I couldn't find an answer specifically to this question in the forum. The previous version of Elements I used was 4.0. I just bought the 2019 version. When I open a file that I created in 4.0 with layers in 2019 opens as a flattened image. I cannot make any modifications to layers any longer. Are there any workarounds for this? Thanks.

There should be no difference between PSE4 and PSE 2019 about file types.
Image formats supporting layers like .PSD and .TIFF work the same.
The jpeg format does not support layers.
Both PSE 4 and PSE 2019 do support layers on 8-bits images. If you have 16-bits layered files, you are prompted to choose between opening with layers in 8-bits or without layers in a flattened 16-bits version.
