Photoshop Elements

Trying to move catalog from old computer to new one.  Both have newly installed Elements 2021.  I perform Full Backup function on old computer to remote hard drive then plug drive into new computer.  Then I run Restore on new computer.  Result is thumbnails but no files.  Can't use Editor without image file.  Tried multiple times with same result.  Any ideas?

I started using Elements a number of years ago and just before Christmas 2020 I decided to upgrade my laptop by installing a Solid State drive. I was amazed at the overall improvement except that I was unable to re-instal Elements, my version is so old that it is no longer supported by Adobe.I can't find any help and I am unhappy at the prospect of paying for a current version of Elements when I simply do not need a current version; I feel like Adobe is giving up on me. Even though it is ancient (Elements 4) it does everything that I need - I have the plug-in so that I can edit 'raw' photos. Help...

I was going to buy from Amazon.fr (France) Photoshop Elements 2021 for Mac as I live in France. On install do I get a choice of languages? I am English so French is no use for me. Thanks

Will 2021 work on new macs with M1 chip?

JohnS, NewburyCannot open files downloaded to iPhone of iPad after saving using Photoshop Elements (PE). I have PE 12 and have had the same annoying problem but have now solved it as below:Edit file using Photoshop.Do not use “Save As” instead go to “Save for Web”.Save file as GIF or JPEGJPEG files can be saved in various sizes (High, Low, Medium)Save file, store where needed, then use to send to iPad or iPhone.I have sent a GIF file of up to 3Mb that is OK but a JPEG file of less than 500Kb is probably best. No problems now. February 9, 2021

Hi all,I am upgrading to PSE 2021 from PSE 4.0 (yes, it's been a while!).I've done a Full Backup of the content on the old computer (WinXP running PSE4.0) to an eternal hard drive and have then plugged the external drive into the the new PC (Win10 running PSE 2021) and run Restore Catalog.The restoration has worked except for the fact that the old catalog (*.psa format) has not been converted to the new PSE 2021 format (I believe the filename should be *.pseXXdb). It simply created a new *.psa file.Additionally, if I point PSE 2021 (via Manage Catalogs) at the *.psa file, it cannot "see" it.I have read all the help files and many posts on this forum about catalog issues, but to no avail.Am I missing a step somewhere or are the PSE 4.0 catalogs unable to be read/restored by PSE 2021? Any help would be much appreciated as I am trying not to lose years of careful cataloguing of various photos.Regards,Chris

After editing an image, I save the image (not in the same set), replacing the original. When I do this, it saves two copies of the same image. Why?

I have performed Photoshop backup procedure more or less regularly for years, sometimes incremental backup, sometimes full backup. For about 5 yrs I´ve been using the same portable drive for that.The last time I made full backup was Oct 2020. Rather soon after that the computer got broken. Now I have a new computer and new Photoshop.I try to restore the catalogue but face a problem: Photoshop says that the October backup is only incremental backup and that I should present previous 4 discs after that. Well all four (and more) previous backups are on the same portable drive but there still is only one backup.tly file and that is dated 26.10.2020.What can I do to restore the catalog??

As attached, this menu drop down is appearing in Photoshop Elements editor 2018!  How do I make it readable!  All other menu items are reading fine and are at a good font size, except this!  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

As I add location to groups of pictures, many of them are from the same places. But I find, so far anyway, that PSE does not "learn" those locations and I have to fully type in the town and province each time I add a new group of photos from that area. Is PSE built this way or is there a shortcut?

Whenever I would hold the cursor over a tool or feature of PE it would tell me what that tool or feature is.  Now it doesn't do that anymore.  Is there a way to get that back?

Does Elements 14 have the ability to turn a layer into a smart object and what path would I follow if this is possible.   Need help as soon as possible  Thanks

I have PSE 2020, and the Dummies book too, but Im not even up to that level.  Im a scrapbooker trying to make prints for an album of our trip to France in 2019.  This is not fun yet.  I need to start with getting rid of one set of about 15,000 photos! Thanks, Dawn

Bonjour,Depuis que j'ai changé d'imprimante (HP OfficeJet Pro 7740) je ne peux plus imprimer avec Photoshop Elements (Version : 18.0 (20201207.m.154403) x64 pour Windows). L'imprimante est bien sélectionnée mais j'ai le message "car l'imprimante par défaut n'a pas pu être ouverte". Mon imprimante est en réseau sur la box, c'était déjà le cas de l'Epson que j'utilisais précédemment. Bien sûr, j'imprime sans problème avec les autres applications.

