Photoshop Elements 8 won't open photo files

Elements suddenly stopped allowing me to open photo files.  I click to open a file, and nothing happens.  Help please!

  Try opening in camera raw from the Editor menu:
File >> Open As
Navigate to your image file and choose camera raw from the file format dropdown list.
If the file opens in the camera raw dialog click the open image button (bottom right) and that will send it into the regular Editor interface where you may be able to re-save another copy.

    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

    You are rude, to say the least.  It is adobe's fault for marketing it as compatible.  Yet another reason why I want nothing to do with adobe.  The fact they marketed it as compatible when it is not is what I have a problem with.  I am not blaming the software, I am blaming the company.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 won't open blank files or copy from clipboard

    PE9 for Macwon't open blank files or "copy from clipboard."  I get error messages that say, "Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe color engine," when I try to create a new blank file, and "Could not place because of a program error" when trying to "copy from clipboard."  I tried reinstalling the software, but that didn't help.

    Are you still facing the same problem ?
    can you try it after resetting your preferences.
    To reset your preferences at the time of launching PSE press command+option+shift key combination untill following pop up comes.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Won't Open a File

    I cannot get a photo to open in PSE 11 on my Mac to save my life. I have tried reinstalling the software. This is really irritating. Adobe, or someone, suggestions please?

    Adobe isn't here. Which version of OS X? If mavericks, did you install it after installing PSE (a reinstall after upgrading OS X doesn't count)?

  • I use a Nikon d610 and my Photoshop Elements 10 won't open in camera raw. How can I fix it? The camera version is 6.7.0339

    i'm using a Nikon D610 now and Photoshop Elements 10 won't open files in camera raw. How can I fix the issue? The version of camera raw is 6.7.0339

    Hi,
    The D610 requires camera raw 8.3 which is not compatible with your PSE 10.
    You need to upgrade to PSE 12 (or later) or use the free Adobe DNG converter. The converter will take a flder containg your NEF files and converte them to DNG files. The DNG files can then be used by PSE 10.
    DNG  Converter 8.7

    Using photoshop elements 6.0 - converting raw photos files to dng, how/where do I add metadata?

    Metadata can be added in Properties panel. select a file and hit Alt+Enter. It will open up Properties panel. You may drag drop tags on the media and do File > Write tags info to files to write tags in file metadata.
    Thanks

    I just bought lightroom 5. I had lightroom 3. Now when I export my photos from lightroom 5 and upload them into my photoshop elements program to edit the photo files are at 100% zoom percentage. When I upload photos from my old lightroom 3 program they come into photoshop at 14% zoom percentage which is what I want them to come in at so I can zoom them in to detail the skin. What might have changed settings wise between the 2 programs, I cannot figure it out.

  • Photoshop elements 10 won't open up Nikon d4s RAW files

    Photoshop elements 10 will not open up my RAW files from my new Nikon D4S.  My Nikon d700 RAW files tranfers fine.  I have updated my Camera RAW to 6.7 but it still does not open.  I do not want to convert my NEF files to DNG because you lose data.  Is there anything else I can do or another update out there?

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Elements 10 ships with Camera Raw 6.4.1 and is compatible up to Camera Raw 6.7. Nothing after that.
    The D700 requires Camera Raw 5.1 or later so Elements 10 can read those Raw files.
    The D4S requires Camera Raw 8.4 or later so Elements 10 will never be able to read those Raw files.
    Your choices are to convert the D4S Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Elements 10. Or upgrade to Elements 12.
    I do not want to convert my NEF files to DNG because you lose data.
    Where did you get that information from? What kind of data do you lose?

  • Photoshop CC 2014 won't open any files, not even create new ones

    I have a freshly installed version of Photoshop CC 2014 and it just won't open any single file no matter what I do.  I also have Illustrator CC 2014 installed for the past week, and it is behaving fine, and even opening up the files that Photoshop won't open (jpg, psd, png, etc.).
    I've tried uninstalling completely, and reinstalling it, and it still won't open any files.  Basically, nothing happens after I click the "Open" button from the Open File dialog window.
    I've also try resetting my user preferences using this video tutorial, and it also didn't resolve the problem: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html
    Has anyone else experienced this or can give information on how to resolve it?
    Thanks!

    Well, I finally got it to work through trial and error.  Here were the steps that I used to get it to work:
    1) Make sure that you are not behind any firewall/VPN/etc, just a direct connection to the internet (if possible).  I use Adobe for my work laptop, and I was informed that this could potentially be an issue during installation processes.
    2) Uninstall Photoshop via the Creative Cloud application interface.
    3) Right-click on the Creative Cloud icon from the system tray and "Quit" (it was automatically started for me from a previous bootup)
    4) Right-click on the Creative Cloud desktop icon and choose "Run As Administrator"
    5) Re-install Photoshop
    After performing the above steps, I can now open any png/jpg/gif/etc file, as well as start a new file.  I have no clue why it works or if my steps played any role in fixing it, but I thought it was worth sharing for others to try if they encounter a similar issue.  It could be either the firewall I was behind, or the permissions (I don't think Creative Cloud boots up running as administrator).  But I am in no position to say I know the exact resolution.  Hope this helps!

  • Photoshop Elements 6 won't open RAW with XMP file.

    Hi,
    I searched for an answer but, could not find an answer.
    I edited a RAW file with Photoshop Elements 6 (mac). I saved the file and closed the program. Next day I fire up PSE6 and open the same RAW file; the file is unedited. How can I open the RAW file with the edits I made the day before? I see the xmp file in finder.
    I'm still on the trial version. Camera is a Canon 50D. I can open and edit the RAW with out problem. When I start PSE6 Adobe update fails and gives me the options: Ignore,Relaunch,Send report to Apple.
    After that PSE opens for me
    Help me Obi Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope.
    Thanks.

    Are you hitting the save button? That is creating a DNG file someplace. If you just want to save your edits, that should happen automatically when you click Open or Done. If it doesn't, try going to your username>preferences folder and deleting the Adobe Camera Raw preferences.

    Older versions of Photoshop Elements will. Is this an oversight or part of what seems like a plan to "dumb down" Photoshop Elements?

  • Photoshop elements 9 won't open file

    When I try to open a file a message comes up saying:
    " Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid jpeg marker type is found"
    I can't open the file I was working on last night, but I can open the original image when I first scanned it in before doing anywork on it.  Please help so I don't lose my files again.

    Try this
    1) Click File->Open As
    2) Navigate to your file and in the file format dropdown choose Camera Raw. Click ok on dialog box of ACR. Do not worry as your file will not change due to this.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 won't open on new computer

    I recently purchased a new iMac and transferred all my software to it from my old computer.  Photoshop elements will not open.  The dialog box says "Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop elements Editor works with this version of OS X.  you may need to reinstall the application.  Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X."
    My version is 10.8.4.  The "Read Me" file says it requires 10.6 through 10.8. 
    So I attempted to uninstall it and reinstall.
    When I tried to uninstall I got a message that said it could not be uninstalled due to an error.  I followed the directions to restart and try again... and again.  Same message.  At the bottom of the message was another saying if that didn't work to use  a link to some Adobe "cleaner".  When I clicked to download the "cleaner" I got a message that I had to UNINSTALL the Elements program before using it.
    Are they trying to make me crazy?
    Next I tried to install Elements from the original disk and got this message:  "Installation to case-sensitive drives is not supported.  Please choose a different drive location to install."  Huh?
    I just want to do a photo project as a gift for my parents.  Can anybody help me with this technical odyssey?
    Many thanks.
