Questions

All of a sudden, I can't see my selected files in the photo bin.  Specifically of files from batches older than 2024.  Any idea what's going on and how to fix?  

Is there a way to delete duplicate photos other than marking them one at a time?I have 8000 photos in my Catalog and several are duplicates! I'm not quire sure how these duplicates were generated.

I own a cd of Photoshop Elements 24 But I downloaded from the Web.  I have installed it on a Surface Laptop.  Once installed it  takes five minutes at least to open up the editor.  On my previous computer it opened up in seconds.  What is the problem?   What do I do?

Hi,Hope you're well. I'm having issues trying to reinstall my copy of Photoshop Elements that I purchased a few years back. I've just done a harddrive cleanup and full Windows reinstall, and I'm trying to get my software running again. I've tried to install it a bunch of times, but each time I do it says I need to sign in to my Adobe account, and when I do it takes me to the terms agreement which I accept, and then it closes completely - when I open it again, it does the same thing, leaving me on and endless loop of succesfully signing in and then the software not working. I tried both "I have purchased" entering my serial number, and "I want to try", both with the same result. This morning I decided to give the offline activation a bash, which seemed to be going a lot better than the normal account sign in method - I can actually get the software open. But once I try do the actual offline activation, I enter in the request code and my serial, it says activation limit reached

 I am trying to change the overall temperature of a photo from cool to warmer. I do not see any temperature controls under "Enhace>Adjust Color" . Is there a simple slider control hidden somewhere for making an entire photo warmer or cooler? this seems basic yet i can't find it anywhere. thanks!

The current version might be compatible with modern operating systems but PSE 2025 will not support the NIK collection of plugins such as sSilver Effects and Vazera. Hence the need to install PSE 2019 and 2025!

I just loaded Elements 2025 and I can't figure out how to resize the applications window. I'm running a Mac M2 Max with Ver 15.1.1The Green button does maximize the window and I can drag the window around, but I can't resize it.  I'm probabaly doing something goofy, but I'm stuck. Thanks for your help.

When i launch my Eloements 2020 and go into Organizer to startr doing some work I get a notice to update both PS Elements 2020 and Camera Raw 12.  When I click on Update now I get a box telling me that I need a new app to open this auphd link.  Go to MS Store or the other option is Always use this app.  I click on always use this app but then cannot click OK

Hi, I bought Photoshop elements 2024 and installed Adobe camera raw 16 but it doesn't open the Sony a1 files.  The Sony a1 ARW are supported since 13.1 Adobe camera raw version.  Why I can't open the files with 16 version?

Upgrading to Windows 11 and trying to install old licensensed PE10 caused a Windows crash. Seems like the consensus is to just upgrade to PE2025 (and being forced into periodic 3 year future upgrade cycles). But, the main question, is whether the new PE2025 will be able to accept/process/restore a full backup created by PE10? That is crucial .. otherwise might as well junk Photoshop altogether and choose something if I need to reimport and reorganize all of my photos from raw backups.

Photoshop Elements 2025 on WIndows 11 freezes when opening any kind of RAW file including DNG files.

I have the free 30-day trial of the current version of PSE for evaluation. The details on the screen are tiny! Please can you tell me how to enlarge it? I’m on a Lenovo Yoga 7i, Win 11, i5 with Iris graphics so I think the pc is up to it! Display is 14" FHD IPS (1920 x 1080) 300 nits, wide viewing angle touchscreen, 72% NTSC, 16:9, anti-glare. Altering UI only enlarges the cursor, not the screen. TIA 

I have just upgraded to PE2025 from PE2020.At the bottom of the list of My Folders are Theme 1 to 6 and Themes.How can I remove them.

Hi - this is an ongoing annoying issue...if i have 10 tabs (each one with a separate image) open in PE, and I want to print one of the images, I have to first "remove" each image one by one from the print window. Otherwise it will automatically print the image that is at the top of the list.  i am consistently printing the wrong images because of this clumsy feature. Is there any preference i can click on that will allow me to CHOOSE which image i want to print, rather than have to remove all the images I DON'T want to print? I hope theres some way to do this! thanks

When processing multiple files, PS 14 shows a status bar, like this, that's not visible on 2025.  Is there a way to activate this feature? 

I got a new computer with Windows 11 I cannot load Elements 10 with my discs as the computer cannot accept them. I need something for Windows 11

Before MS support expires I just replaced  my Win 10 PC with a new PC running Win 11 Pro, and wanted to move my PSE23 catalog and files to the new PC.  I successfully made a full backup on the old PC ready to restore on the new one.  Then I downloiaded PSE23  from my Adobe account into the new PC and tried to install it.  It whizzed through about 80% of the installation, then stopped.  I tried several more times, unsuccessfully.  I received error message 183 on most tries.As the following extract from the Adobe installation log shows the first "Fatal" error 183 appeared at 10:14:28 and the subsequent text seems to indicate it was something to do with a "ZIP archive" (whatever that is) that could not be satisfactorily closed. I'm sad my new computer behaved so badly and that I will no longer have convenient PSE access to my thousands of photos.  So would be very grateful if anyone can point me in the direction of a solution. I had hoped to fi

I have some old very pixilated photo I"d like to try to fix. Any suggestions?

I have been using PSE 2024 on my new Windows 11 24H2 computer for a couple of weeks with no problems. Today, for some inexplicable reason, it refudes to open. I can open Organiser but not the Editor and that's what I want to use.I uninstalled the original installation and re-installed it which all went fine but when I select the Editor icon all I get is the 'busy' wheel for a minute or so and that disappears but nothing else happens.Help!Cheers.

Hi, does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove purple tint on a person's glasses?I had done this a few years back in an older version of Elements and now I'm using Elements 2025 and can't seem to find or figure out the steps.I know I have to select the area and I can remove the color so then it's kind of gray but I can't figure out how to get the flesh color back then. This is covering the whole glasses and not just a spot of purple.Any help would be appreciated. I've also been trying to find on the internet but not having any luck yet.Thank you.

Hi,When I try to load a file to edit from the Organizer I get the message: "Cannot initialize elements because the disk is full". When I search for help on the topic it tells me that I need at least 3GB of storage to load the software.Currently, my C drive is showing 128MB free. I have gone through to see what temporary files can be deleted.What else can I do to clear room?

Hi, I just purchased Photoshop Elements 2024 and I can't open HEIC files.  I have installed the HEIC and HEVC extensions and then cleared the media cache, following the instructions on this page,  which appears in PE's error message and in various threads in this community. I encountered this problem first in Windows 11, then tried in Windows 10 and had the same experience. Is there something I'm missing?  Any new information about this issue?
