For some, for whatever reason,  that isn't an option--- we turn off auto creations and yet some still appear.   One gentleman in another thread had 1 autocreation he could not delete, using the standard method you described.   Of all the autocretions I had seen, for me, none of them was anything I would wanna keep, or share with anyone.    There are tons of free tools that can make way better slideshows, with thosands of percent more control. ...

I call this one of my "monkey methods" (it works for me but probably is not the most popular way of doing it:  Go to your images, sort by file type , right click on one, like the first jpg for example, change what you want to open that type with... scroll down your list of things you can open it with.   You wil be given the option to "Open all these type of files with this other program?" My second image is not complete- I have about 25 other programs that can open JPG images for example. ... View more

I think you may be a bit confused:   Every single version of adobe phtoshop elements is a brand new installation.  If you have version 2020, and buy version 2021, it's a brand new installation it does not "upgrade".   There are no "upgrade only" discs.

PSE is not cloud based, it's about the only program from adobe that is not. How old is your computer?  When I start the editor from the fancy home screen, it takes 6 seconds to fully open and load.  Loading an image to edit?  virtually instant (I do has a ssd).  ... View more

I happen to make this graphic this morning for a private PSE group. Short version: cllick on the text tool, click and hold your left mouse button and drag down and to the right, till you get the size you need. The cursor, by default will be in the upper hand corner.  Just start typing, or past youe text in.   PSE does not have full justification (lines spaced out evenly along the left and right sides- like a newspaper) - jest left, right, and center justification.  Don't click o nthe green justification checkmark til lafter you have you text all set up.  I set my font and text size up first, then paste any text.       ...

When a program (basically any program) works fine in safe mode, but not work in regular mode: it's generally a result of a video display driver issue. My suggestion or two:  ensure you video card driver is up  to date- go to the manufacturer web site and check for the latest version number.    Second thing to try:   I have video built into the mother board (I don't use it) I have an NVIDIA card isntalled in an expansion slot)... if you have a simliar set up uplug from the video card you installed, and plug into the video card plug on the mother board-- changing your system settings as needed.  ALSO:    ...

A text effect (that said "photoshop" I downloaded... nothing really mysterious about it ... View more

Lots of things that say "photoshop" work just fine in PSE.   Brushes for example... ABR files work just fine- the ABR file doesn't care what program it's in. Same goes for shape files--- Text effect templates work too- for the most part.   Big issues ares missing fonts, and missing effects.   You download a tempalte, and some font's in the template are missing, or an effect in Phtoshop (ambient lighting for one) is missing (nothing you can do about that)  ( just note the fonts that ae missing and download them). Nothing magical about text effect downloads:  Some are simply messy- not very organized, while others are pretty simple to edit.   The biggest concern, I think, may be the grouping and ungrouping of layers. I literally will turn layers off, one at a time, and see what happens on the screen.  Adjusment layers seem to be the biggest thing that confuses people- many simply seem to do nothing if you turn them on or off.  I am convinced that most of the free text effect downloads are "works in progress" and often will contain things that simply are not set up very well.       There also is nothing magical about editing thext effect downloads- You really have to understand the grouping and ungrouping layers, and realize yo uaretaking chances:   A text layer in photoshop with 3D extrusion applied to it just won't work in PSE- along with Ambient lighting effects- those are things that are in Photoshop, but not PSE, so they won't work in PSE. I've donwloaded some text effects in the past and have come to the conclusion, for me anyway, not to mess with them, simply becouase many can only be described as "a hot mess".  ... View more

The EULA for off the shelf purchases states you can only use 1 computer at a time if installed on two computers. There are always deals for educators. CC apps are only $5 a month- that means the full version of  photoshop would cost less than purchasing Phtosohop elements.  The interface for phtoshop can be overwhelming for younger users---- in the district where I teach al lthe Cloud apps are available to grades 7 and above- middle school here is grades 5 and 6---- photoshop elements would provide a less intimidating interface.

That's really interesting: That's not the correct "build number" for the latest version.  That's a build number for PSE 2020. That makes me think you are still starting PSE 2020, using the same old icon you had been using before.  The default location that starts PSE 2021 is here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2021 Based upon your build number posted you just need to use the right icon to start the program with.   That's a guess, but it's pretty good guess....   ...
