Questions

My Elements 2019 died. It refused to close no matter what I did. So, I bought Elements 2021. When I try to open pictures from the organizer, they open, but are blurry,  it says file lost, click to reconnect. But then it asks what file I want to connect it to. I have 24K pictures and certainly can't do anything onsey twosey. How can I get the 2021 organizer and editor to play nice together? 

The pen is not working correctly in the editor. When hovering, the cursor appears correctly under the pen but putting the nib to screen the location if the cursor is displaced far to the right and down.Pen works correctly in other apps.I thought it was a scaling issue as default windows display is set to 200%, but switching to 100% has the same issue.

I have seen a video how to fit a new image automatically to the canvas in Photoshop, and was wondering if this can be done in PS Elements as well. In the full Photoshop under general preferences there is an option to, "resize image during place".  I know that it can be done manually in Elements, but it would save time if it could be done automatically. Example. I am working on an image in PS Elements. I wish to bring in another image on a separate layer that has different pixel dimensions. When i import the new image it could be larger or smaller than the existing canvas and I have to manually resize. Is there a way to have it automatically resize to the canvas size? Kind regardsChris

I created a PDF file from MS Word, and tried to open it in Adobe Photoshop.  I selected both pages, but when Adobe opened the file, it was a blank file without any of the original PDF.   Suggestions?

I recently ask a question on this forum and someone replied and said I could contact Adobe support directly and gave me the email address.  Adobe Systems Incorporated <adobe.community@yahoo.com> I reached out to them and they said I need to update from Photoshop Elements 14 to PSE 2020. I am willing to do this and the latest email from them is as follows:   From: Adobe Systems Incorporated <adobe.community@yahoo.com>Sent: Sunday, April 12, 2020 1:26 AMTo: Clint Holland Subject: Re: Selected Stars don't always show up?

I'm having the same problems on a Windows after installing Elements 2021, after upgrading from v17 .  No Editor. I have to use the TOPAZ editors instead because the Adobe ones don't work.  And from what I can read in Adobe's marketing mataerial, the editor won't work off=line anyway.  I do outdoors photography and edit in the field, far from the internet.  

In 2006 I bought a Plustek OpticFilm 7600i with SilverFast.  Looking at my old first scan images they were produced (saved?) in Photoshop 7.0. If I remember correctly Photoshop ‘called’ SilverFast to do the scanning and then were saved by Photoshop, which is now seen in the file’s properties. This year I purchased a new HPzBook running Windows 10 Pro 64bit.  I’ve bought the latest versions of SilverFast and Photoshop Elements 2020.  Both have been updated in the last few days to the latest release.  I saw that Photoshop bridge was also installed, when I installed the latest releases. However, I am unable to ‘call’ Silverfast from within Photoshop as I did in 2006. Has this feature been removed or have I yet to learn how to do it? 

I would be interested to learn if ythere is a way to:1- Automatically fill a circular mask to fill a frame2- Automatically centre a mask to the centre of the canvas or other object. I know how to do this manually, but it would be nice to find out if this can be done automatically to the exact pixel. Your advice would be appreciated.Kind regrds  Chris

hi.I wanted to do a re-install of my software after deleting some system files.When the DMG is finished being verified, i only get a window with a number of folder icons showing. It is not going into install.. and i dont see any installation icons.I do see one icon with a big red circle around it....  sort of looks like an error.. like i cant do something.. or it cant do something...i've never seen an error lile this.

I imported all my photos into PSE Organizer 2021.I wished to copy some files to another folder. Organizer allows "select" and "copy" but I can't see a "paste" command.I copied the files using Windows Explorer. I then right clicked on the destination folder in Organizer and imported the files. The photo thumbnails do not show in the destination folder.I tried another call to import the files but it says the file import for each file has been skipped as the files are already in the folder.I can't view the copied files in Organizer.I have deleted the Organizer "Catalog" and recreated it but the copied files still do not show up in Organizer.Why doesn't this work?How should I be doing this?ThanksSteve 

I just installed the new photoshop elements on my computer.  It worked at first, but after I closed it and reopened it, I couldn't get it to load.  It says Loading Photoshop Elements Editor Workspace and thinks for a while then nothing happens.  Please help!

