Questions

So I am always hesitant to upgrade my MacOS when everything is working well. I made the mistake of upgrading from Catalina to Monterey a couple of days ago. Now experiencing problems with Elements 2021. The first time I ran it no probem. Opened an image, edited it and save it. A few hours later I try to open another image and Elements hangs up and I need to force quit. Chatted with support and was surprised to find out that I need to purchase Elements 2022 (something about legacy issues). Support agent didn't really seem to care. I have had previous versions of Elements that worked fine through many of the "Mountain" OS upgrades. The odd thing is if I delete Elements, re-download and install it again will work once and then not again. There has to be a fix for this other than purchasing Elements 2022. Very frustrated with Adobe.

First of all I need explanations in plain language if possible as my computing skills are limited.I have  a Windows 10 laptop with about 25,000 photos organized in Albums in PSE2013 but I have just bought a new laptop and I am planning to install PSE2022. I want to make sure I can do this without losing all the captions , people recognition and clearly the albums in which the photos are organized. I remember reading some where that it was necessary first to save metadata to file but when I do this from the file menu it is using a lot of memory of which I am running short.Is that necessary and what is the best way to tranfer/copy from one laptop to the other? Last time when moving from version PSE10 to 13 I tried using the Back up catalog/ Restore catalog facility but it didn't work.

On Start up I get Photoshop Server Extension Code ERRORS = icuuc58.dll & icucnv58.dll code extension missing.How do I correct this?  RELOAD entire program?

I have Adobe PhotoShop Elements 2021 on Windows 11. When I start up my laptop I get two messages - PhotoShopServer.exe system error The code execution could not proceed because icucnv58.dll was not found.The second message is the same except it says icuuc58.dll.The program seems to works fine without them, but it's annoying. How do I fix it? Thanks.

I am using Photoshop Elements 10 on Windows 10.  I am still a beginner and would like to be pointede towards a tutorial for version 10, that would teach me the required skills. In the meantime...I have a night sky .jpeg photo which I have enhanced on my Windows 10 software, original and enhancement attached, having used the brightness controls within Windows to bring the night sky to life but that then bleaches the house and the tree in the foreground. How can I use Elements 10 to work on the sky part of the photo without changing the building and the tree?   I am using Photoshop Elements 10

I have an old copy of Elements 12 and have the License Key also. Installed on computer and won't allow me to activate. Makes me login with my Adobe account, Thens sends SMS code to my phone I enter it and it says connect to internet. Computer is connected to internet as I'm making this post from that machine.

I currently have PSE 2020 which cannot deal with NEF files from my Z9. I did try with PSE 2022 but that didn't work either. Is there a date by when the Nikon Z9 will be supported and will I have to upgrade to PSE 2022?TIA John

Does anyone know how or if it is possible to get element 11 to accept NEF files in windows 11 64 bit? 

Hello - I am trying to stitch two (or more) photos together using Photoshop Elements 13.  I have tried everything that the user guide indicated but nothing is working.   Can someone please let me know if this is possible, or if I need to upgrade to a newer version to easily accomplish this? Thank you 

フォトショップ　エレメントの整理で画像をクリックしても、見つからないファイルを探していますというコメントが出て作業ができません、何が原因なのか分かりません、解決法を教えてください。

I have hundreds of vintage photos scanned from an Epson scanner that I need to add a caption under the photo that would include the date, people in the photo, event etc.  I want to the caption/text to be under the photo not appear as text on the photo.  I thought there was a "caption" option that I could click which would be simple.  I am not an experienced user and just purchased PSE 2021 and I am very frustrated.  I just can not figure it out.

I have created several albums by sharing my photos on Flickr but in this case I would like to share an album on google photos - is that possible without duplicating my photos?

Bonjour,mon ordi portable étant définitivement cassé, j'ai acheté un nouvel ordi portable et j'ai voulu réinstaller mon element 13. J'ai mis le serial correct et il m'a été répondui que j'avais sûrement une version pitarée, ce qui est impossible car j'ai la preuve d'achat , le numéro de commande et le code reçu sur un courrier que je peux renvoyer au format word pour prouver ma bonne foi. Que dois-je faire pour pouvoir réinstaller mon logiciel photoshop element?Merci pour votre réponseBien cordialement Thierry Muller

Hello,I have the most recent version of Elements. It works fine with my HP Spectre's mousepad, my usb mouse, and my finger on the touchscreen; the only issue is with using the stylus. Before the most recent update, trying to use my HP Spectre's stylus in the program would make it crash. Post-update it no longer crashes, but most of the program will not respond to the stylus. I can click on the menus at the top (File, Edit, etc) and select options in them without issue. I can also use the scroll bars. I cannot click on anything in the tool bar, click on the canvas, or select any layers; the program doesn't register me clicking on it at all. When I hold the stylus near the screen, I can see the mouse icon (arrow, fill bucket, or what have you) flickering. Is there a fix for this? If not, can this please get fixed in the next update? The whole reason I bought a 2-in-1 laptop like this was to use the stylus to draw, so it's disappointing that I'm having so much trouble. Thanks.

I am advised to reinstall PE due to a corrupt file. I downloaded originally, so have no physical disc. How could I reinstall? Thanks for your advice. John

unbekannter Grund wieso ich plötzlich nicht mehr die einfachste Sache in Adobe Elements 2021 machen kann: FOTOS LÖSCHEN (Foto aus Katalog löschen). 1 oder 2 Fotos kann ich löschen. Ab 3 Fotos stürzt jeweils Adobe Elements Organizer ab (ich habe einen neuen hp Rechner und die Fotos sind auf einer externen 2TB SSD). Bis dato hatte ich dieses Problem NIE. Weiss jemand eine Lösung, danke?!

Hello, I have just downloaded and installed Elements 2022, along with Elements 2022 Organizer. A little bit prematurely, I imported a lot (multiple dozen) of folders into it. I now realise that I had intended to import folders and their images from a different disc.  I couldn't see a method of undoing my import, or a means of selecting multiple folder for deletion, so now I am stuck with many items that I hadn't fully prepared to import. Is there any way to 'start again', as I don't really want to individually remove all the folders I don't want? As I did my imports only yesterday, is it better to delete the entire application? I would appreciate anyone's feedback, thanks!

Hi,   I've downloaded Photoshop Elements 13 on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011) OS 10.11.6 I'm trying to validate the serial number, but it says, "Please connect to the internet and retry". But I am connected to the internet. I've tried everything related to this on the internet, and had two loooooooong chats with customer support and they couldn't figure it out. I've cleared my cache/cookies, tried different internet connections, and tried everything related to this that is cuerrently on the internet. On this page, [Link removed by moderator ]it says there is a way to get an access code to connect offline. I believe this would give me access, but it says,  Follow the installation or product launch screens until you see a link that says "I cannot connect to the internet" or "Having trouble connecting to the internet". Click the link and follow the instructions on the subsequent screen to initiate offline activation. Instructions there will tell you how to generate a Reques

I downloaded Photoshop Elements this afternoon, and am trying to use it on a 2021 Macbook Pro which I purchased a couple of weeks ago. It isn't working. I can open files and view them and change the mode from RGB to bitmap and greyscale, but that's about it. All features other than the 'select' tools are greyed out. Suggestions are welcome.
