Question

Photoshop Elements 2019 is not usable

I upgraded from the 2018 Adobe bundle (Photoshop Elements, Premier Elements, Organizer) to the 2019 bundle. Life was good with the 2018 version, and I’m very sorry I purchased the 2019 version. Like everyone else I cannot stand to watch the spinning beachball when I try to use Photoshop Elements. I have never before seen the beachball spin so long and so often. I cannot believe that Adobe tested this version of PE? It is impossible not to notice this behavior. And I don’t think the problem has anything to do with Mojave because I haven’t noticed or heard of any slowness anywhere else—only in PE. I’m working on a photo restoration project that I expect to take years. However, now that Photoshop Elements 2019 is broken and unusable, it may take centuries.

    Has all the indexing finished? I left Organizer open until a notification arrived that auto-creations were available in the Home app e.g. collages, video collages, slideshows and memories of events. If you don’t need to see those you  could kill the process in Activity Monitor & Organizer preferences.
