How do I keep the "tool options" from opening every time I select a tool in Photoshop Elements 12?

Hello,Bought a new computer with a hard drive and a SSD drive. Bought new version of PSE22 and tried to restore all my 55K+ photos from an external drive and it seems to have uploaded into the One Drive. Now it's saying my One Drive is full and there's not enough space for all the pictures. One problem I see is its trying to add JSON and XMP files when I think I only want the JPEGs right? How do I put the restore onto my hard drive/SSD drive instead of one drive now?

When I initially bought this software in November 2021 it did not include any camera raw program. I have a new Sony A7IV camera and have not been able to work with my raw files. Someone said in Dpreview forum a new update includes camera raw 14.1 which handles the Sony A7IV. I have not received any notice of update so wondering if this is true. 

Can they use my copy of Elements 10?How do they register?

I'm using Elements Organizer 2020 on a Mac with Outlook email. I have updated the preferences to use Outlook as the email client. When I try to share a photo, an email goes into my Drafts folder with the following: "Here are the files that I want to share with you.I sent these using Adobe Photoshop Elements. Find out more: http://www.adobe.com/products/psprelements/" However, the photo is not attached.  I'm just getting this set up so hope there is some setting I need to update. Anyone have an idea? Thanks!  

I installed PSE and PrEl 2022 (from DVD) on two Windows 10 computers: 1) Laptop - no issues 2) Desktop - On the first installation (from DVD), no Themes were present for slideshows.  After uninstalling both PSE 2022 and PrEl 2022, I reinstalled both.  Now, I have only the older Themes, none of the newer Themes (i.e. Cherish Splash Whirl  Kaleidoscope  Light Streaks  Geometric  Frames). PSE and PrEl 2019 are both still installed on both machines.  Both are running Windows 10 with proper updates.  The desktop is ~ 5 yrs old...the laptop ~ 2 years old (running 21H2) Thanks, in advance, for your help.  - Mike Mc - 

I got a new windows 11 computer. I installed PSE 2019 on to it. I do not have the same Page size options as I had on my Windows 10 computer. I need to print a card that is in PSE 2019 on paper that is 8.5  x 5.5   Why is that option not available with windows 11? Is there another way of printing this card?

Hi, I wonder if anyone could tell me the latest build number for the Windows 10 version of Photoshop Elements 2022. Thanks in advance.

I moved all media to a new external device (NAS). How can i change the path from the catalogue(s)? Media is marked as "offline", since the catalogues try to access old path . I can do it photo by photo but I`m talking about more than 20000 photos. The folder-structure on the new device is the same as on the old one.

New user. Is there are way to enlarge fonts of Elements itself (not in the photos? (Other than changing the resolution for my entire Win 11 laptop.)  Thanks.  I can barley read the interface of the program itself.

The setupOS: Win10, upgraded from Win7Other Adobe apps installed; Creative Cloud, Photoshop, Lightroom, Camera RawHave triedSigning out of my account in the Editor, signing in again.Uninstalling older version of PSE, restarting pc. Running out of options - hope there is a way of fixing this without a reinstall.Appreciate any feedback!Cheers, Geir

I can only use PSE 2021 once then I need to restart my laptop to use it again. I have checked in activity monitor and it is not running when I try to launch it the second time. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, launching it from the applications directory etc. And it makes no difference. I am running MacOS Monteray 12.2.1. When I quit PSE 2021 it freezes and you can see 2 instances not responding in force quit. When you force quit 1 instance both instances disappear. I have run the terminal in the /Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 2022/Support Files/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app/Contents/MacOS and this is the log generated when it fails to quit. Last login: Mon Mar 14 18:33:32 on ttys000 The default interactive shell is now zsh.To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.For more details, please visit https://support.apple.com/kb/HT208050.MacBook-Pro:~ Matt$ /Applications/Adobe\ Photoshop\ Elements\ 2021/Support\ Files/Adobe

I currently have photoshop on 2 devices but cannot use either one because it says I need to deactivate a device. When I go to my account I have no activated devices. I need to fix this

My old PC has an internal hard drive running Windows 8.1 and Photoshop Elements 2019 (PE2019). I have 753 GB of photos and scans in my Pictures folder, some of which are in my Elements catalog, and some of which are not. My catalog, named My Catalog 1 and stored in the default location, holds photos taken after I started using Elements and certain older photos that I needed to process in Elements. My new PC has a 512 GB SSD running Windows 11 Home, Version 21H2, Build 22000.493. PE2019 is installed to the SSD. I have my folders and files from the old PC on an External Hard Drive (EHD). I also backed up my catalog inside PE2019 to an EHD. The catalog backup file is 571 GB. The catalog itself has about 45,000 photos. My understanding is that I can keep my files and catalog on the same 4TB EHD and I must Restore Catalog with Original Structure to a custom location. I plan to rename my catalog PSE Catalog to avoid confusion since the name will now be visible in File Explorer. How

I've been using Elements 13 for over 10 years, but now suddenly I get a notice saying that the serial number is being used on too many computers. I haven't changed anything, so why the new notice?

After working fine for several weeks Photoshop Elements 2022 has started crashing upon startup.  I had this very same issue with the Photoshop Elements 2020 version that I had been using for exactly one year until it suddenly started crashing as well.  I couldn't find a solution so I finally just paid for and installed PSE 2022 which I wasn't happy about having to do but nothing else worked.  Again, the 2022 version worked fine for about 6 weeks but is now doing the same thing the 2020 version did - crashing upon startup.  I tried every item except one in this list:  https://helpx.adobe.com/elements-organizer/kb/organizer-crashes-launch-does-not-start.html and nothing works.  The only option I wasn't able to try was "Reset Saved Preferences" because the instructions didn't correlate to what I was seeing on my screen:  After providing a name for the catolog and clicking "OK" it didn't respond to the third step to "Launch the Preferences

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 2022.  Can I display what lens was used or shutter speed or f-stop setting in the Organizer grid view?  Or is there another way I can find this lens information.  Thanks.

I have just installed Adobe Elements 2022 and the backgound/foreground colors are not displayed in the toolbar.  I have tried every way I can think of but cannot solve this problem. Installation is on Win10. Has this feature been eliminated on the 2022 version? 

Hi,I’m still struggling with this problem and would really appreciate some help with this.I recently purchased, downloaded and installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 2020 and Premiere Elements 2020 onto my iMac desktop. I’m running on OSX 10.13.6 Sierra - which is compatible with these versions of software.Elements and Premier open without issue but Elements Organiser does not. It crashes on start-up each time. Consequently, this renders Photoshop Elements to be useless unless resolved.So far I have tried:1 - Uninstall, restart and reinstall software.2 - Checked for updates to my graphics card.3 - Run a Disc Utilities diagnostics 4 - Turn off and on my Mac.5 - Started Organiser whilst holding down the Shift key without success.6 - Tried to update preferences but the instructions provided by Adobe do not match the options given on my computer.7 - Checked the Apple forums which appear to indicate that this could be an Adobe software problem.8 - Renamed the OLS folder to OLS_old.9 - Rena

Warum ist die Funktion "Mehrere Dateien verarbeiten" in Photoshop Elements 2022 zwar sichtbar, aber nicht aufrufbar?

I just got Photoshop Elements and I'm trying to import from my camera's card. I click on Import > From Camera or card Reader. Then I either don't get a dialog box, or it appears only briefly then disappears.
