Photoshop Elements

I just purchased PSE 2026, downloaded, and installed it.  Then I get an error message saying it cannot be activated because only one device can be used.  The PSEs I have on my other devices are older and not 2026.  I am told to deactivate the others first.  Why should I when they are older?

There are issues with being able to open Adobe Photoshop 2022 elements. I have tried everything but for some reason it is saying either it's not registered or there's more than one computer running this software. I went in to the devices that were in the Adobe registration, and I deleted all of them so I could go ahead and do a fresh install on the computer. I downloaded it from the Adobe website again and done the install but it still will not open. Does anybody have any suggestions?

I have used PS elements (currently on 2020) for several years - Recently, the loading screen opens, the organiser opens from that, but the Editor will not open.  I have tried opening as Administrator, Running the “.exe” file direct, uninstalling and re-installing, then all of the above again, but still not working (Windows 11) I don’t need all the new stuff on 2025, and am tempted to ditch it completely due to frustration - I have been trying workarounds for several hours.

Får endast upp den här bilden när jag försöker installera Elements. Går inte att göra annat än att avsluta installationen.Hur göra?

Hi,I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements yesterday directly from Adobe and installed it. I'm running a Macbook Air (2018 model) with 16GB RAM and approx 200GB free SSD hard drive space. It's running Mac OSX 10.15.2. When I try to launch Photoshop Elements, I get a screen telling me Adobe Sign-in required. I'll enter my Adobe username and password, a green check will appear next to the password which I assumes is telling me my credentials have been verified and instead of launching, it just goes back to the sign-in required screen. I've tried everything I can think of including changing my Adobe password and verifying that it works in the Adobe website, creating a new Adobe account in the sign-in screen to launch Photoshop Elements, linking my account to my Google account and trying to sign in that way. Rebooting my computer, and un-installing PSE and re-installing it. I found this article for an older version of PSE (https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/unable-to-sign-in-p

PSE 2025 on Mac Sequoia 15.7.3 installed more than a year ago and. have been using several catalogs. Today when I opened PSE Organizer my current catalog is empty. I have been able to convert/restore a 2023 catalog but not a recent one. I. have had trouble creating backups in the past, I don’t know if it is because my current catalog had over 25k files.

I can see thumbnail and play video with Media Player in Windows 11. In Photoshop Elements 11 the thumbnail is blank and cannot be played. Do I need another codec? If so how do I find out which?I am almost certain I did not have the problem in Windows 10.I tried playing the files in Quick Time in Windows, but that also does not work.

Bonjour à tous,Suite à un crash hardware j'ai dû remplacer quelques éléments essentiels sur mon ordinateur.À ma grande surprise PSE 2023 ne reconnaît plus sa licence et me demande de désactiver mon ancien ordinateur, chose qui m'est bien entendu totalement impossible, les éléments hardware étant fichus …Je ne trouve aucun lien, aucune info relative à la résolution de ce problème. On peut retrouver la liste des licences qui ont été achetées et leurs numéros de série, mais l'interface Adobe empêche soigneusement la désactivation de toutes ces licences ce qui fait que je reste coincé sans que ce soit ma faute.Comment faire, où appeler les personnes compétentes, pour résoudre ce problème ?Merci beaucoup à la communauté 😊Fabrice    

Er zou een oude versie op de pc staan. De oude versie is echter verwijderd. Bij het installeren kan ik geen keuze maken waar ik het programma wil plaatsen. Wie weet hiervoor een oplossing

In the organizer People panel on the Names side, there are triangles noting new faces are found and when one clicks, there is a section to confirm those faces.  Sometimes Confirm/Not This person works as expected but I see the following erroneous behaviors:Click on confirm or not this person but the entry remains. The overlay check/not symbols do not display and the circle seems dead. The circle image is drawn incorrectly with half of the circle on top and half on the bottom as though the entry is mis-framed. Blank spaces appear in the array of circles.It is difficult to go through the entries when they are not functioning correctly. Is there a workaround or fix for this?thanks

