Photoshop Elements

Using PS Elements 2024. When I paint in a layer mask I can choose the transparency. Typically I might select say 50% or whatever.  Now I want to use the brush tool to paint an area with multiple strokes and want to keep the maximum transparency at 50% Is there a way to do this in PS Elements? As soon as I let go of the mouse the brush will start to paint over the previously painted area.  So Unless I can do it all in one stroke I cannot succees. I want to paint in a specific area with multiple strokes to max out at a specific transparency.  Typically i might miss a part and need to use multiple strokes to fill in the holes.  Your advice would be appreciated. Kind regardsChris 

Is there a technique to make the bright sunlit striped portions of the photo blend in with the parts in shadow?  (see a.jpg)   I've tried dodge/burn, color replacement, etc., and they don't seem to apply to the white areas. Thanks much. 

Question 1) How Can I Copy Paste The White Balance Setting On The Other Photos? Question 2) Can I do It on multiple images at once? (For example 10-20 images at once) How?

I just converted my catalog from PE 2021 to 2024.  Everything seems to be working well.  Except that when I run Reconnect missing files, the program runs thru all my directories to try to reconnect some missing files.  But when I click "Browse", there are no missing files shown in the window for reconnecting.  When I run Find Missing Files, it finds none.  When I ran repair catalog, it found nothing to repair.  I said repair anyway.  But it still tries to find missing files when I run reconnect missing files.  There would be no problem if I did not run reconnect.  But this certainly extends the time to do a catalog backup, since it automatically runs reconnect missing files before moving to other steps in the backup process.  Any suggestions to make it stop?

I recently installed Photoshop Elements 2024. Now, in Organizer, after import of a file I only see some af the imported phostos!Why is this happening? What can I do to make sure the entire folder loads correctly?BR Fritz P.

Hi, I understand why to a point but I can't find a way to download a trial, or even buy a version like 7.0 to do the conversion from PSA to PSE catalogs. Please see here the differences: Catalog differences between versionsThere are some differences between the various versions of the Elements Organizer and Photoshop Album. These differences include changes to the location of catalogs, to the catalog database format, and to catalog filenames.Elements Organizer, versions 6 and laterPhotoshop Elements Organizer, versions 3, 4, and 5Photoshop Album 1 and 2, and Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3Elements Organizer, versions 6 and laterDefault catalog locationNote: In the Catalog Manager, you can select to store and retrieve catalog files different locations. Choose Catalogs Accessible By All Users (default for Windows only), Catalogs Accessible By Current User (default for Mac), or a Custom Location.Mac OSCurrent User: /Users/[Your User Name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Elements

My photos synchronize automatically from my smartphone to my PC. Many images however are smartphone screenshots or photos I took with the smartphone of documets that I intended to use temporarily. All these images clutter my Pictures' library and I don't seem to be able to find a way to delete them all. I did find a way to delete screenshots by searching images by specific dimensions and under a certail size, but some pictures of documents or computer monitors that were not meant to be stored I cannot locate altogether. There are a few iPhone apps that do find images that contain text, but that is too late to use if the files are transferred to my PC. I cannot find any Windows app that does that. Is there a way to use Adobe Elements Organizer to find photos that contain text or just bad pictures in general? 

While editing some, but not all jpg images in PS Elements, there are flashing lines - a distortion in the image.  It does not affect the saved jpg but is annoying while editing.  Here's a screen shot of it.  The jpg is a shot of the bar code on the back of a book and the unwanted artifact appears on the upper two thirds of the image and is flashing on and off.  Anyone know what causes this and how to end it? 

Just installed Elements 2024 two days ago an every time I start the organizer I get a crash report. It happens again during editing but it does not stop me from editing. I do not know how to interpret the data. I've pasted a copy of the report below. Can someone help fix this. Every time I get the report I send to Adobe, must be at least 20 times, but have not heard back. Is there a way to contact support directly?

I had to do a reset on my Windows 11 computer and I am in the process of reinstallling all of my applications.  When I attempt to install Photoshop and Premiere Elements 2023, I get error 183 which Adobe troubleshooting states is fairly generic.  I have gone through the troubleshooting steps and still getting error 183.   I downloaded fresh .exe installs from Adobe.  I tried those and my original install files - same result.  I have rebooted my computer several times and current on all windows updates.  I even ran the DISM and SFC thinking there were system file corruption or missing.   I read something elsewhere about these products needing the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable so I compared what I currently have to what I had before the windows reset and there are some missing; however, there are no clear answers I can find as to what is required.  I don't want to start installing unnecessary programs to find that it doesn't fix th

Earlier this year I upgraded to Elements 24 from Elements 22. It’s installed on MacBook Pro with an M3 Pro chip, 18 GB memory and operating on Sonoma 14.4.1.  I’m unable to mark faces on any new photos (although I can mark faces on photos that were in my library prior to upgrading).  When I attempt to mark a face, I get the pop-up “people analysis is yet to be performed on the selected media” and when I start the analysis, the “analyzing your media” pop-up appears, but immediately crashes/stops.  I’ve tried restoring the catalogue from a backup and uninstalling and reinstalling Elements, but neither has fixed the issue.

