Great Website all the time, I like this website due to its unique features. thank you
Appreciate that, thank you for the kind words!
Hey, this is a truly helpful collection of resources. Thank you for creating and sharing !
Hi,
I just bought your product but I cannot open my download because it states that WORD cannot open it because it is over 32 mb?
Jodi
HELP…or I need my money back.
Hi Jodi, what exactly did you buy? It sounds like the file you downloaded from Adobe might have lost its extension, and so your system doesn’t know how to open it… That happens sometimes, especially if you were using the Internet Explorer browser.
But it’s easy to fix – just rename the file to add an “.exe” back onto the end (in Windows) or “.dmg” (in Mac). Then try opening/installing it again. Hope this helps.
Hello,
I am interested in knowing if there is a way to get Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash as a direct download without the extra installs such as Google Chrome, Toolbar, Set as Default Browser etc.
I am interested for our department, in particular Chrome is not completely compatible with some of our links. Please let me know if it is possible and if so the steps needed to obtain the downloads.
Thanks,
David
Yes David, absolutely – they are ALL here: direct download links for every major Adobe product, including the Reader and Player.
Enjoy!
Excellent page, with respect to answering some big FAQ type questions that otherwise could be hard to find. All here in one place.
That’s great Tony, glad it’s helpful and thanks for weighing in!
In Elements Organizer, how do you highlight more than 1 photo to mark them with a keyword tag, I’ve done it before but forget how! thanks
Hey there Melanie, to select multiple photos you just hold down the Ctrl key and click the additional photos you want…
Then you should be able to perform any operation you like with the selected images by using the menu bar or by right-clicking.
When I try to import photos from a folder only one photo imports. How do I import all and then star rate them? Also my organised folders appear completely muddled in the drop down list of Elements 11. You can probably tell this is completely new to me.
Welcome Babs, if Photoshop Elements is completely new, did you take a look at some of the free tutorials and ebooks linked in the article above? Those should really get you started and going in learning how to use the program from the ground up – including on how to add/arrange photos and folders…
Adobe’s official product documentation could also be very helpful.
