Layers Panel , Photoshop Elements and Windows 7

Anybody got any ideas on how to open the layers panel in photo editor?. When either using "window/layer or F11 all I get is a blank page on the right of the picture, not like the one shown on page 331 on the downloaded manual. I have only recently purchased to program, so I am new to it.

First, you do have an image open when you do this? Assuming yes try using the 'More' button at the very bottom right of the Editor screen and select 'Custom Workspace'. That should bring up the customisable multi-tabbed view. If it does and you like it, keep it. Otherwise click 'More' again and select 'Basic Workspace'. Hopefully this will reset the any display problem you may have. If not use Edit> Preferences> General> Reset Preferences on Next Launch and restart PSE.
Cheers,
Neale

Photoshop Elements and Windows Live Mail :(

Had Adobe come out with a patch yet to fix their oversight regarding WLM? Windows 7 had WLM and you can't get PE to send photos to WLM. It's very disappointing. I hate to abandon my favorite photo email software for something that works...... but looks like I'll have to.
ADOBE PEOPLE - PLEASE HELP.

Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order

I operate a windows 8, 62 bit computer. I have ordered and downloaded the following product for AU$129 Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 (Windows,English) on the understanding that it would convert PD files to word. It is not doing so. Is this a wrong order?

How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

As long as your license supports both platforms you should only have to download the Mac version and install/activate using your serial number. If you need help finding a link to download the file, please indicate the PSE version you need.

My photoshop elements and Lightroom serial numbers won't work for my new mac. I bought these softwares via download on my windows laptop but returned that laptop because the quality was not great. I decided to buy a mac and now can't use my serial numbers

my photoshop elements and Lightroom serial numbers won't work for my new mac. I bought these softwares via download on my windows laptop but returned that laptop because the quality was not great. I decided to buy a mac and now can't use my serial numbers to download the software.

Moving this discussion to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
Stephylei you will want to download the Mac versions of the installation files. If you purchased the software from Adobe, and choose the download option at the time of purchase, then the download will be available under your account. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

I purchased Photoshop Elements for windows and need it on mac

I purchased Photoshop Elements for Windows and need it for Mac. Can I reverse this or is there a way to get the right product?

I don't know if things have changed (I get the feeling they have as of late), but normally an Elements license can be applied to either platform, so you should be able to download the trial version for the Mac and use the serial number to activate it. If you have any problem you should be able to resolve it with customer spport thru chat.

Background Task on Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer "hangs"

I recently upgraded my software from Elements 10 to Elements 12 and had a bit of trouble. Apparently both 10 and 12 have a way of launching an executable in the background which tends to get "stuck" on my system. I believe the problem may be related to the network configuration and software mix I live with, but I need to confirm my suspecions and find a way to control the problem. Here is what I know... I have always experienced a lot of problems using Elements with my NAS device which is a 1TB usb 2.0 connected disk system attached to my Linksys E3000 Router. When I got the router, the BIOS software did not correctly support NTFS file systems, but subsequent updates eventually made this possible if you formatted the removable drive on a system in NTFS, you could then hang it on the router and "see" the contents, serve them via Windows Media Player, or iTunes, etc., etc. from a computer atteched to the network, or via wirless directly off the router. I archived all my photos out on this file system and have successfully indexed it for use with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer, but... When I went to install Elements 12 software I tried to install it without first removing Elements 10, and on a system which had run Elements 10 since the last full reoboot. During the install of 12 under "shared services install" the installation process "Hung" on a background task with a name like "AdobeElementsAnalyzer.exe" which only shows up in Windows 7 task manager as a running process, not as a full program, but because the file was locked by the system, the install hung. I eventually figured out that I needed to start the install of Elements 12 software immediately after having rebooted so that this program was not present in the background, and succeeded in completing an install of Elements 12 on my Windows 7 X64 system. This system required a "special" software download for Premiere Elements, but not for Photoshop Elements which is only apparently avaliable under 32bit emulation mode. I finally got the "shared components" portion of the X64 Premiere Elements to complete an install, and then set about verifying the onversion/upgrade of the indexes to my photos and video stored out on the NAS. The same rogue task which prevented me from doing the install showed up agian, taking all the system resources away from my dual processor Intel chip and refusing to let go. I was forced to terminate it from the task manager. I strongly suspect that my "issues" are in part due to the extrordinary network latency imposed by the drive connection I'm using to index my photos and videos, and I'm looking for a better approach to using the editors against my master catalog of files, as well as figruing out just what I need to do to insure that all the files I have stored on the drive are accessible by the organizer when I need to pull a copy to work on.
A complication is that I have two "legacy" Windows XP systems on my network, a reasonably fast Windows Vista Business desktop, and the Windows 7 X64 processor system which is the most powerful system I have. The Windows file security enhancements to NTFS changed from XP, to Vista, to Windows 7, so files which get saved to the NAS disk inherit a variety of different levels of security under windows. I have occasionally gone to one of my old XP boxes and "wiped" the security settings by resetting everything via Windows XP. Because the NAS is so slow, this process can take several hours and must not be interrupted by attempts to do anything affecting the NAS by any of my other networked computers. To avoid problems with my photo archive, it makes sense to me to do all my editing on copies which have been extracted from the NAS archive and stored on the C: drive (boot drive) of my Win X64 system.
What I seriously need to know is this: When/If I define a "watched" portion of my file system, rather than taking the time to manually import every little change to my photo archives, can I expect the Photoshop Elements Organizer to work properly as long as everything stored on the NAS is stored via the same system which runs Elements with the same active "user" in control so that all the windows 7 file security settings putting stuff on the mapped NAS drive remain properly secured under Win 7 X64? Frankly I don't care if the files appear "read only" to every other system and identity on my network, but I do need to be able to "see" them. I have been able to view slide shows and movies stored on the NAS via both my networked iPad, my Apple TV, and using Samsung's funky android and Windows compatible software. Frankly, I doubt that Microsoft or Apple has full understanding and control of the environment where there is no host "server" other than the eprom based stuff my Linksys E3000 loads to emulate early Windows Media Management architecture, but I mange to get it to work as long as I don't try anything sophisticated with the file permissions. As a fall back, can I expect individual "imported" bits out on the NAS to remain stable if indexed and used only by the Elements Organizer running on my Win 7 X64 system?
I am seriously considering converting an old WinXP desktop into a UNIX box which could be configured as a "Server" for everything stored on the NAS and be done with my problems in return for the power required to run the server all the time so stuff is there when I need it. Any recommendations?

