Questions

   Want to re-install PSE 15 on Windows 11.  Received msg. "installer failed to initialize."   Adobe Help Chat was incompetent.  Said PSE 15 will not work on Win. 11 despite the fact that I have  been using it on Win. 11 for several years.   They said I could not re-install w/o uninstalling the existing program (not a re-install but a new install)  which obviously I did not want to do not knowing if PSE could be installed again.   Does anyone know if there is a solution to the "failed installer" problem?   Does an existing program have to be uninstalled first?   My experience has been there is no problem running the install proceess again w/o having to uninstall the existing program first..   I purchased PSE 22 a few years  but uninstalled it because Adobe had eliminated some functions that I use.  Don't recall what they were but I think at least one had to do with eliminating selection

On 22 September 2025, I purchased an upgrade version to Adobe Photoshop Elements 2025 at a cost of £70.99, Order Number (PII removed by Moderator).I downloaded and successfully installed the application.However, when I run the application the Start Screen loads Ok, the Organizer also loads Ok, but the Photo Editor does not load.Help would be appreciated as this is the element that I use the most.I am running Windows 11 Pro fully up to date with Windows Update. Any Help would be appreciated  

Ich nutze unter Windows 11 verschiedene Versionen von Photoshop Elements auf 2 DELL Rechnern und einem Acer Notebook ohne Probleme.Auf einem neuen DELL-System kann ich Photoshop Elements zwar installieren, aber nach einem Neustart geht der Rechner in einen Fehlermodus.Eine automatische Reparatur bringt kein Ergebnis. Ein Hinweis auf ein Windows-Log bringt nichts, da man nicht mehr auf die Systemplatte kommt.Man muss den Rechner zurücksetzen. Ist da irgendetwas bekannt?

Photoshop elements 12 marche parfaitement un un de mes ordinateurs. Sur l'autre (en réseau au travail) il me demande depuis quelques telps sans cesse de me connecter et de fournir mon ID. je fais la démarche et cela recommence sans cesse. Le logiciel ne s'ouvre plus

Tell me how to change the name of folders & or add details in Organizer 2025 without returning to original files, then re-importing folders to the Organizer 2025. My last version of  Adobe Elements Oranizer was the 2019 version and I coukd easily change the name or add other info appropriate to the folder in the Organizer window and by doing so the system would change the title/data info in the original library in my computer or external drive

I have PSE 2021 on my old computer but when I accessed my products, previous PSE's are listed but not the upgrade to 2021 from PSE 2013. I have tried to find help in the Support - only a chatbot - no help at all. Unable to actually find any help from a real person or google. I do not want to purchase something that I already own but cannot find any way to do that and Adobe does not provide a contact 

It took me some time to get PSE 2020 installed on macOS Tahoe: cleaning with the downloaded Creative Cloud Clean up tool after migration and then only a new download of the dmg package from my product page in my Adobe Account worked. Then Organizer started as expected, but when choosing the Editor an error message comes up immediately, stating that at least macOS X is required. Obviously Tahoe macOS 26 is fitting to that requirement. I hope PSE is not just looking for a macOS pre-number 10??? I hope someone can help please?

Ich versuche mich bei photoshop elements 2024 an zu melden mit gültiger seriennummer, nach fenster schließt sich und öffnet sich nach ein paar sekunden wieder.Seport konnte mir auch nicht weiter helfen.Neuinstalation brachte auch keinen erfolg. 

As per title.I bought this Mac Pro last year, soon afterwards bought Elements 2024 via Apple's online app store.Previously I owned (still do) CS5 extended Photoshop.Recently I found that I couldn't find any Chromatic Aberration correction, tried to access support - discovered that Adobe seems not to be aware that I bought Elements as per first line in this post.Which is alarming, to say the least.Reason I'm not using CS5 any more is that my last Windows laptop was corrupted by a BIOS upgrade forced on it by Dell. No more CS5 for me.   I'm sick of MS' attitude re forcing OS upgrades on owners who don't want it for perfectly valid reasons - so have migrated to MacOS with this Macbook Pro 14, currently running Sonoma.That's it. I paid for the software via Apple's online system, it was downloaded from Apple's server.  That's the story.Having bought the software as above from Apple, why does Adobe seem unaware of my being their customer?  Does Apple not transfer customers' de

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, Ver 9.0.0 working under Windows 10 x64, Ver 2004.After working with no problems for many years, the Clone Stamp tool has simply stopped working, without any error messages. I upgraded my Win 10 to Ver 2004 recently which could possibly be relevant.The Clone Stamp icon is present in the tool bar and when I right click I can ensure that the Clone Stamp tool has been selected. All seems to be well, there is a circle on the screen whose size can be adjusted. The only thing is that the tool does not work. Dragging the circle around after Alt-click produces no result, except perhaps a very slight blurring in the circle.I have tried changing the Compatibility in Windows to Win 7, but no success.

I really want my money back now.  I purchased PE 2025, it says it has a mobile beta app, the app requires the code to open, the Bot asks irrelevant questions, the human made a phone appointment for me for last night, no one called.  Again dealing with Bot who knows nothing, he finally referred me to human, who said I'll get a phone call on Monday, and now I got an email that my request is marked as completed.  Whike nothing is completed.  All I want is to get a code from them, to activste the beta app that was included with the purchase.

