I updated Photoshop to version 22.5, Lightroom Classic to version 10.4, and Camera Raw to version 13.4 two days ago. They all work without any problems. I'll try Sky Replacement when I have time.

Have you phoned Adobe tech support yet? The one time I had a problem with upgrading Photoshop, their tech support person found and helped me fix my installation.

When you call them, be sure to say your problem is installing the current update. When you get a tech on the line, you can explain the details about what's happening.

Can I assume that the color overlay problem is only when you're printing from your PC? If so, does the problem occur when you print B&W documents or only images that are in color? Could it be a printer driver problem?

Have you contacted Epson support about this?

Have you tried brand new ink cartridges?

Phone your credit card company. It might have been a worse nightmare than you thought -- it might have been real!!

I think canceling your Adobe account is a very bad idea!

Instead, open your Creative Cloud application and find the apps you want and the ones you don't want or don't recognize. It tells you the last time each app was updated. Write them them down so you can easily find the list of apps when you phone Adobe.

Then phone Adobe and ask for Adobe's billing department. Tell them who you are and, if asked, your Adobe account number.

Ask them what plan you're on, what apps are bundled in that plan, and how much you're paying for the plan and how often. Then ask if you're paying for any apps separately, and you can ask about your list of apps that you don't want or don't recognize.

Ask if there's a way to lower the cost of your plan including all the apps that you need.

That's what I did a couple of years ago, and because I was calm and pleasant, the person I was talking with was pleasant and helpful.

Also, calling early to mid-morning when the Adobe accounting people weren't being inundated by calls is a good idea.

I had the same problem with version 2.2.1 when I received a zip file from a friend, so I assumed it was a zip problem. I was visiting friends so l didn't get back until a couple of days ago.

Then two days ago version 2.2.3 was released; installiing it solved the problem.

I'm sending this so you know you weren't the only one who had this problem!

BTW, I'm using the latest release of Windows 10.

I agree. My sister took on this task for the family photos, slides, and digital copies. Of course, little was organized. She would meet with our grandparents about one weekend each month. She found that our grandmothers were a great repositories of family members and friends in the images.

She numbered each photo and some of the slides, then created a set of Excel spreadsheets that can be sorted based on each field. One of our cousins became interested and he got involved with family members on his side and started with the photos my sister and grandparents couldn't recognize the people or contents.

I'm not involved trying to look at photos and slides; because of my job I don't have the time. But I help with technical questions and problems (I'm in IT).

I hope some of these ideas help.

The problem is when you have lenses and accessories that are made only for <brand's> cameras it's unlikeiy you'll find a different brand that will accept those lenses and accessories. So, you're stuck with their cost as well as the cost of the new different camera.

I suppose that's not a problem if you're rich.

Another thing you can do is buy a used <brand> camera. Then who cares if <brand> goes out of business. No worries, right?

Amazon also has it for $69.99 + sales tax. Search for it as "photoshop elements software" to go directly to it.

That's very well stated. And amusing, too.

Ditto re the camera bag on the floor in the rear of the car, AND with my camera in the bag and the bag zipped closed so nothing can fall out.

Sorry for the typo -- it's WhatsApp.

I just realized that we use Skype instead of Zoom for online group meetings and the kids' school. It supports photos and videos, too. That's another free alternative (Skype-to-Skype calls are free worldwide).
