Each time that I go into edit with Photoshop Elements 8 it causes a physical dump and shuts down

Each time that I go into my Photoshop Elements 8 it causes a physical dump and shuts down.  I have only used this program a few times although I have had it a few years.  The first couple of times it worked fine; but now, it shuts me down each time.  I have already tried unistall and reinstall.  Help!

Well, can you try opening just the Photoshop Elements 8 (from the Start menu) and see if it opens Editor from Welcome Screen or not?
It it still crashes, please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
Close Elements.
Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.

  • Iphoto Editing with Photoshop Elements 9

    I am going into Iphoto, clicking the Edit button and it brings up Photoshop Elements 9.  I make changes, they
    look OK so I save it.  When I get back to IPhoto, it looks like the change has been made.  However when I go
    back later in the day and click on the updated photo and there is a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle.
    This means it can't find the original.  They're all located in Iphoto, what is happening?  Why does it look like the changes
    are make and then I can't find them?

    I do use a Mac, so I don¹t think versions is an issue. I would rather
    pictures edited in PSE, which began life in iPhoto, should always be saved
    back to iPhoto, as they were in Elements 8. That is not happening. Neither
    do I know where to find pictures that PSE has saved.

    >> The save dialog sees an original and asks for permission to change it.
    If you see the save as dialog you don't have your saving files preference set
    correctly. To make versions, you must set it to Save over Original.
    However, note that there is a big ol' bug in the mac version that if you even
    open that particular preference window (even if you don't change anything
    there) PSE will no longer add file extensions when you save. When using PSE as
    external editor it doesn't matter so much, but if you ever save to the desktop
    you will need to add the file extension manually to the saved file.

  • Batch Editing with Photoshop Elements 4.0

    I have an folder of photos which I would like to resize as a batch with Photoshop Elements 4.0. However, I am at a loss as to how to do it and am missing a step or two in my workflow.
    I would appreciate any specific step by step suggestion that you may have.
    Thanks for your help.
    Vernon

    not for "batch editing"
    You can set PSE as the external editor in the iPhoto preferences. iPhoto has the capability to directly interface with any external editor - simply go to the iPhoto preferences (iPhoto menu ==> preferences ==> General and set the Edit photo option to in external editor - select the desired external editor and you are set - now when you edit photos they are sent to the selected external editor and when you are finished editing you save (not save as) and the edited photo is returned to iPhoto, the original is maintained in iPhoto and the iPhoto database is correctly updated.
    If you want the option of editing in either iPhoto or the external editor after selecting your external editor simply set the edit in back to main window - now when you right click (control Click) on a photo you will get a menu which allows you to select either.

  • Editing with Photoshop Elements?

    I'm very interested in purchasing Lightroom for managing and performing basic photo developing. I've seen references to using the full-blown Photoshop program for more in-depth image editing, and would like to know if it's possible to use Photoshop Elements instead, as I already have it, and cannot possibly justify spending the amount of money on Photoshop that it costs.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi guys
    I need some help with editing in between the photoshop elements and lightroom. I have gone through some video help and where I get stuck is that when I go to the drop down menu "Edit in" all the options are greyed out so I cant select them. I think I have done all the settings in preferences in external.
    I would appreciate any info
    Thanks
    Was Photoshop Elements installed prior to installing Lightroom? What version of PSE? What version of Lightroom? What operating system?
    By the way, Lee Perrin, I love your Worcestershire sauce

  • Camera RAW Editing with Photoshop Elements 7.0

    I am editing Canon Camera RAW format images with Photoshop Elements 7.0.
    When I try to use the Clone Stamp option, an error message indicates that I need to change to 8 bit color to continue. I am also aware that some feel that 8 bit color is good enough. I would like to keep the 16 bit color.
    Will upgrading to Photoshop Elements 8.0 allow me to keep 16 bit color?
    Thanks
    Bob  AZ

    No, as far as 16 bit support, pse8 is pretty much the same as pse7.
    Pse9 is due out within a few months, so who knows whether more 16 bit support
    will be added or not.

