Photoshop Elements

Elements Organizer 26.0.0.0Core Version: 26.0 (20251112.EO.64802456)Language Version: 26.0 (20251112.EO.64802456)System:Operating System Name: Windows 11Operating System Version: 10.0.26200System Architecture: AMD CPU Family:15 Model:1 Stepping:2 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2Built-in Memory: 31.1GBFree Memory: 20.3GB I thought I had a really corrupted catalog, so I started a new one. The problem continues.If using the “Face Tagging” feature. Auto Curate and Smart Tags fail continually. The Repair or Optimize of the Catalog does nothing. I have exempted all “Adobe” folders from Windows Security to now eval.If I don’t use the Face Tagging, Auto Curate and Smart Tags works fine.  If I install on a Windows 10 computer, all works fine.Ready to pull my hair out.    

Using Elements 2026.  I would like to take just the face shown in photo 1 and use it to replace the face in Photo 2.  I’m pretty good at selecting and enhancing, but I’ve never swapped things between two photos.Photo 1Photo 2  

I want to move my catalogues and images from PSE 10 on a Windows 10 PC to PSE 2025 on a Mac Mini. I’ve succeeded in backing up a small catalogue of 650 images to a destination on the Mac over my home network, but when I try to backup a larger catalogue of 10,000 images, PSE 10 freezes when 34% of the way through estimating the size of the backup. I’ve “optimised” and “repaired” the catalogue, but it freezes at the same point every time.I’ve tried writing the tags to the image files and then breaking the catalogue into several smaller ones, but PSE 10 fails to transfer a large percentage of the tags to the new catalogue.I wondered whether I have to install the PSE 2026 free trial to upgrade the PSE 10 on my PC first. I disconnected my PC from the outside world a year ago, so I downloaded the Windows file to my Mac and then moved it to the PC. Unfortunately, the file needs access to the Internet to download the program, and I don’t remember what I did to disconnect it.How can I get PSE 1

I would like to purchase/enroll in an online course for Photoshop Elements 2026.  I’ve been fumbling my way around for the past few years and now I want to take a real class.  When I searched for classes I found: How to Gurus, Udemy, Bring your own laptop, Ed2GO, TeachUcomp, and a few others.  Do any of you have any recommendations? And do any of these courses have a feature where I can email or speak directly with a tutor when I have a question?

All of sudden my Elements 2026 won’t load the Guided Mode - it shows a constant wheel moving but nothing happens.  The Quick and Advanced modes work and my Organizer works.  I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled.  My license does not expire until 2028.  I have a PC, not a Mac.  Any suggestions?

It looks like Adobe Photoshop Elements 2026 is available in ebook version only.  It is too small to read on the Nook device but I am able to read it on my PC.  Unfortunately, there is no printing capability, and I am not able to read it and perform exercises in PSE at the same time on the same screen on the same computer.  This would be like reading a recipe in a cookbook on the screen and then having to close it while making the cookies.  Isn’t there a manual that can be purchased as paperback?  I have searched and it seems there is no paperback available.  Would I be able to print parts of the tutorials available in the software? 

This affects EVERY dialog I opened in this version, after a forced upgrade.

Each time a raw photo is edited, then saved (Save as... jpeg), the new jpeg image (shown in a version set) displays the wrong time in the organizer, exactly 4 hours earlier than the original. But when I bring up the file properties in windows explorer (properties -> details), that still shows the correct time the photo was taken. The cameras being used to create these photos are set to the correct time zone and date/time, as is my PC. Is this a known bug, or do I just need to change a setting somewhere?   

The data missing from this histogram is gone forever.  We all know that, but I wonder if anyone is aware of a tweak or trick that might possibly improve the quality of this image despite it’s missing data.  It isn’t a total loss but you can tell it isn’t right.  I’ve seen this condition with other images over the years and just moved on.  Does this thing have any hope?    

Unable to print from the editor.  Click print and it goes back to the opening window/screen.Changed printers but can’t remember if I printed with the old one or not

“New” files, from 2024 and later, although not all, do not autocurate. I made a test catalog and imported 10 “new” photos, and it would not autocurate. Checking task manager when attempting to autocurate 50 or so photos, autocreations.exe would run for about 10 seconds and then exit and no autocuration would be performed. JPEG files would autocurate, but not raw files, even for an older Nikon Z6 and 24-200mm lense.

