I just upgraded from PSe v9 to v2022 on Mac.  How do I set the blank workspace to transparent, so I can see all the files and folders underneath?  This is NOT about transparent backgrounds in images.  The old v9 did this by default.  If I launch PSe 2022 with no images, I get the whole screen covered with a grey workspace.  Annoying!

I have an old photoshop elements 10 that will not work on my new Imac24. Is i possible to upgrade, or do I need to get a new license

Can you mask part of the image when making changes in RAW files? Often I want to make changes to just part of the image - say to everything but faces in the photo. 

I'm runing Windows 10 Home on an HP Laptop - Bridge 12 0 1 246 and have installed PS, PSE 2022, PSE 2021 & PSE 2020 and Bridge 2020, 2021 & 2022. 1.  If I click once on a photo in Bridge it automatically opens in PS (which I do not want).  How do I stop this behavior of automatically opening PS (or any other program)?  I want to "view" my photos in the pre-installed Windows "Photo" program.  If I want to edit the photo, I want to specifically choose one of my PS or PSE programs with which to edit the photo.  I do not want the photos to ever automatically open in a PS or PSE Editor with a single or even a double click.2.  If I R-click to choose a program with which to open the photo I am only given PS or PSE 2020.  I'm not even given a "Browse for other options" choice. If I choose "Edit" > "Preferences" > "File Type Associations" and choose "Browse", it wants me to choose one in my (C:).  I wish to add the choice of P

Hi. I have bought Photoshop Elements 13 on a disc and have been using it for several years. I have it activated on two computers. A couple of weeks ago a window showed up every time I opened the program. The window said that program has been activated for more than two computers and that I need to deactivate another computer in order to run the program on this computer. I have not activated the program on another computer. I could still use the program but now I can't use the program anymore because of this. How do I deactivate the program on other computers if I don't know which computer it is? I have the disc and the serial number. Previous post on the forum says that you should be able to fix things similar to this if you go to the help menu but I can't find any way to go to the help menu. The windows pops up when I start the program and I can't access the program to change the settings of the program.

I have a mix of 12,000 photos and Videos residing on OneDrive.  (1TB storage with Office365).When I use the trial version of Organizer (that comes with Elements 2022) - it fails after about 50% of the way through a bulk import.  (I have purchased Elements but not applied key yet as I wanted to be sure all was working ok).Thumbnails appear for those items processed but when I try again (and again...) to run the bulk import - it just keeps either hanging or Organizer screen stops altogether and it goes back to the initial splash screen that Elements displays (where organizer can be started from initially).I tried turning off AntiVirus and stopping facial recognition scanning - but still hangs/fails.System is a Windows 11 laptop with i9, 32GB RAM and 2TB SSD.Windows fully up to date.Any help greatly appreciated.ThanksTony

Wie erhalte ich eine Fallnummer zur Übertragung einer Lizenz?

I have read that PS CC has a swirly bokeh feature, but Elements does not. Anyone know how to make this Bokeh?

I just installed PSE 2022. All the Layers options are grayed out. Image is 8 bits.

Hello all,I'm using PSE 2022. Is there a possibility to search for freely selectable IPTC keywords? The PSE menu <Search>  <Details (metadata)> offers a search criteria "Keyword-Tags", which only provides a list of all the Tags I've defined before.Best regards, Jürgen  

I have a licenced copy of Elements 14 (I verified this on my Adobe account).  Now when I start it up, I get a screen telling me that my "Free Trial" has expired.  There is no free trial!  I bought and paid for this product. How do I get around this? Thanks

I have a large number of files to convert from jpg to Tiff format.So I first tested using Photoshop Elements (2021) and Adobe Bridge. My question is with regards to these two fields: Document Type: TIFF imagePackage: Adobe Photoshop Elements 19.0 (Macintosh)File Size: 19.44 MBDimensions : 3005 x 2259Dimensions (in inches) 41.7" x 31.4"Resolution 72 ppiBit Depth: 8Color Mode: RGBColour Profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1----------------------------------------------Document Type : TIFF imagePackage: Adobe Bridge 2022 (Macintosh)File Size: 19.45 MBDimensions : 3005 x 2259Dimensions (in inches) 10.0" x 7.5"Resolution 300 ppiBit Depth: 8Color Mode: RGBColour Profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1  The question is, how come one says:10.0" x 7.5" at 300 ppiand the other says41.7" x 31.4" at 72 ppi for the same document?If someone can just explain what this means. Thanks.   

