When I go File -> Open the window has thumbnails for JPEGS and icons for PS files.

If I select a PSD file it says No preview available.

In my previous versions of PE preview of PSD was always there.

How do I enable it in PE 2018?

Are you viewing in the Organizer or Windows Explorer?

Is it on the same computer as your old version of Photoshop Elements?

Windows doesn't have the ability to display PSD thumbnails natively.

I use this utility:

MysticThumbs - Image thumbnails for Windows Explorer.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, on the same computer as the old versions (V 9 and 11).

As a matter of fact, I still have both older versions on the machine and the preview for PSD files still works with them.

I think you misunderstood my question.

I stated in the title Elements 2018, so I could not be in Windows Explorer.

Since I described File - Open that means I am in Editor.

No, you perfectly described what you did:

The command "File >> Open" in the editor opens a window in the Windows Explorer. You are in the Explorer.

Note that if you are using the organizer you don't have any problems, the thumbnails for psd files are created as before.
