Questions

Every time I start PSE 2021 I get this notification. I don't need or want any updates. What and how do I delete/disable  this so it never pops up again?

I am at my wits end.  I have had Adobe on my computer and so far they cannot correct the problem.  I purchased a software card for Photoshop Elements 2021 from Best Buy.  Thought I was purchasing software that I would install on my computer.......Never dreamed this is Adobe's way of controlling us by not letting us have software on our computer.  Anyway, I digress.  I installed, uninstalled, reinstalled a dozen times and so did they but nothing has stopped the endless sign in loop when trying to access the photo editor of Photoshop Element 2021.  Anyway have a fix that little ole me can do.  Other wise I wasted $100 and will NEVER use Adobe products again because this is ridiculous! 

Just upgraded very smoothly from PE13 to PE2021. All went fine. One small issue: I used to have a black background for the Organizer with all the thumnails of my pictures. It is now white/grey and cannot find the option to change this into black again. Wher can I find it?

I now use Photoshop Elements and consider to upgrade to 2021. Is it possible/easy to import my current PE13 version catalogue into PE2021?

After updating to the latest release of Elements 2021 I can no longer view any images once I double click on the thumbnail. A grey box with a question mark shows up on the screen. Doesnt matter if the image is JPEG or RAW.  Any insights? 

I recently had to replace the hard drive in my laptop. I have so far spent over 20 hours this week trying to reinstall my photoshop elements software and premiere software.  I've been online with the adobe support for a long time this morning but have been on hold for over half an hour.  Can anyone recommend good alternative photo editing software ?

salvenon capisco perchè nonostante il software sia aggiornatissimo, mi ripete da sempre gli stessi problemi..se seleziono l'opzione " Elabora più file " ed a tal fine, indico le immagini contenute in una cartella affinchè proceda per tutte al " ridimensionamento " o alla   " miglioria automatica " delle immagini...il software inizia l'elaborazione, ma, dopo poche immagini elaborate si blocca dicendo " che non è possibile elaborare una determinata immagine poichè aperta in altre applicazioni " cosa che, di fatto, non corrisponde alla realtà. Le immagini non sono aperte in altre applicazioni. E cosi continua con frequenza a bloccarsi con altre immagini immotivatamente. Il problema maggiore è che è necessario ripartire sempre il tutto da zero, rielaborando tutte le immagini della cartella, poichè diversamente, il programma rimane bloccato e non procede con le restanti immagini .. ???bisognerebbe sanare il bug o in alternativa, far si che se riscontra un problema su un immagine O

When I attempt to use the replace sky function in Perfect Landscape it is inconsistent. On some of my images it works fine, but on others, it does not replace the sky. Has anyone else had this problem? if so, is there a fix? 

I was looking at my Photoshop Elements 15 organizer and noticed that 3 years of my folders were missing (2004 to 2006) from my catalog from 2003 to present. I did a lot of work on my catalog these past two weeks (when I did my last incremental backup) and would rather not restore from there if those folders were also missing then and I just didn't notice.  I have no idea how these folders actually disappeared and when I do a "find" for specific photo files they don't appear.  All of these folders are still on my hard disk, so only deleted from photoshop, but have no idea how this could have happened (years of tagging, descriptions, etc.).How do I open files in my backup to see if any of these missing photos are there before I restore and lose all the work that I have done?Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

I am using a Wacom 2019 intuos Pro tablet with Elements 2020. Everything works except the "Redo" function cannot be programmed in the Wacoms express keys. All other desired functions work on the express keys. Redo can be programmed in any other app, just not Elements. Any ideas on how to make this work?

   I just updated from Elements 12 to 2021.  There have been significant changes to Elements in the past 9 years.  Is it possible to make a slideshow without using the templates in the Organizer?

I'm currently running PSE 15 on Windows 10 and want to upgrade to PSE 2021.I have a rather big catalog in Organizer so I whant to be sure of the upgrade path. Is it possible to go directly from 15 to 2021 without messing up the Organizer catalog? Or do I have to jump via another version?/ Christian

I recently updated to the 2021.1 update of Photoshop Elements, and now my Wacom Intuos M tablet causes hang and crash in PSE.  No other software changes have been made.  I am on Win10 64 Bit with latest Windows updates (applied before PSE update) Anyone else having the smae issue?  How can I fix this?

Hi I have been using Photoshop Elements 12 Editor for several years now. Whenever I try and save anything it crashes. Anyone have any ideas on what I need to do? I tried to contact adobe and the virtual chat said 'We didn't find a supported product in your account'.  Cheers!Suzi

We are happy to announce the release of Photoshop Elements 2021.2!    Build: 20210304.m.156367     After the update is installed, verify the build number by choosing Help > About Photoshop Elements.    Fixed issues in the 2021.2 update Application crashes while using touch pen with tablets.  Application crashes while using the crop tool.  Application crashes sometimes during exit.     Apply the update in one of the following ways:  Click Install Now or Install On Exit in the update message displayed in Photoshop Elements Choose Help > Updates (when the update message is not displayed)

Is the organizer rebuilt when there is a new release of the editor?  The build numbers are different, so it is unclear if the organizer was recreated also.

My catalog and backup are stored on external hard drives.  Unfortunately one crashed and when I opened up Elements 2020 my catalog was gone.  I still have backups on another external drive, so I restored my catalog, but I accidentally restored an old backup.  That backup does not have all the keywords that I want.  How can I restore the most recent catalog?  Do I have to uninstall Elements 2020 and reinstall it? Thanks.

Hi, Just seen the promised Photoshop Elements 2021.2 Update has been released today. No new features, but some important bug fixes - including the one for using touch pens and tablets 🙂 Thanks Adobe! Updates for Photoshop Elements and Camera Raw Edit: Looks like only the Editor application gets an update (moves up to Build:20210304.m.156367) while the Organizer remains at Build:20210126.m.155261 aka 2021.1

Hi, especially for photo editing I bought the Acer Spin3 laptop because of the possibility to work with te touchscreen and stylish pen. Unfortunately Adobe Elements 2021 crashes when I use the touchscreen or stylishpen. Does someone know why or whats a possibility? Thanks a lot!

Getting this error message  "This app can't run on your PC.  To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher"  This is only happening with Photoshop Elements 2021.  I had no problems with Premeir Elements 2021 .  I have updated to the most recent version of Windows 10.  My computer is less than 1 year old   have also tried to install while all antivirus software and firewalls disabled. What do I need to do?

This is the 2nd time this has happened. I use PSE 21 on Windows 10. I use A LOT of styles and have probably over 100 loaded in PSE. However, each time an update has happened (which has been both times since I have upgraded to 21), EVERY SINGLE STYLE was deleted from my PSE. Reloading every single style one by one (since I don't know any other way to do it) is VERY frustrating and time-consuming. Is there a way to keep this from happening other than to just not do any further updates? Or is there a way to reload them in bulk? 

I have catalog of 20k pictures and glancing through I have broken thumbnails for a small percentage (1-2%).  I tried the "rotate 4x" and "update thumbnail" tricks to no avail and when opening the file with PSE Editor, I'm informed they are corrupt. Fortunately I have backups which look valid (I can preview & open using Windows Explorer).  Would I simply replace the corrupt file with the good one by copying the good file on top of the corrupt one?  One of the files from the 4 circled has long file name that ends with "UTC)", what is that?  Windows 10Elements Organizer 19.0.0.0Core Version: 19.0 (20210126.m.155261)
