Questions

Hi, I purchased a background pattern from Shutterstock in png format. I have loaded it into Photoshop Elements and defined the pattern.   When selecting the pattern in pattern fill it fills with white? No other patterns do this on the document I am trying to do.  I have also defined new patterns and they work. I am at a loss?  Be grateful for any help.

Hi,   PSE 2022 on a late 2015 Mac running OS 12.7.6     As with other people I am getting the license utility failure on my Mac since early october (PSE 2025 launch).  I've not knowingly had an update to either my OS or PSE, although PSE may well have updated without my knowing.  After the failure, PSE will run as before save that the check for updates is ghosted.  Any ideas?   I also have Bridge installed on my machine.  In a vain effort to fix the problem I uninstalled Bridge and CC.  Then uninstalled PSE and Premiere (which also causes the licutil, but I prefer using iMovie, so no big deal).  I then deleted any ADOBE looking plist in the library and any other ADOBE-esque products and rebooted.  Then re-installed PSE, only for the fault to remain.   I really don't want to be bothered with yet another purchase of new software.  Frankly, I used to have PSE (and premiere) 14 and there is nothing new in

MacOS, 2023 Elements Pops up notifications in the lower left corner every time I run it. How do I turn this off?

Hi all.  In an attempt to stop my scratch disk full errors down I wanted to change the scratch disk location to my D drive which has the most space.  Preferences only shows drives C, which is an SSD and E which is a subset on C.  The D drive, an HHD, does not show up on the list.  Any suggestions?

Bonjour, j'ai reinstaller photoshop elements 11 sur mon nouvel ordinateur suite à ça j'ai le message suivant au lancement de l'application "limite d'activation atteinte". Le logiciel a été desinstaller sur mon ancien pc et meme desactivé sur celui de mon épouse. Donc il n'y a plus que sur mon nouveau pc que l'application est active. Que puis je faire pour débloquer la siuation ? Merci.

Many times I have encountered a situation where I can not get the PS Elements 2022 Organizer to execute.  I have the Organizer icon in my Windows 11 Taskbar which links to the Organizer's .exe file.  In this situation when I click on the icon nothing happens.  In this state I am also not able to execute the Organizer from the Windows File Explorer either.  What I finally discovered is that I can force it to execute by running the Organizer in Administrator mode.  I have never encountered this problem when the Organizer is the first app I run after booting and I think it works consistently provided I have not used any of the other Photoshop apps that I use.  The problem is intermittent and could be either an Adobe issue or a Windows 11 issue.  Has anyone else experienced this issue?

When I select my basic eraser tool, it paints instead of erasing.  I was playing around with the background eraser one night and it has been messed up ever since.  I have tried resetting my tools with no luck.  I'm new to elements and I'm sure it is something simple but I just can'y figure it out.  I need it back in a hurry to finish a project.  Can anyone help?

I am running PSE 11 on an external SSD with MacOS Mojave. My main SSD (replaced) in my old MAC from 2012 is running MacOS Catalina. In order to use PSE 11 I need to restart my external SSD which is a hazzle all the time and I don't have access to all files. To be able to use PSE again on my main SSD I found a PSE2022 upgrade version on Ebay which is compatible with Catalina. The question, do I need a physical PSE 11 version on the main SSD to install the upgraded version PSE2022 or is having the serial number of PSE 11 enough? I have asked Adobe helpdesk but they refuse to help me. Thanks

I have both Elements and Premiere Elements 2023 installed on old pc.Going to My Account, they are listed and the set up/s can be downloaded. However both installations fail after a few minutes and I get Error 183 and/or could not find MSVCR 120.dll ... whatever that is.According to what I have read, because I only have these products installed on one pc then I should be able to install onto my new pc. I don't think it is necessary to log out on my old pc? I have tried to find a way to contact Adobe directly by email but it seems that as a domestic hobby user they do not want to be contacted?Would very much appreciate advice from the Community.Thank you

War bis gestern glücklich mit Photoshop 2018. Konnte alle Bilder herrlich bearbeiten wie gerade rücken, Ausschneiden, mehr Farbe hinzufügen, nachschärfen. Dann musste ich auf Photoshop 2025 umsteigen. Das habe ich getan, das programm gekauft und meinen Kalatalog (viele Bilder) importiert. Jetzt finde ich im Editor gar nichts zur Bildbearbeitung. Schärfe zum Beispie oder Bilder gerade rücken. was mache ich falsch ???? Bin sehr verzweifelt Danke Jens

I have PSE 2023 and have used it a few times on my new computer with Windows 11.  I tried logging in today and the main window opens but when I hit the Photo Editor button it says it's loading, spins for a little while and then disappears.  I have used Task Manager to close Adobe and also rebooted my computer.  It still does the same thing.  Anyone know how to fix this? 

Recently purchased the 2020 assuming this would be an easy fix.  I can transfer the photos from the amazon cloud onto computer but when I go to upload them onto Photoshop elements, it rejects this new file format and says it needs to be converted to jpeg.  I have alot of photos that I would like to PE.  Is there an easy way to go about this conversion?

