I just replaced my iMac by a Mac Mini with MacOS Monterey 12.6.3. I made a migration of my old HD (Big Sur) but PE won't open. I've got a message saying I should uninstall then reinstall the application (error:11). I uninstalled but now I cannot reinstall it because I don't have my serial number. Apparently I didn't register... So I have downloaded PE 2023. What do I need to do to activate it?

While doing full backup of photo library following error message recieved, 'Error encountered while writing file(s) E:\Volumes\my passport\Organizer\Photo Library Media\Masters\2012\11\06\20121106-151740\Img\Img_0382.Jpeg.The backup seems to have completed but I do not know for sure, is there any action I need to take please?

I am using a new version of Elements (2023) and I cannot import Adobe Acrpbat Documents. Is this no longer an option?

Hello, I've had Photoshop Elements for a while now and I keep having issues with it. It was fine at first but eventual I get an error of sorts. The first time Photoshop would take forever to load up, I'm taking up to an hour or more sometimes. I've had prblems with it running slow and now I kept getting multiple pop up every time I restarted my laptop telling me photoshop was having issues and I needed to delete and redownload Photoshop to fix them. I was reluctent to do this because Downloading the Program is a hassle that can take weeks to fix. It tells me an eirlier versoin was found on my laptop in a folder but that folder is empty.    On top of this I deleted this folder in an attempt to stop it but it tells me it's there anyway. It then only get to like 1-4% download before it will tell me there was an issue and to look up code 199 but code 199 doesn't exist aparently cause the site they lead me too doesn't have anything for it. I don't know what to do, I rely on P

Hi, I'm still using PS Elements 2020 and would like to know if this version will work on Mac OS Monterey ?   So far I'm holding back on the OS upgrade.   Many Thanks

I just bought Elements 2023. Assuming the options bar is the thing that runs across the bottom of the screen, I hit the Tool Options button but there is no Reset tool in that bar. I also tried right-clicking on the tool but nothing happened. Any idea how I can get rid of the annoying circle that results when I click the clone tool? Thank you..       Subject renamed.

 Husband backed up photos in PSE 2020 and reinstalled into new Windows 11. However all my photos are displaying error Missing Files on all 16,000 photos.I have tried reconnecting the files, but no luck. What am I missing here.Help!

Jeg kjøpte programmet i 2016. Har hatt det instalert på to maskiner. Den ene maskinen er nå ute av drift, jeg har kjøpt ny stasjonær PC. Jeg får nå melding om at serienr må deaktiveres på gammel PC før det er mulig å få programmet inn på ny PC. . Hvordan løser jeg dette ???HilsenNils Baustade-post : nils-tba@ebnett.no

I am getting this error every time I open organizer, it is driving me up the wall there must be a simple answer to this problem, it is keeping me from doing the things I bought Elements for

I've been using Photoshop Elements 2020 and recently got a new  computer. Organizer works fine, but when I try to open the Editor, it asks me to sign in. I enter my Adobe login and password, and it asks me to sign in . . . I tried changing the password, same result. I can't get past the sign-in page although I'm entering the correct login and new password.

I am trying to apply changes on a photo facial features. I make the adjustments and hit the "OK" button. but the changes dont take effect; ie; the photo is the same as before. The circle is around the face and the sliders adjust ok, but the changes dont save. Am I missing something?   Thanks

After reading posts about duplicate photo problems in organizer, my brain is spinning. So Ill take a chance in asking what might be a simple question. when Im in the slideshow screen and trying to rearrange photos for the slideshow I comer across duplicates. I remove them. When the slideshow is processed and I play back I find that many of the dupicate photos I removed are in the slideshow presentation. I then do it all over again and the same thing happens. What am I missing here? I have windows 10-pro. Thanks

When importing pictures, they don't show in Elements organizer, except as grey squares. See attached dump. Why, and how can I fix this?/Torsten

I recently had my computer quit on me. I had ALL my pics/vids backed up on separate drives, but, the Photoshop Elements 10 Catalog didn't seem to quite make it.I have gotten to a Windows Image Backup of the drive, where I found Elements Organizer Catalogs (and other Elements folders). I was able to Download my Elements 10, and Install it. I got to be able to see all my pics, which are still in the same folder setup, as before, Except they are Now on a Separate drive from the OS, and under Microsoft's Onedrive (ex: d:\onedrive\pictures\photos).Some of my Tags are now there, after an Import, but LOST most of the People/Places/Events tags. As well as the People Recognition. If I have access to my Original Elements files (including Catalog), where could I Find and Bring IN the data for Tags (people, places, events) and the Facial recognition data? Would it be as easy as just Copying and replacing New data files with Old ones from the Backup (System Image).I have LOTS of pictures with peopl

I ingested a photo with a Create Date of 3/11/2023, and Organizer is setting its date to 1/1/1601.  I have attached the photo.  All embedded metadata viewed via exiftool looks correct.  Any ideas?

I recently purchased a copy of Adobe Elements 2022. I'm working on a Mac with Catalina 10.15.7. It seems to work okay while using, but when I save and close the file (as PSD), much of my formatting disappears. The fonts are completely wonky (line spacing, colors, sizes completely wrong). The drop shadow styling is completely gone as well. That's at least an hour of work gone. Have to redo this all over again. This is extremely aggravating. I'm sorry I spent money on this software.

Above is a screen shot of a photo I'm trying to remove text from. Originally I selected the Text Icon, drew a text box and entered text. Then saved photo. Presently, I require a copy of this photo unsigned. I made a copy of the original and have made several attempts to remove text. Nothing, I have tried seems to work. Using the AutoSelection tool, I have gotten the text to highlight, but still unable to edit or remove. Some of the answers I've seen in Help seem to be for a different version of Photoshop. Using a Windows PC.

Trying to install Elements 13 on new laptop-but telling me I need to remove a device, but when I log into Adobe it says I have no devices registered- nothing to remove...HELP! I have Elements and Premiere 13, and just want to use them on new laptop, but keep getting message that I need to remove a device....

I recently changed my iMac with Big Sur for a Mac mini with Ventura 13.2.1. I made a migration of my apps but PSE 2021 won't open on Ventura (error:11). I have my serial number but when I enter it, I'm told it's already used (yes: by me!). So now I'd like to know how I should proceed to upgrade from PSE 2021 to PSE 2023. (I must say I already sent a message on the subject but I cannot find it, so I don't know if there has been a reply...)

After I apply auto haze removal I get lots of green patches in highlight areas. Did I set a highlight warning that I don't remember or is something else going on?

Ich habe einen iMac. Beim Herunterladen von Photoshop wird aber eine Windowsversion und nicht eine Version für MacOs geladen. Was mache ich falsch?Johannes

When I am in the editor and I complete editing a photo, when I then return to the organizer to continue the process, Elements returns to the top of the folder instead of returning to the current position in the folder where I could continue with the next photo ... so I have to then scroll down to find the spot that I was at.  This wastes time and is frustrating.  Is there some setting I should make to stop the Organizer from jumping back to the top of the list of photos?   When the folder contains several hundred photos or more, this is an irritant.  Every version of Photoshop Elements I have owned does this, and I keep thinking Adobe is going to fix the problem.  If it matters, I am using Adobe Elements 15.0 on Windows 10 (most current MS update).

After years spending too much money on a subcription to Photoshop, I cancelled and I am now trying out Elements. But I am having a big problem with the UI. I am using a 4K monitor and either the icons etc are too tiny with the UI Scale Factor set to Low, or when set to High the font is too big and I have black bars in the UI, hiding the icons. Please help! I have attached screenshots. Thank you.
