Questions

Hi, I'm using Photoshop Elements 2023 and at some point, I did something that resulted in a huge list of .xmp and .jpg files at the root level of my 5T backup drive.  I think I did click on the prompt to backup my catalog, but I don't know if these files got to this location.  I also can't tell if I can delete these files to recover space on my backup drive.  The files are all dated the same and the .jpg files are actual photos.Do I need to re-import these files to Organizer?  There are so many that I am desperate to find a solution before I start trying to match these files with ones in my photo storage.Any help would be most appreciated.Thanks in advance,Bob S.

HI Everyone,I recently just downloaded Adobe Photoshop Element 2023 in English. Can anyone please help me how to change it to Dutch without reinstalling?  I am living in Netherlands and Dutch is better for me. Thank you in advance! 

Lately many of my photos are "missing".  They have a ? in the upper corner.  Some I have checked and the photos are present in my Pictures file but PS does not find them.  How do direct the "find" feature to look in the correct file?  The 'find photos' function is not very user friendly.

I purchased Photoshop elements and had it installed and running on two laptops. However, one of them I needed to reimage, hence deactivated, uninstalled and reimaged the laptop. I reinstalled Photoshop Elements but unable to activate it now with the serial number I retrieved from my account.  Funnily enough, I noticed that the other laptop where my instance is up and running since first install, I have not signed in and it is working fine in activated mode. I dare not try to sign in now lest I get the same error there. I tried contacting Adobe live agent help, but kept being transferred from agent to agent for 4-5 hrs to no avail. What should I do? 

Hallo zusammen Ich besitze das Programm Adobe Photoshop Elements 13, welches ich vor etlichen Jahren erworben habe.Dieses habe ich seither auf meinem PC und auf meinem Notebook installiert.Nun ist mein Notebook sehr alt und ich möchte es bald ersetzen.Meinen PC möchte ich ebenfalls nächstens ersetzen. Meine Frage lautet, wie ich die Registrierung des Poduktes bei beiden Geräten löschen kann, da die Installation des vorhandenen Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 nur auf  max. 2 Geräten möglich war ? Auf den neuen Geräten möchte ich Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 vorläufig wieder installieren und evtl. mittelfristig durch die aktuelle Variante Adobe Photoshop Elements ersetzen. Weitere Frage:Kann ich meine, vor Jahren erfolgte Registration bei Adobe löschen und wenn ja, wie muss ich vorgehen ?GrussPeter

I recently upgrade to PSE 2023 from PSE15.  I also use the Topaz SharpenAI plugin.  With PSE15 I was able to install access to the plugin via the the PSE's plugins folder and it ran without a hitch.  However with PSE2023 I was unable to install any plugins.  The plugins  folder is just an .ico (an image). Is there any reason why thenew PSE didn't create a plugins folder when installed?Thx,Bob Paterson

When trying to upload an iPhone camera-recorded .mov-movie, PSE refuses to import, even though the HEVC-driver is installed. Is this issue solved in the latest PSE-release? It is confusing to build a library when the library refuses to add everyday taken footage.

Hello, I had a problem to purchase photoshop elements ,  we could not proceed as it seems that after payment it can't be  removed the  credit cards or paypal 's data from adobe site. (but maybe this is for who paid a product that require subscriptions, I didn't read yet someone that mentioned this problem when purchased one single payment products) , EDIT:/ UPDATE:   I 've tried to contact Adobe but I could not speak (edit: at the begin!) with someone and it seems very hard to speak with an Adobe team member.  But I must admit that, yes, it was very hard to contact them (probably when I try to chat, the difference of time zone, made the difference, in fact, when I tried to contact them again in a second time (after 4 hours), I find immediately help and after 2 team members that says me to wait a little in chat that they would send me a member of the team right for my type of problem, he was very very helful! Reply me to all my questions, and

I have purchased a new 2023 Elements including Organizer. Installed into new iMac. Trying to import a backup file from previous iMac. Says can not import  as can not read files.  So how to I transfer 17,00 items from 2022 to 2023 on new computer.

I updated my MacOS from a fairly old version to Ventura and now copy/paste doesn't work using CMD-C and CMD-V in the save box. I updated to the newest Elements (from Elements 2018) but it still doesn't work. I normally give my photos a name and a number. The name is the same and the number is consecutive. I copy the name and paste it and add the number as I save each photo. However, since updating MacOS, The keyboard shortcuts don't work in the same box. When I use the keyboard shortcut, I see the top EDIT menu get highlighted but no copy of paste occurs.But If I action click in the box and select copy/paste, it works fine. Anyone know how to get the keyboard short cuts working again? 

