Photoshop Elements 6 License Recovery Problem

I have a 64bit HP with Vista Home Premium. Last year I installed Elements 6 and in order to get it to run I had to use the License Recovery File. My network card went out in April of this year and a driver went out also. They did a point restore to fix the driver problem. Now when I try to run the License Recovery File to get elements running it only flashes a black screen, sometimes with white lettering and sometimes without. Is there a way to solve this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same problem with PSE 6 and a Canon LIDE 80 scanner -- PSE 6 will not recognize either the Canon plug in or even the TWAIN driver installed with PSE 6. Anyone else get PSE 6 to work with a scanner?
p.s. -- installed the new driver (which is the same as the old driver), rebooted, and still nothing. Scanner works perfectly with PSE 4.

I uninstall Photoshop Elements 11 due to problems and cannot reinstall it

Hi,
I uninstall Photoshop Elements 11 due to problems and cannot reinstall it.
When I run the installation setup file, the application offer me only to uninstall the previous installation.
As there is no application available (as I uninstall it), the installation process stops.
I've tried to clean the registry, manually uninstall using the Adobe recommandation for the Photoshop Elements 11.
Impossible to obtain a recovery of the installation process.
Thanks for helping
Regards

That's a tough one, and since you speak english and am not an Elements expert, I moved this thread to the Photoshop Elements forum.

Can't install Photoshop Elements 11 licensed version because of trial version

I can't install Photoshop Elements 11 licensed version because of trial version that is still on my computer and is not being completely uninstalled. The intended folder to install has some files remaining from the trial version, and this prevents the licensed version from installing. The intended folder from teh installer is Program Files (x86)/Adobe, but that has the trial version still there, which will not completely uninstall.

Hi Steve,
Are you getting error message while installation.

Photoshop Elements 8 license problem: supposedly using one version on more than one PC

Hi!
I've got a problem with my license. Photoshop tells me that I can only use it for 30 days, since my license is already being used by 2 computers. In order to fix that I'm supposed to deactivate at least one version on another computer. Now the problem is, that it's the same computer but once I formatted the harddrive and the other time I had to exchange the harddrive. So as a result I'm still only using one Photoshop Elements, though Adobe thinks I'm already using two and I'm unable to deactivate the other versions, since they do not exist anymore.
How am I supposed to fix that now? I'd appreciate a solution if anyone can help me.
Thanks

You need to call support by phone.

Adobe Premiere Elements 11 & Photoshop Elements 11 Errors, Downloading Problems, Uninstalling probs

On May 8, 2013 I ordered Adobe Premiere Elements 11 & Photoshop Elements 11. To this day they do not work properly, did not download properly, nor can I get them uninstalled properly to reinstall properly. I have not been able to contact Adobe all these months, & now they tell me I have to pay $39.00 more just to speak to them. I refuse to give them anymore money than I have already gave them! Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue? I currently have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 & Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0. I was upgrading.

Thank you so much for replying. But I sort of solved the problem, yet I didn't solve the problem. I am running Windows 7 on my computer. When I purchased Elements & Premiere 11, I purchased a 1 time download from Adobe. Upgrading from 7.0. When I went to download it, then install it, it told me that through an error message, that it was not downloaded or installed correctly, so I would have to uninstall the whole thing & start from scratch, basically. So, I went into the control panel to delete the program. Hit uninstall, & it told me after it was done, that everything was not uninstalled & had uninstalled incorrectly. Now it was missing from the Control Panel, & I could not find the remains anywhere, I thought I would try to redownload it again. So, going through the process, it would let me download it, but it would not install due to the remains of the previous installation. I tried everything. And when I tried to go straight to Adobe, it was a no go. I put it on the back burner for months & used my 7.0 occassionally. Today I decided I wanted it fixed. I went to Adobe...my licenses are still in my account. But no matter what I did, it would not accept my old licenses. With the help of a previous poster, maybe on a different thread, I was able to uninstall the old program remnants. But I could still not download 11. I just decided to cut my loses, & purchased 12. I bought the trials, downloaded them, they worked great, & I purchased them. So, all's well that ends well. Of course, I am $170-some dollars in the hole, but whatever it takes. Again thank you for your reply to my delima.

Lightroom and Photoshop Elements 12 transfer/sharing problem'

I'm new to Adobe Lightroom 5 and Photoshop Elements 12. I open a Lightroom image in Photoshop Elements 12 by using Photo-->Edit In--> PSE12. I make a change in PSE12, and then "save." I understand that I'm supposed to overwrite the default file name. But, when I go back to LR, my PSE changes are not saved. What am I doing wrong?

