Photoshop Elements

I have a new laptop. My old machine has Elements 18. I downloaded it to my new laptop, but I'm being told I have a thirty day trial, after which I must purchase it again. What do I do?

I've been using Photoshop Elements since 2006; this is my 4th version, which I purchased in February of 2017.  It has worked flawlessly - until yesterday! I'm in the middle of a project and now I cannot do ANYTHING with this software.  It says I don't have enough RAM.  I have 4 GB of RAM and even with the program running, I'm only using less than half of that.  I would try to reinstall the software, but unfortunately I purchased a download so I don't have the disk.  Can't figure out how to contact Adobe to see if the download is still available.  I will not buy another upgrade that may not work with my RAM. Also, my computer doesn't seem to have room for additional RAM.  Any suggestions?

I have Elements 2018 as an upgrade, as I previously had Elements 10. Can I uninstall 2018 and re-install it without any problems?  I have the serial number for 2018 but I'm concerned that once I uninstall 2018 I won't have any 'previous' version on my computer - a previous version is required in order to use an upgrade.

We are trying to turn a red silhouette to white. It is a png file. We would like to paste the image onto a red bag in printify but can't figure out how to change the color. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Why on earth does Adobe persist in hiding away behind this cloak and that cloak rather than offering helpful and meaningful Support???? I have just roday purchased Adobe Photshop Elements 2021 through Amazon; I have redeemed the emailed Activation Code, got the Serial Number, yet this stupid, nonsensical software from Adobe----no wonder Microsoft Windows kicked Adobe Flash into history!!!----keeps coming up with an error about connecting to the Internet when I already am connected to the Internet when trying to input the Serial Number just obtained, in the relevant boxes. This is typical Adobe crap, and their Support compounds it by hiding behind screens. Wish I had never bought this load of dog's doodah now!!!

I am seriously looking at migrating from LR/PS. Great software but overkill for what I am doing and consequently resent paying the subscription costs. But I have library of thousands of files catalogued in LR which ai don't want to have to re catalog in a new system. Is there a way to import the LR catalog into Elements, including all keywords etc. If I write the metadata/keywords into files within LR so each file has an associated xmp file can that be imported into Elements to build a catalogue?

I have seen this mentioned before on this forum but I can't find it now. There are 2 or 3 keys that can be pressed and held down when launching PSE that brings up a prompt to Reset Preferences. What is that key sequence? 

My workflow has been to use PSE12's Organizer and when I want to edit in 16 bit I could highlight a photo and hit Ctrl H and Photoshop CS6 would load with the photo in the workspace. Now I've upgraded to Photoshop CC 2021 and I cannot figure out how to do that. I don't want to convert to and use Lightroom Classic or Bridge as I want to continue with the workflow I'm familiar with. Does anyone know how to bypass the use of Lightroom & Bridge and use PSE12 (or higher) with PS CC 2021?

Hello:My problem is that the program refuses to do slide show. Everything else does it right.Just installed there was no problem but as a week happened what I have told. I reinstalled the program once and returned to work. After a couple of days it stopped working again. I reinstalled the program for the third time and this time the problem was not fixed.What can be done? ThanksHola:Mi problema es que el programa se niega a hacer el show de diapositivas. Todo lo demás lo hace bien.Recié instalado no había ningún problema, pero como una semana sucedió lo que he dicho. Reinstalé el programa una vez y volví a trabajar. Después de un par de días dejó de funcionar de nuevo. Reinstalé el programa por tercera vez y esta vez el problema no fue arreglado.¿Qué se puede hacer? Gracias

I have created a PNG file that is all text. Currently, it is wider than it is tall. I want to edit the text so that it is taller than it is wide, and can't find out how to do that. Every time I try, the cursor moves up and down the text, but I can't edit the position of the text itself. For example, if I wanted to change the oriebntation of this post, I could select the point at which i wanted the line to end for each group of text, then hit "enter" on the keyboard, to make it look like this: I have created a PNG file that is all text. Currently , it is widerthan it is tall. I want to edit thetext so that it is taller than it iswide, and I can't figure out howto do that. I could continue, but I think you get the idea. How do I change the orientation on my PNG file?

I am a long-time Photoshop Elements user, with 45K+ photos tagged with Keywords, People, Places and Events.  I believe I started with Version 10 on a Windows machine.  Whatever I started with, I had to build Place tags manually, and tagged 10's of 1,000's of pics.  At some point in the upgrade cycle, Adobe's Place function started using Google Maps, and had no ability to 'import' manually generated tags, so a whole new file hierarchy was started, under country names, such as "United States".  Annoying, but I gritted my teeth and stuck with the product line.  When I upgraded to Version 16, Google Maps was no longer used, and I could not create new Places.  Reluctantly I upgraded to Version 17, assuming some sort of compatibility would be achieved.  No.  Worse yet, Adobe now embraces 'Map Box', not compatible with my Google-based Places, or my manually-created Places.  I am disappointed.  If I create new Places in the US, they show up und

I photocopied forty 35 mm slides into Pictures and now want to bring them into Photoshop Elements.  Painfully it seems I can only bring them one at a time., I am only allowed to list one file when I use "Get files".  Is there a way to bring them all at once?

When I am working on a photo in a folder and I want to save the photo with changes, I was always able to "Save As" and add a new name and save in that folder.  Now, all of a sudden, when I go to a folder, chose a photo, make changes, then "Save As", it goes back to the folder I was in previously and saves there.  I now have to always remember to "Save As" and look for the folder that I am in and choose it.  What happened?

I've just downloaded 2021 but it isn't showing the workspace I;m used to, with the black background, just seems to show a 'lite' version? How do I get the workspace showing on the you tube help videos? Thanks.

This might've been posted already, not sure, but I've figured out for the most part how to get a gif to work in PS Elements 15, but when I try to get it to actually save, it says it's "too big" and that I need to either "scale down the image or delete some layers", and I'm wondering just how small exactly does it want me to make this gif?  I've already tried to scale it down to a quarter of its original size; any smaller than that, and you probably won't be able to really see the gif. I've never had this problem out of any other programs before, and I'm genuinely about to go back to one of those programs and manually input all 60-something layers of this gif just so it'll work properly...  But I'd really rather not, so any advice on this would be very welcome.   The gif has 65 layers, and is 534 x 720 pixels, if that's helpful to anyone.   {Thread renamed by moderator}

Yestereday I re-installed Elements 13 due to a computer crash. It is now reinstalled but I have an endless loop thing going on. When I start it up, it says it wants to install the 13.1 update with the option to install it right now or on exit. Either way, it apparently doesn't happen because I get the same message the next time I open it. This renders it useless becasuse you can't just decline the update. I'd appreciate any help someone might be able to offer.

PSE 2021 will now not open (it worked before).  Further, when I go to help and support it says that the product needs to be registered, but when I go to my acount, it shows my registration.  Need any help please.

Is there a way to save my normal settings in the raw conversion screen ?    In my previous version this was possible but with 2021 it always re drystone zero for every setting.    Also can I get rid of the Welcome screen and jump straight to Organizer? 

I am new to PSE although I had been a long-time user of PS CS4. But when I bought a new HP laptop, I couldn't transfer my old PS, so downloaded PSE2021. It opens to a busy welcome screen--but I'd greatly prefer it open directly to the Photo Editor, where I do all my work.Please advise!

I have a very old version of Adobe PSE and have made many slideshows but  I cannot burn them to DVD's.  If I were to upgrade would I be able to burn the slideshows to DVD's?  If not is there another way to accomplish this?

I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 onto my new laptop.  The font size of the top selections and all the tools and choices is very, very small.  It was not like that on my last laptop.  Could I get some suggestions on?how to make the font and clickable choices easier to see and use? -Thanks!

I am using PSE 2020 on a Windows 10 PC. I am trying to place some text on a photo using the Brilon font from the Heritage Type Co. The PSE Editor will ONLY place the uppercase characters even though I do not have caps lock enabled on my keyboard. This font works fine in MS Word. I don't have this problem with other fonts that I've tried, but I like this font. I've attached a few screen clips to show the problem. This is a sample of the font typed into MS Word.         This is a sample of what I get in the PSE Editor.            It should look like this. (typed in MS Word)    Also, this Brilon font works fine in Photoshop.       Have I got something set wrong on my PSE to cause this?
