Photoshop Elements 12 Editor Crashes When Editing Raw

Hi --
Consistently when I'm editing RAW files (Canon T2) the Elements Editor 12 crashes. To repro:
1) I'll select 5-8 photos in the Organizer.
2) Right click and "Edit with PS Editor"
3) RAW importer/editor (not sure if that's the official name, but it's the screen when I can make minor edits and white balance)
4) Select all images and open.
5) Initially they'll all open in the full PSE Editor, but after editing a few the editor will hang and suddenly wierd things happen:
     a)     the "after" version of the photo is a grey and white checkerboard. If I go back to the "before" version, it looks fine
     b)     the close file "x" button in the top right is disabled (just get a beep), but if I go under "file" and "close" in the menu, the file will close.
     c)     I can't close the application itself.via the "X" button or "Exit". I need to logout or manually go into task manager and kill the process.
I have a fairly new PC with vanilla installation of Windows 8.1.
Any suggestions?

Update -- still having this problem but not it seems to happen when editing JPEG as well. I'm not sure how to repro it as it doesn't happen every time, but sometime between the 2nd and 10th photo that I try to edit the editor crashes right after I save or "save as". I hear a system bing and then the editor becomes non-responsive. I can "close' the file via the menu (not via the "x" button in the top right), but no other functionality works. Can't close the editor other than by shutting down or manually killing via Task Manager.
Incredibly frustrating. I'm thinking about uninstalling/reinstalling but am worried about losing all of the data in the catalog (~15k photos). I'm thinking about just writing the metadata to the files (most have it already) and manually copying the catalog files.
Anyone else have this problem and/or suggestions on how to address it?
Thanks much

Photoshop Elements 8 crashes when "EDIT" opens from Welcome screen

When Photoshop Elements 8 is launched from the shortcut on the desktop, welcome screen opens and at the bottom it shows "gathering user info....". It keeps doing it as long as I don't click on edit button. When I click on edit button, the edit windows opens with my name and soon it crashes and closes the program. After the program closes, it opens a crash report window which I submitted to Adobe three days ago. I am still awaiting for the response. Sometimes, instead of closing the program, it crashes my computer and a blue screen shows up. In this case, I have to shut down the computer and restart again.
I thought I can reinstall the proram but this software would not allow me uninstall either. When I click on "remove" button on the program in the control panel, a window pops up with a message " this action is only valid for products that are currently installed".
Any help from Adobe technician is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Following could be the possible workarounds :
1)      On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
         Go to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\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.
2) Try resetting the PSE preferences by
   1. Close Elements.
   2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
   3. 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.
3) In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall.

Help - Photoshop Elements 8 crashes when trying to start Organizer

Photoshop Elements 8 crashes when trying to start Organizer. Funny, that starting the Photoshop Editor is not a problem and works fine.
I deinstalled the software and then installed it again, but had no effect.
What can I do?
Nick

The Organizer preferences may have become corrupted, needing to be automatically re-built on a re-start.
Close Elements.
Click the Start Button and then your user name (in place of mine) and navigate to:
C: Users >> 99Jon >> AppData >> Roaming >> Adobe >> Elements Organizer >>8.0 >> Organizer
Delete the PSA file (with key symbol) and delete Status.dat
After deleting these two files re-start the program
AppData may be a hidden system file. See the link to reveal hidden files.

HT204490 Since installing the photos app Photoshop Elements keeps crashing when I try to open a phot

Photoshop elements crashes when I try to open photos since I installed the Photos app.

Hello Deb,
Something fishy going on with those particular files. But without looking at them directly I couldn't say what. Usually in a case like this the problem is some of the metadata that is attached to the file. Where did these files come from? A camera, a scanner, the internet?
An explanation about the Watched Folder function: It looks for changes to a folder, not just automatically grabbing whatever files are in it. Generally, you want to select an empty folder as a Watch Folder. Once this has been set up, as you add files to this folder they will be imported into the Organizer. If you start with a folder full of images, those will be ignored, any new items will be added.

