I recently got a new computer. I open the app, and it tells me "Login required." I enter my log in information, and instead of logging me in, it leads me back to the screen that says, "Login required." This is Adobe Photoshop Elements 2020 transferred from another computer via Time Machine.

After years of working brilliantly, I cannot access the editor suite in my PSE 12 .  Catalogue is fine.  Have uninstalled and reinstalled (twice).  No change - no editor!

How can old, not being used File Tag Properties be edited independent without Organizer learning that you did this?  I use Elements Organizer 2023 with my WIN11 64Bit OS. I have used Organizer for many years. Previously, 12 years?, there were other Apps used. The Organizer Tags are fine. They actually reside with the Tag data found in each file Properties, under the DETAILS tab as you do that right click to access that files Properties. This is where my wish to do some Tag maintenance. As due to the history of my catalogue endeavors there exists a residual amount of unneeded Tag data, in the file's Properties. Now, these other Tags go un noticed by Organizer though these other residual Tag data are "Seen" by other applications and treated as 'bonafide' image references. For instance, on another Cloud Server the Organizer Tab data is managed, which is fine, BUT, so are unwanted Tag data not used anymore which, makes lots of clutter. ... The issue, Organizer cannot see these ot

Hello,I'm using Adobe Elements Organizer 2019 since e few months. I imported my 97000 photo's and video's and turned on Face Recognition. This took a while but my iMac did it and now all faces are somehow found by the program. However my problem is that the first stacks were quite large with sometimes more than 100 people in it so this was working fine, of course still al lot of work because the software was not always right in choosing the right combinations. But after a lot of evenings and Sunday afternoons I got to the point when I thought this is the last stack and then there was the small selection box in the top left corner saying 'Hide Small Stacks'. When I unchecked this box there popped op over 20000 stacks of peoples faces. The stacks contain only 1,2 or sometimes 3 faces so it is almost undoable to manually organise these enormous amount of faces.When I look at the stack I wonder why the software did make so many stacks because the faces of a lot of people ar not so differen

I use the " Notes" field in Photoshop Elements Version 20.0 to enter information about my photos and would like to be able to extract in bulk the contents of this field. There are programs that extract the EXIF data nicely but not the Notes field, even if I use the "Save Metadata to File" option.Does anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks, Gunther

Randbedingungen:Adobe Photoshop Elements 2022 (inkl. Premiere Elements). Aktueller Updatestand.Windows 11, version 22H2, ebenfalls aktueller Updatestand. Ich benutze Adobe Photoshop Elements 2022 (inkl. Premiere Elements). Der Druck aus Photoshop Elements 2022 auf einen Canon Pixma TS8351 ist plötzlich nicht mehr möglich. Das Programm ist nach „Datei“ -> „drucken“ nicht mehr bedienbar. Deinstallieren und Neuinstallation (Photoshop und Premiere) ändert daran nichts. Ich muss ein  jpg- Bild erzeugen und dieses mit einem anderen Programm drucken. Andere Programme drucken wie erwartet. Was ist zu tun?

I have downloaded the trial of PSE 2023 and I am testing it. I used File Info to look at the metadata fields on a photo and then modified all three fields with another program. When I then re-looked at the fields in PSE,  one of the fields (Copyright Notice) shows the update, but the other two fields (Description and Title) does not.

I saved raw photos that  I edited in Elements 2022 and can not open them in recently installed Elements 2023.  I have also installed Add On Utitlities 2023

Had no problems with my trial version of Windows Elements 2022 and camera RAW but I've just purchased Elements and it's 2023 version.  Gone to put camera RAW on and I get error 131.  I cannot see how to get through to Adobe themselves to try and sort this issue out. Tried closing all processes according to their help page, restarting computer, have downloaded RAW separately so I am now at a loss.   Do they have an online technical support?

I like the Elements Organizer, but there is still after all the years one feature missing:"Writing metadata to file" does not write face tags.I would expect the Organizer to read and write XMP-rwg-rs face tags just like Lightroom does since years.I just verified using ExifTool that the newly released Photoshop Elements Organizer 2019 still does not do that.I have many photos with tagged faces in that format from Picasa and digiKam and want to import them.Also I don't want to loose those metadata together with the catalog.So please tell me when we can expect support for that in Elements.Will it be implemented in Photoshop Elements 2020?If yes, this would be the next version for me to buy (staying with Elements 12).

Hi,I just bought a new laptop with Windows 11, version 22H2 for x64.On my old laptop I had Photoshop Elements 2018. I bought an upgrade to PE 2023 from Adobe and installed it on my new laptop which worked fine.I then wanted to restore my catalogue but I can`t get it to work. I have the backup on an external hard drive. I clicked on restore from hard drive and chose backup.tly. I then clicked on restore files and catalogue to original location. I am not sure if it should be restored to Elements 2023 Organizer or Photoshop Elements 2023. I have tried both and both times a window comes up saying ”You have no write permissions or write access (it is in Swedish so I don`t know which translation is correct) to the file you marked. Mark another file.”What in the world is wrong?? What shall I do?Hope to get some help.Sture Persson

Hi - a year or so ago I upgraded from an earler version of Elements and after a bit of a struggle all was fine. I spent some time correctly naming the faces it had identified. All fine. Today my girlfriend reported a problem to me while i was out. I cant be sure exactly what happened, but seems as though it lost its reference to the db or some other file it was expecting to locate on startup. As it was asking for a serial key, I googled, and found in the Adobe site a 'password recovery key tool' which i thought might fit the problem since as far as i was concerned it ought to know it was a valid, licenced install already. I dont know whether that tool changed anything it shouldnt have but did not make any noticable affect as I still couldnt log in. Eventually i found the original activation key in te purchae email and entered this so the application would run up. I then repointed it to the db location and all seemed to be back to normal. Hurrah! But then I checked the Pe