Trying to move a copy of my catalog from my old PC to my brand new  Windows 11 laptop.  About 25 gb of photos were copied onto a brand new Sandisk external hard drive.  When I try to import in PSE 24, it finds something less than 400 photos,  not the tens of thousands that were copied onto my removable drive.  Can anyone tell me what's going on?  Also, the only photos were mostly Jpegs, but it looks like they've been copied over into new formats, including Jsons.  Is that normal?  Thanks in advance for any help.

For at least 4 years, I have been importing photos from my D7200's SD card using a card reader and they went into the dated folder in the catalog on my permanent storage disk.  Recently, the import puts thumbnails of the photos in the catalog making me think I have them permanently stored.NO SUCH THING!It has stopped moving them to my hard drive and continues to reference them on the SD card/card reader.I thought they were saved.  When I cleaned my SD card, I lost the photos of my new born grandson.  The thumbnails still appeared in Organizer, but the real files were gone.I am just about to get rid of Elements/Organizer. I have tried everything I can think of without success to correct what I think is a fatal flaw.  My preferences are set up to move the imported files to my hard disk (which is regularly backed up) but I doesn't do what it says.Any help would be appreciated.Bob S.Corvallis, OR

Since there is no free trial option in the Microsoft Store for Photoshop Elements 2024, I can't try this feature, so I'd like to ask the community is anyone has experience with this. What I'd like to know is if you can launch the PE 2024 Editor directly with a pinned icon on the tray, instead of launching the "home screen". With the version downloaded from the Adobe website, this can be done - you can simply pin the Editor on the tray and it will start. However, I don't know if the Microsoft Store works exactly the same or not (since that's a Windows app, it installs differently in a different location, etc). The reason I ask is because the Microsoft Store version in my region is way more affordable than the one on Adobe's website (73.88 Euros with discount vs 105.40 Euros), so it really matters where I'd buy it. Also, as my computer launches PE relatively slowly, avoiding the "home screen" means a lot of saved time in my case. So it would be really helpful if someone could t

Hi,Newbie to this app here!I recently made some signage on illustrator with multiple hands, which I would like moving up and down at an angle for a digital advertisement.Can I do this on Elements? I tried the 'moving elements' tool but I don't think its right for what I am trying to achieve. Help please! TIA

Ok, I am the least tech savvy person out there so please be patient with my question. Years back I purchased Elements 14 at best buy, have used it ever since then no issues. Last night I had issues restarting my laptop, and I know this is bad but it seriously did not want to turn off so i held the power button down. Turned it back, everything seemed fine then when I tried opening Photoshop Elements 14 it wanted me to sign in despite me always being signed in. It was late and I did not remember my password so I just went to bed and made sure to restart my laptop the proper way. A day later I'm trying to use it and it still was having me sign in despite me always being logged in, didn't remember my password so I reset it. Went through all the verifications with phones and emails etc was able to do it. Signed in and then it's still saying its a trial! I purchased it and i have no idea where my serial number is! Anyone have solutions?

Cannot install Photoshop Elements 20.0 and Premiere Elements 19.0 Windows 11. I previously purchsed both.   <Image with both serial numbers removed by moderator>      

I have a full backup of Photoshop Elements 10 which was running under Windows 10.  I have the serial number for the software.  Can I just purchase a newer version of Photoshop Elements, install it on the newer PC running Windows 11 and restore the backup?  Will a backup from such an old version of Photoshop Elements restore correctly into a much newer version of the software?  

Hi I have a new computer and I have been asked for a redeem code to access my Elements. I have 2021 Boxed CD. What is this code? thanks

Photoshop läßt sich nicht installieren. Fehlercode 111 (siehe Anlage). Auch deinstallieren und Neuinstallation hilft nicht. Was jetzt?   [Mod: Moved to the appropriate Photoshop Elements forum]    

As shown in this Youtube video, what must I select to make the individual markers move along randomly on Adobe Color wheel. In my case all the markers are moving along if I click on one. The only way I could select the opposite color is by changing into Complementary.Please helpThanks
