Paul, If you installed it from a disk I assume that you have the serial number. Use that. If not, did you register the software with Adobe? If so, there should be a download link in your Adobe account.

You can make a selection of the sky with one of the selection tools, then place the sky-selection on its own layer (press CTRL+J) and open a Brightness/contrast adjustment layer above this.. Next, link the top 2 layers - press CTRL+G.- and work the sliders to suit.. The problem with this is that it is difficult to select the sky between trees & leaves. Now in PSE 2024, on the Guided Edit tab, search for "Perfect Landscapes", and the prompts will walk you through total sky replacement with many options, e.g bright sky, dark sky, clouds in different configurations. You can then go back to the Advanced tab and perform other manipulations. ... View more

I always print via the Editor, and crop the photo to size (e.g.4x6) prior to sending it to the printer.  If I have a picture with an off size that does not lend itseld to cropping, I open a File>new>blank file corresponding to my paper stock (4x6 or 8.5x11) and go to File>Place. This command affords flexibility in adjusting the position of the picture on the canvas. ... View more

Don't enable both Photoshop Elements and  the Epson printer to manage colors. I have an Epson printer as well., and my setup is for PSE to manage colors. I use PSE2024, but the procedure has not changed over recent upgrades. 1. Go to Image menu>Convert Profile. In the drop-down you can convert to RGB or to sRGB. I use the latter. 2. Go to File>print. In the print dialog click on "more options." Next click on Color Handling, and select PSE manages colors. 3. The point is not to enable both PSE & the printer managing colors.      ... View more
