Hello Ramona,

Please navigate to "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/16.0" and delete the ThumbDatabase.db3 file.

Then navigate to "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/16.0/Locale/en_US/" and delete the MediaDatabase.db3 file

(I'm assuming you're using the English version. If you're using some other version, please select the appropriate language sub-folder within the Locale folder)

Now relaunch the application.

Let me know if this resolves the issue.

Thanks,

Medha
