Questions

I can't import a folder at all. I select import folder but all that comes up is to select a file name. Just installed Photo Elements 2025. First use.

Ich habe auf imac (M1 Prozessor) das Programm Photoshop Elements 2024 installiert. Gehe ich im Programm Fotoeditor auf den Button Voreinstellungen (egal was ich dort anklicke), stürzt der Fotoditor sofort ab und es kommt nur die Meldung Fehler, weiter nichts. Habe schon den Support kontaktiert, aber die haben mir auch nicht geholfen, sondern nur auf Ihre Fehlerseite hingewiesen. Deshalb wende ich mich an die Community, vielleicht hat jemand dasgleiche Problem und es gibt eine Lösung. Ich wäre also dankbar, wenn jemand eine Idee oder Lösung hat. Ich hatte das Programm schon deinstalliiert und dann wieder installiert, aber es ist dasselbe Problem geblieben.

My drop down menus in organizer are not working. (File, Edit, Find etc). I have deleted and reinstalled the program but it's still the same. I would appreciate some help. ThanksMichael.

Hallo, ich arbeite mit einem alten Photoshop Elements (2018) und wollte jetzt auf die Version 2025 upgraden. Mein bisheriges Elements enthält aber viele Plug-ins, die nicht mehr erhältlich sind. Würden diese auf Elements 2025 funktionieren und wie kriege ich die dahin? Hello, I'm working with an old version of Photoshop Elements (2018) and now I want to upgrade to version 2025. However, my previous version of Elements contains many plug-ins that are no longer available. Will these work on Elements 2025 and how could I bring these into the new version?Thanks a lot! 

I cant download NEF files from my Nikon Z50II, I have the Camera Raw for Windows version 17.1 on my computer

I've just installed Elements 2023 on a new Windows 11 PC, my previous PC having died in the week.   I always use the Expert tab. My default crop size is 1800 x 1080 pixels.  In the past - for years - Elements has remembered this setting. Now, whenever I open an image file to edit, the crop size is the actual image size, so I have to enter my 1800 x 1080 px setting every time.  As I process up to 50 images a day, this is irritating! How do I convince Elements to remember my crop setting? Thanks for any help.

I purchased Elements 2024 in September 2024, installed Camera Raw to from Elements when trying to develop Samsung S23 DNG files. All worked flawlessly. Then update for Elements 2024 was offered which I did followed by update of Camera Raw from within Elements. Now when opening same DNG files as last year I get the message that Camera Raw needs GPU for processing. When I look into options of Elements I see listed: Geforce 210/PCIe/SSE2 and ticked box to use this hardware to improve performance.How can I downgrade to former version of Elements 2024 and the version of Camera Raw of September 2024 for Elements where everything worked flawlessly for same DNG files? Or ist there a workaround?

There seems to be a bug in the new cloud synchronisation of photoshop elements 2025.  I'd like to use this sync in a way that pictures from the PC should not be uploaded into the cloud. But, pictures imported from the new mobile app should be synchronised via cloud with the PC. My idea was configuring the sync like this:But unfortunately it always switches back to this automatically:Does anybody have the same issue?

Hallo, ich habe das neue Photoshop 2025 als Testversion herunter geladen, auf Win 11. Konnte 10 Fotos bearbeiten, mit Text versehen, bei zwei Fotos konnte ich die Farbe für den Rext nicht ändern, es geht immer nur mit weiß oder grau.

Hi,  The file menu and all other top menu dropdown features are not working on my Elements 2024 program installed on my HP laptop running the latest version of Windows 11. Any suggestions would be welcome?

Guten Tag, wie kann ich die eben erworbene Version Photoshop Elements 2025 rückgängig machen?    

I have been using photoshop & elements for many years now. I recently bought elements 2024 & after finding information on the internet, I had it woking good. Then I got a new pc, downloaded & installed elements 2024, & now I cannot make it keep my crop settings. If I want it 2000 px X 3000 px, I have to type that in with every pic.  I have always been able to save that in the past, or at least it always kept it after saving crop ratio. However, now there is no crop ratio, only photo ratio & I want to use a specific ratio without typing it in every time. Also I can not make crop stay on virticle every time, if the picture is landscap, the crop automatically goes to landscape, which I have always been able to keep that as well. Can anyone help please? Very frustrating!