I noticed the same problem when I upgraded to elements 12 in december. Also using LR 5.3 on mac running 10.8.5. When using the save command in PSE usually the saved file was not visible in LR. I posted in the forum then without any positive responses. As I worked the problem myself I noticed that when saving from PSE if I used the "save as" command instead of the "save" command and then answered in the affirmative to overwrite the existing file the edits would save back to LR without fail. I have been using this technique for the last 6 weeks or so and haven't had any edits fail to return to LR. I have no idea why this would fix the problem as all the instructional material says not to use the save as command. I suspect it is a bug in PSE12 but because it's "only" elements no one at adobe is paying any attention. Anyway, try that and see if it solves your problem. It worked for me although I can't explain why.

Photoshop elements 6 raw image problems.

PROBLEM 1: I recently purchased a Canon 7D and got a free copy of PSE6, and I had to upgrade to camera raw 5.6 to view raw files. I am now able to view raw files, but still get a error; "DLL c:\Programfiles\adobe\photoshop elements 6.0\Plug-Ins\Camera_raw_5_6\win64\camera raw .8bi is not a valid windows image. Please check against your installation diskette." I'm not sure what's going on does anyone have any advice?
PROBLEM 2: I took some raw pictures in B&W and when I view them in PSE6 they come out in color. I'm not sure what the problem is any advice? Is this problem related to problem 1?

The jpeg has been processed as a B&W shot already in the camera. The raw file is the raw data--the three color channels, unprocessed. Third party converters, like ACR will ignore any conversion settings you made in camera. Only the manufacturer's software can read those.

Photoshop Elements 6 Licensing for this product has stopped working.

Hello,
I have just done a clean install of Snow Leopard (after wiping my hard disk), then restored my system (without applications) from my Time Capsule. I have then successfully re-installed most of my software.
However, after re-installing Photoshop Elements 6 from the original DVD, I get the following error message:
Licensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time......
This appears as soon as I attempt to run the program from my Applications folder and Elements closes as soon as I click OK and does not allow me to input my license key.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks,
Philip.

Hiya Philip M,
most Adobe products work by the licencing system installing some sort of "correct" answer-code when adobe connects to verify the authenticity of your product. I think, you may have to contact Adobe.
When I ran Macromedia Dreamweaver, you were able to "transfer licence" (PRIOR to uninstalling from one machine and installing on another), which would send the signal to "free up" the correct (and authentic) licence and then install on your other machine. This facility has been removed (no doubt to protect the product) and I had to pay for a new disk (a bit of a pain); maybe you are luckier but check adobe's help site:

good luck

Photoshop Elements 9 Printer Driver Problems with Canon MP600 printer

I'm having problems using my Canon MP600 printer with Photoshop Elements 9 with regard to the paper allocation. The MP600 has 2 paper trays and for some reason when using Elements it prefers you to use the top loading (auto sheet feeder) method all the time. For space reasons I need to use the bottom cassette. When you initially go into the settings for the printer within elements you can choose the cassette and paper type etc no problem and make a print. When you go back in to do another print it changes the setting back to auto sheet feeder so you have to change it back again which is winding me up! I have got the latest drivers for the printer and they are set up to how I would like the printer to work but Elements changes some of those settings for some reason. Does anyone know a way of fixing this please ?? When I'm not in Photoshop if I go to print something from the web it performs perfectly so I can only assume its Elements thats changing the settings.
Also when I print small thumbnail sized pictures on an A4 sheet of paper to test what the photo colour will look like when I go back into the print menu it puts the thumnail picture back in the center of the sheet of A4 rather than leaving it where it was, so then you have to put in the top and sideways measurements again to carry on ! The last version of Photoshop I had never did that. Does anyone know had to solve that problem ?? Any thoughts on the above problems would be gratefully recieved !

Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.

Photoshop Elements 12 - Dropdown Menu Problem -flickers and will not stay descended to allow choice

Photoshop Elements 12 - OS Windows 8
While PE12 Editor loads without a problem, whenever I try to select an action from the dropdown menus - File, Edit, Filters, etc - the dropdowns flicker and disappear before I can make a choice to New, Open, or Save or Save as... or before I can make any selection whatsoever. The is terribly frustrating as you may gather.
I am an experienced software user and a member of Creative Cloud. I have used earlier versions of PE, so I am familiar with setting up the program and using its interface.
What are possible solutions to this problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have been messing around for the entire day and finally fixed the problem. I also had issues with the dropdown choices flickering and disappearing within 2 sec before I could make my selection. I went under the view tab and clicked Snap To choices. I unchecked the layers and document bound choices and now the drop down menus work fine.

Close all Adobe applications.
On your startup disk, locate and delete the following folder:

Enter your password if asked to authenticate the folder deletion.
Download the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool.

Mac Yosemite Photoshop Elements 12 track pad problem

Is Adobe fixing this? Need it fixed NOW!

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
vaishali
