Replacing failing laptop with a new one.  How do I transfer Photoshop Elements 15 to the new laptop?

I have seen a similar post but I never got a good answer.  My father-in-law has Elements 15.  He just bought a Kodak Slide and Scan for his old slides.  The Slide and Scan saves images to an SD card and you can import the files from the SD card.  The Slide and Scan names there files IMAGxxxx.jpg and there is no way to have it save as anything else.  The images import into Elements just fine until the SD card is full.  When you wipe it out or use a new one the Slide and Scan starts naming the files IMAG0001.jpg and on up from there.  Once you try to import those new files then Elements gives you a duplicate file message and the photo does not import.  I was under the impression that Elements did not use just the file name but date, time and file size as well.  This does not seem to be the case sine the photo imports just fine if I rename the file.  Can someone explain what is going on?

Photoshop Elements 2020, it is not in the Edit menu, nor is it in the Transform menu. Why do the sadistic designers at Adobe feel the need to move everything around so often and constantly make the UI worse every single year... I have watched 50 tutorials and every single one has a different location for the warp or puppet warp functionality. I am losing my mind.

Where is the colour box in PE 2022? I never know what colour I've got on anymore, and to choose a colour I have to open the colour swatch and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the colour chooser up - the only option to bring it up so I can put in a hex code is when I'm typing or making a shape. But if I'm using a brush then I'm stuck with the swatch.    It just seems like a really stupid thing to have removed from the toolbar and I can't find how to fix it and I'm considering asking for a refund so I can buy PE 2021 instead and have my colour box back!   [edited by moderator]

Hi All, My old computer just died and my Elements backup was a few months old.  I have access the the files on the old hard drive. Is it better to copy the files directly onto my new computer? when I load them import them into my new Elements, will all the key words and tags still be there? orIs it better to restore the catalogue from the older backup and try to find any new files that may have been added since the last backup? There are like 15000 photos and it would be very difficult to lose all the tags. Help, Roy

I recently had to have my hard drive replaced and now need to install everything all over agin.I am having a problem doing this as I can't find a number on the box that is long enough to be the serial number.I tried a few others that I had noted which were earlier editions but of course they did not work also.Has anyone else here ever had that problem, and if so how did you get this insrtalled?

A user in a FB group wants to know how to turn off the x,y coordinate display (as seen in the image) when moving something... something I've never really noticed before, but for me, is useless.   When using the arrow keys, the coordinates do not display.  I've tried al lthe usual stuff in preferences, but suspect it's just an odd keyboard shortcut. 

I am currently runing Photoshop Elements ver 2018 and Premiere Elements ver 14.If I purchase the Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 2022 upgrade, will this safely upgrade both of my current applications to the 2022 versions?

I used photomerge.I've 2 images. I clicked one. How do I click on another pic and move it to the same picture? How do I use the match color to blend 2 images together?  

After launching pse 2021 sometimes a popup window appears with a message that an error report is generated.Within this window I may send this report to Adobe by pressing the submit button.However I want to read first what the error/failure is. There is no facility in that window to read that.Is there an other way to read what the error is? 

I have 3 groups of photos that I put into one folder & saved. I then changed the names of the individual photos so that they would appear in the correct order & resaved the folder. When I imported the folder into the Organizer 2020 to print contact sheets, the individual photos reverted to their original order.How can I fix this OR is there any way to move individual photo around in Organizer 2020 so that they're in the order I want? 

I formerly used the Clarity Slider in my Photoshop subscription. I've canceled that subscription. I'm thinking of purchasing Elements 2022: Does Elements 2022 have the same clarity slider in its camera raw component that Photoshop has? 

I recently purchased a Wacom Intuos Creative Pen Tablet and have been trying to set PSE 2019 Edit > Brush Settings > Size and Tolerance but I get the message "Control by pen pressure requires the use of a pressure sensitive tablet".I've looked through similar posts on this issue and de-selected "Use Windows Ink" under the Wacom Tablet Properties > Mapping.Any help would be gratefully accepted.

I created an event for Xmas 2021. Now I want to add photos to that event. How do I do that please? Did not find anything in Adobe help files or community. Thanks.

Is there a version photoshop Elements for Mac in Dutch Language? 

Hi,I had an earlier thread, https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-elements-discussions/photoshop-elements-2021-does-or-does-not-support-a7iv-raw-arw-files-yet/m-p/12619206#M77021, about getting PSE 2021/ACR working with Sony A7iv RAW?ARW files, and, in that thread, I was given a solution that worked for me (by upgrading the ACR in PSE 2021 to ACR 14.1). One of the users over at another forum was asking about PSE 2022 and Sony A7iv RAW/ARW files, and I had pointed them to that thread that I linked above, but they tried that, and it didn't work.  They have apparently been told that that didn't work because ACR 14.1 is not compatible with PSE 2022.  Does anyone know if that is correct? Also, if ACR 14.1 is not compatible with PSE 2022, is the expectation that a later ACR version (e.g., ACR 14.2 or greater) WILL be compatible with PSE 2022? Or is there NO intention to have an ACR that will work with PSE 2022, and if that case, does that mean that PSE 2022 w

Adobe Photoshop Elements Version: 20.0 (20220217.Git.dot.e5d7dda)  x64. Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit.  Trying to color a picture.  Brush mode is color, image MODE RGB color.  I can paint with any color, red, Green, blue or anything in between.  When I Selected the default color black (foreground), it actually removes the color.  Selecting the default White (background) does the exact same thing.  Image set to normal blend mode.  The update just came up this evening so  I did it.  I have completely removed the elements installation and reinstalled with the exact same results.  All other functions seem to be operating normally.  When the brush mode is set to normal, black and white work but of course you can’t see through it.  Tried multiple images.  I created a solid black layer and filled it with black, added a layer mask.  Black revels and white conceals.  Modes set to normal.  Have reloaded pr

I am setting up a new computer.  I have copied all the photos from the old computer to the new computer to an identical address, ie. C:\Picture Organizer.  I have the backup catalog on an external hard drive.  When I started to restore it to the c:drive it said an identical folder already existed and asked if I wanted the files to be added to the same folder.   I was afraid I might end up with duplicate photos if I accepted.  Since I have over 4000 photos I didn't want that to happen.  Can you tell me if the actual photos are backed up with the catalog backup or are they only thumbnails.

   Can somone tell me what the eye with the slant through it in the bottom left corner means in this thumbnail. I see it a lot but it doesn't seem to be defined anywhere.Thanks,   

J'ai acheté ce logiciel "By Eptimum" une première fois en février 2021 et une deuxième fois en septembre 2021, par erreur. Depuis j'essaye de l'installer et je n'y arrive pas.J'ai téléchargé une nouvelle fois et comme d'habitude à la fin de téléchargement j'ai eu le message suivant : "Veuillez quitter la procédure et le lancer manuellement (Code d'erreur : 199).  Je suis très déçu car j'ai acheté 2 fois ce logiciel et depuis le mois de février 2021 je ne suis pas arrivé une seule fois à l'utiliser.J'ai prix conseil auprès de mon vendeur enfin celui que l'on m'a imposé et à aucun moment je n'ai eu de solution conernant ce type d'erreur, c'est lamentable.Si vous avez une solution à ce problème je suis preneur, merci.Salutations.JP.ARONDEL

I originally used PSE 2021 without any issues until I upgraded my OS to macOS Monterey. Now PSE 2021 won't launch at all, and searching online for a work around / updates, I can't make sense of what I can do to over come this problem. Do I have to purchase PSE 2022 ... another $60-70, again?
