Photoshop Elements

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer 2024. No matter what I do, I am not able to stop the Auto Creation code from launching in the background, consuming 100% of PC resources. I tried to check it off in the preferences and removed it from the startup. Nothing stopped this useless for me, but I was heavy on resource code from running. Please help.

I recently updated my late 2014 Mac mini to Monterey 12.7.6 and since then Photoshop elements 12 crashes. The first time elements opened and allowed me to add text to a photo. It crashed when i tried to save the project. Now it will launch but crash when I click anywhere on the screen.  I have checked SECURITY & PRIVACY > ACCESSIBILITY and Photoshop Elements is still ticked. Any clues or help to resolve this would greatly appreciated .   [Mod: Moved to the Photoshop Elements forum]  

I've been using Elements 12 along with Photoshop CS6 by selecting a photo in Elements' Organizer and then tapping the Ctrl + H keys. Using this shortcut would immediately load Photoshop and the image would appear for editing. This worked great. A year+ ago I upgraded my PS CS6 to Photoshop 2024 and the Ctrl + H shortcut stopped working. So, does anyone know if this shortcut works using a newer version of Elements? I would upgrade my Elements in a flash if I knew the shortcut had been restored. 

I need to increase the size of the words on the task bar so I can see them.  Can someone tell me how to do this?  TYIA

How do I stop these annoying pop-ups, bottom left of the workspace, trying to sell further photoshop enhancements?

When using Magnetic Lasso how do I stop it jumping across picture instead of following the course I am trying to lasso? It appears to guess what I am trying to do and lasso's portion I do not want to be included. I then have to delete portion and try again to lasso what I want. It then ofter jumps again without me moving the mouse. I use an iMac 2024 M3 with Sequoia 15.0.1 OS.

I've heard/read that Photoshop Elements 2025 does not work on WIN PCs. Is this true? I have the .exe file for 2021 but was unable to fully install it. I would love to have the 2025 version instead. Any/all suggestions/advice is appreciated! RochelleM

I use the dimensions 560 px by 420 px almost exclusively, and Elements used to remember them. Now I see them when I open the first file, but as soon as I open a second file they change to the dimensions of the new file. Is there a way to stop this change from taking place, like Elements used to work?Please see attached.

Older versions of Photoshop elements had a posterize filter. It was so simple and adjustable. Now this filter is missing, and the ones available are clunky and not very adjustable. Is there some way to apply a similar effect in the current version? This filter used to separate areas of a picture into flattened shapes   [Moving from generic Start/Help forum to the specific Program forum...

PSE 2021 I thoughr I could use layers to select subject, apply edit to it on separate layer, background unchanged. But frustration, bc saved image file makes backround transparent. This seems wicked since image on screen, with background layers visible, does not reveal it! You would never know you have not saved complete image with backround until you open it in another program.Web for help is useless bc 100% of posts are about REMOVING background. I don't want to remove it!So I'm thinking this does not behave like all other selections do. Very different & no warning. Is this "intelligent" -- artificial or otherwise?Color me Red.

Premiere funktioniert tadenlos aber Photoshop öffnet angeblich aber leider passiert hier nicht weiteres außer das es läd und dann wieder aufhört. Vielen Dank im Voraus.

Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer (Elements Organizer 24.0.0.0)Der Organizer funktioniert auf mein HP Envy 27 All in One 27 und zuvor auf dem Acer Notebook nicht fehlerfrei.Auf beiden PCs ergibt sich das gleiche Fehlerbild.In der Datenbank des Organizer befinden sich ca. 40.000 Bilder, ein Fotoarchiv von 1998 bis 2024.Den Organizer nutze ich schon ca. seit 2005.In den letzten 2 Versionen des Organizers hatte ich schon diese Funktionsprobleme, sowohl auf den Acer Notebook V17 Nitro Black Edition mit Windows 10 Home CPU Intel I7 mit 8GB Ram bis 2022 und ab 2022 nun auch mit dem neueren HP Envy All in One 27 mit Windows 11 Home CPU Intel I9 64GB RAM.Das Verhalten vom Organizer war und ist auf beiden Rechnern identisch.Fehlfunktion bei „Fehlende Dateien neu verbinden“Nach dem die auf gelisteten fehlenden Dateien gelöscht wurden erscheint eine Fehlermeldung mit dem Hinweis „Fehlerbericht senden“ danach wird das App-Fenster des Organizers automatisch geschlossen.Fehlfunktion bei der Vorscha

First... I'm working with Windows 11 and Photoshop Elements 2024 (just bought it).Here's what I want to do:I want to select a brush and have it slightly auto rotate with a successive key tap. So for example, the second tap of my keyboard key would rotate the first brush stroke by say 15 degrees (or whatever degree I set).  I've been reading and watching videos for an hour and it looked like something called "angle jitter" would do it. But I can't find anything like that. There is a "hue jitter" but I'm not looking to change the color or shade of the brush. I just want it to auto rotate slightly from the exact same point as the initial brush stroke. I'm sure this is something really simple but for the life of me I can't find it. Help please!

