Many thanks,

Or do a search to find the very affordable Elements+ add-on.

It's a very powerful set of tools (scripts) to recover many features of the full Photoshop.

There is a script for focus stacking.

When I try to move images from Lightroom CC to Elements 2019 for focus stacking it says "Elements Editor could not be launched". Suggestions?

I see some brand new unopened 2019's still available at ebay.com. If it helps any, the one by seller nomadjim has the same PN # and UPC # as my USA version.

Yes, Thx, I went to ebay and also B & H, both $89

The adobe website was for $74. That's what bugs me....

Actually I see one on ebay for Photoshop Elements 2019 & Premiere Elements 2019 Brand New, both.

Is Premiere anything special??

Thanks

I currently have Elements 12 with the add on Elements+ for photo stacking, I'm looking at buying Elements 2019 (2020 won't work on my Mac). I would like to know two things:Will 'content aware' work on 2019 as it doesn't on Elements 12, AND do I have to purchase a 'new' Elements+ for the 2019 version and how much is it?

Thanks!

Traveler582, why isn't Elements 2020 working on your Mac? If you have updated to Catalina, or intend to do so, Elements 2019 won't work with it for sure. Also, you cannot buy Elements 2019 from Adobe anymore, so you will have to purchase from a third party.

Adobe has nothing to do with Elements+. It looks like the price for each version is $12. I don't know about their update policy.

Added: Content aware features are available in both 2019 and 2020.

I have Sierra 10.12 and Elements 2020 needs 10.13 or higher.

I've already installed Elements 2019 in a 30-day Trial version on my Mac from Adobe and the option to Buy is there.

My reasoning for all this is I want the option for Content Aware which only came out on Elements 13....but I also want my Focus Stacking with Elements +ware

Hi David,

As you're looking for Focus Stacking of images in Photoshop Elements, please check the steps below and let us know if it helps:

Focus Stacking with Photoshop Elements

Process all images in Camera Raw.
Open images in Elements
Click on Photo Bin (lower left corner)
Select two images
Go to Enhance>Photomerge>Photomerge Group Shot
Place one image in the Source window and one in the Final window
Select the Pencil Tool and follow the instructions and draw a border around the area in the Source window that you want to merge with the Final window.
Click Done.
If you have more than two images to merge, go to the Photo Bin, select the newly merged image and the next image in the sequence and repeat the Photomerge process.

Regards,
Sahil

I purchased elements plus as you suggested, and it works fine now, puzzled why I wasn't informed that so much was locked away within the program!