The latest download PDF manuals for Adobe Elements Organizer, Photoshop Elements, and Premiere Elements appears to be an old link to 2018 manuals.  Where do we find a current link to the Adobe Elements 2021 Bundled programs?

I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 14 on a PC in 2016. Downloaded from adobe website. Product has worked without issues until this week. This week I began receiving a message that states - "The serial number is already in use by the maximum allowed computers. You must deactivate another computer or provide another valid serial number to use this product again on this computer." Photoshop Elements 14 is not installed on any other PCs. I can't open the application to attempt to de-activate and re-activate. Cust Support offers no assistance - stating that they no longer offer support for this product. Any assistance would be appreciated.

How do i undo process multiple files, captions, file name in photoshop elements? (All 35 pictures now have a Caption that I do not want!!)

I have been using this program since 2020 and all of a sudden when I try to print (4x6) I get an error: because the default printer could not be opened.  I can print out of windows with no problem.  It only happens in my photoshop elements program.  I took it to a computer repair and he could not figure it out.  Please help!  Has anyone had this happen?  I print specialized sizes and need this program to work.

Photoshop Elements 2024 works just fine as a trial, but for whatever reason, Photoshop Elements 2025 dies when I try to open the editor application. I have tried the Creative Cloud cleaner multiple times after repeated installs. It looks like I'm too late to buy a 2024 license from anywhere, so there really is no Adobe Photoshop Elements option available to me. I don’t really want to pay for an application (even if it's on sale) if it the Editor portion won't  even open after a fresh install. I have reported the crash to Apple, but I’m not sure if there is anything else I should try. I'm on the latest Mac OS (Sequoia 15.2) on my M1 Max 14" MacBook Pro (32GB RAM, 32 GPU cores, 10 CPU cores, 1TB storage).  It's been years since I've considered coming back to Adobe to be able to use my X-rite Colorchecker Passport with RAW photos, now I'm not so sure it's a good idea.  

Today my Photoshop Elements 2023 editor has stopped loading.It loaded and worked perfectly yesterday and as far as I know nothing has changed.I need it as I use it all the time to edit photos etc.When I try to load it I get the message "Loading Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor Workspace..." and nothing happens.Any help would be appreciated.John Hughes

So, I bought Elements 7 several years ago and have now purchased a new computer but cannot install it from  a software download (the purchase was a diskette) as I get a red cross mark for a valid serial number?  Though Rahul, after thirty odd minutes, confirmed the serial number was valid he referred me to a community forum for a problem which seems to me to be a business problem?  Though I am happy with Elements as a product this experience has left a bad taste in my mouth about Adobe as a business.  If Adobe thinks this is a good way to get me to buy the latest version of Elements, it isn't.

Bonjour,Mon entreprise a récemment acquis 7 licences de Photoshop Elements. Après l'installation, je rencontre un problème sur certaines machines : une erreur 12086 apparaît systématiquement au lancement de PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe. Cela est particulièrement frustrant, car nous avons besoin de travailler avec ce logiciel pour nos activités.Parfois, une réinstallation résout le problème, mais ce n'est pas toujours le cas.Pouvez-vous m'aider à trouver une solution efficace pour régler ce problème de manière définitive ?   

I tried to get my PSE2019, via Glen's excellent advice, reinstalled but the installer wouldln't work. I called Adobe customer service. The tech assured me she could get it working but even with screen share was unable to. She offered me $20 off of PSE2025 for $79.99. I pleaded with her to sell me PSE2024 for the same or even $99. No luck. Now it's Adobe's subscription PSE, which my libertarian soul rebels against, or finding a PSE2024 that is not a faulty deal or a complete gouge. (I found it at eBay for $240, which I consider a gouge.) Is there any hope for finding it at a decent price? Or even PSE2023 or 22? Thanks.

every time i open Elements 2025 i can the Organiser, Editor and Video Edit screen.  I want to set a shortcut for just the Photo editor but cant find the Exefile listed in the Program folder

Comment convertir une image en objet dynamique avec Photoshop element 2024 ? Merci d'avance

I've been using Photoshop Album 2.0 for over 20 years with about 20,000 pictures.  I've been using it on Windows 10 with no problems for more than 5 years.  After I did the Windows 11 upgrade after I open up the program it freezes and there no slider on the right side of the screen.  The vertical slider area is there but no slider.  The program freezes and I have to go to Task Manager to close it out.  I've tried running as an Administrator and in different compatability OS but nothing helps.  I'm looking for a way to get this running, or the simplest way to convert to another program that will retain my tags and improvements.

I'm working for years with Photoshop 2023 and Wacom tablet on Windows 11. Since a few days I can't use anymore the Wacom pen in Photoshop Editor. I can use it with OneNote, Paint and Photoshop Organizer. Amazing if I'm using the pen in the Organizer and move it in the Editor window it's ok, but as soon as I lift the pen from about 1 cm I lose it and I can only work with the mouse.  Anybody encontered the same problem and is there a solution for this problem?