Photoshop Elements 7 Crashes When Peak Files Are Generated

Have a PC with 80g HD, Pentium 4, 2g (400hz) RAM running Windows XP. PSE7 generates peak files each time project is opened. When blue bar at bottom right of screen reaches 100%, Elements 7 freezes and must be shut down using Windows task manager.
I have copied the file from 340g ext. HD back to C drive (the location of Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 program) and this has not resolved the problem.
I note that this appears to have been a common problem since 2006 (earlier versions of Photoshop) with Adobe.
Can anyone help.
Regards
Ozyjohn

Elements User
Have taken screen shot but Forum site will not allow upload of 1.8mb image even though the initial message states "Image will be scaled to fit 2mb limit". Have edited shot to show bottom right of screen only (700kb) and scanned to PDF (895kb) but still will not accept images!!!
In the PRE 7 application the message beside the blue progression bar is "Generating Peak Files For ......" . When the progression bar reaches 100%, the program freezes.
Any suggestions

Photoshop Elements 8 crashes when saving/opening file

Hello,
Since a day or two my PSE 8 crashes when i want to save or open a file.
It just closes without a crash reporter.
Is there anyone who can help me with this?
Regards,
Djmaster329

I am using a macbook pro running OS version 10.9. My version of Adobe Elements 8 came free with my purchase of a Wacom Bamboo drawing tablet.
I have the exact same problem.
- Creating a new blank image and saving it causes a crash. However, saving an existing image does not.
- Using the (File > Open), (File > Save) and (File > Save as) menu options causes a crash.
- Using the File > Save for web causes a crash as soon as I confirm.
So, I create a new blank image in Gimp with the dimensions that I want, export it as a .psd file, and open it by right clicking the blank .psd and selecting (Open with: Adobe Photoshop Elements 8). At this point, (File > Save) and (Command-S) save the image without causing crashes.
However, it's anoying that I have to use two programs to make one image. PSE 8 synergises well with my drawing tablet, but Gimp can create new images. It's really frustrating.
I think I reset my PSE preferences properly, but I'm not sure. Is there supposed to be a dialogue box confirming that my preferences have been reset? I'm not seeing one.
I'd really appreciate some help regarding this issue. Perhaps I should submit a ticket to Adobe support. Can I do that? I'm new here.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to read this long post.

Photoshop elements 6 crashes when opening second file

Hi all,
At work we've migrated our pc's from windows xp sp2 to windows xp with sp3 and the latest security patches. Since that time people that open a second file (jpeg) in photoshop elements 6, results in a crash of the program. Unfortunately the windows eventviewer records no error whatsoever.
Has anyone experienced this behavior before?
All help is appreciated.

Is this issue resolved in Photoshop Elements 8?
I don't know -- haven't heard any reports of it, but that doesn't mean anything. Neither does the lack of tech articles about the issue in the knowledge base (Adobe doesn't keep it well-updated). The issue used to happen with me before I changed printers. The best thing to do is to download the free trial of PSE 8 and try it.

Report editor crashs when editing

Hi
I have succesfully installed Oracle Report Builder 11.1.1.2.0 on a Windows 7.
So far it looks like everything is functioning, as I can open the report builder and create a new report.
I can open a report in order to edit it, but when I right click on "Data Model" and want to start "Report Editor", the whole program crashes...
Do anyone know a solution?

Try the following might work...Clear your temp folders then restart your Reports builder.

Photoshop Elements 8 crashes when I try to print in Windows 7

I have had this programme for a week and I like it. However, I have been trying to use it on a laptop with Windows 7 installed. all goes well until I want to print and the computer crashes. I did the same thing a few times so I took the proogramme off, reinstalled it and it still continues to crash. I am using a Sony Vaio VGN-NS30Z Intel Core Duo 2 T6500 @2.10 Ghz with 4 gig of RAM and 455 Gig of memory with over 85% free. Any ideas how to get around the problem? I have had to revert to my old laptop using XP and I have no problems with Elements 8 on that.

It sounds like a compatibility problem with the print driver.
Check here to see if your printer is supported on Windows 7.

Elements 11, crashing when editing, saving a file

Ever since upgrading to Mavericks - running 10.9 plenty of memory and space - I have had problems editing files or even saving a file as another format. Size of the file nor format of the file matters.
Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix? I have product labels I need to make, and haven't been able to work for several days.