  • Editing with Photoshop Elements on a different computer

    I spend my time in two different countries. Last time I went to the US, I installed my copy of Photoshop Elements on my laptop, as I prefer to use that program for editing. Unfortunately, I left the disc in the US. Now that I am back in Finland, I want to use Photoshop Elements to edit some photos on my iMac that are stored in iPhoto 6. I tried to move the program to my iMac, but it doesn't work. I also can't use the 30-day trial, as I used it before purchasing the program. I don't want to buy another copy, as I only ever use it on one computer at a time.
    Is there a way to edit my photos on my PowerBook, and then import them back into iPhoto 6 on my iMac without having duplicates of the photos on the iMac? I am somewhat confused about the best way to do this. I know I can easily transfer the photos to my PowerBook, but I am unclear on what to do once I have edited them.
    I know there is some kind of option in iPhoto to edit in a separate program. Can that be configured to edit photos in a separate program on a different computer on a network?

    Kristen:
    You idea may be right. Connect your two computers, the one with PSE in Target mode, and then in iPhoto select PSE as the editor of choice and when asked to locate it, navigate to the other computer and select it. It's worth a try.

  • Editing with Photoshop Elements 4.0

    I'm sure the problem and solution are simple, but I'm missing something. Here goes.
    I'm using iPhoto 6.0.2. Just installed and started using Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0. Have been editing about 1,100 photos from a recent trip to Africa, which were imported from my Canon. Wanted more editing tools, so stopped editing with iPhoto and started using PS Elements. So I open a photo from the iPhoto library using PS Elements. Let's say I open a photo from Roll 100, and call it the Monkey Photo. I edit the Monkey Photo in PS Elements, and then save (not save as, but save, using the same Monkey Photo file name). It saves the photo, but not back into Roll 100, but into a new Roll created somehow by the operating system, let's call it Roll 110, found in both the Originals and Modified folders (which seems odd).
    Just like importing directly into iPhoto, when I save from PS Elements, a thumbnail is created, called a Preview. So now I have two thumbnails/previews, one from the original photo and one from the PS edited version.
    So now I go to the Africa album in iPhoto. I double click on the thumbnail on the main screen to open Monkey Photo and I see a big gray blob with a large exclamation point in the middle. I go to the iPhoto library folders, and see that Monkey Photo is no longer in Roll 100, but now in Roll 110. But somehow iPhoto is not recognizing Monkey Photo in Roll 110 (and it's no longer in Roll 100, so as far as iPhoto is concerned, it doesn't exist...but it does).
    So back to iPhoto. I click on View and switch to Roll view. Now I see Roll 100 and Roll 110. I click on Monkey Photo thumbnail in Roll 100, big gray blob, but click on Monkey Photo preview in Roll 110, and now I see Monkey Photo, in all his/her wonderfully edited colors from PS Elements.
    How do I get the thumbnail in the iPhoto Library and the Africa album to work to recognize that Monkey Photo is now in a new roll? I did the rebuild stuff (control-option on opening iPhoto, click on first three choices, wait 30 minutes....nothing happened). I noticed the ColorSync profile was missing, and reinstalled it. Still the big gray blob following thumbnail clicking. I did a war dance. Still nothing.
    What am I missing here? If you tell me that I have to recreate the Library, then the next noise you hear will be iPhoto disc being used as a frisbee and smashing into the neighbor's window.

    Robert:L
    Are you accessing that file from the Finder to open in PSE or are you using iPhoto's preferences to use PSE when you double click a thumbnail? The latter is the way it should be done. Then as long as you do not create a layered or otherwise edited file that required the psd extension nor change the file name, iPhoto will recognize the edit update the thumbnail accordingly. If you access those files from the Finder, open in PSE, edit and save, the thumbnail will not be updated but when you go to the edit mode you'll see the edits.
    Go to iPhoto's preferences and under the General section select PSE under the Open photo with: menu.

