Photoshop Elements

I have new laptop and can’t install Adobe Photoshop Elements 2022 on it. Help from Adobe does not resolve the problem. It gets to 87% and then ‘The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCR120.dll was not found’

I have a paid copy of Adobe Photoshop elements 2019, but in 2026 I am unable to install it on any os or hardware. I have tried my intel windows laptop (originally had it on it but I clean installed it and installed a newer version of windows at the same time and can no longer reinstall), a windows 10 and 11 virtual machine in it, a windows 10 and 11 virtual machine on my newer MacBook Pro, and even on my AMD Gaming PC and they all do the same thing; you double click the installer, hit yes on windows UAC (the do you want to allow this program to make changes to your device popup), then it has a blue adobe creative cloud style loading circle for a few seconds before going to a plain white screen and then doing nothing.  I have spent hours trying to find any form of support article, or offline installer, and I have found there is an offline installer which theoretically would still work, but adobe doesnt have it on their website any more, and the only way I could get it would be to have t

Hello. I am wondering if its possible to install photoshop elements 12 on my computer or if the adobe sign in servers dont work for photoshop elements 12 ?? Is it possible to still use software i paid for?? 

When using the ‘Save As’ option to save an image as a PNG, the save operation appears to successfully complete without any errors. However, no PNG file is saved to the specified folder on disk.  The only other meaningful observation is that we don’t see an interim save PNG dialog after pressing the ‘Save’ button as we might with a JPEG file.  Saving as a JPEG file works fine, but there is also an interim dialog asking for preferences regarding quality and so forth.We need to save images as PNG files to save the transparent backgrounds.  Any suggestions as to why we cannot save the images in PNG file format?

Not sure what I did

I have a question regarding the Organizer (Photoshop Elements 2026 - Windows 11). I am having a lot of trouble with the folder structure hierarchy,. I purchased Elements 2026 last year and installed it on a new computer. I restored the catalog but I think I clicked keep original folder structure, or something to that effect. It seems that my photos are stored in two locations, which is not what I want. This is the current folder structure: C:/Users/Myname/Documents/Pictures/Adobe/My Catalog 20251130/Users/My Name (original Computer user name)/Pictures/Adobe. All the photos can be found in explorer under Adobe in either path. But if I change the name of a folder within the Organizer program, it only changes the name in the second Adobe Folder. The first Adobe folder is where I add new photos etc. How can I safely move the catalog so that it only recognizes the first Adobe folder. 80,000 photos and I do not want to lose tags or any work done up to this point. I want t to operated out of

Hoi. Zojuist “PhotoshopElements_2023_LS30_win64” gekocht maar krijg het niet geinstaleerd. Alle opties geprobeerd maar dit gaat niet werken voor de normale burger. :) Graag wil ik mijn aankoop annuleren maar dat lijkt ook doolhof te zijn. Waar kan ik terecht hiervoor om de aankoop teniet te doen. Te annuleren.PS: leuk detail is dat op de site staat dat ik 2026 koop maar onder de downloadknop zit 2023 versie ?Dank. 

In PSE2026, when a photo is edited (quick or full) any People tags are deleted.How can I stop this happening?

I tried to import my photos to elements 2025 from organiser in elements 2014 but it said I had 500000 images (not true) and took 48hrs to load them. None of my albums moved across and Im left with lots of duplicates and not at all organised. Also when I try to scroll through them the program keeps quitting. I have a new macbook air.

I recently purchased the Adobe Photoshop Express (APE) 2024 version. I noticed that whenever I edited my photos using the APE 2024, the Auto Smart Fix tool under the Enhance Menu wasn’t working.  What this means is that it doesn’t do anything when you use this tool.  I also found out that when I tried to save the photo as a JPG file, you cannot choose the Preview option so you can see the resulting file size when you select any particular Picture Quality level. My only recourse is to choose a particular Picture Quality level and go to the particular directory to see what the resulting saved file size would be.  It would  be too cumbersome to do this because I am used to my Adobe Photoshop Elements 2020 version where it automatically shows what the resulting file size would be if you choose a particular Picture Quality level. I reported this software bug on the APE 2024 version to the Adobe Technical Support.  I reported that the Auto Smart Fix tool wasn’t

Elements 2026 under Windows 11. I have my original images on an external drive copied from my iphone. I use icloud as a backup but keep getting duplicates showing in my organiser. How do I avoid this?

