Photoshop Elements 12 - problems with copying image
I'm trying to select a person from one photo and put them into a completely different photo. Using the selection brush (the lasso and magic wand didn't work with this photo) I have outlined the person then copied to the other photo. The problem is when I paste all I get is an outline, no content. I've also tried using the move tool with the same result, just the outline, no content. I've watched various videos and tried many other methods with no luck. Even unloaded and reloaded Photoshop Elements 12. Anyone had any advice? Thank you.
If you are using the regular selection brush, not the quick select tool, it only selects the area directly under the brush, so if you are using a small brush to brush around the outline, that's all you're selecting. The quickest way to fix it is to increase the brush size and hold down the shift key while brushing over the area within the outline, or switch over to the quick select tool, which finds the edges of objects automatically.

Photoshop Elements 9 - problems with locating photo files
I have saved my photos and my catalog on a removable hard drive. When my laptop's techical support had to unexpectedly replace my laptop's hard drive, it meant I had to reinstall Photoshop Elements 9, which we have done. For some reason, the My Catalog on the removable hard drive was showing that it was created in Photoshop elements 6 which was surprising since I know that I had used it in Photoshop Elements 9. I went ahead and converted My Catalog. It now shows the key tags,star ratings, and captions, etc. Everything except the basic picture. It is not looking for the files on the removable hard drive. What can I do to get it to look at the removable drive where they are stored with a matching file name in the appropriate subdirectories? The properties of the pictures seem to be showing the photos as being at various other locations that no longer exist! What do I do? I do not relish having to reimport, re-caption, re-edit, etc., etc. for hundreds of pictures. Photoshop's catalog sensitivity is really frustrating. I am about ready to go to another product. If I have to re-construct everything again, it will be my second re-construction of a PS catalog. And I will strongly consider a much more forgivng product.
Suggest that you make your own collage, esp. since time is running out. Do the math and determine the size that each of the 5 pictures should be, leave enough room to add text.
Crop each picture to the appropriate size.
Go to File>new>blank file, enter height and width of your document, background white, resolution 300px/in. The resolution of the pictures should be the same.. However, resolution 240-300px/in is probably ok for printing
Open the 5 picture files. Access pict. #1, go to Edit>copy, open the blank file created in step #3, then go to Edit>paste
Repeat for the other pictures. Each will on on its own layer. Use the move tool to position, and resize with the corner handles if necessary.
Using the type tool add text.
TIP: Open the grid to help you to position the pictures. The grid can be configured via Edit>Preferences>Guides and grid. You may want to check "snap to grid" under View>snap to grid -

What's error 1 in adobe photoshop elements configuration? I have a computer with W Vista 8, Windows office home and business 2013. I recently tried to install Photoshop Elements by CD with serial number but on the desktop appears the following message: error 1 (configuration problem) try to uninstall and reinstall. I have done this but the message continues to appear
You haven't mentioned which version of PSE. If it is PSE 13, that requires a minimum of windows 7.

I am having a problem importing my images into Aperture 3 from my Nikon D800E. The images appear as if red paint was splashed across the sky. The Nikon software used to transfer from the camera does not show this problem and Photoshop 6 is fine with the images exported as jpg from the Nikon software. Aperature does not even like the jpg images usable by Photoshop. I am suspecting that Aperture is not correctly using the camera raw file. Also, the histograms are radically different between the corrupted images and the Photoshop (good) versions. Aperture worked just fine for me in June with the same camera. All drivers and software are current as of this posting. Anyone else out there seen this before??
Are you sure you do not have Highlight Hot & Cold Areas turned on? (View->Highlight Hot & Cold Areas)?
The bug in Digital Camera raw only affected Raw images. In your first post you wrote:
Aperature does not even like the jpg images usable by Photoshop
If the JPG's have the same problem then it isn't this bug.

