Hi,I have PSE15 installed on an HP laptop running Windows 10.  It is an old slow machine.  I bought an Apple MacBook Pro about a year ago and have been migrating everything over to it.  Last week I purchased PSE2023 for Mac from the Apple App Store and have been getting used to it.  I am now ready to move my catalog from the Windows 10 laptop to the Mac.  I have been searching and reading the Adobe website and this forum, I have found a lot of good info and I think I am ready to go, but before I do I would appreciate it if someone would look over these steps and let me know if I am missing anything. Open my PSE15 catalogRun “Save Metadata to files”Run “Reconnect All Missing Files”Run “Backup Catalog” and save the backup to my attached external hard driveConnect external HD to my MacCreate a new folder on the Mac with the same name as my existing PSE15 catalogCopy the backup file into that folder on the MacOpen PSE2023Run File>”Restore Catalog” from the

  This message appears when trying to open all online files (eg Dropbox jpeg files) on newly installed Photoshop Elements 2023.   "Could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete) "   I can however open files local files (eg Download and photos folders on Macbook Air M2). If you copy and paste online JPEG's into a local directory you can then open them but a right hassle if you cannot open them directly with Photoshop Elements.    Title changed by Moderator

Hi All,I have downloaded a Luts Pack and I am having difficulty installing this plugin into my Photoshop Elements 2017. The files are .cube format and it seems that PE is not recognizing this kind of format.I did open Preferences - Plugins - Additional Plugin Folder - Choose, but when the files show up they are grayed out so that they can't be chosen. I have managed to install other plugins before such as the Nic Collection but that wasn't in .cube format. Does anyone know if I should be able to install files with .cube format? If this is possible could anyone please guide me as to how to instal these files? Thank you.

Depuis que j'ai acheté ce logiciel j'ai un problème bloquant quand j'ouvre l'organisateur. Au bout de quelques secondes, un message s'affiche provenant de Microsoft Visual C++  Runtime Library. Si je fais "ignorer" ou "recommencer" ou "abandonner" l'organisateur se ferme brusquement.Utilisation sous Windows 10 - 64 bitsVoir la capture d'écran ci-jointe.Je suis utilisateur depuis de nombreuses années de ce type de logiciel et je n'ai jamais rencontré un tel problème. Dernier logiciel acheté : Photoshop Elements 2019 et Premier Elements 2019 et je n'avais aucun soucis.Avez vous une solution svp ?Merci de votre réponse.

Every so often, I back up my Organizer, now with 144,000 items, and move to a second laptop where I 'Restore' so I have full back up of everythings and tags and albums.  this time on 'Restore' it keeps informing me that it is doing it through OneDrive, although I requested it do it through my external hard drive setting, and transfer to the second laptop.  It appears to be taking forever.  It normally will all take a couple of days but this seems slower.Is it best to let it run through this time, and in futre switch off OneDrive however I do that?  Whatever it does, I have no idea and do not know if I need it.  Thank you. 

Is it possible to download data from Photoshop Elements Organizer?  Specifically, want to download file name, file date & file location.  

error message - the catalog could not be opened.  It is either corrupt or the version is out of date.

I did a search for duplicates with PSE2020 on a windows 10 laptop. Several hundreds of duplicates showed up on a grid showing a percentage for each. How do I now delete the duplictes and leave the original in the catalog?

I recently upgraded to an HD monitor with my new system. I used to have an LED monitor. I am now finding when saving files in 300ppi, the files are extremely large and take up too much space. I like to print my images at 300ppi. Is there a way to change that? I just upgraded from Elements 9 to Elements 2022 last year so I am on a huge learning curve. Thanks for any help.

Hi all! I fully back-upped a Windows11-PSE23-catalog to an external NTFS formatted stick including foto-files.No I try to restore the stick on MacOS-M1 and get the error message, that the stick contains no valid backup. Could it be the problem, that the NTFS-formatted stick is not writeable on MacOS, although the stick is the data source?Unfortunately all these processes last hours up to days because of the bulk of data (500GB). Is it possible to copy the catalog  itself without foto-files using the backup and restore mechanism of PSE23 andcopy the foto-files using normal OS-typic operations like copying them with the Windows-explorer ? Regards,AAA

Can I make Animated Gifs in adobe elements? If yes, how?If not, what adobe product do I buy to make animated gifs?I want to make animated gifs that can change frame by frame.I used to use what is now outdated software; it was straightforward.I have adobe elements, and I'm finding creating animated gifs really difficult. Maybe I'm using the wrong software. Any help on this is appreciated.

Hab digitalisierte Uralt-Dias mit PSE 2020 aufbereitet, verschlagwortet und bei dieser Gelegenheit mit 'Standort hinzufügen' im Organizer an die richtigen Stellen auf der Karte gezogen. Ortsangaben, Beschreibung, Datum etc. sind alle richtig in den IPTC Daten gelandet und im exiftool sichtbar.Was ich ums Verrecken nirgends finde, sind die Koordinaten der zugewiesenen Orte. Weiß jemand, wo und in welchem Format der Organizer die ablegt?Das wäre übrigens mein Vorschlag für eine neue Funktion: Wenn noch keine GPS Koordinaten vorliegen, trägt der Organizer auf Wunsch die Koordinaten des zugewiesenen Orts als XMP Parameter ein.

My photos are arranged chronogically, but sometimes I take photos of old maps or old photos.  They are positioned chronologically as to when I took the photo, but I then want to change the date to match the historic map or photo so it would be in the correct historic chronological order.  So, I replace the date.  That all works fine, but it leaves me way back at the historic date instead of where I was when I decided to correct the date.  Is there an easy way for me to return to the original chronological position where the photo used to be?   In case this is confusing, here is an example.  In 2010, I photo-copied 5 historic aerial photos all from different dates in the 1930s-40s.  They all sat as 2010 photos for 12 years.  Now I want to redate them all - one is from 1937, 1942, 1948, etc.  When I did the first one, I was left in 1937.  Now I want to go back to 2010 to work on the second one.  How do I get back to the aerials

I recently followed instructions in a YouTube video to increase the canvas size and add a drop shadow to a few photos. It works perfectly in PSE 2020. But, at the end of the process, I did a select all and added a stroke (outline) around the white space. This added another shadow inside the stroke which I didn't want. The only way around this I found was to save the photo as a JPG after adding the drop shadow and then reload the photo and then add the stroke. Is there a better way to do this without the extra steps of saving as a JPG and then reloading it to add the stroke?