Adobe hasn't said whether it officially supports PSE 7 on Windows 7. But reports are starting to trickle in that PSE 7 works fine on Windows 7 for most people, though a couple people have reported crashes. My PSE 7 seems to work fine, though I primarily use PSE 8 now. This is all very preliminary, and we'll learn more as more people post here.

How can I installed Photoshop elements in windows eight ?

This computer came with explore 10.

Download photoshop elements onto windows 8?

Hi there, I just want to know can you download photoshop elements onto windows 8?

Yes. Microsoft advises that version 8 of PSE will work with Windows 8. The best option is a new computer with W8 and then do a clean install of Elements. Some difficulties may arise if upgrading the operating system on top of existing software. In those circumstances make sure you have your original disks or your download package, in case a re-install is necessary.
Microsoft Windows 8 compatibility.

Merging layers in Photoshop Elements 8

I'm having trouble merging layers in photoshop elements 8. I have a .psd file that I have used in the past to add a background color, shape template, and restrict the size of images I have posted to my website. In the past I have used photoshop elements 6, and to accomplish what I'm trying to do I selected open-apple - G. This worked in the past, but is not bringing the layers together as expected. I went online and found that I could accomplish this by holding down option and clicking on the line that seperated the two layers, and this worked for me once and I have been unable to repeat it since. Any idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to apply a style to these web photos, and it's simply not working for me. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.

Looking at your image, you do know you have a layer set/group,which is like a folder in the layer structure? You can't apply a layer style to a folder, which is what you're trying to do in your screenshot.
This gets very confusing because of adobe's switching the names for these things around:
1. You have what used to be called a layer set and is now called a layer group, which is a folder in the layer structure. PSE doesn't natively do these: is this your image with the group created via an add-on, or did someone send it to you this way?
2. What used to be called layer groups are now called clipping masks. That's when you want to do something like crop the visible part of a layer to the shape of the layer beneath it.
It's not really clear where you want the layer style, why you have a layer group, and which layer you want the style on. If you can explain more, it would help.

Updates for raw files from Nikon D5000 on a photoshop elements 7 /windows 7 system

I have photoshop elements 7 but it won't open raw files from a nikon D5000 although I've followed the links and updated. It still says it won't open because it's the wrong type of file..I've downloaded a DNG converter but still nothing is happening.

You download and installed the camera raw 5.6 plugin, by following install directions on the following page?
Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.6 update
If you have a windows 7 64 bit system, then the Camera Raw.8bi plugin goes in
Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats
(the path adobe gives is for a 32 bit windows system)
Also, use the Camera Raw.8bi outside the folder named Win64

Should I download Disc 2 of Photoshop Elements and remove Disc 1?

It turns out I have 65 bit processor. Should I remove the disc 1 version (32 bit) of Adobe Photoshop Elements, and reinstall using Disc 2? How?

I'm installing PSE 10 (standalone, not w/Premier) from a box on Win 7-64-bit. The installation online help says that for Windows, regardless of 64-bit vs 32-bit, to start with disc 1. The labeling on the discs says the same thing - start with disc 1. So I did that, expecting at some point to be prompted to switch to disc 2. But I was never prompted; the installer went ahead and did the whole thing from disc 1. The installation went, by default, into Program Files (x86), not Program Files. I can never remember which is for 64- and which is for 32-bit. Did I get the right version installed in the right place?