  • Using iPhoto and editing with Photoshop Elements 4

    Hello
    I am new to Macs after many years using PC and I am struggling to set up my photo workflow. I shoot in RAW format and input into iPhoto from iPhoto I double click on the photo and which opens the RAW editor in Photoshop Elements. After making changes I open the file in Photoshop and then save as a TIFF.
    My problem is I do not see the changed and saved file in iPhoto and if I double click on the photo again it opens back up in the RAW editor not as a TIFF.
    Can any one point me in the right direction to solve this or is what I am trying to do not possible
    Thanks
    Grant

    Grant
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    What you're trying to do is not possible.
    When you save as a TIFF you create a whole new file that needs to be imported into iPhoto anew. iPhoto will track an edit as long as you stay with the same file - so, edit your jpeg in PSE and use the 'Save' command and the change is reflected in iPhoto. However, you cannot Save RAW files, it's always a Save As... and so the resulting file has to be imported.

  • Organise with iPhoto,  Edit with Photoshop Elements, but avoid destructive editing

    Hi All,
    I prefer to use iPhoto as my photo organiser and for sharing to Facebook and Flickr, but I also prefer to use Photoshop Elements (v11) as my editor. iPhoto is configured to launch PSE for editing and it works fine. My question relates to doing non-destructive saves back into iPhoto. It appears as though I cannot have version control because doing a save overwrites the original file in iPhoto. Although I can chose to save an edited version of my image elsewhere on my MacBook I would prefer to have orginal and saved versions colocated. Is there anyway around this issue or do I have to use PSE Organiser to have version control?
    I like being able to Flag a bunch of photos in iPhoto, go to the Flagged folder to share them, and the way iPhoto displays shared folders uploaded to Facebook and Flickr. PSE Organiser seems a bit convoluted.
    Thanks.

    Take a look at Aperture - with it you can have versions and many people have reported that its editing is robust enough that they seldom if ever use PS or PSE anymore - maybe that would give you the editing power you wnat with the nondestructive editing of Aperture and version control

  • Editing with photoshop elements my copy photo colors change

    When I have a photo open in Aperture and I select "edit with Photo Shop Elements", Aperture makes a copy of my photo as it is opening up PSE9.  The copy photo changes.  I can look at the histogram and see they are different.  Why isn't this copy EXACTLY the same?  

    The file format of the newly created file (it becomes a Master) is set in Aperture Prefs.  Is it different than the file format of the existing Master?  Is there any chance the change in file format accounts for the difference you are seeing?

  • Printing duplex with HP Officejet Pro 8600 causes windows 7 OS to shut down/restart

    Why when printing duplex with my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer it causes windows 7( 64-bit) to shut down/restart. Windows message is "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown.  I've ran HP Hardward Diag. Utility and Print and Scan Doctor which indicated everything is working properly with the printer.  Ocassionaly I can print duplex without windows shutting down and restarting, but most of the time it creates issue with Windows causing it to stop and restart.  Single sided printing seems to be fine.  I've already oncehad windows to "Startup Repair" in which ccase I selected restore to a previous working point.  Everything worked for awhile then a duplex printing session starting causing windows to shut down again.   THanks for your assistance.

    Yes, the updated USB 3.0 driver corrects the issue and should be installed.

  • Xcode causing slow start up and shut down times

    Hi,
    Before installing Xcode my mac had a start up time of no more then 30 seconds and shutdown 5 seconds, since installing Xcode these have changed to 1 minute 15 seconds for start up and 10 seconds to shut down. Is this normal? My friends mac has done the exact same thing, is there any way to fix this without removing xcode?
    Many Thanks,
    Callum

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    I have Xcode installed on my Mac but haven't noticed that it affects startup or shutdown times. Perhaps that's because I've had Xcode installed for a long time.
    As far as I can tell Xcode has no "helper" applications that might slow startup or shutdown. You might look at the "Login Items" list in the Accounts panel of System Preferences to verify that.
    I'd also launch the Console utility and search for any messages during the time your Mac is starting or shutting down to see if you can see anything that explains what you're seeing.

    If repairing doesn't work, then try a clean install. You will need to run the Acrobat/Reader Clean script: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs
