Updated from Elements 13 to 2026 on new Laptop

Moved all Photos from old laptop to individual folders on new ASUS 15” laptop then purchased new Photoshop Eliments from Adobe. Opened Elements organizer and highlighted all photos in each folder and imported into Elements {all 6000+ of them}. Have found photos are not in date order as expected, they all seem to have a 2026 date even though the earliest was around 2013. Also some of the photos have a cloud symbol on them, I have not asked for any of these photos to be stored in the cloud. Some thumbnails have a tick mark on them why? I am sure most of my issues are probebly due to the operating system being updated from my older version. But its strainge, I am thinking I should have stuck with my old laptop with Elements 2013. I was hoping for a smooth transition but it seems its a new learing curve. Disapointed that it does not recognise RAF raw files from my Fuji S200 camera, got about 1000 files to convert to DNG;s

    To disable cloud transfer in Adobe Photoshop Elements, change the default save location to your local computer in settings and turn off auto-sync in the Organizer.

    In the Editor, go to Preferences > File Saving Options and set the default location to "On your Computer". For the Organizer, go to Edit > Preferences > Auto Sync and disable it. 

    ABOUT THE CAMERA RAW:   Your camera only requires ACR 6.4 or greater.   I assume you have installed ACR 18.0 via the editor?   If not, do what’s in the picture, and you should be good.
