Photoshop Elements

I just purchased PSE 2021 and it appears you must remain logged in, in order to use this program. Maybe I am "old school", but this is the first time this has happened to me with an actual piece of software that I have purchased, rather than with, say, a subscription to a newspaper.  So I am a bit concerned by this, because businesses that force you to stay logged in typically track and monetize your behavior.   So I would like to know: what does Adobe have the right to keep track of, in terms of my use of this software?  Do they have the right to keep track of which features of the software I use?  How often I use them?  How long I spend using the program?  Information about what kind of camera I used to take my photos, and other metadata?  What about tracking of my behavior elsewhere on my computer - do they have the right to gather information about what other programs I have/am using on my computer?  My behavior while using other pr

Windows 8 . I am getting code 160 which relates to permissions.  I am the administrator. I have gone to the registry (REGISTRY!!!). Haven't been there in 20 years.  I changed permission on everything I recognize as relating to the product.  My product loads to around 65%.  One of the places it suggests is in the Windows app path Photoshop.exe, but I don't have Photoshop.exe in that place? 

So I had no problems importing HEIC photos into Organizer and opening in Elements 2020.  However, after doing an edit, something as simple as a rotation I'm not able to keep (Save) the file in HEIC format, only the other options as seen below. I hope there's a way to Save As HEIC; but, couldn't find how? Thanks!  

Shooting mostly RAW. The RAW files are first viewed and culled in FastRawViewer. Next, a chosen image is sent to DxO PL4 Elite for initial processing, and then finished off in PSE 18 and PSE's NIK, if needs be.  BTW, I don't go directly from PL to its NIK because it just takes too long.  Once in PSE,  NIK opens much quicker. So, here are the problems:1.  If PSE hasn't been opened yet, when it is called to open the file from PL, it opens with the NIK palette also opened.  I always want NIK to open with PSE.2.  If PSE is already opened, when it is called to open the file fro PL, the NIK palette is not opened and has to be opened manually from either PSE File or PSE Filters. Why isn't NIK's palette opening under this condition?3.  After finishing processing in PSE, saving it, and then closing the image from PSE, the opened NIK palette will close also. Why does the NIK palette close while PSE is still open and the processed image is closed?4. When I go to

[1] When I open a RAW photo with Elements the first thing I see is a nice panel of controls on the right side of the screen that I will call PANEL A, shown in the screenshot below --To close this workspace, I click a little button marked OPEN (right side of screen bottom) which saves the picture with any changes made with the controls on the right side of the screen, and then opens up a new set of controls, shown in the screen shot below, which I will call PANEL B QUESTION:  Is there a way to revert to PANEL A while in the PANEL B environment ?  

can I ugrade to element 2021 from elements 9 and keep my organizer files? 

I'd like to add a drop shadow to a subject. I don't see that option. If it's there, where do I find it?

The first thing I see when I open a raw file is the environment shown in the picture below, with a set of nicely displayed controls shown on the right hand side of the screen.. QUESTION:  I would like to be able to edit JPG files with this same nicely formatted set of controls.  Is this possible, and if yes, how can I do it ?

Ok.  I'm a Photoshop Infant.  I have lots of Ancestor photos in rough chronological order under their own People Tags.  My siblings want copies, & I want to delete some. But when I copy them to a stick and open the stick, they're all out of order and I lose the captions. Can someone tell me how to correct either of these issues?

Just out of curiosity, and to solve a nagging tought at the back of my brain, in what order does Elements decide to do its backup, largest first, smallest first, date created/imported, file name or type or any other criteria?  Or is it totally random? Not vastly important in the scheme of things, but I just wonderedjohn

Hi. Any advice before I ditch Photoshop after a dozen years? 2020 and 2021 versions of Photoshop elements loads and works (usually) without a problem, but when I close the Mac at the end of the end, it system hangs. Checking the crash logs, I get messages like this. I have switched off the infuriating Autocreations, but...  If I remove Photoshop, the computer behaves normally. When I re-install, though, the crashes reucr.

I need a code (phtoshop tools) for a website for customization of decoration objects for customer to use freely. it will help customer specify what exact customization design he expects to be produced by us in our physical workshop. Process:1) on the product page, the customer clicks on "customize the design" under the picture of the object2) some photoshop tools then appear, such as lasso tool/polygonal/etc, which enable customer to select a very precise part of the object on the picture3) customer selects a color from the available colors (associated to paint colors references we have in stock in our workshop) and applies that color to the selected part of the object. When satisfied, he validates this part of the object..4) ..then customer does the same action to the next part of the object, applying the same color or a different one.5) once customer is satisfied with his whole design, he validates and sends it to us for physical production of the decoration objectWe therefore need a

Just upgraded from PSE15 to PSE21.Default catalogue was converted like I expected.Now I would like to open another catalogue on my mobile USB hdd but no catalogue is displayed (in the folder where it was the day before in PSE15).  PSE15 already removed, how can I retrieve the catalogue? I am afraid importing the image file to an empty catalogue would damage the tag structure? Thanks for help. Klaus  

From Googling various sites and using the directions from Adobe for installation, I've managed to install ScriptListener for Windows 64 into PSE 2019 and it is recoding.  PSE placed the log file on the desktop with a .log extension.  However I've not been able to execute the script.  If I place the file in the PSE Actions sub-folder and give it an .atn extension PSE states it is not compatible with this version.  How do you run the script?

I'm trying to import my photo library to Photoshop Elements 2020. It starts the process and imports a lot of photos, but then freezes on a .mov file. It imports some (most) .mov files, but consistently fails on others. It doesn't give me the option to skip the file and carry on, it just freezes. See attached screen shot. I'm running Windows 10. Has anyone else seen this? Also is there any way at all to contact Adobe directly toget support? Thanks

Where there used to be image thumbnails for tiff files saved from Photoshop Elements 15, they are now only icons with "tiff" written on it. Viewer options are set to "show thumbnail" in Preferences, but it doesn't work. Computer is a Mac OSX 10.11.6. Any help on resolving this would be appreciated.
