Questions

I often check original photo files on an SD card or USB stick using Elements Editor to see how I modified them from the originals. This has the side effect of adding them to the Organizer catalog which i dont want. In My PSE 2018 I then simply had to search/find for missing files, all the offline files would appear as missing, and then i would simply hit delete and remove them from the catalog.No so in Organizer 26. When I search for missing files, the offline files are no longer considered missing.  Thats fine, but how do I identify the offline files? Clicking on Organizer - Filter - Local Media, still shows files with non C: drive locations. The Find menu does not seem to have any filters to accomplish what I want to do. So does anyone have suggestions for what can be best summarized as "identify all files in the catalog with non C: drive locations" and then remove them (from catalog only, not the physical location) task?

I use Photoshop Elements Organizer 2025 on Mac OS.My pictures are stored on a Synology NAS and this is connected as a drive (/photo). Catalogue and tagging works fine. But when I'd like to move the pictures on a new folder, which is still empty, it is not shown in the library.The folder is available through Finder.

I'm trying to install an earlier version of Elements (PSE 11) on a brand new Windows 11 machine. It says that "Px Engine Device Driver for 64-bit" has an issue, but I can't find any files like pxhelpa64.sys anywhere on my computer (not under Windows, anyway). Does anyone have any suggestions for what else the file might be called? I searched for "px" and got no results. The problem was solved by the Geek Squad previously by "deleting a device driver file" but no one there can tell me which file it was!

Hello,I have a family photo database of nearly 49k photos on my 😧 drive. All these photos are nicely organised in PSE 2026 Organiser.Recently, following a major backup exercise, I appear to have backed up my Catalogue to the C: drive and also copied the database to the same location.The result is that the organiser now uses the copy of the database on the C: drive as its source  and not the original location on the 😧 drive.What is the easiest way to get the organiser to use the original source location on trhe 😧 drive? I am a bit loath to delete the copied database  on the C: drive and then reconnect to 49k photos on the 😧 drive unless I am assured that this is the best way to resolve the issue. Thanks & Regards,Jim

I downloaded PSE 2026.  Windows 11 PC updated today. Turned off Antivirus, Tried running as admin. Slowed down graphics. Proramm appears to open , but the organizer and Editors do not open/work

I have had Elements 26 for about a month now, and started using Camera Raw more often. (mainly to see if the setting the Details slider to 100% enables the so called deconvolution processing) While doing this I see that Camera Raw (I have version 18) now includes three new tabs: Denoise (default slider at 50%), Raw Details, and Super Resolution. While I thought they were only in FULL Camera Raw, not in Elements, yet here they are. Not that they do anything, and not that Adobe has updated their Elements Camera Raw page instructions either to explain their presence. As is all three tabs have a black triangle with an exclamation point inside. So they very well may be disabled. Howevere why show them at all? After all the other full Photoshop Raw functions dont show up. All of my GPU capabilities are green, turning off the GPU acceleration on or off makes no difference, editing jpg vs raw makes no difference, and photo size/resolution makes no difference either. So are there any explanatio

Hello all.  I can't download and activate my Photoshop Elements 2021 because I have exceeded the device limit since I reset my computer like 5 times.  I see at the Help Center it says I can deactivate all old devices at the "activated devices" section but none of my old computers are shown.  Is there anything else I can do to deactivate the old computers?

I have run Full and Incremental backups for years and the size of the backup has always been troublesome for my now 100,000 photos & videos.  If I am already backing up my photos and videos by other means (some files are in cloud storage and others get backedup when I backup an entire hard drive) am I adequately protected if I only use "Backup Catalog Structure"?  It would make life so much easier and I'd likely do the structure backup after every use instead of the current (gulp) 4x/yr at most.Thanks,Wayne

When saving a copy of an edited photo, the time attribute is shifted by 5 hours (I think) from the original file prior to edit.  How can I save a copy and have the time attribute the same as the original file (which seems to me to be correct).  Incidentally, the date attribute seems fine.  

Good afternoon, Just purchased PSE 2026. Organizer is loading and works well. Photo editor doesn't load at all. There is a window saying: "photo editor workspace loading" that disappear after more than 15 seconds and that's all. It was exactly the same issue with the free version I tried before purchasing PSE 2026.If it can help, I uninstalled a more than 20 years old PSE version before dowloading PSE 2026.The computor is brand new and runs Windows 11.Can anybody help? Thanks.

Whenever I try to work with TIF files created on my Epson scanner I get the following error message.  What do I need to do differently?  I have over a TB of free disk space, so space isn't the problem.  At 15MB, this isn't a large file.   Thanks.  

Hallo, ich hatte in PSE2024 und nun auch in PSE 2026 rund 39.000 Fotos und einen kleinen Anteil Videos (in einem Katalog) in der Verwaltung.Ich habe das Problem, dass die Menueleiste (Datei, Bearbeiten, Suchen...) im Organizer sich weder mit Mausklick, noch mit Tastenbefehl öffnen lässt. Auch bei der Gesichtserkennung lässt sich ein Sub-Menue bei den "Bestätigten Gesichtern' nicht durch Rechts-Mausklick öffnen. Was muss ich tun ? Kann ich was tun ? Oder ist Photoshop Elements 2026 mit rund 40.000 Fotos überfordert ? Gerne höre ich eure Hilfe.

What's the best way to remove text and/or image bleed-through from the white background of a scanned newspaper article?

Today I opened up my Photoshop Elements 7 to add photos. I was able to tag them with the Album and the People's names, but I don't see the tags in the bottom right corner anymore. The only way I can see them is to right-click on the individual photo, and then click on Remove Keyword Tag. Then a list comes up with the tags listed vertically.  All of my photos, not only the ones added today, have this issue now. Is there anyone out there who can help me with this?  I am no expert, so I need things explained carefully and step by step.  I am guessing/hoping that it is a matter of finding a setting that needs changing, but so far I have had no luck in finding it. I will keep looking, though.  I appreciate any help you can give me.

I find i am unable to download Elements 2026 because i get  a messages "Error API key invalid". Currently i am running on Elements 2024 and wish to update . Can any one help 

I downloaded JPG files from an OM Systems OM-1 body in the advanced Import dialog in Elements 2025, changing file names to the shoot sequence. When I uploaded these unedited images to Smugmug, system errors were detected on the upload. Smugmug engineers determined there were metadata errors in these files that prevented their upload.  I then created a test folder and simply copied the files from the memory card. Those uploaded normally. to Smugmug. I'd like to talk to an Adobe support tech and can send relevant files from both tests. I also have the Smugmug metadata error screen grabs to see what they received in the upload to Smugmug. It appears that the errors were introduced in Elements.