Is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with Windows 8.1?
Is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with Windows 8.1? I got a new computer 2 months ago and have been loading in my photos and pngs slowly and tagging all of them. If I understand correctly, even though I am saving the tagging to the metadata, Elements warns me that it will not save to pngs, which is what most of mine are. As I have added about half now (about 100 hours of tagging) my computer is freezing up and will no longer open my Elements. My computer completely froze and needed tech support for several hours to get anything to work again. The tech support couldn't find any malware to explain this problem and have concluded that the Elements is not compatible with my operating system. I have not been really pleased with this computer from the start and am not totally convinced that Elements is the cause of the initial lock up of my computer. I am willing to purchase a newer version of Elements if that is the problem, but am worried I will get a newer Elements, go through the loading and tagging process and have the same thing happen again, especially if I have to retag everything I just did. I cannot find anywhere that specifically states whether Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1 (only windows 8). Before I go to a lot of trouble, does anyone know for sure whether Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1? Thanks,Donna
PSE11 will run as a 32-bit application in W8.1-64, PRE11 will run as a 64-bit application.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 compatability with windows 8?
Hi, Can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere elements 11 if I have windows 8? i.e. is Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 compatabile with windows 8?
PSE 11 and Windows 8 and/or Outlook 2013 have several reported bugs. For example Outlook 2013 and PSE 11 are incompatible because all features (for example Photomail) do not work. Adobe will not support Outlook for email. The user community is unsure of whether it is an Outlook or Windows compatibility problem - but it something!

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 compatible with windows 8 64 bit?

but images saved from my phone or camera images that have not been manipulated upload fine, What am i doing wrong?Save/Export them as JPG. Photoshop defaults to PSD, so make sure you select JPG and not just rename the file to .jpg.
There are two ways to save them as JPG: Regular Save as option or Save for Web & Devices

How can I get photoshop elements to open my nef images?
How can I get photoshop elements to open my nef images?
The D3200 requires at least ACR 7.1, which isn't compatible with any version of PSE prior to PSE 11, so no, you can't do this directly in PSE 9.
You could upgrade PSE, use the Nikon software to convert the files and then open the resulting images into PSE for further editing, or download the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEFs to DNG files that your version of PSE can understand. -
Will Photoshop Elements 10 work with Microsoft 8.1 operating system?
When selecting the option e-mail from the Elements Organizer to share a picture, the program stops with a note from Elements Organizer stating they could not finish creating the e-mail message. I never experienced this problem when it was operating in my older computer running on Windows XP. Will Photoshop Elements 10 work with Windows 8.1?
Depends on what e-mail client you're using. I believe that for W8 you need to install the Windows 7 version of Windows Live Mail.

Is Photoshop Elements 10 compatible with Windows 8?
Is Photoshop Elements 10 compatible with the new Windows 8 operating system? Microsoft now has an inexpensive Windows 8 upgrade path for laptop and desktop running Windows operating systems.
Message title was edited by: Brett NThe answer, aborwick, is no, according to Adobe. The company line is that Win8 requires PSE version 11.
Brett N's link leads you to that conclusion with a very nice chart but links come and go as IT managers come and go LOL hence the plain english response here for future posterity. I suspect you might finagle a way to install it but then will find it crippled in some way(s).
Speaking of which, it is my understanding that Adobe Photoshop Elements / Premiere 11 dropped support for a whole BUNCH of file formats* so make sure your files are supported before upgrading!! My last Corel image software update obsoleted over 250,000 images (because they were in a proprietary Corel format which Corel dropped support for and refused to provide any conversion whatsoever) which is why no Corel product will ever be seen on any computer of mine again. Caveat emptor!
Always amuses me (except when I am the asker of the question of course) how far around mulberry bush folks go instead of just answering the question. LoL

Does the adobe photoshop elements 11 come with an instruction manual
does the adobe photoshop elements 11 come with an instruction manual
Are you just starting with PSE and no previous experience? If so I sympathise because I found the Adobe Help function very frustrating and unhelpful because it is features based rather than functionality in grades of expertise.
Start with tutorials on the Organiser work space and then Editor work space to familiarise yourself with the functions of the work spaces. However be aware that the you will not grasp full functionality until you have used PSE for a while.
If you are starting out wanting to process images then I found the concept of "workflow" the most useful way to approach PSE. That is;
Import images from camera
Sort images into ones worth processing. I use my camera's software to do this. Use a star rating. (PSE recognises this).
Import to PSE for processing
Process RAW images (if applicable).
Process converted images (PSD of TIFF probably the best). Use guided edit to start with.
Save processed images to JPEG for printing.
Hope this helps.