Hello, I am a novice at using Photoshop and am having no luck with using the tooth whitening tool in "Quick" edit. I select the tool, highlight the required teeth and.....nothing happens! Am I missing something?

I just started using Elements 2021. The quick selection tool worked fine on the first photo I edited, but after that the normal circular shape of the tool changed into a shape like a cross, and it wouldn't select anything. The size and shape of the tool did not change when I pressed the bracket keys on my keyboard.  I restarted the computer and the tool went back to the normal shape, but when I began to edit a second photo it turned into the cross again. I can't find a way to repair the tool. Please help.

Some of the people in my photos are mostly referred to by nicknames, but not always.  I do not want to use diffeerent tags for any person.  I want to see a list of assigned face tags.  I can take screen shots of listings that use more than a single screen

Adobe has some guides in PDF that an overseas support person said he would download to my computer, but I cannot locate them.  Please tell me how to download them.

How can I get a straightforward slideshow in Organizer, without unwanted effects (b&w versions, pictures sliding over each other).   I just want an easy way to look at and judge my latest batch of photos.   Anyone help please?

When I select photos and select 'slideshow' it moves pictures around, creates b&w versions etc.   I just want a straightforward slideshow of my pictures.   Can I change the way it's done now?    Old version of Elements didn't do it. 

I am trying to back up my Photoshop Organizer on external hard drive, and 128,000 pictures to transfer to a new PC.  I depend on this as a photographer, it is 17 years work!  It has always worked in the pastWhen I backup it does 97% and then I get this message - ''C:\Users\ukphotos\Pictures\iCloud Photos\Photos\IMG_4151_edited1.jpg''  ( have changed it a little).  Know nothing about iCloud - and I cannot find 4151 in Organizer or my files.   Can somebody please help.  Can Adobe phone me or contact me?  Am willing to pay for help.

refine effect quit working in B&W color pop, low key, etc. even if i move opacity all the way to 0. will not add. will not subtract. i'm using elements 2019. this is the first time this issue has arose. i've tried multiple photos using RAW and JPEG. 

Everything was fine two days ago.  Now,  I cannot print without a background on my image.  The background is transparent in the workspace, but as soon as I choose print the background is back.  I have tried several ideas found in the forum, however these have not worked.  The only change made to my computer was to download an AP that would allow me to download HEIC pictures into elements.  I have uninstalled that, but no change was made.  Another issue that may be related, is that when I try to open a recently edited file, a message pops ups that says the file can not be found.  Ideas please

I am using Elements 2020 and after using the drop shadow in Styles, and going back to Layers, I find that the text effect box under Text now only brings up the shadows, instead the textures you can add to your text.This is happening under the Text tool, where there is a box towards the right-hand side of the screen, which should have the textures in it. How do I get those textures back? Thanks.

I posted this earlier tonight, but I posted a reply that added to my questions, and I'm afraid no one will answer my questions now since it looks like someone replied. So I combined my original question and the post that I added here:I am using Sandisk Extreme Compact Flash Cards. For the past week, when I try to upload photos into the Elements Organizer, the upload freezes. Sometimes it freezes at about photo number 160, sometimes earlier. This has happened with multiple flash cards. I have called Dell tech support twice requesting help for this problem. After I talked to them last week, I was able to upload my photos. But tonight, I tried uploading photos and it slowed down drastically. It slowed down at about 160 photos again, and then slowly uploaded photos up to number 301, at which time it froze for good (there were 755 photos on the card). I called Dell tech support again, and they found that a Windows update had stalled. The tech allowed the update to install, and then restarte

I am trying -- and mostly failing -- to utilize Elements Organizer, and in playing with the preferences I ended up on the Email page and tried to configure an email client. First, it refuses to accept GSuite/Workspace accounts as Gmail accounts, which is annoying in and of itself, but then that failed configuration is stuck as a email profile and there's no way to delete it. Or is there? Please let me know! Then I tried a regular gmail account, and Google blocked it as an unknown and "less secure app." That's concerning. Why is Adobe using "less secure" technology that Google wants to block? Unless this is a secret fight between the two companies that we're suffering, this makes me concerned about how secure the entire Elements package is.