After using PSE 2025 for about 30 minutes, I cannot move objects with the corner of the selection box. It starts moving objects sporadically. Exiting and restarting the program corrects the problem for another 30 minutes.

I don't know if there is a setting for this and it has just been so long I don't remember.   I used to be able to right click on an a selected shape i placed in a picture and see the style settings option in the context menu, that seems to be gone now, and I have to go up to the layer menu, layer style, style settings. Is it possible to get this back in the context menu?

Hello, I have Adobe Organizer 2024 and importing photos from a Synology NAS systematically blocks after loading a few hundred photos, with the message: incompatible files; json, jbf, css etc ... how to get around this problem? Deleting the files is not a good option, since photo recognition is linked to these files. Is it possible to force Organizer to import photo files by excluding the othersthank you so much 

Error message reads: Abnormal exit. Please try again or open/creat a different catalogue.Over 50,000 images ... help pleaseHowever I am unable to open a different catalogue and organizer simply hangs.(Photoshop editor still opens)It has worked perfectly for 3 years. Windows 11.

I have downloaded and installed the raw plugin for adobe 2024 but am unable to open .raf raw files.  Adobe's request for me to download the plugin keeps repeating, on a loop it seems.  This is something new. I am on a Mac with the latest software and the M1 chip.  Anyone have any idea why this is happening?  I have restarted PSE but that didn't clear the issue.  Thanks.

I am able to create a panorama in Elements 2023 Editor with Photomerge. But when I save it as a jpg I'm unable to view it in the Organizer.It's displayed as a gray box with the broken letter icon. I have no problem viewing the image in File manager. So it's an Organizer problem.I've tried this with anywhere from two to five images, same results.Windows 11Element 21 (2023)ACR 17I'm hoping this is a simple fix/workaroundThanks

WINDOWS ONLYArgus Preset Viewer (google it) $10.    Download, extract, click on the full install link in the popup menu.It allows you to view brush thumbnails, any thumbnails actually in your preset folder- brushes and shapes in particular- in your file explorer.   Adobe says there is no software to view brush thumbnails, BUT THIS IS IT! I generally don't mess with add ons / actions /presets type stuff for PSE, but this product "Argus Preset Viewer" does exactely what I needed / wanted, which is something Adobe says does not exist "Software to view brush thumbnails."I have hundreds of brush sets, many are garbage, not worth the download- but with this program I can see all the brush thumbnails without having to start any Adobe program.   It's built into your file explorer, after you click on the exe file. I have a bunch of custom swatches installed in other versions of PSE.   I will search for them, and put them all in one folder I can

Messing around I searched my entire computer for shape files (CSH)- found 322 of them- some are quite big with hundreds of files.Prior to today I don't recall being able to see the actual thumbnails of the shapes in my file explorer.  With some of the huge shpae folders, the ones that have hundreds of shapes the thumbnails are microscopic, quite useless.I'm thinking this might be one of those things I've just never really paid attention to.Most of them are the size of what you see below.Can everyone else see their shape thumbnails in their file explorer like what you see below?

Photoshop 10I have used photoshop many times and while I am not very experienced and forget things inbetween projects I have never had this problem.When I SIMPLY try to bring an image in as a layer my background and the new layer combine/merge. I have spent hours trying to figure this out!!!!!This has to be a simple setting but I am about to break something after hours of you tube videos and no solution!I am SIMPLY trying to drag an image with transparent background into the newly created layer. As you can see in my final image, I have done this before. As far as I know I am doing the same thing I did just a month ago. I can edit the previsous project and I have no problem with it. I just want to make a new project. I tried copy background and make background a layer and neither of those actions seemed to matter.I read other posts and there is mention of how a file is saved and I think I tried everything. I struggle to see how, since I have not yet saved the new project, how savin

Hi all, I am tracing the damaged artwork on a pinball table. Most is pretty straightforward but there is a large section where the background is dark blue and there are misshapen black dots that vary in density to achieve a shading pattern that varies from almost full black to mostly blue. I am trying to figure out how to recreate/reproduce this without trying to trace each blob.Attached is a section of the playfield. you can see in the lower left the  dense pattern and the upper right considerably less. I am kind of at a loss to reproduce this, any suggestions?
