Question

Hello - 

 

Anyone else having an issue where in Quick mode, you cannot use any of the tools (Smart Fix, Lighting, Color) on a JPG or RAW file? Expert mode works fine - updated to latest Elements 2020 version and latest OS X Catalina version as well...

Could you describe a bit more in detail what you observe? Maybe I have the same problem. I use a german version of PSE2020 on OS Catalina 10.15. Opening in QUICK (SCHNELL in german) mode e.g. Color or Balance the drop-down works, I see the windows, sliders, etc., mouse over a window or a slider also works and shows the expected effect but clicking on e.g. a window closes the drop-down but nothing happens to the picture.

So I think I figured out the issue - whenever I work on my extended monitor (4K resolution ViewSonic), these tools do not allow me to "save" the adjustments.

Whenever I use the built in laptop display, it works without issue.

Have you tried this? Do you get a similar result?

 

This isn't a solution - as I think we'd like to be able to work on higher resolution screens and use the tools properly 🙂

Yes, I think this is also my problem. Today I've used my extended monitor and I've encountered problems with the Quick mode tools. Moving PSE to my laptop monitor solved the problem. I fully agree, I also would prefer to work with PSE on the extended monitor. How can we make Adobe aware of this?
