Diana

I tried as suggested and the layers & adjustments panels on the right disappeared again after shutting down. It asked if I wanted to delete the preferences file and I clicked ok. I reset my pannels, my cursors, etc, and it is still doing it. Any other suggestions?

I started taking Damien's Layers & Masks class along with the Levels class when we had PSE 9. Over Christmas we upgraded to PSE13. I have also recently updated to Windows 10 in the last month or so. I have had issues with loosing my panel on the right side every time I shut down Elements, but I just noticed that at the bottom of PSE13 there is no little window for showing the color space that I am working in. I looked in preferences and can not find a way to set it. It looks like that it takes what ever the camera is set to and use that. If that is true, then I'm ok. Am I missing a way to set it?

Thanks Damien.... sorry... I did not see this till tonight when I got the email about the RAW class. How do I turn on notifications for when someone replies to my question?

I have a PC laptop running Windows 10 and Elements 13. It is over 2 years old, and has 8.00GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 106GB free out of 218GB. The last time I shut down was last night. I run a cleanup program about once a month. Help save my sanity...please! I just updated to Windows 10 about 2 montha ago. Since then I've been sick and not shooting or editing photos much. I have noticed in the last couple weeks, that every time I shut down Elements I loose my layers & adjustments panel on the right side that I learned how to customize from Damien in either the Layers & Masks class or the Levels class. I can put it back, but it is annoying to have to do it every single time. I never had to do that with Windows 7. Once I set it the way I wanted, it was always that way. I tried looking in the preferences tab and can not see anything that would help. Am I missing a setting somewhere? TIA!!!