A wacom tablet is a pad that you can draw on with a pen-like stylus instead of using a mouse.
Can you post a screenshot of what is going on? To do that press command+shift+3 and the file will appear on your desktop. To upload it you must come to the forum and start a reply, then click the little camera icon above the message composition area:

Photoshop Elements 7 - error when trying to open multiple images

i have attached a screen shot of the error that i get when i try to open more than 1 image at a time. the program ends up closing and i have to re open the program.
i have xp pro installed on my pc. my pc is part of domain. if i log on to the pc as another domain user i can open up more than one image. i have removed the program by using add/remove programs and re installed, which made no difference,
does anyone have any advice?

Have a look at this Adobe Tech doc titled Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop Elements 6 crashes when you open more than one image (Windows):

Elements 6 editor crashes when opening more than 1 file

elements 6 editor crashes when opening more than 1 file

It may be a lack of available memory (RAM). Open the Editor and click the menu:
Edit >> Preferences >> Performance
Photoshop Elements >> Preferences >> Performance (on Mac)
You can increase the amount of RAM available to elements, but never go above 90% otherwise you will have nothing left for running other open applications.
You can also allocate other volumes or an external hard drive as scratch disks which elements can then use in place of a shortage of RAM.

I have the Photoshop Elements 11 and when I use the stamp effect the image becomes totally black. It used to have my line drawing in white, now, just a black image. I need the stamp effect. also, most other effects simply crash the program.

Which operating system are you using?
Some filters like Filter>Sketch>Stamp need to have two different colors for the Foreground and Background set in the toolbox.
Press the D key to set the default toolbox color swatches to Black and White and then try the Stamp filter.
If your using mac os x 10.9 or 10.10, then some of the filters under Filter>Sketch will crash pse 11
They are Filter>Sketch>Comic, Graphic Novel and Pen and Ink
Otherwise resetting the pse11 editor preferences might resolve the crashing.
Go to Photoshop Elements Editor(Edit)>General, click on Reset Preferences on Next Launch and then restart the pse 11 editor

Photoshop Elements editor does not open from Lightroom edit command

I have PSE 12 and LR 4.4 on iMac 10.9.5. My LR preference is set to PSE Editor and was done so by LR, I cannot change it. When I try to edit in PSE, an 8 bit Tiff is created then I get the error message that "there was a problem.......". In the details is this line:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/AdobeLinguistic.framework/Versions/3/AdobeLinguistic
Referenced from: /Volumes/VOLUME/*/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor
Reason: image not found
I do not understand this, but the problems seems related to the Library, which, I don't know. I had PSE 12.1, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled PSE 12.0. It made no difference, same error message.

Before anybody asks, no the editor won't open from the startup screen nor from the right click menu when displaying a folder with pictures.

Premiere Elements 7 crashes when I start to edit clips

I have downloaded Premium Elements 7 and installed same. I have taken a small series of 12 clips to try the software, into "new project (all 12 clips).
I then took the clips into the editing mode, but after dragging the 3 clips the programme crashed.
This has happened several times. Each time a menu pops up and says "Adobe has stopped working. A problem has caused the programme to stop working correctly. Windows will close the programme and notify you if a solution is available. CLOSE."
I have Vista Home Premium, using a 2GB dual core intel with 160 GB harddrive. Can some one tell me what is wrong please

Dear Steve,
Thanks for the prompt response. I am having major problems. As you suggested I activated quicktime and then updated this. Then my problems got worse as I was unable to find the clips which were originally stored in Adobe photoshop so could not obtain them. I decided to uninstall PREMIUM ELEMENTS and re-download after restarting my PC. Unfortunately it will not install. it aborts part way throughthe installation
Install shows, C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0\ then Next, then Install, which I click on.
Part way through this install procedure a menu appears
Menu Error 1311. Source file not found and C:\User\Admin\App Data\Local\Temp\wzde 24\data1.cab. Verify that file exists and that you can access it. Retry and cancel
Checking through the files the last one is wzde 24 but no data1.cab file.
So what else am I not doing or doing wrong.
Thanks for your assistance
Barry

Subject: Premiere Elements 7 crashes when I start to edit clips
1) What are you using for source files? Photo? Video? If video, what type of camcorder did the video come from and how did you get it into your computer?
2) How much free, defragmented space is on your hard drive?
3) Is your operating system up to date? (Manually going to Windows Update and adding the hidden or custom updates) Do you have the latest version of Quicktime -- which is critical for running this program with any stability (per the FAQs to the right of this forum)? This is particularly important when running Vista.