I've used Photoshop since version 2.5 and now, one of the simplest things, I can't find any way to see the color selected by the Eyedropper tool. In photoshop, there was always an indicator in tools that showed the line and the fill color.When you used the eyedropper, the color in the box was displayed, and you knew what color the brushes etc. were using. I'm using 200% for the UI because I'm using a 34" UHD monitor.I have looked online and at several sites but don't find anyway to display the color in the interface?It can't be that hard, but I just don't see it!Mike 

I worked up a file in the Expert mode, then did a vignette in the Guided mode (if you have a tip on how to do a good vignette in the Expert mode I'm all ears). I saved the file in Guided mode and got a popup asking me something (that I can't remember) and when the file opened back up in Expert mode I had severely dsyfucntional functionality. Any idea what may have happened? Perhaps I should've done the vignette in Guided mode first? Any way to get functionality back in Expert mode for that particular .psd? Thanks.

For reasons beyond me, when I go to Filter in the Editor, it suddenly wasn't showing Photo AI but initially was still showing Sharpen and Denoise. Now, I saw there was an update today so thought maybe that was the culprit. I have now updated Photo AI but when I go to Filter in Editor, it is not showing any of the plugins!! No Photo AI, no DeNoise and no Sharpen!! Any ideas on how to fix this? I count on using all three of them within Elements 23.

I have posted my backup problem here already and received no help.  I have "chatted" for 3 hours with Adobe tech support about the problem and they are so far unable to help.  I have a MacBook Pro (M1) running OS 15.1 (Sequoia).  I have Adobe Elements 2023 core version 21.1.  I can do a full catalog backup on the internal Mac disk but PSE crashes every time I try to backup to an external SSD.  Since I am having so much difficulty with this problem and I am very uncomfortable with having only an internal disk backup, I want to try a work-around.  I have copied a successful backup file from the internal disk to the external SSD and I want to try it and see if it will restore correctly.  I do not have another computer to try this on so I will have to use the same Mac.  I have plenty of disk space on the Mac so that will not be a problem, I am just worried about losing or corrupting my current catalog in the process.  My question: Can I create a

Hallo liebe Community,  ich wollte heue auf meinem Windows 11 Rechner Photoshop Elements 24 installieren, leider hat sich hier ein Problem ergeben, welches ich bisher nicht lösen konnte: Sobald ich das Installationsprogramm öffne (geladen aus meiner Adobe ID) und die Installation von Windows akzeptiert habe, öffnet sich mein Browser zur Authentifizierung. Soweit sogut, ich logge mich ein und im Browser steht, dass ich das Fenster schließen kann, jedoch erkennt der Installer die Anmeldung nicht und wartet weiterhin auf Authentifizierung "Zum Browser wechseln". Der Hyperlink "melden Sie sich hier an", falls die Anmeldung per Browser nicht klappt, lässt sich nicht anklicken und damit passiert nichts.  Ich habe es bereits mit mehreren Standard-Browsern versucht (Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera), Cookies gelöscht, den Verlauf gelöscht, Pop-Ups aktiviert etc. aber ich komme einfach nicht weiter.  Ich habe den Installer auf einem anderen Rechner ausprobiert, hi

I'm trying to install the free version of Nik Collection in PSE 2024. I downloaded the collection and copied all the 8bf files into the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2024\Plug-Ins directory. When I open PSE, it gives an error message:Plug-ins that failed to load:Color Efex Pro 4 NO VERSION - - from the file “Color Efex Pro 4.8bf” Other Nik plugins (like analog efex, viveza etc) show up ok in PSE. Any idea why color efex Pro isn't working? Thanks.

Not sure how I did it but I seem to have lost my brush setting I had for my signature. Not sure how to find it again or if it is gone forever! Can someone tell me where to look or remind me how to make a new one?

Window 11, 64bit, Photoshop Elements 2023, I have a regeistered serial number: I downloaded an said it was installed successfully. No icon to open. looked for the .exe in the folder it did not open. I need the software for work. Help me please!!

I recently downloaded 2025 Photoshop Elements and when i was asked to convert my earlier photo folders to 2025, I declined thinking that i could do that later. I was using a 2021 Elements version. When i opened 2025 Organizer, no photo folders were there. i tried to remove the 2025 Elements so i could reinstall thinking that i would again be asked to convert my older folders, but it doesn't ask and 2025 Organizer opens with no photo folders. i can't find a drop down in 2025 Organizer to get these folders from my 2021 Organizer. Am i missing something? Do i have to go to my photo folders on my hard drives and now import them? It seems like there should be a way that 2025 Organizer can mirror my 2021 Organizer??? All help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hello everyone,I am currently trying to install Photoshop Elements 2025 with the installer PhotoshopElements_2025_LS30_win64.exe. After starting, authentication takes place on the Adobe site (using Adobe ID) with the check via the Account Access App. The login is confirmed and I am asked to close the window. The installation should now continue automatically in the installer. However, this does not happen, nothing happens. The link in case the browser does not respond does not work either (nothing happens when I click on it, even clicking +ctrl did not help).  It seems that the transfer of authentication to the installer fails. I then tried the following:- Start the installer programme as administrator- Switch off the anti-virus programme- Switching browsers (Firefox, Chrome and Edge)- Enabling the Adobe page in the browser for pop-ups etc.Nothing helped. Does anyone have any other ideas? Notes on the system:Win 11 pro 64, 23H2 Build 22631.4391Intel 12700k, NVIDIA Geforce 307
