Photoshop 8.0 Question

I have Photoshop 8.0 Elements but have not used it for years. It will not launch, can't I still use it as a photo editor without the online Revel stuff? This is a stupid question but I can't find a straight answer out there, what am I missing?
Sincerely,
Photoshop Confused

Just don't use the welcome screen. Go into the program files/applications and find the editor or organizer in windows, or the PSE application on a mac and launch that directly. You can't use revel from within PSE 8 at all ever.

Bridge/Photoshop Web Gallery Question-flashobject.js file

Hi There, I have a question about the Photoshop Flash Gallery, particularly the flashobject.js file and index.html file. Whenever I try and open the finished Flash Gallery HTML page, I get a message that says "Please upgrade your Flash player" and "Already have Flash player installed? Click Here." Is there a way that I can remove that and just have it go to the Flash Gallery, if so where? I notice that it says Flash Player 6 but that is an old version. I am not very knowledgeable in javascript so any help would be appreciated.

The current version is Flash Player 10.
Pleaseprovide details about your setup.

Photoshop CS4 CPU Question...

Hello,
I hope everyone had happy and safe holidays. Welcome to 2009.
I have a friend with a Pentium 4 system and she wants to run Photoshop CS4
Extended on it. Right now it only has 1GB of ram and while she plans to buy
a new system later this year, she would like to use the one she has now. She
can install another 1GB of ram, however the system requirements for PSCS4E
only states a 2GHz or faster processor. It doesn't state a minium specific
kind of processor.
So my question is will Photoshop CS4 Extended run on a fast Pentium 4
machine with 2GB of RAM, Windows XP Pro?
Thanks,
Robert

Bob, the problem is without knowing if it will install and run she doesn't
want to spend the money on the ram. Since Adobe doesn't state with the
requirements anything more than "2GHz or faster processor" and since a
friend of mine wasn't able to install until he added 2GB of ram to his
system we both want to make sure that it will install on a P4. Once we know
that she can then decide if she wants to spend the money on the extra ram.
If it won't install on a P4 (the installer like with the less than 2GB of
RAM won't let it) then buying the extra ram is moot and would be a waste of
money.

[PC] Reinstalling Photoshop Elements 11 Question

How do I reinstall Photoshop Elements 11 on new PC?

Dear Bill (sent 11 March, but not posted here!)
My old (actually quite new) computer unexpectedly packed up irreparably last month. Fortunately data was backed up, but not programmes (I assumed I would be able to reinstall from original providers). The answers to your questions in this context are:
I do not have PSE 11 as either a file or physical media
Was installed once – on now defunct machine
No warning of breakdown, so not deactivated or uninstalled
I have the PSE 11 serial number
I may say I have been extremely put out by the way that the Adobe helpline has responded – out of warranty so £65 before we will even talk to you!
Alan
PS (1 April 2014) I gave up and downloaded a new copy of PSE11 from Adobe, but this would not open. After a long and fruitless time on various Adobe sites, trying to resolve that issue they informed me that they do not 'maintain' previous versions (though maintenance not requested - just access to their own download, and PSE11 may be previous, but mine was only 2 years old). An upgrade option is referred to on the Adobe site, but could not be ordered. I have given up and ordered PSE12 from Amazon (for £65), after being offered it for £199 by Adobe! This has left a very bad taste in my mouth - April fool indeed.

Photoshop scratch disk question

Hi All,
I do a lot of work with photoshop elements, and currently have an external drive with a 2GB partion as my scratch disk - connected via firewire.
However I am beginning to find this set up a little annoying as it means I am stuck to one location unable to move when using photoshop.
I was thinking about partioning the internal hard drive on my PB instead and so having the scratch disk available wherever and also the transfer speed would be by the Gb instead of 400Mb. (am I right?)
Is it a good idea to partion a hard drive on a portable? is it worth all the hassle of reinstalling and also has anyone had any problems after partioning? like battery life decreasing?
Thanks in advance,
Naj

you seem have to put this question in the software session but fine. well, actually, you don't need to specifically partition you drive for photoshop and just let it choose your start-up disk or other connected drive you choose. but, for external drive, you have to connect while you start up you system. if not, your ps will always switch back to your start-up disk when you start your ps.

