The objective of this document is to list all the questions that might come from the press, reviewers, and users along with Adobe’s responses.
The Creative Cloud desktop app helps power the new Save to Cloud feature that’s being previewed in Photoshop Elements 2021.
By clicking the Cloud icon, you’ll get more information about the Save to Cloud feature and your available storage.
Launch Photoshop Elements 2021, and then launch the Photo Editor from the Home screen. Click the Cloud icon at the top right to view the available storage in your cloud account. Learn more.
The Save to Cloud preview feature comes with 2GB of storage. You won’t be able to increase your storage capacity during the preview period, so you’ll need to remove files if you need more space. Learn more.
The feature allows you to save photos to the cloud, open and view them in a browser, and share them with others via a link. Learn more.
You won’t be able to purchase more storage during the preview period.
We’re testing these features as a preview in the Photoshop Elements Editor. If customers find it useful, we’ll consider building them into other areas of the Elements products.
All photos are saved in the cloud-native PSDC file format.
With cloud documents like PSDC files, your work is always updated across every device, wherever you are. You can also:
- Access your photos on different computers.
- Work offline and your photos will automatically save to the cloud when you reconnect.
- Enjoy high quality and convenience.
- Share links to your photos right from the Photoshop Elements Editor.
- Keep versions of your edits.
Yes. From the Photoshop Elements Editor, you can save any file to the PSDC file format. Similarly, you can save a PSDC file to your computer in any other photo format.
Cloud (PSDC) photos are saved to Creative Cloud — they aren’t available on your local computer. However, you can always save them to your computer in a different photo format.
Yes.
We’re rolling out this feature gradually to small numbers of customers, so you may not have access to the feature yet.
We’re releasing the feature as a limited preview to gauge interest before we determine our future plans.
At this time, we have no plans to offer the Elements products via subscription.
Yes. To open a Photoshop Elements cloud photo in Photoshop, go to the Photoshop Home screen and navigate to the Elements Photos folder. To open a Photoshop cloud photo in the Photoshop Elements Editor, use the Open Cloud Photos dialog box.
Yes. At this time, you have to save your file to sync your edits to cloud. We expect to fix this in an upcoming dot release.
In Photoshop Elements, Save to Cloud is a preview feature that helps you save edited photos from the Photo Editor to Creative Cloud. You can save up to 2GB of photos and share links to your cloud photos with your family and friends. If you fill up your storage, you must delete some cloud photos before you can save more. Before deleting, we recommend that you back up. Learn more
In Photoshop, you can opt to save your files as cloud documents. (In Photoshop on the iPad, files are automatically saved as cloud documents by default.) You can save up to 20GB, 100GB, or 1TB of cloud documents in your cloud storage, depending on your paid Creative Cloud plan. You can also view version history, revert to previous versions, and share links to cloud documents to allow anyone to view and post comments. Learn more [Note: PS link is for internal understanding. You might not want to share until asked by the user]
Go to https://assets.adobe.com/ > Your work > Files > Cloud documents to browse through your cloud photos. Open a cloud photo and click the Timeline icon on the right side of the document preview. In the Timeline view, you’ll see a list of all your photo versions. Learn more.
You’re only limited by the amount of Creative Cloud storage you have. To find out more about your storage you can click on the Cloud Icon from Photoshop Elements Editor. Since the feature is in preview, purchasing more storage is not available from Photoshop Elements 2021.
You can always choose between saving documents to the cloud or saving locally. Photoshop Elements remembers how you saved or opened your most recently accessed photo, and the application will continue to present you with the same experience until you choose otherwise. Learn more.