How can I bypass the "home screen" to open PSE 2024 EDITOR page by default?

Hallo, ich habe mit der neuen Version das Problem, dass nicht alle Menüpunkte zur Verfügung stehen. So stehen unter Ansicht die Punkte: Dateinamen, Rasterlinien, Alle Stapel öffnen, Alle Stapel minimieren, Datumsbereich löschen und unter Bearbeiten: Rückgängig, Wiederholen nicht zur Verfügung. Die Punkte sind hellgrau und können nicht aktiviert werden. Es kommt auch keine Fehlermeldung. Ich hatte zu erst eine Testversion installiert und habe später eine gekaufte Version nachinstalliert.  

I have installed Photoshop Elements 2025 to my computer, Windows 10 Home N,   2H22. Installation went OK, but the program does not work.

Hi everyone! A few years ago I purchased Photoshop Elements version 19. When I purchased it I loaded it to a PC. Now I have a Mac. Am I able to download it onto my Mac? When I sign in, I have all the licensing info and such. Download only shows Windows. Thank you!

Photoshop Elements 2022 lässt sich nicht öffnen. Die Neuinstallation lässt sich auch nicht öffnen. Habe es auch über den Adobe-Acount versucht konnte auch nicht öffnen. Im Acount werden drei ältere Installationen angezeigt.Was kann ich tun, um wieder an die Graphik zu kommen???  Danke im Voraus für die Hilfe!!!

I have reinstalled Photoshop Elements 2020 on a new desktop machine  (Windows 11) via the original DVDs. On my old machine (Windows 10) I installed an ACR update via Camera Raw plugin instructions which showed blown highlights locally, rather than the global indicator arrows at the top of the image. Please advise the technique and ACR issue number suitable to regain the viewing of local highlights/shadows, as this is far more useful than the global indication.Many thanks for your assistance. 

I moved my catalogs to a new computer recently. I am confused about a couple of things and would appreciate guidance. My main catalog has thousands of photos but the photos are located on multiple drives, incuding my c drive which is getting full. I would like this catalog to be in the default location on the C drive and accessible to all users, but I want to relocate all of the photos from the various drives into one location on an external raid drive. (Then I intend do delete the photos from the C drive to create more space.) I have made a back up and I am ready to proceed. I am confused about how to use restore and get the catalog in one location on the C drive but then to get all the photos on the external drive.  Please help. thanks

Hello everyone, my first time here and not sure if it's the right forum for my question but here goes....... Like many others, I've been forced to buy a new computer so that I can run W11. Previously I used W10 and had Elements 12 installed and doing everything that I needed it to do without a problem. Naturally, I tried to download it onto my new machine and, inevitably it seems, crashed the entire thing.Having sorted that particular problem I'm now wondering what is the best alternative from the current PS offering and I see that Elements 2022 through 2024 are W11 compatible. I'm hoping that one or all of these, particularly 2024, will be a version that does everything that Elements 12 could do and maybe a few more things. Apart from doing all the usual things to manipulate my DSLR pictures, of particular importance to me is the ability to read the RGB colours of a particular part of the image. The Hue, saturation and Brightness values are also of importance. AAs you'll all know

Organizer Preferences: Camera or Card Reader "Save Files In:" Changed parameter from default (/User/username/Pictures) to another location.  Seems to work but when I go back into parameters it is returned to the default.  Tried multiple times and rebooted.  Running macOS 15.0.1.   Anyone have this issue and know a fix.  Maybe Adobe can help.

Bonjour,je viens de faire l'acquisition de l'édition 2024 (photoshop et premiere).A la fin de l'installation, j'ai pu avoir accès aux produits.Mais depuis, quand je veux m'en servir, ils se lancent (apparaît dans le gestionnaire des tâches avec une consommation de 27% du processeur dans "processus en arrière plan") mais ils restent inaccessibles (pas afficher à l'écran et ne sont pas dans les "applications en cours d'exécution").J'ai toujours accès à l'édition 2023 qui elle une fois lancée, ne consomme plus de CPU, juste la mémoire alors que l'édition 2024 reste "en arrère plan" avec une conso.J'ai pu pourtant accéder aux environnements de l'édition 2024, une fois juste après leur installation.Quelqu'un a-t-il eu ce problème ? Et comment l'a-t-il résolu ?Merci d'avance pour les éventuelles réponses.Joyeux Noël à toutes et tous

I've been using Photoshop since version 2.5, but now that I've been retired for 25 years, and they rent Photoshop I've tried switching to Photoshop Element I think the latest version I have it something like 2022. I've been using a 4K monitor, for quite a while now, at least through the last two versions of Elements. The problem is that the UI won't accommodate 4K monitors.  So I'm still looking for something that does support my set-up.  I've used some free editors, and they work for the UI, but I've used Photoshop for over 20 years, I don't what to have to learn how to do everything over again.  I'm 86, I'm set in my ways.I'm willing to go back to the real version of Photoshop if I have to, but I'd like to use Element if I can do it without having to change the resolution on my PC every time just to make it usable. So that's what I'm asking. Can I run Photoshop Elements on my computer and have a readable UI that either doesn't have text and symbols
