ACR will work offline, but it uses graphics acceleration and you need a compatible graphics card. Photoshop needs an Internet connection if you want to use the AI features like Generative Fill. It also needs to connect periodically to verify your subscription, but since Elements is a perpetual license, and to my knowledge does not contain any of the more sophisticated tools, you need no internet to run Elements.

Question about Photoshop Elements 2024

bsprague wrote:

For example, you can download, install and register Photoshop Elements then use it offline. ACR won't work because not everyone wants it. Therefore, you need an internet connect to install that "extra" feature.

Thanks for the info.

But once you install the ACR feature, it will keep working when offline ?

Question about Photoshop Elements 2024

charles brown wrote:

my desktop OS is seven years old and as a consequence cannot use the latest version of ACR.

Have you experienced a similar problem?

Have not installed yet.

Was on adobe chat asking about using the program offline after activation ... could not
get the agent to understand my question ... they kept telling me I had to have internet connection.

Got my answer hear pretty quickly.

Thanks

The key is to have a good folder structure.

100% agree.

But that's something you have to do, regardless of the software being used.

... and there's no doubt that Bridge and LR are more powerful than FIV.

Just giving the OP a simple option, being he / she was using Picassa and FIV would be similar.

Faststone image viewer has no organizational functions

All require you to setup your own organization ... even LR.

Faststone does not have the database functions.
