Photoshop Organizer 19 and Mac Time Machine

Thanks in Advance

I am using a Mac and when I upgraded my system to Mojave, my older version of Elements crashed each time I tried to edit a picture.

I contacted Adobe Sales explained my problem and decided to purchase the latest version Elements 19 thinking that would fix my problem. I did that about 3 weeks ago but have had nothing but frustration especially with Organizer. My biggest problem when I upload a number of photos from a folder on my Mac and then select connect all files I get a message all connected. When I leave the program and try to open and edit an other picture I get a message have to reconnect that first picture to it's file I guess.

I notice in the string connected to that picture it states the original is somewhere in Time Machine. I have purchased an external drive and tried backing up my catalog to there but same problem exists.

I have tried for hours to get in touch with Adobe Support but without success so my question is, can I someway use elements to perform simple edits such as naming files and then save my edited files to my Mac Photo program which I find to be far superior to Organizer for handling files. I don't want to turn off Time Machine as I find that to be an excellent program to backup my Mac.

I appreciate any help in advance