I have Elements 2023 for PC.  I can get “Text on shape” to work fine on a new blank file.  I’ve even tried on a file with a color fill and saved as a jpeg, then re-opened, and it was fine.  When I try on a file with a photo as the background layer, I get to where you add text and don’t get a cursor, just a blinking dot.  If I try and type nothing shows.  I have made sure everything is in contrasting colors so nothing would seem hidden.  What could I be missing?

I have PSE 2026.  Could anyone tell me the simplest, quickest method of converting my RAW files into jpegs, either through Organizer, or after editing.  I wish to be done in batches, not one by one.  Thank you.

Good morning. I recently had to purchase a new Windows 11 OS laptop as my old laptop died. On the old laptop, also running Windows 11, I had PSE 2021. When I bought the new laptop, I purchased PSE 2026. I did have an external drive backup of my catalog, as well as all photos backed up on Microsoft OneDrive. When I downloaded PSE 2026 and first opened it, I was prompted to get my photos which had been restored to my laptop via OneDrive. All of my photos are now in PSE 2026. However, it did not access the files that contain the information for tags and folders, so I now have some 20K photos with no organization. I am trying to figure out the best fix for this. Is there some way to access the file(s) that contain the folder and tags data that is likely somewhere on my hard drive? If not, would it make more sense to uninstall PSE 2026, reinstall it, and then restore my catalogue from the external drive backup? I appreciate any guidance here! Thanks,Craig

The instruction I found were good, but the options I was directed to were not flexible enough. Thank you for any more help you might provide.

Liebe Community!Habe massive Probleme mit Programmabstürzen, wenn ich Ausschneide o.ä. mache.Daher will ich das Programm neu aufsetzen/installieren.Ich kann leider nirgends eine SN für das Programm finden, habe auch keine beim Kauf von Adobe zugeschickt bekommen!Brauche ich eine solche bei Elements 2026 überhaupt?Vorab schon mal: herzlichen Dank fürs Brainstorming!LGBarbara

I have version 7, which does not accept non-Roman text in text boxes (Yiddish characters in particular show up as blank).Is there a later version that does support this?Thanks.

I’m running PSE Organizer v26.0 on a 2025 iMac with OS 26.3.1. I had to upgrade to PSE 2026 because 2022 no longer worked. The catalog is displaying all the thumbnails fine, but whenever I double click on ANY of them (JPEGs, TIFFs and RAW) I just get a grey box with question mark.If I SLOWLY move the Zoom slider, I can get it to show a full size image, but if I slide too far, it once again gives me a grey box. So I have to move the slider gingerly. Of course, I would prefer to just double click on the thumbnail, which always worked before.I have deleted the cache. I’ve reset Preferences. The Manage Catalogs function does NOT give me a REPAIR option. Only Optimize, which made no difference. Any ideas? Thanks. Duncan

I’m importing photos for the first time using Photoshop Elements 2026. There seem to be some unexpected changes. There’s no longer an option to import from a card reader. OK, so I’ll import from a folder instead. But it no longer gives me the option to copy the files to a selected folder, and it no longer gives me the option to rename the files when it does so (for example, adding the shoot date to the file name). Is this normal, or am I missing something? So am I supposed to copy all the files to my hard drive first AND somehow batch rename them BEFORE I import them into my PSE library?

Photoshop Elements 2026 will not open on Mac Tahoe OS. I uninstalled PSE 2026 and previous 2022 version, then downloaded and installed PSE 2026. Anyone have a solution. Should I request Adobe refund?

Since installing PSE 2026, I no longer have the Soft Round and Hard Round bushes in my Default brushes.  I have tried other brushes (mostly the mechanical ones) and they don’t seem to be the same.  I have used Google and CoPilot to try and find an answer, but the results don’t work.I still have PSE 2025 installed, so I could copy/install them from there, but I can’t find these 2 specific brushes.Has anyone found any options that work?

I am having a problem removing auto hyphenation in PSE2026.  I have encountered this problem before when I get a file from someone that was created in PS, but this file was 100% created by me in PSE2026.  I am using the Text in a shape tool and I can’t get it to stop hyphenating.  I have googled looking for a fix, but I only get answers related to Photoshop (not elements) and they refer me to a panel that doesn’t exist in PSE.  Any help will be appreciated.
