Photoshop Elements

The installation process (on WIN11) said that it could not find this file: vc_runtimeminimum_x86.msi, apparently an older C++ MS package. I searched and found it, but received the attached message. Please let me know where this MSI can be found.... MANY thanks!!! PS if it is required why is it not included? 🙂

  bonjour j ai achete photoshop elements 22 a telecharger sur un pc windows 11 sur cdiscount au marchand bigdestock chatelleraux france.  A la fin du telechargement on reclame une cle ou un code d'echange que je n'ai pas. le vendeur affirme que j'ai déjà téléchargé la version sans clé d'activation et que ma demande est abusive. S'agit il reellement d'une erreur de telechargement de ma part ou d'une version piratee Merci de votre aide.  

I'm hoping to avoid making a mess while moving a catalogue to my new Windows 11 computer from older W10. I have a full catalogue backup on external drive. But concerned that restoring might create duplicates, because nearly all the photos are already on the new computer, having been transferred when I was setting it up, with the same names and in folders with the same name on both. Everything should all match because they are synced in Dropbox. Will Restore detect that the files are identical and NOT make copies, or is there some trick to avoid 27K dupes, without deleting all the photos from the new computer?

Bonjour,Suite à des problèmes matériels qui m'ont obligé à repartir à zéro, j’ai dû réinstaller sur Windows 11 le produit Adobe PhotoShop Eléments 2022 que j’ai acheté et installé sans problème en novembre 2021. Mais la réinstallation, que j’ai tentée plusieurs fois, n’a pas abouti car une erreur « MSVCR120.dll » est survenue.Que dois-je faire pour pouvoir réinstaller Adobe PhotoShop Eléments 2022 ?Merci pour votre attention.

Is it a bad idea to combine ALL of my last 5 back up files into one HUGE file?I'm looking for ALL items in the catalog to be associated with only one file. Will this totally SCREW UP the entire file AND CATALOG?If not, will doing so delete multiples of duplicate files? Could this prevent the "searching for file" pop up? What concerns me is I had attempted to click on a photo and is disappeared from it's chronological spot in the current catalog. It MAY still be in there, but going through the 20,000 images is a task in itself. Thanks for any insight"Lost In NW Indiana"

Hi, I use Ps Elements 2025 and we need to save images and submit in Jpeg format.  If I save the image using the Save for Web function the jpeg image does not display the metadata.First shot below show Raw image detail, 2nd shot show Jpeg image with no detail, 3rd shot is the Save for Web screen.  The Save for web screen does not give the option to save all metadata.  How can I save a jpeg image to include the metadata, specifically in Ps Elements?  Would appreciate any guidance, thanks.  Gustav

I had to reset my computer. Now I have to import my photos from my backup drive. I am using Photoshop Elements 25. I have 200,000+ photos. Bulk import allows me to choose the file location but the import does not seem to be able to handle so many photos. How should I do it?

On my previous computer I had Elements 19. I have a new computer and I want to install Elements 25. My photos are stored on an external drive as they were when I was usin Element 19. Is the organization data preserved on the external drive, and will it be recognized by Elements 25?

I installed Camerara Raw 17.2 in Photoshop Elements 2025, it recognizes it, but it doesn't show me the new functions such as, for example, the one to remove reflections from images. Where am I wrong?  

Hello everyone,  I'm running Photoshop Elements 2025 on a 2021 MacBook Pro with Apple M1 chip. I have an external monitor connected to the MB.  When I open Elements, the screen opens on the external monitor and is "stuck" to the top of the monitor.  I cannot move Elements to my laptop screen, nor am I able to drag a corner or side of the screen to make it larger or smaller or change its shape.   All commands within Elements do what they should, but Elements itself doesn't respond to the dragging arrow.  The problem is present whether I use a mouse or the trackpad.  Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?  Thanks! 

Bonjour,j'ai acheté hier photoshop element mais je ne trouve pas le code d'activationde plus la version 2025 ne tourne pas sur mon mac, j'ai donc telechargé la version 2024comment faire?d'avance merci pour votre aide

I have always printed from Editor which is quick when making small adjustments between prints.  Now when I click on 'Print' in Editor the program freezes, I cannot procede and have to Ctrl-Alt-Del to close the screen. I can print from Organiser but  switching back and forth with Editor is tiresome.  I am not technical so expect there is nothing simple I can do to resolve this and restore things to the way I have worked for 15+ years.   I'm using Windows 365 on a new powerful laptop and a new Pixma printer so feel that the problem lies with Photoshop Elements. Anything easy I can do ?  or should I just resign myself to the reduced functionality ?

Camera Raw 17.0.0.2043 in Photoshop Elements 2025 has a non-functional (grayed-out) Preview deselect button: i.e. I cannot switch between the before and after Auto edit settings.However, if I replace the Camera Raw 17 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 25\File Formats" folder with the Photoshop Elements 2023 Camera Raw 15 "File Formats" folder I get a functional Preview deselect button.I had this same problem/solution with Photoshop Elements 2024.

I right click a photo and it shows the little hand; however, when I drag the little hand to a new location, nothing happens.  Thank you.  

Hallo zusammen, ich suche einen menschlichen deutschsprachigen Ansprechpartner, dem ich meine Probleme und die einzelnen Fehlermeldungen mitteilen kann.Auf die KI im chat kann ich gerne verzichten, der muss noch viel, viel lernen.Auch der Chat mit einem irgendwo auf dem Erdball sitzenden, halbwegs deutsch schreibenden Mitarbeiter schlug fehl, weil das Problem nicht richtig erkannt wurde.Es muss doch bei einem solch bedeutenden Unternehmen möglich sein, einen deutschsprachigen email-support zu erhalten - bei dem ich konkrete Fehler, auch als Bildschirmkopie, besprechen kann.  

Adobe Photoshop Elements 14.inkNo access permissions to the item. It appears that you do not have access permissions to the item. Ensure that you have the right permissions to allow this item to sync. How do I fix this error in OneDrive? I am using windows 10. It appeared after I edited a picture in photoshop and saved it to my pictures folder. 

How do I draw or place a colored border around a single image on a custom canvas with a white background that also contains other images?  How do I control the stroke and color of this frame?I prefer a frame with a stroke on the outside and blank on the inside that can overlay if possible on the image slightly to a colored layer under the image if this is possible in Elements?New to Elements and new to creating a custom canvas for a photo notecard in Elements.Working on Mojave iMac.Would appreciate step by step instruction for this. Still getting used to the tools and menus available and how to wrangle them under my control.Thank you.

I have an old version (ver 15) of Photoshop Elements.  It works for me and has a lot of custom plugins and other stuff (e.g. fonts, actions, etc) installed, so I would rather not upgrade to a new version.  Microsoft is requiring Windows 10 systems be upgraded to Windows 11 later this year (Oct 2025).  I'm worried there might be some problem with PSE after the Windows upgrade.   Do you think the Windows upgrade will affect PSE 15?  Thanks.

Si je comprend bien, je viens d'acheter un nouveau portable avec windows 11 et je ne pourrai pas retélécharcher mon photoshop elements dessus?

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/"
