extension file and installed the HEVC Video Extensions ($0.99 from MS Store) without any success with PSE.  I spent an inordinate amount of time troubleshooting this process without success.  Then, I tried the same files on a friend's computer where he has both PSE 2023 and Photoshop installed and found he had the exact same issue with PSE 2023, BUT the HEIC files opened fine in Photoshop!  The Adobe Virtual Assistant confirmed "Photoshop Elements 2025 does not support HEIC files natively, while Photoshop does." It goes on to suggest converting HEIC files to jpegs...this wasn't the answer I wanted having just upgraded with the expectation PSE 2025 di

Yesterday, the Photo Editor programme in Elements 2025 stopped working. I've only had Photoshop Elements  for a couple of weeks so it's more than a lttle frustrating that I can't use it!Any ideas?

I have recently upgraded to Elements 2025,  and had it install Camera Raw from the Help menu.  It's installed versio 17.0.  According to the recent table for my Nikon Z5ii raw files I need version 17.3   I have downloaded that separately and installed, but in Elements it's still showing as 17.0 and I cannot open the files.  Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Hello, When I query the serial number for my product in my account, I get a 24-digit number. However, the activation of Photoshop Elements V21.0 requires a 6-digit number. I purchased the product in November 2022. how do I get the required activation code? Thanks for the help

Ho installato  PSE2024 e PRE2024 che uso da aprile 2024. Devo procedere ad una installazione pulita windows 11 Pro. So che devo disattivare entrambi i prodotti dalla scheda aiuto di Editor e Premiere.  Nel mio account Adobe, trovo entrambe le licenze con l'indicazione del numero di serie. Non capisco perchè  non ho dispositivi attivati? Come si attiva un dispositivo? 

Hallo in die Community,ich habe ien größeres Problem mit Photoshop Elements 10. Das Programm möchte ich gerne auf meinem neuen Laptop mit WIN11 installieren, was auch prinzipiell funktioniert. Jedoch wird ein Neustart des Laptops nach der Installation gefordert, der nicht funktioniert. Der Laptop stürzt komplett ab und man kann auf nichts mehr zugreifen. Mit WIN7, WIN8, WIN8.1 sowie WIN10 habe ich nie Problem bei der Installation gehabt. Ist Photoshop Elements 10 mit WIN11 nicht kompatibel? Eine Fehlermeldung gibt es nicht. Haben den Laptop deswegen schon 2 mal an den Händler zurückgegeben. Eine Aussage zur Kompabilität bekomme ich nicht. Danke für eine Rückmeldung.Michael

I use PSE 2023 - just changed my camera to a canon EOS R50 and am unable to look at the photos in RAW.  Message tells me to "install the camera raw plug in from the Help menu".  Have tried everything without success.  RAW files open with no issues on Lightroom.  Looks like I will abandon Photoshop Elements as an editing tool altogether unless someone offers a solution.

I just restored a full backp of PSE23 and all photos from an external hard drive to a new Win 11 computer.  On the old Win 10 computer all photos were contained in the Windows 10 Pictures folder. But after the restoration in the new computer I found my Windows 11 Pictures folder was empty.  When initiating the restoration I found the lower portion of the Restore menu box direction for specifying the folder to restore to, to be a little confusing.  After checking past Community posts on this topic I eventually followed a suggestion to specify the path indicated in the Organizer help menu, which was C:\ProgramData\Adobe\ElementsOrganizer\Catalogs\My Catalog; and checked the box to restore the original folder structure. The restoration completed and the PSE23 software seems to  be operating  correctly.  However whereas my actual photos were previously contained in the Pictures folder they are now in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\ElementsOrganizer\Catalogs\My Cata

When I have several pictures open in Expert Mode, there are occassions when adjusting layer transparency in one picture also affects layers in another picture.  I don't know what I'm doing to cause this but I can't imagine it's by design.

Error message on start up says "Adobe_licutil quit unexpectedly" and a box shows up offering to allow me to send a report to Apple. From my own experience sending a report to Apple is a waste of time as nothing ever happens!!! The software was purchased directly from Adobe so it is a genuine product. Can I delete the programme "Adobe_LIcutil" and still have a working version? My reasoning is that if, as I suspect, it is a .EXE programme it will not work on a Apple machine anyway. My PC has plenty of RAM (64 GB) and 4 Tb HDD and is up to date with the latest OS. Any advice on this would be apprciated.  

In right top corner of thumbnail their is a symbol of a music note. If you click on it the dialogue box title is RelatedSound. I want to get rid of it. There is no sould associated with these photos. I cannot figure out how to delete it. Any ideas?

When I save a file to jpg format from Elements 2024, it defaults the save location to the folder where the previous saved file was saved, which is usually not the source of the image being save. I want the default save-as folder to be the location of its source RAW file.I see the save options including “Organize” / “Include in Elements Organizer,” which is highlighted in blue and I can check, and a second option “Save in Version Set with Original,” which is in black text and does not allow me to check.“Save ss a Copy” is another option but is also in black and cannot be selected.Is there any way to make a setting change to set the default save location to be the source folder? Thanks / Kozmo

I have Photoshop Elements 13, so I realize it's not current, but here goes. Starting a day or two ago, an image turns orange pink when I tried to click on it with a tool. I guessed that I had flattened it by mistake. It's text on a layer over a gif background. So I tried opening the background image, planning to create the old one again. Same results. So it's not a problem with one image, and it's not so general as to be a monitor issue. Looking at past posts online, I figured it might be Quick Mask. And it goes away if I click on the traffic sign for "cancel current operation" but comes back when I click on the image again. I tried pressing Q many times, whether with the color on the image or just with the mouse not clicking on the image. No difference. the pink will come back when I try to select text on the image again. I saw an icon for Quick Mask might be on a toolbar but don't see it. Any  clues? Thank you.

Bonjour, J'ai formaté mon PC en oubliant de désactiver les licences et depuis je ne peux plus activer mes licences Photoshop Element et Premiere Element. Est-il possible d'avoir de l'aide ? Merci.

Hi, got PS Elements 2024, from a well known large German electronics retailer last year and it never worked for more than a couple of weeks at a time. I have had to do numerous re-installations - after a couple of weeks, adobe does not recognize my serial number or activation key anymore and there we go, can't finish the work I started, the photo album I was working on or whatever. I have had numerous conversations with adobe chat as well. To no avail. What am I supposed to do, except buy Affinity? 

I tried opening the Contact Sheet II app in Elements 2021 and got these two messages: The operation could not be completed.The file or directory could not be found. Next message was:Could not complete the Contact Sheet II command because of a program error. I am using a Macbook Air, 2020, M1 and Ventura 13.3.1. (a)what do i do ??