  I loaded Photoshop Elements 2021 updating from version 7.  All the files seem to be there however none of the many tags set up don't seem to have converted.  This is a problem since I have 26,000+ photos  in thee catalog and obviously am not interested in reentering them manually.  Am I out  of lucki???

I purchaseed the latest version of PSE2021 but it doesn't work correctly. Until it runs ok I prefer working on the 2020 version.   [Branched from unrelated thread by moderator]  

PSE2020 on Win10 is automatically adding photos from my OneDrive Documents folders (OneDrive\Documents\...\etc) to the cataglogue.  No prompt or anything, they just appear in the catalogue.  Since those are filled with random pictures from various work files, it clutters up my Catalogue with hundreds of unwanted images, logos, etc.  PSE is not importing files from the OneDrive pictures directory (OneDrive\Pictures\...\etc), it's only doing it from the Documents folder.  How do I get it to stop importing from the OneDrive Documents folders &/or at least stop them from being automatically added? My actual photos are stored locally (e:\...pictures) and when I add new photos there, PSE says that new files have been detected in the watch folder & prompts me to import them. When I go File-Watched Folders in PSE it only shows "E:\...\pictures" and is set to 'notify me.' Thanks for the help!

Currently using Elements 2020 on my Mac Mojave 10.14.6. I have used Elements for decades. Prior to 2020 I was running 2015, which I have uninstalled. Every time I try to create a total Backup Catalog on an external drive it prepares the files and then I get the pinwheel and eventually the program crashes and generates a report. My most current Catalog backup on this drive was last month. I wonder if upgrading from Sierra to Mojave has created the problem? I even reinstalled Elements 2020 with the same results. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. 

J’ai moi un problème avec la nouvelle version de Photoshop Elements 2021 achetée en ligne. Les menus et polices affichés dans l’Edideur sont minuscules et impossible d’effectuer une mise à l’échelle alors que l’Organiseur est, lui, à la bonne taille. Pour vérifier, j’ai désinstallé et réinstallé la version 2020, laquelle s’affiche correctement, tannt l’Editeur que l’Organiseur. Que se passe-t-il donc avec cet Editeur 2021 ???

Hi everyone,  I bought Adobe Photoshop approximately 5 years ago now, and since I got a new Macbook last year I want to download Adobe Photoshop to my new computer. Obviously, I have the code from the edition I bought on my old computer, so I suppose I somehow can download that version down to my new laptop? I just don't know how to do it?  It can't be true that I have to pay for the program one more time, can it?  I hope some of you out there know what to do 🙂 

I downloaded Photoshop Elements in January, 2019 (I'm now nearly 30,000 photos in).  This version has allowed me to use the "Place Tags" properly, placing all of the US cities under appropriate states under "United States of America".  Then it began creating a whole separate list of place tags under "United States".  So now I have two lists going and doing so automatically.  Then it recently inappropriatly added 2 Texas cities underneath "California".  What is going on?  Any way to merge these two lists?  Or correct what is happening?  Any way to reorder the cities within a list alphabetically?  It seems others have had this issue with no resolutions presented.  

Hi, I have a Nikon Z7 II and bougt a new version 2021 of Elements and I need to have a new Camera Raw to support my pictures. Where can I find it? I can't do any upgrades under " Help/Updates" in Elements since it's shadowed.  Please advice.   Kind regards, Ronny

 I have Photoshop Elements 2021 on my mac computer. after the update i get a message that the photo has a 16 bit layer and it is not supported by Photoshop Elements. before the update i never had any problems with this. 

I appear to be having inttermittent issues with facial recognition in 2021 Adobe Elements.  There are three different senerios that I have seen.1.  After opening Elements and importing new photos I see a message that the system is analyizing my faces (can't recall exact message in lower right corner).  After it is done I open a photo and have "Is this Joe Smith".  Everything works as it should.2.  Same as number 1. until I open the photo.  Now I get "Add Name" even on photos that I know the system has reconized the face.3.  After opening Elements I never see the message.  One of two things happen when I open a photo.  Either I get "Add Name" or I get a message that facial analysis has not been run.  If I select run it I keep going in circles; after waiting I try to add a name and the message comes back up. In all 3 cases, before I open Elements I ensure that my system is not busy with other process.  I understand facial analys