Photoshop element 22 editor does not load. windows 11. 

I want to create an image with some text written on it. The text which is to be written is in Hindi language and I have that text in a ms word file. But I don't know Hindi typing so the only option I have is to copy and paste that text from ms-word file as it is. Now the problem is the same font is working in ms-word file properly but as I soon as I copy it to Photoshop with the same font enabled, it is showing something weird boxes. In short, Hindi font is working for ms-word but same Hindi font is not working for Photoshop particularly in case of copy and paste. Not only one font, I tried many of them but problem is the same for every font. Please help. Proper answer will be greatly appreciated.

I purchsased a full lifetime version of this app today.Installed it - validated SN# on Adobe servers etc...Now, everytime I launch it, I'm prompted with some insane process to install every time - 14" MacBook Pro M1 running Ventura 13.5.1PSE version:  PSE2023_Mac_LBS Installer - requires password every single time you boot.Needs to install at every single launch?   Does anyone know how I can achieve the absolute epiphany of just clicking on the app tile in the dock to launch, and have the screen show up ready for me? 

i want to save a selection as jpg file at my chosen location

I open a file on-screen and select part of it using the lasso tool or magic wand.I do CTRL+C to save the selection to the clipboard then do "File - New - Image from clipboard" and my selection should appear as a standalone image.Up till now that has always worked but a couple of weeks ago (without me changing any settings or preferences) the clipboard image started dropping itself on top of my original image, rather than as a standalone image.If I do "Save" only the new clipboard image gets saved, not the "composite" picture, so at least I can save the selection. But it's annoying if I just want the  clipboard image on screen for editing. After poking around I discovered that if I go to "Layout" on the bottom toolbar and select "Default" the clipboard image appears on screen as a stand-along image, as it should have done in the first place. Unfortunately that "default" setting isn't retained. So every "New image from clipboard" appears as an overlay and I have to do "Layout - Defa

I'm wondering if anyone has been able to use the Backup Catalog feature in Elements 2022 or 2023. I have 2019 but I get an error. The solution based on other posts is to remove the videos and add them back, but I have about 500 videos, so this isn't a great option (https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-elements-discussions/pourquoi-la-sauvegarde-du-catalogue-de-pse-2019-est-impossible/td-p/10589028)If a newer version of Elements works without removing the videos I'll upgrade.Thanks,Eric

Hallo, ich musste Photoshop Elements neu installieren. Nun fehlen viele Werkzeuge in der Werkzeugleiste. Im Internet finde ich nur Anleitungen, man soll auf Bearbeiten und auf die Symbolleiste gehen. Die gibt es aber nicht bei mir. Viele Funktionen gehen seit der Neuinstallation  gar nicht mehr. Was mache ich nun?Danke für Tipps.

Hello:All of my Adobe programs are on my laptop running Windows10.  My main concern is with Photoshop Elements and the plug-ins associated with it.  I have a new laptop running Windows11.What is the best (read "easiest") way to transfer the programs and associated files from the old laptop to the new laptop?I researched third part software that's supposed to facilitate the transfer of files and programs; but, they all have shortcomings that I really don't want to deal with.Thanks for your help.

Just purchased photoshop elements but struggling to link my lightroom mobile to it . I have an annual subscription to lightroom mobile with iCloud storage etc . My lightroom just comes up with "can't find photoshop" when trying to process a photo . Thanks in advance .

I’ve been using Photoshop for years to keep and organize my photos.  I recently moved from one laptop to another.  I backed up on the old system and restored on the new.  All the photos were in folders based on dates.  I had tags and names as well. When all restored, I found I lost many photos.  The photos remaining are on the C drive of the laptop.  Photoshop has all the thumbnails.  Some with photos, some “missing,” and some on a DVD or other device.I always thought Photoshop actually imported the photos.  Apparently, it sometimes leaves them on the USB drive, DVD, or even phone.  I went back to every old device, DVD, and backup to find as many as I could.  They are now all stored on an external hard drive. I now want to redirect Photoshop Organizer to the external hard drive.  But I want all the date based folders, tags, and names.  If successful I will delete all the photos on the C drive. Any suggestions?
