I have PSE 2019 installed on my Mac and on my Windows10 PC.When I make a (multilayered) PSD file on my Mac and transfer it to my PC, I can open that file in PSE, but the layers are gone. PSE shows the image as a JPEG. Yes, the file has the psd extension. Is there a solution for this problem?

I have been using Photoship Elements 2020 on my Mac (Big Sur) for awhile, and today the photo editor stopped working today.  I get the "Loading Photoshop Element Editor Workspace" message and then nothing. I have seen several messages to reinstall, so I have reinstalled several times and nothing. What is odd is that after reinstallaiton, I thought it would ask me for the serial number, but it does not.  It just times out.  No errors.

Just re - installed and did updates for Elements 19 on windows device but I am not able to open sone Jpeg files while others are okay.  How do I fix this error?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if Adobe still supports Photoshop Elements 13, as of April 2021? I also saw some developer notes that said Elements 13 no longer supported Photoshop RAW pictures. Does this mean all RAW pictures, or just certain ones? 

I have been using Photoshop Elements 12 on my Computer (s). Since I bought the dvd when it first was introduced. And I have never ever had a single problem . I still have the original disc and pass key, but just recently on a New computer, Similiar to my others, it now say that I have to many computers attached to this program and requests a new serial number. I paid almost 300.00$ new for this program and I know it is old but it is very reliable and I do not want to lose it. Can you help I am on a HP 17" all in one PC.

Thank you for the link.

I just purchased PSE 2021 and it appears you must remain logged in, in order to use this program. Maybe I am "old school", but this is the first time this has happened to me with an actual piece of software that I have purchased, rather than with, say, a subscription to a newspaper.  So I am a bit concerned by this, because businesses that force you to stay logged in typically track and monetize your behavior.   So I would like to know: what does Adobe have the right to keep track of, in terms of my use of this software?  Do they have the right to keep track of which features of the software I use?  How often I use them?  How long I spend using the program?  Information about what kind of camera I used to take my photos, and other metadata?  What about tracking of my behavior elsewhere on my computer - do they have the right to gather information about what other programs I have/am using on my computer?  My behavior while using other pr

Windows 8 . I am getting code 160 which relates to permissions.  I am the administrator. I have gone to the registry (REGISTRY!!!). Haven't been there in 20 years.  I changed permission on everything I recognize as relating to the product.  My product loads to around 65%.  One of the places it suggests is in the Windows app path Photoshop.exe, but I don't have Photoshop.exe in that place? 

So I had no problems importing HEIC photos into Organizer and opening in Elements 2020.  However, after doing an edit, something as simple as a rotation I'm not able to keep (Save) the file in HEIC format, only the other options as seen below. I hope there's a way to Save As HEIC; but, couldn't find how? Thanks!  

Shooting mostly RAW. The RAW files are first viewed and culled in FastRawViewer. Next, a chosen image is sent to DxO PL4 Elite for initial processing, and then finished off in PSE 18 and PSE's NIK, if needs be.  BTW, I don't go directly from PL to its NIK because it just takes too long.  Once in PSE,  NIK opens much quicker. So, here are the problems:1.  If PSE hasn't been opened yet, when it is called to open the file from PL, it opens with the NIK palette also opened.  I always want NIK to open with PSE.2.  If PSE is already opened, when it is called to open the file fro PL, the NIK palette is not opened and has to be opened manually from either PSE File or PSE Filters. Why isn't NIK's palette opening under this condition?3.  After finishing processing in PSE, saving it, and then closing the image from PSE, the opened NIK palette will close also. Why does the NIK palette close while PSE is still open and the processed image is closed?4. When I go to

[1] When I open a RAW photo with Elements the first thing I see is a nice panel of controls on the right side of the screen that I will call PANEL A, shown in the screenshot below --To close this workspace, I click a little button marked OPEN (right side of screen bottom) which saves the picture with any changes made with the controls on the right side of the screen, and then opens up a new set of controls, shown in the screen shot below, which I will call PANEL B QUESTION:  Is there a way to revert to PANEL A while in the PANEL B environment ?

Ok.  I'm a Photoshop Infant.  I have lots of Ancestor photos in rough chronological order under their own People Tags.  My siblings want copies, & I want to delete some. But when I copy them to a stick and open the stick, they're all out of order and I lose the captions. Can someone tell me how to correct either of these issues?

Just out of curiosity, and to solve a nagging tought at the back of my brain, in what order does Elements decide to do its backup, largest first, smallest first, date created/imported, file name or type or any other criteria?  Or is it totally random? Not vastly important in the scheme of things, but I just wonderedjohn

Hi. Any advice before I ditch Photoshop after a dozen years? 2020 and 2021 versions of Photoshop elements loads and works (usually) without a problem, but when I close the Mac at the end of the end, it system hangs. Checking the crash logs, I get messages like this. I have switched off the infuriating Autocreations, but...  If I remove Photoshop, the computer behaves normally. When I re-install, though, the crashes reucr.
