Note: If your computer does not have a DVD drive, you can download Photoshop Elements from Adobe website and then install it. For more information, see Download and install from Adobe website. Temporarily disable firewalls, antivirus software, and third-party security software. For setting up Elements on Windows (both PSE 11 and PRE 11), each program consists of two downloaded files: an.exe and a 7-Zip file (.7z). The.exe file will only work (and install) once the.7z file is fully downloaded and resides in the same location. For the Mac, it’s just a single.dmg. Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021 is photo editing software used by anyone who wants to edit and create with their photos. It offers easy ways to get started; effortless organization; step-by-step guidance for editing; and fun ways to make and share stunning photo creations, effects, prints, and gifts.