Photoshop Elements 2026 is running much slower than the 2025 version on my iMac. Are other people finding the same problem?   Mel   [Typo fixed by moderator]

There are numerous posts about the font size of previous versions being too small. I have tried the suggestions and found that I can increase the font size using Edit/Preferences/Display & Cursors and changing the UI Scale Factor. However, the font is so large that the tools run off the screen (example attached). It would be nice if the scaling factor had some other options (like 125%, 150%, etc.). I thought the font size in Elements 2024 was a little small but found it useable. Why is the font size in Elements 2025 even smaller? Samples attached. How can I get the 2025 verion font sizes the same as the 2024 version?

Is Elements version 12 compatible with Windows 11? I recently installed my downloaded version and it caused my entire computer (new) to crash and I had to restore it. 

When a photo is edited using the Photoshop Editor, the Organizer displays a modified timestamp after saving. One hour is added to it. As a result, the edited photo appears in the wrong position within the Organizer. However, in Windows Explorer, the "Date Taken" field continues to display the correct time.If I delete the edited photo from the catalog and then re-import it, the photo is sorted into the correct position in the Organizer, and the actual capture time is displayed once again.Consequently, up until now, I have had to correct the time after every photo editing using the "Change Date and Time" button.How can I avoid this extra effort?For the past six months, I have been using:Elements Organizer 26.0.0.0Prior to this, I worked with Photoshop Elements 2021 and did not encounter this problem.Regards, Barbara

Please restore the ability to save an edited image without recourse to the ‘Save as...’ option in the menu.

I downloaded the Elements 12 installer from my account's list of Registered Products and installed the program. On starting the Editor function the program required me to sign in, which I did but still could not open the Editor - another "Required sign in" pops up.

On hard disk I have a folder “Animals” with sub-folders e.g. “Kitties,” “Birds,” “Mammals,” etc. I want to create an Album for each of these. Directions in online Help say:*choose folder from My Folders list;*right click folder, select “Create instant album.” thumbnails should appear. But only 3 or 4 out of 25 or so appear;How to make this work to include all photos?  *

I have a subscription to PSE 2025, as well as a work account with a subscription to Creative Cloud. I can see my subscription to PSE but I cannot open the app without getting a message stating that my trial is over and I can either subscribe or quit the app. I think the problem is multiple accounts. In addition to the one I’m posting from, I have one with the login and username of **************, as well as my work account. I’m hoping somebody can help me consolidate the two “personal accounts”(i.e. not the work ones). Every time I need to use PSE, there’s some kind of a sign-in hassle. Can anyone please advise? Thank you very much.  [Personal Information removed by moderator]

I created my Organizer Folder tree on Dropbox and have an extensive one. Now, when.I move an import to a folder in my folder tree, it adds the new folder and image to its own cloud so I have two separate folder systems. I don’t want anything saved to adobe cloud, just my own dropbox. Please advise.

I want to try Photoshop Elements 2025 to see if it will meet my needs before I buy it.

I created some stacks so that I could take a closer look at some of the visually similar photos and decide which ones I wanted to keep.  However, I can’t figure out how to examine the stacks as they just show the first photo (even after clicking on the first photo).All I really want to do is remove the “stacks” designation, but the help for this indicates I must go to Layers/Smart Objects/Stack Mode/ and change to None.  I located Layers in the PE Editor, but it didn’t include anything about Smart Objects.Needless to say, I am confused and don’t know what I did wrong.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