Photoshop CS6 nooby questions/how do i?

I have alot of quesstions and dont really see alot of clear forum posts on what im looking for. so ill make this discussion thread in hopes of getting responses here. Also if someone knows a better forum somewhere for topics or discussion like i ask here PLEASE direct me im open to looking other places.
For starters. I would liek to know if there is a way to get a more realistic oil painting look using brushes or a extension or combination in PS CS6. The filter is rubbish imo doesnt look liek oilpainting at all really. Looks more like a colorized embossing tool. I did find a program Autodesk Sketchbook 6 which has a more paint like look and sets of brushes to accompany. But alas its not got the precision and options that PS has. So if anyone knows how i can achieve this type of effect whiel just painting with a tool id appreciate a link to or explanation on how I have seen 'prfessionals' in videos doing the exact thigns im asking about. Yet they could have been using a custom built extension of some sort and assuredly running a older version of the program as it ahs been awhiel since i seen it. So hope its out there and someone directs me to it lol.

Simplify is my third most used Topaz product after Adjust and DeNoise, but I probably use the other two 100 times for every use of Simplify, and never to produce an oil paint look. So I just had a play, and it works pretty well with lots of presets, an plenty of sliders to fine tune. It doesn't produce brush strokes though, so Photoshop's Oil Paint filter is a useful tool to use after Simplify.
Last I looked you can get a 30 day fully function trial of the Topaz products, and they are realistically priced.
But I suspect some of the examples you have been looking at did not use Photoshop at all, but Corel Painter. Check out some of these links

Please don't be fooled by all the Installation, driver, and high dpi posts you see in this forum. I think most of the regulars here HATE them, but answer them while waiting for interesting questions about how to do stuff with Photoshop. In fact this forum had a much higher percentage of interesting questions befor the CC Photography bundle deal was released, which attracted swarms of new users with little experience, and sometimes inadequate systems. It is rude not to answer them, but it is not always a rewarding experience with people sometimes thinking we are paid Adobe staff who they can vent at.
So if you have interesting questions, please ask them.

Photoshop CS6 license question

I have a Photoshop CS6 installed on a desktop PC and sent the PC for repair. The tech re-installed the OS so I never had the chance to de-activate the s/w. I know I am entitled to 2 licenses (one desktop and one laptop). I re-installed the PS on the repaired PC and seems to work fine. How do I know if I have burned 2 licenses already or just one, without trying to install to a laptop to test it?
I can't seem to find Adobe's phone number on the website to ask the question so here I am asking the forum.

You can chat with some one here: Contact Customer Care
This is Adobe's phone number: 1 (800) 833-6687
I would wait until you do have the issue i front of you, then call Adobe. Otherwise they may not do much for you.

Adobe Premiere and Photoshop Elements deal question

So last week I bought Adobe Premiere Elements and I love it but I just found out that there was a deal where you could buy Adobe Premiere and Adobe Photoshop Elements for $149. I really want Photoshop Elements but if I buy it individually I have to pay $99. I was wondering is there a way to just add it on to the Premeiere Elements I just bought? Or am I stuck having to pay the $99 for Photoshop elements?

You're making it much more complicated than it has to be. If you make a shortcut for the DNG converter on your windows desktop or for a mac, a desktop alias or put the converter in the Dock, you can just drop a single file on it. The converter will open and you can ignore the stuff in the window except for the destination for the converted file, and click Convert.

