I have been using Elements 8 ever since it came out, and all of a sudden the cropping tool has changed: I can no longer crop horizontally or vertically, only diagonally. The up/down/side arrows have disappeared! Please help if you can, I'm no longer able to make my photos look their best. Thank you in advance.

Quit the editor (Quit PSE on a mac). Then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • I have been using Photoshop Elements 6 for many years. Should I upgrade?

    I edit a lot of photos - travel, renovations, projects and family. I am happy with Photoshop 6 but since I have been using it for so many years I am curious as to what I am missing out on by not upgrading? I don't want a resource hog and I don't want to lose any of my current functions and I don't want to be overwhelmed by major learning curve. Have simple things like auto smart fix improved?

    Adobe usually offers discounts on the full Creative Cloud (all apps) for customers with CS3 or later. However the Photography plan (Photoshop and LR) Is $9.99 pm (or local currency) and the initial benefits for CS customers who took what was then called The Photography Program (larger cloud storage) has now ended.

  • I just upgraded to Lion. When I import photos it imports the same photo over and over. Not even one of the photos selected!! Do you know how to fix this?

    I just upgraded to Lion. I just installed iLife'11 last night. When I import photos into iMovie (version 9.0.4.) , it imports the same photo over and over as if it were the ones I selected. Not even one of the photos selected!! The thumbnais show that unselected photo,  if I preview then I just see the preview screen all black.
    I even tried making an iPhoto album and importing straight from there. Exact same thing. I have restarted the application, restarted the computer, and googled half-to-death. No answers.
    Do any of you know how to fix this?
    I am working on OS X Lion (10.7.1) , a 2009 15" MacBook Pro. 4GB Memory. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. 4GB Memory 1067 MHz DDR3.
    Hope someone can help!!!

    It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

    I am using Photoshop Elements 11.  Do all .jpg formatted file have to be retangular in shape?  I want to create an oval .jpg picture to insert into a book.  Haven't been able to do so.  It would work if I could make the area outside the oval completely transparent.  Can anyone help me here?

    JPG does not support transparency, so even if you create an oval with transparent background, the saved JPG will have white background. Instead, save it as a PNG, TIFF, or GIF which preserve the transparency.
    Here is one of many ways to create your oval:
    Create a new file the approximate size of the oval. Add the oval with the Custom Shape Ellipse tool, and simplify the shape layer.
    In the Layers Palette, Ctrl-click the oval to select it and copy the selection to the clipboard (Edit > Copy).
    Then do File > New from Clipboard. This creates the oval with transparent background cropped to the oval size.
    Then save it as one of the file types that support transparency (and also supported by the application where you are sending the picture to).
    Note:  Is is not even necessary to do step 2. That is only if some reason you want the oval to be tightly cropped. It is sufficient to delete the Background layer in step 1 (or turn off its visibility) and save the file. The oval will appear correctly in the book with either version.

  • I have a Nikon D600 and D800 and I shoot everything in Raw. I use Photoshop Elements 9 for processing but I have been unable to convert any RAW files to open in PSE. Says unable to parse the file. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Since pse 9 can only use up to camera raw 6.5 and the d600 needs at least 7.3 and the d800 needs at least 6.7, you can use the
    8.6 adobe dng converter to convert those files to dng copies, which then pse 9 should open.

  • I have been using final cut express for years and now want to switch to final cut studio 3. do I have to remove final cut express before installing final cut studio 3 or can I have them both installed at the same time on one computer?

    I have been using final cut express for years and now want to switch to final cut studio 3. do I have to remove final cut express before installing final cut studio 3 or can I have them both installed at the same time on one computer?

    You can have them both on the same computer as I and many others have done for years.
    Just go ahead and install FCS 3 normally.
    There will be absolutely no problems.

    Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
    This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
    1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
    2. Select to "Options
    3. Select "Applications"
    4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
    5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
    Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.
