Photoshop Elements

I'm having the same problems on a Windows after installing Elements 2021, after upgrading from v17 .  No Editor. I have to use the TOPAZ editors instead because the Adobe ones don't work.  And from what I can read in Adobe's marketing mataerial, the editor won't work off=line anyway.  I do outdoors photography and edit in the field, far from the internet.  

In 2006 I bought a Plustek OpticFilm 7600i with SilverFast.  Looking at my old first scan images they were produced (saved?) in Photoshop 7.0. If I remember correctly Photoshop ‘called’ SilverFast to do the scanning and then were saved by Photoshop, which is now seen in the file’s properties. This year I purchased a new HPzBook running Windows 10 Pro 64bit.  I’ve bought the latest versions of SilverFast and Photoshop Elements 2020.  Both have been updated in the last few days to the latest release.  I saw that Photoshop bridge was also installed, when I installed the latest releases. However, I am unable to ‘call’ Silverfast from within Photoshop as I did in 2006. Has this feature been removed or have I yet to learn how to do it? 

I would be interested to learn if ythere is a way to:1- Automatically fill a circular mask to fill a frame2- Automatically centre a mask to the centre of the canvas or other object. I know how to do this manually, but it would be nice to find out if this can be done automatically to the exact pixel. Your advice would be appreciated.Kind regrds  Chris

hi.I wanted to do a re-install of my software after deleting some system files.When the DMG is finished being verified, i only get a window with a number of folder icons showing. It is not going into install.. and i dont see any installation icons.I do see one icon with a big red circle around it....  sort of looks like an error.. like i cant do something.. or it cant do something...i've never seen an error lile this.

I imported all my photos into PSE Organizer 2021.I wished to copy some files to another folder. Organizer allows "select" and "copy" but I can't see a "paste" command.I copied the files using Windows Explorer. I then right clicked on the destination folder in Organizer and imported the files. The photo thumbnails do not show in the destination folder.I tried another call to import the files but it says the file import for each file has been skipped as the files are already in the folder.I can't view the copied files in Organizer.I have deleted the Organizer "Catalog" and recreated it but the copied files still do not show up in Organizer.Why doesn't this work?How should I be doing this?ThanksSteve 

I just installed the new photoshop elements on my computer.  It worked at first, but after I closed it and reopened it, I couldn't get it to load.  It says Loading Photoshop Elements Editor Workspace and thinks for a while then nothing happens.  Please help!

Hello, I am a novice at using Photoshop and am having no luck with using the tooth whitening tool in "Quick" edit. I select the tool, highlight the required teeth and.....nothing happens! Am I missing something?

I just started using Elements 2021. The quick selection tool worked fine on the first photo I edited, but after that the normal circular shape of the tool changed into a shape like a cross, and it wouldn't select anything. The size and shape of the tool did not change when I pressed the bracket keys on my keyboard.  I restarted the computer and the tool went back to the normal shape, but when I began to edit a second photo it turned into the cross again. I can't find a way to repair the tool. Please help.

Some of the people in my photos are mostly referred to by nicknames, but not always.  I do not want to use diffeerent tags for any person.  I want to see a list of assigned face tags.  I can take screen shots of listings that use more than a single screen

Adobe has some guides in PDF that an overseas support person said he would download to my computer, but I cannot locate them.  Please tell me how to download them.

How can I get a straightforward slideshow in Organizer, without unwanted effects (b&w versions, pictures sliding over each other).   I just want an easy way to look at and judge my latest batch of photos.   Anyone help please?

When I select photos and select 'slideshow' it moves pictures around, creates b&w versions etc.   I just want a straightforward slideshow of my pictures.   Can I change the way it's done now?    Old version of Elements didn't do it. 

I am trying to back up my Photoshop Organizer on external hard drive, and 128,000 pictures to transfer to a new PC.  I depend on this as a photographer, it is 17 years work!  It has always worked in the pastWhen I backup it does 97% and then I get this message - ''C:\Users\ukphotos\Pictures\iCloud Photos\Photos\IMG_4151_edited1.jpg''  ( have changed it a little).  Know nothing about iCloud - and I cannot find 4151 in Organizer or my files.   Can somebody please help.  Can Adobe phone me or contact me?  Am willing to pay for help.

refine effect quit working in B&W color pop, low key, etc. even if i move opacity all the way to 0. will not add. will not subtract. i'm using elements 2019. this is the first time this issue has arose. i've tried multiple photos using RAW and JPEG. 

Everything was fine two days ago.  Now,  I cannot print without a background on my image.  The background is transparent in the workspace, but as soon as I choose print the background is back.  I have tried several ideas found in the forum, however these have not worked.  The only change made to my computer was to download an AP that would allow me to download HEIC pictures into elements.  I have uninstalled that, but no change was made.  Another issue that may be related, is that when I try to open a recently edited file, a message pops ups that says the file can not be found.  Ideas please

I am using Elements 2020 and after using the drop shadow in Styles, and going back to Layers, I find that the text effect box under Text now only brings up the shadows, instead the textures you can add to your text.This is happening under the Text tool, where there is a box towards the right-hand side of the screen, which should have the textures in it. How do I get those textures back? Thanks.

I posted this earlier tonight, but I posted a reply that added to my questions, and I'm afraid no one will answer my questions now since it looks like someone replied. So I combined my original question and the post that I added here:I am using Sandisk Extreme Compact Flash Cards. For the past week, when I try to upload photos into the Elements Organizer, the upload freezes. Sometimes it freezes at about photo number 160, sometimes earlier. This has happened with multiple flash cards. I have called Dell tech support twice requesting help for this problem. After I talked to them last week, I was able to upload my photos. But tonight, I tried uploading photos and it slowed down drastically. It slowed down at about 160 photos again, and then slowly uploaded photos up to number 301, at which time it froze for good (there were 755 photos on the card). I called Dell tech support again, and they found that a Windows update had stalled. The tech allowed the update to install, and then restarte

I am trying -- and mostly failing -- to utilize Elements Organizer, and in playing with the preferences I ended up on the Email page and tried to configure an email client. First, it refuses to accept GSuite/Workspace accounts as Gmail accounts, which is annoying in and of itself, but then that failed configuration is stuck as a email profile and there's no way to delete it. Or is there? Please let me know! Then I tried a regular gmail account, and Google blocked it as an unknown and "less secure app." That's concerning. Why is Adobe using "less secure" technology that Google wants to block? Unless this is a secret fight between the two companies that we're suffering, this makes me concerned about how secure the entire Elements package is.

Hi everybody,   I had to upgrade my Macbook to OS Catalina. Ever since I cannot use Elements 9 anymore as it the wrong bitversion. What are my options now? (I used the testversion of Elements 2021 but don't wanna buy another license...)   Thanks in advance and best regards!

I can't locate my serial numbers for PE 18 or PE 20.  I have serial numbers for PE 13 which I upgraded to PE 18 online and then PE 20 in May of 2020.  Importantly, I would like to install PE 20 on my new laptop, but I can't locate the S/N.  I thought Creative Cloud was supposed to indicate these purchases, but it doesn't.  Right now, I am using a trial version of PE 20 on new laptop, but I'm not too keen on having to buy it again.  Thanks, Jack

I  just opened my elements and have new BOO files that are doubles of my scanned pictures that I did YEARS ago and never had an issue such as this.  The picture is there on the organizer but when you click on them most of the BOO files are corrupted (grey square shows up when you click on the BOO picture).  I am not sure what I did to cause this.  My pictures have been on my computer with regular backups on external hard drive and cloud. Is there an easy way to get rid of these?  I likely have over 300 of these BOO pictures ugh!

Can Photoshop brushes be used in PSE 2021. Is there a reason why they may not be compatible for PSE? I see an offer from DesignCuts.com offering 80 Photoshop Grunge Brushes. I am afraid to buy if they will not work in PSE. Thank you for for your input. Cynthia

So, elements 12 & camera raw wont open the files! Ive decided to install DNG but it will only work apparently if my camera raw is a minimum of 8.7 but mine is camera raw 8.5! Can anyone advise me exactly what and how to update my elements and camera raw versions to resolve the problem? I would prefer to continue using elements 12 and camera raw ro open the CR2 files from the 7D mark 2! I did , try to install a zipped file from a later plug in, i think it was 10 or 10.5 which i unzipped , but its not worked! Do i have to install the new verion of elements to go with it?