Having problems with aperture 3 on imac osx 10.7 and wish to install adobe photoshop elements 10, question will i loose all my liberary from aperture??

would i loose my fotos from the aperature library when i change to adobe photoshop elements 10. aperture keeps shutting my system down all available help has not done any good. gmadeline

You'd only loose your Aperture libraries if you deleted them or damage them in some other way. The simple act of installing another app will not do this.
Of course you do realize that PS will not have any access to the Aperture libraries. If your originals are referenced then PS can get to them as it would to any file. If your originals are managed you will need to export them in order for PS to use them.
This all assumes you are abandoning Aperture for PS. If you are looking to do something else post back,

Photoshop elements 11 question

I tried a practice file yesterday with PhotoShop 11 using with my Windows Vista system. I used one of my set of photos, selected a few, and chose one to work with. I was impressed with the changes I could make using Photoshop for the first time ever. Now, whenever I go to photo editor and hit open, I always get the exact same photo I played with yesterday - nothing else, even when I choose that practice file. Nor can I get rid of this as an option. My other options under "open"
are "new images from clipboard" (which never works) and "new blank file" which only places blank files. What I want to do is to use a desktop file only, where I can place photos
when I wish to work with them, by simply copying them from other sources I already have, and choose from the half dozen or so photos I will place there when I want to work with
photos. Right now I am stuck in no man's land, unable to work with any more photos. What am I doing wrong? How do I use only the "work file" I want to use? How do I replace the practice file with the file I want to use?

Try File>Open
Also, if you just click on the word Open instead of dropping down the menu, that should get the open dialog as well.

Photoshop Elements 9 question

I just installed Photoshop Elements 9 on a laptop. I had it previously installed on a pc but the motherboard died and so I installed it on a different laptop to get by until getting a new latop. I get a message saying I need to deactivate photoshop from another pc. I uninstalled it but didnt deactivate it before I uninstalled. Does this mean photoshop 9 on the new pc will expire in 30 days?

You need to contact activation support:

Photoshop Elements 8 Question

I am thinking of buying Photoshop Elements 8, and I would like to know if it has some sort of tool like the quick mask tool in Photoshop.......

Sorry, I didn't word it very well.
I know there's a magic wand tool that when you click it, will not let you manually choose what you want to mask. It will go over whatever you click on that matches pixels. Does that make sense or am I still confusing you?

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Question

I've purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 12, completed the installation, but the program will not open. When I go to Adobe's site and log on, my purchase and software serial number is posted. Can't figure out what's to try next.

Hi Florida,
Did you encounter any errors during the installation?
What happens when you try to launch the software, does it give any error messages?
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer and then try launch and check.

Edit in Photoshop Elements 10 question:

Ok, I'm using LR3 and Elements 10. I need to make sure I'm doing this right. Im in LR, and I want to send a DNG file over to Elements. I click Edit with Photoshop Elements, it sends the file over to Elements. I do my edits in Elements, then click Save. It does come back into LR, but its still the PSD and I want it to be in DNG? Whats the best way to do this?
Is the only way it comes back is either a jpeg or psd? Or should I send files over in TIFF instead of PSD? And which color space should I be in?
Thanks folks.

Mike,
DNGs actually make the most sense for Raw type images. For rendered images, they're just another container around your rendered image (TIFF, JPG, ...).
In order to pass an image from LR to PSE, LR will always create a rendered derivate file of the Raw/DNG photo (either TIFF or PSD), and pass the rendered image file it to PSE. Upon return from PSE, the rendered image is updated in LR, but stays in the same file format.
Of course you can convert the TIFF/PSD to DNG after return using LR's conversion (Library -> Convert Photo to DNG), but I cannot really see a benefit in doing that.
There is no option of passing a JPEG to PSE using "Edit in" and receiving the updated version automatically in LR. If you want to work with JPEGs (which I don't recommend because of compression issues), you'd have to save the image as JPEG in PSE and re-import it into LR manually.
TIFF vs. PSD
These days (with TIFF supporting layers), there is no advantage of using PSD over TIFF anymore, and TIFF is a more common format than PSD. So I believe most people are using TIFFs to be passed to external applications.
Color Space
You want to pass as big a color space to external editors as possible. This would be ProPhotoRGB for LR.
BUT, as quite a few functions are not available in PSE when using a 16-Bit image (i.e. cloning), I only pass 8-Bit TIFFs to PSE. Using ProPhotoRGB in a 8-Bit image - as far as I understand it - can have some disadvantages for image quality. For this reason I'm passing 8-Bit TIFFs in AdobeRGB (which is smaller than ProPhotoRGB, but bigger than sRGB) to PSE.
