Photoshop Elements

I would like to clear the cache in PSE 2022. I have read on the forums that I can navigate through File Explorer to the cache and manually clear it or go through Preferences in Elements. I have a screenshot of what I'm seeing in Elements and wondering which cache to clear? Do I clear everything under Common or one of the specific folders under that (Media Cache, Media Cache Files, or Peak Files)? Likewise, what will I loose in terms of function by clearing the cache. Thanks! My goal in clearing my cache is to be able to upload HEIC files I'm having issues with and to clean up any unnecessary junk. 

I used to be able to create a panorama easily in PSE 11. Can I do it in PSE 2022? If so, how? PSE Help told me to go to File>Automate>Photomerge, but Automate does not exist as a choice under File in my PSE 2022. There is a grayed-out choice for "Automation Tools," but that is unavailable to me. As a work-around, I've been taking my picture files on a USB drive to an older (and crankier) computer that still has PSE 11 installed, but it's painfully slow. This is SO frustrating! What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help. 

I have installed my disc version of Elements 12 on a new PC but when I try to access via the installed desktop shortcut and click on Photo Editor within the software it sends me to the Adobe sign in page with QR code and weblink... I use the link and sign into my Adobe account but nothing happens thereafter and I am unable to access PS Elements... any help would be much appreciated 

I just sent a Report to Adobe about a particular PS Elements 2021 problem that popped up immediately after a very recent iMAC update from Sonoma 14.6.1 to Sequois 16.3.2. The Elements app seems to have been completely wiped from the Applications folder in my iMAC. I mentioned that I was able to re-install/re-activate the Elements 2021's Editor module via the original installation disc. The Editor is working quite OK now.  But I was not able to re-install the Organizer and Video Editor modules. Error messages from attempts at both stated that, if PS Elements 2021 doesn't run after the Sequoia update, I should bring the problem to the attention of the Elements developer(s). Unfortunately, the message gave no contact info for whatever developer(s) it was talking about. It's confusing that the AI response I got back from my Report was that there's nothing they can do to fix the Editor problem. I don't know how they could have misinterpreted my Report that the Editor is working OK

I found this for Photoshop, looking for similar for PSE v8 to v15"photographyuncapped.com/comparison-of-adobe-photoshop-versions-−-what-are-the-differences-cs6-cs5-cs4-cs3-extended/adobe-cs6/"

i recently installed photoshop elements 2025 upgrade from 2021. installed ok, but when i opened it, there is no layer panel and all the menus are greyed out.. what is going on?  using windows 11 

As I have some troubles with my Photoshop Elements 2021 after I updated to a new MacBook Air M1 and running Mac OS Sequoia 15.3.2, i wonder if the problems is that it simply not can run on that operation system?Any one knows? 

I'm using PSE 15.  I just purchased a new Canon EOS 90D.  Apparently this camera uses Adobe Camera RAW 3 files, and PSE 15 won't recognize or import these files.  Is upgrading to PSE 2025 the answer?  Thanks

In a fb page about photoshop elements a user posted the image below.  What's interesting is that I completed a simliar survey, which was obviously from Adobe.A big clue that this is a scam is the part about "created by yahoo mail"-  I highly doubt Adobe would use that. SO WADDA THINK, A SCAM?   . 

The icon and menu text (2mm) is so small I can't see them. I use Photoshop elements 2022 on a 14" PC with a resolution 2240 x 1400, Windows 11.I tried to enlarge them Edit/Preferences/Display & Cursors, UI Scale factor to 200% but then they are too big and I can't see all the icons. It is impossible to scroll down to see them.  My earlier version of photoshop was ok on a 13.3” PC. Now it is impossible to use photoshop. Is there a way to set them to ex. 150% (like in older versions) or another way to do this? I can see on the photoshop community that there is many users that have the same problem.

