Questions

I am using Photoshop Elements 2019 on a Mac running Catalina. I know there are issues with this version of PSE running Catalina, but up until this week, I have not had any problems when working in the Editor. I am in the Expert version and trying to drag a layer from one creation to a new one, both are the same size, and it will not drop into the new layer. It won't even let me copy or cut that layer to be able to paste into the new document. I do this all the time and it was working perfectly until now. I also noticed that I cannot update PSE 2019. I'm not particulary interested in updating to PSE 2020 at this stage, as it is likely that another new version is soon to be released. Can anyone offer any tips to get this to work?

[Cursing removed by moderator]   Suddenly, on Mac OS-X Big Sur (V. 11.1), I can no longer open ANY files in my Adobe Photoshop Elements 14.  Further, I can't find anyplace on the Adobe website to update my Elements OR to update to a  2021 version.   This is business software for me, and I need to use it NOW.  How can I get a working version of Photoshop Elements up and running immediately?

I and a number of others have experienced what can only be described as either a bug or a conflict between the Organizer (2021) and Windows 10, latest version. When opening the Organizer, it opens to full screen and freezes the pull-down menus. It is resolved only if you go to the upper right Window square and reduce the Window size.  This occurs when the Task Bar is set to "Automatically hide the Taskbar". What are the chances that Adobe will correct this bug anytime soon?  I rather like the Task Bar to be automatic and not having to reduce the Window every time I open the Organizer.  My Version 9 of Elements never had this problem.

I'm trying to use 'Object Removal' in Elements 2021 but whatever method I use (brush, lasso, auto or quick) all it does is overlays a different section of the picture in the area I want to remove. How do I overcome this?

Does anyone know of a iris and field blur plugin for elements?Thank you

I am converting an image from the tiff format to jpeg using Save As. In the past the program would automatically add the extension. But now I have to erase tif and type in jpg. This appears to work, but I think it should be automatic.

Hello I am using adobe photoshop 13, I reinstalled it on my new computer but the display is extremely small! I can't find a way to make the display bigger (task bar, buttons) anywhere and even the adobe hotline referred me to the forum. Can someone help me please?(sorry for my english, I'm french)

Hi. I just bought PSE 2021 and it's not letting me install. Code 195. Asks for a minimum of Mac OS 10.11, yet my system is at 10.13.6Can anyone help? ThanksDaniel 

Running Mojave 10.14.6  on late 2012 macmini  Try to save an edited photoshop elements 2021 file to an external hard drive and get access not available message.actually can't save it anywhere. 

Hello, I just installed PSE 2021. When starting the software (Editor) for the first time, I'm asked to register. After entering ID and Password, the software should then ask for the serial number. Instead, it freezes for a few seconds and then returns back to the first window, asking again for registration. I checked my account on the adobe website and it works with my ID and password. I also switched of my virus protection and firewall in order to make sure it doesn't block the process. Nothing works, I'm still stucked in the first step for registration. Thanks for any help

Hello, is it possible to save/export the settings of Photoshop Elements 2021, e. g. to import them later on a newer computer?

PS Elements 5.Old but still useful.Recently the prompt ..."The current Organiser Catalogue has not been initialised" has been appearing on start up....after a Windows 10 reset.I don't reqire it and have never used it....(from new!).How do I remove the prompt Please?

This is bizarre...Using  Mac PS Elements 2020 18.0 on Catalina 10/15.7...   In the past 3 days, a few dozen .jpegs that began as Screen Shots have all been transformed magically into .ims files and will not open in PSE ...nor will they reconvert by simplying overwritign the format back to jpg or jpeg. WTF?What's more, many older screen shots and renamed screen shot images that were JPEGs  have just ... disappeared completely. Of my main, external, and backup drives.I have not upgraded/updated teh MAc OS, and I do not believe any Adobe PSE updates slipped through. I think. But what would DO this?

I've had version 20 for 5 months. It's always been fast no problems. Last 2 weeks it's slowed to a crawl and I can't save scrap pages - I'm told they are over 2GB and they cerainly aren't. I've uninstalled and reinstalled no different. 

When I run the editor program on my laptop the menu fonts are much smaller than the fonts on the drop down items.  If I change the display and cursor preference settings to the next larger size, (which is 200%),  then the dialog boxes do not fit on the screen,  For example if I try to apply a filter the "accept" text box is not available because it cant be seen because I cannot see the entire pop up window.  Please change the 200% value to a more usable value like 150% so all of the program can be seen.  

I installed Photoshop Elements 2021 and am in the process of Convert catalog.  I have a large catalog (over 80,000 images, catalog is 456MB) with all of them tagged.  The process has now been running for over 6 hours.  What is this process doing?  The images should not be moving as I understand it.  All linkages from the PSE 15 catalog to the images are there.

I have recently purchased a Dell with elements 2020.  Im not the most technical when using stuff and it won't let me install and shows an error each time. Attached pic.Cam anyone advise what I need to do?Many thanks Caroline 

Ich habe vor ca. 10 Jahren Photoshop Elements 7 gekauft und möchte es mal wieder nutzen. Die Seriennummer steht auf der Rückseite der CD Hülle. Allerdings wird mir bei der Eingabe der Seriennummer gesagt, dass die Seriennummer ungültig ist. Was kann ich da tun?

I have  had  conversation with folks  in the  Photoshop forum where  I was  told that if  the  user  has photoshop elements it is  impossible to using the  masking option, in that it simply will not work.I can verify this  because  I have  used  elements for  several years  and  have  had  zero success.I was  told  this morning from a  source  outside the  forums  that this  is  an Adobe  marketing strategy where information is  deliberately supressed so that the  user is  forced tobuy into a  monthly premium to have  this  tool work proerly.SO, PSE  users.. if  you are having zero success with masking in Elements... this  is  why! 

I have encountered an issue with trying to install Photoshop Elements 12 on the new computer with Windows 10.The program got installed but appears to be in a miniaturized version - not scaling properly to the screen.Please see the screenshots below My display resolution is 3840x2400. The Photoshop Elements settings in Display & Cursors don't have option to change to the high resolution display settings.Is there any way to make this work?I would appreciate if one can suggest a way to fix it without just going for the newer version of the software.Thank you and kind regards

I am trying to get through my GUI problems.  I havent found a way to turn off or undock the bar at the bottom of the main window ( the one with photo bin and undo redo)  I thought if I could view the image full screen it would help me see it better.  I have tried F11 with no luck.  Any help would be welcome.

I want to upgrade my Photoshop software from the 6 version.  If I buy and install Photoshop 2021 on my computer will all of my files transfer to the new software?

I am using MacOS 10.15 and Elements 2021. When I installed the app, going to the Graphics panel - all of the available choices do not download.

No matter what time of day, if it is the server, it is never available!How do I get the missing backgrounds to load?  Thank you.