I upgraded from PSE9 to PSE 2022.  I'd like to convert my PSE9 catalog, but the catalog manager can't find the catalog file.  I'm sure the catalog.pse9db is on my system (see attached screen shot).  What am I doing wrong? Thanks,Jon.

Inwisselcode en serienummer zijn correct, maar zodra de computer zegt van nu download : gebeurd er niets.Versie Windows :10

Nach dem Wechsel der Hardware nach einem defekt lässt sich Photoshopelements nicht wieder aktivieren. Zuerst wurde der Fehler ausgegeben das die Maximale anzahl der Installationen überschritten ist, eine Deaktivierung ist direkt nicht möglich da die Hardware defekt ist, eine Option Photoshop Elements  über die Adobe ID zu deaktivieren gibt es nicht.Nach mehrmahligen probieren wird inzwischen ein Problem mit der Seriennummer gemeldet.

This must be simple but I just can't figure it out.   I'm making an instruction sheet illustration and have steps (step 1, step 2, etc.) for the user to follow. At the end of each step I need to insert an arrow pointing to a line. How do I insert, or type, an arrow into the line of text? For example, "Step 1, fold paper on this line" with an "up" arrow at the end of that sentence pointing to the line.  Thnaks in advance. 

Hello,I used the Organizer (v18) as part of Photoshop Elements 2020. I am a heavy user of face recognition and like it, when the program asks me "is this...?" and you only have to hit yes or no.The "no" button very often did not work at all. I restarted the program, reinstalled it, restarted the computer etc. But the "no" button (as highlighted in yellow in the attached image - German version) was still not working. So I updated to the newest Elements Version of 2022, which gives me the Organizer (v20) in a new style with some new functions.But still, the issue remains: as seen in the image, I cannot click no. Either I click yes and then change it manually, or I leave it.Oh by the way: When I manually add the name on a face instead, it will show me the question anyhow "is this...?" when I hover my mouse over the face. Here is the system information of both programs (in German language). I was hoping that it was finally solved with the new version 😞 Elements Organ

This is probably a simple question.  When I edit a photo in Guided mode, say, Brightness and Contrast, and then want to use Sharpen in Guided mode, how do I find it?  If I select "Next," it suggests I either Save or continue editing in Basic or Expert modes, but not how to find other kinds of effects in Guided mode.   Any help?

When I select a person PSE2020 suggests a name. If that is not correct, I am unable to reject that name. The "x" for rejecting the name does not work.  This happens quite often, but not all the time.  Sometimes it works as it should, ie I reject the suggestion and enter the real name.  

Another Mac M1 post about functionality. Mac Mini 16GB/2TB with Big Sur 11.6.5. I have looked for solutions in multiple forums without a positive outcome and am very familar with the pains of using PSE on Macs over the years. Currently using PSE 2020. I have issues with Beachball when using trackpad and scrolling through pictures, but that I can deal with even though it is frustrating. My current catalog has over 16k files. I was able to Backup Catalog 2 months ago to the same drive, after a couple attempts, but I am unable to to so now. I even tried a different drive. In BU Cat it goes through the usual steps for full BU and even lets me designate drive and folder. When I choose to BU "Please wait...prepares for backup..." Beachball spins irratically and Organizer program shows "not responding". I am cautious about upgrading to Catalina with Elem 2020 because it may make matters even worse. I am willing to purchase ANOTHER PSE version but am wondering whether I should get El

Hi. I'm using photoshop elements 14 for windows 10 (I own a license) and I'm thinking to upgrading it to version 22. Can I do it with a license upgrade or I must buy a full license again ? I'm asking that because a lot of years have passed since the 14 version.

Elements 18 (2020) starts to open but doesn't complete the opening.  Using iMac Catalina 10.15.7. Had a a similar issue with Mac OS and new M1 chip but that was corrected by changing the sniffer file. Tried that withthe Catalina OS but it didn't work.   Any ideas on how to fix this issue?  Thank you. Here's a look at a part of the log:"Process: Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor [95545]Path: /Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 2020/*/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Photoshop Elements EditorIdentifier: com.adobe.PhotoshopElementsVersion: 18.0 [20200120.m.139570] (18.0.0.0)Code Type: X86-64 (Native)Parent Process: ???