Havent opened premier elements, photoshop and organizer for at least a year. 2022 version 20.0I wanted to make a present for my daughters birthday by importing over 100 pictures of her into video timeline and doing stuff with it. Using people tab in organizer I was able to bring up all the photos I wanted. However I coldnt figure out how to add them to a timeline. When using timeline and clicking add medai and then clicking organizer it shows a condensed version where the tabs are missing i.e. people tab. Looking at manual online is pretty much hopeless, using AI had suggestions but it didnt work, A remote assistance from Adobe support said it couldnt be done (for real) which I absolutely dont beilieve and Im guessing its an easy fix. As I kept on experimenting I not only couldnt figure it out but 2 new problems developed where organizer keeps freezing and the pictures that I wanted to create something with completely disappeared from organizer under the people tab??? I have 3 question

Bonjour!Je tente d'ouvrir l'éditeur video de Photoshop Eleemnts 2024, et à toutes les fois, il me dirige vers un lien pour tester Phtoshop Elements 2025.   Des solutions?   [Moved to the Photosohop Elements form]  

Is there a way to make "Save for Web" NOT replace spaces in the filename iwht dashes?  That is infuriating as the save for web interface is much easier to work with than doing a Save As for other filetypes, but I hate having to rename everything it creates wrong because it doesnt like a space or character and rplaces it with a dash. Im on version Photoshop Elements 2020, but I suspect solutions for any recent version is probably similar.Thanks!

When I try to save the file as a web file, the preview is not ligned up on the view screen.  You can't see the entire file.  It hasn't happened before and I cannot find anything on the help menu.  Has this happened to anyone?Using PSE 2025

Unlike the earlier versions of PSE that I have been using (11 and 14), I find that when I increase canvas size with  Image | Resize, PSE 2025 generates a new layer which I then have to flatten if I only want one layer (to save as JPEG, say).  It's running on Windows 11.I would like to prevent that auto-creation of a layer; is there a setting for this?

In Elements 2020 the Depth of Field Simple tool in Guided mode does not seem to work as advertised.  Click Simple, Click Add Blur.  Ok.  Now the problem.  When I Add Focus Area and click and drag, the result is the opposite of what I would expect.  The blurry area is where my point and click began, in the middle of my subject.  I have watched tutorials and seen how you can repeatedly click and drag away From the middle of a subject you wish to keep in focus.  Don't know what I could possibly be doing wrong but this does just not work for me.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

How do I stop Elements creating a folder called Adobe in my Documents folder? Why doesn't Adobe make it easy to find the answer? I've been going round the forums and replies and still can't find anywhere that tells me how to stop Adobe invading my privacy

I backed up Photoshop Elements 21 (?) images and catalog to local NAS from a desktop windows 10 computer. Installed Photoshop Elements 21 (?) then copied the backup.tly to a laptop windows 10 and restored to the laptop. All worked great, copying all the images and folders to the laptop and preserving all my albums. Until going mobile, then all the photos show as disconnected. Apparently, despite the fact that the restore copied all the files to the laptop, it is still loading the images from the NAS (confirmed by looking at the properties within PSE). How do I get the catalog to connect to the local images? I have used earlier versions of photoshop elements. Everything on the laptop indicates it is photoshop elements 21 but querying the program indicates is is 19.0.0.0. Core and language version 19.0 (20210807.m.158016) Is this 21 or 19? 

My Adobe Photoshop Elements 2025 keeps freezing when I use the paint brush feature on a PC.

I can move the image around in A4 but when I reduce to A5 to make a greeting card, I cannot move the image and blue box up the page

How can I add Pixelmator Pro as an additional editor in Elements Organizer? I only see one option - Show Photoshop Elements Editor options only - and cannot disable it.

I have been running PE 15 on my Windows 10 PC since 2017. I was not able to upgrade to Winddows 11 on that PC so I got a new Windows 11 PC. I am now installing PE 15 on this new machine. During the installation I got a message that "PX Engine can't run on this device". The installation then completed satisfactorily. I have read that PX Engine is related to burning DVDs. If I will not be burning any DVDs on my Windows 11 PC, is it OK to continue to use PE15?
