Photoshop Elements 12 with OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 doesn't run properly. What can I do?

I have updated Elements. As soon as I start working on pictures, it stops running. I can't even close the program. Only via Task Manager. Any idea what the problem could be?

Did you trash the prefs after updating to 10.10.2?
Quit Elements.
Launch Finder and find the user Library by clicking the Go menu whilst holding down the Optn (alt) key (n.b. the library is hidden until you press the optn key) and inside the Library folder select the preferences folder. Then trash the following files:
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Settings
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Re-launch Elements

  • I have been using Elements 12 without a problem for 9 months.  Now when I try to open the program, I get an error message  "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 quit unexpectedly" and it will not open at all.  What can I do to open the program?

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 cant read the raw files from my Fuji x-e2, what can i do?

    I need help please as I cant work on the raw file from my Fuji x-e2 on Photoshop Elements 11 as it cant read them. any suggestions what I can do?

    Unfortunatly it seems that the camera raw 8.3 plugin is required, which is still in a public beta for photoshop, but even
    when it's released as final, pse 11 will most likely not be able to use it.
    You could however download the
    DNG Converter 8.3 Release Candidate
    and convert your  Fuji X-E2 files to dng copies which should then open in pse 11

    Grab the plug-in posted here:  http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-menus-turn-white-mac.html
    That should get everything working as expected on Yosemite.

  • •Install Photoshop Elements with an account that has administrative privileges

    I will be upgrading to photoshop elements 12 and read that it was necessary to install photoshop elements with an account that has administrative privileges.  I'm not sure how to do this.

    There is no problem with any of the PSE versions.  I have used version 10, version 11 and version 12 in trial mode and I didn't see any problems with any of them.
    Your case is unique in that you have only one user account on the machine and so by default that account has all the privileges of an Administrator.
    also, you don't need to uninstall anything;  Version 10 and version 12 can work from your one machine.  they are installed on separate folders so don't worry about having old version on your machine.
    Just go ahead and install version 12.  You can download a trial version of PSE12 and it has all the features and functions of the boxed version that you can buy from Amazon or some big name stores.  After installing the trial version, you can use it for 30 days and by that time you will have made up your mind whether 12 is better for your need.  If you like it, all you need to do is to buy the boxed version and use the serial number to activate what is already on your machine.  You don't need to re-install it using the DVDs in the box.
    Hope this helps.

    I am learning to use Photoshop Elements with my recently downloaded Elements 13.  I am disappointed that there is no longer a golden section grid option.  Does anyone know if there is a way I can get this?  Is there an upgrade to a more advanced photoshop or a plug in that has it as an option?

    Just user to user....based on past and current history, Adobe Tech Support is not going to help you with a technical issue which is preventing you from using your purchased serial number for Photoshop Elements. Version 12 is not the current version. And, the Adobe Tech Support is limited even for the current version which is 13. If this matter involves a purchased activated serial number trapped on a crashed computer while you are trying to install on a 3rd computer, then probably Adobe Chat Activation can be of assistance. If that is the case and you want to explore that possibility, then click on the following link
    Contact Customer Care
    Photoshop Elements
    Adobe ID, Signing In
    Adobe ID, Sign In, Account Help
    Chat Panel
    If the above link does not hold its set, then you will need to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
    Are you getting one of those "too many computers with your serial number" messages? Then the above should apply to your situation.
    Before the above consider....
    a. For Photoshop Elements technical issues please post your question in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. Somehow your
    question got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum.
    b. Have you verified your Photoshop Elements serial number at the Adobe web site (http://www.adobe.com) - after signing in with your
    Adobe ID and Password, type My Products in the Search field and follow the path to your product in My Products. Click on Adobe
    Photoshop Elements 12 in your list to reveal the serial number.
    c. Do the install with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

  • In photoshop elements 12 i try to select multiple people to view in organize but can only select one

    in photoshop elements 12 i try to select multiple people to view in organize but can only select one person at a time.  if I try to select two or more people to see their pictures, I get nothing.  I try to use CTL-click, but that does not work

    Hi,
    Try switching to Media view and then go to Find -> By Details.
    Set the field to People and select the persons name.
    You add further people by clicking on the + sign
    The two options above the search criteria allow you to select all photos containing at least one or only ones with all of your selections.
    The search can be saved in case you want to repeat it a later time.
    Hope that helps

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. It came installed on my HP Desktop. I am can not get the warp text tool to work. It has worked in the past. Once I click warp text, the little window does not pop up, and if I try to do anything else after I click warp text, it wont let me. Just sounds the ding, alert, can still slightly navigate the program but can not use any other tools after clicking warp text. I just have to open task manager and close the program. not sure if I'm doing something wrong or maybe I just need to uninstall and re install. Having trouble finding out how to uninstall and reinstall because the program came pre installed on my desktop.

    It actually sounds like the warp text window is opening off screen.
    Resetting the photoshop elements 10 preferences should fix it.
    *Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after you start the launch of the photoshop elements 10 editor
    *Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop elements setting file
    *Press Yes

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

    Help--purchased windows Photoshop elements, I'm on a MAC. I haven't downloaded yet, what do I do?

    Usually an Elements license will work for either platform.  Try downloading the Mac trial version and use the serial number to activate it (there is no difference between trial and full versions)

    All apps are tied forever to the Apple ID used to obtain them, that is also true with In-App purchases.
    Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
