Hi,

 

Could you please share the steps you are doing when you get the message. Does this appear while opening 16 bit images or in other scenerio?

Please share a screenshot of the message that appear.

Could you post the exact words of the error message? Maybe embbed a screenshot in your answer. Use the 11th icon on the top of your answer to include it in your answer.

From the beginning, Elements has never supported 16-bits layers. That has been officially stated by Adobe in an faq several years ago.

Generally, you get a warning to convert to 8-bits when you open files created with 16-bits layers in the full Photoshop.