Hallo,ich habe mir PSE 2023 gekauft, weil mein bisheriges PSE 2019 wohl nicht kompatibel mit Windows 11 ist. Premiere und Photoshop Elements laufen nun auf dem neuen PC.Von PSE 2019 habe ich ein Backup auf eine externe HD erstellt, um die mit PSE 2023 zu importieren. Restore funktioniert insofern, als es die Bilder und Videos in alter Struktur anlegt. Damit bin ich einverstanden, es sind auch die Datei-Daten korrekt übernommen worden. Der nächste automatisch ablaufende Schritt war die Konvertierung. Darunter verstehe ich die Aufnahme in den PSE-Browser-Katalog mit der Restaurierung der eingepflegten Tags und Bilderkennungs-Ergebnisse. Dieser Vorgang scheitert mit der Meldung:“Die Konvertierung des Katalogs ist fehlgeschlagen. Versuchen Sie, den Katalog mithilfe der Erstellungssoftware zu reparieren und wiederholen Sie die Konvertierung. Weitere Details finden Sie im Hilfetext zu Konvertierungsfehlern.”Ich habe die Aktion nun 2x durchgeführt (beim ersten Versuch gab es eine Fehlermeldun

Using Adobe Elements 2026 on a Windows 11 with 16gb ram so plenty to play with but its so painfully slow on start up, loading photos in the organiser and editor and it lags behind when editing, only started the slowdown this week….please advise as one is rather frustrated by the slowness?

download the program via the product tab after activation the product.  Installed normally, went to run program, nothing happened. ran as admin, nothing happened. did a uninstall and a reinstall, again, nothing has happened with the program.

Bonjour,J’ai acheté PSE 2022 en téléchargement sur le site d’adobe. Suite à un problème, je l’ai désinstallé puis réinstallé sur mon PC, le numéro de série m’est demandé mais je ne l’ai pas. Et sur mon compte Client chez Adobe ma facture n’est plus en historique (gardées 3 ans….).Comment faire pour continuer à utiliser le produit, merci ? 

Why is this image displaying as a blank thumbnail in Elements 11? If you try to ‘Get Media’ again it tells me it already exists. Should I delete from catalogue and try the whole thing again? I honestly think all was OK before downloaded windows 11.. 

Wie kommt Adobe dazu, nach einem überhaupt in 1 1/2 Jahren zur Verfügung gestellten Update mein käuflich über Idealo.de erworbenes Photoshop Elements zu sperren??? US-amerikanische Konzerne glauben wohl, wie ihre Regierung, über allem zu stehen. Ich habe nach gut Treu und Glauben eine Software käuflich erworben und diese bestimmungsgemäß genutzt. Es ist eine absolute Unverschämtheit, Kunden so zu behandeln. Keine E-Mail, keine Infonachricht über den Adobe-Account (Wofür hat man den? Zum Datenabgreifen für Adobe?!). Das Geschäftsgebahren ist inakzeptabel. Man hat ja nicht einmal die Möglichkeit, dieses Unternehmen per E-Mail-Kontakt direkt zu erreichen. Ich vermute mal ganz einfach, daß mit diesen willkürlichen Aktionen die Kunden in Abo-Verträge gepusht werden sollen. Als Kunde möchte ich das aber nicht. Wenn ich ein Produkt käuflich erwerbe, ohne zeitliche Limitierung der Lizenz, dann möchte ich es auch als mein Eigentum nutzen können und jederzeit Zugriff erhalten. Ich bitte um

Photoshop Elements 2026 is running much slower than the 2025 version on my iMac. Are other people finding the same problem?   Mel   [Typo fixed by moderator]

Seems to me that when a picture is wrongly orientated (shown landscape in Organiser when the picture is composed portrait, or vica versa), faces that are clear, but on their side, are not recognised.  I know I can "Mark Face" - but, when I have re-orientated it, is there a way to ask Photoshop to run face recognition on an individual picture ?

I use the selection tool, select the sky, and now I don’t know how to accept that selection.

I want to remove adobe raw from Elements 2024.  I found instructions that said to delete the plug in.  I uninstalled the plug in, but adobe raw still appears in the edit menu.  What do I need to do to remove adobe raw?

Photoshop Elements 2026 (paid) on Windows 11 won’t install. The 8MB installer fails before install with “Sign in failed” (sign-in window never loads). Tried CC reinstall, Cleaner Tool, admin, hotspot, updates. Need offline/full installer link (Win64). 

Elements 26 Organizer and Editor will not open .Nothing happens at all , no error message ,when i click on organizer or editor the blue thing goes round but nothing opens .

These are instructions for a class I am taking:  Press shift, control J to cut out selection and place on it's own layer.  When I do I get an error instant GIF off and it doesn't perform the task.Also if I use shift control U to make pic black and white I get in-game replay message and doesn't turn pic black and white. I am using PSE 2024 with windows 10.   Any ideas why this is happening?
