Photoshop Elements 9 is messed up.

For some reason, Photoshop Elements 9 is messed up when it comes to the tools. I click on the hand and I get 3 hands, not just one. Any other tools I seem to click on comes out with 3 of them in a row, not just one. I click on the crop symbol and I get 3 crop symbols in a row plus the same for most of the other tools. I tried some previous instructions but they didn't work. Do I have to re buy PSE 9 all over again ? I have quite a selection of Adobe products but I've never seen anything like this. I already uninstalled and reinstalled and it didn't do a bit of good.  HELP !

Dear Barbara B.  Thank you very much for your response. I only wish I was a bit more technology minded so I could fathom many of the responses. I am a photographer and use quite a number of PSE program in my work such as PSE 7 PSE 8, PSE 9 and PSE 11 in addition to CS 5.
About a week ago, I opened PSE 9 to make image adjustments and that was when I saw that the cursor if you will, in PSE was messed up. For example, when I clicked on the hand I didn't get just one hand on the screen but 3 of them, one next to another. When I clicked on the crop tool, I didn't get the crop symbol but something like 3 circles, one next to another.  When I clicked on the move tool, I didn't get anything on the screen.  It was like some of the tools were not able to be used.
I reinstalled PSE 3 times thus far with no solution. I don't know if I have to buy another new PSE 9. So this is where I sit presently. I use PSE 11 with no problems, CS 5 with no problems. Each of the programs contain certain different tools that do a different thing on images but nothing like this.  Nobody really seems to have encountered anything like this nor can they specifically tell me what to do to correct it.
Any advice or direction you could supply would be most appreciated.  There are no viruses I am aware of. The PSE 9 app did not experience a crash that I am aware of.  At this point, it appears that the only choice I have is to shut PSE 9 and go on with another app.
Thank you for your time.

  • The tools on Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 seemed to have frozen. The crop symbol is 3 of the symbols nest to each other. The hand move tool is not one hand but 3 next to each other. Other tools won't work at all. Really nice!

    Ya, okay ! I use a number of PSE programs, one of which is PSE 9. The tools for some reason seem to have frozen. When I use the move tool I don't get just one hand but 3 hand symbols all next to each other. Same thing with the crop tool, I don't get one symbol but 3 all next to each other. There are a couple of tools that just don't work at all.  It's like the PSE 9 got hit with some virus or sorts. Oh well, live and learn.  Trying to get through to tech service is next to impossible.

    Have you seen this other thread you started about this problem?

    It would be less confusing if you only posted this question once, not three times:
    HOW DO I RESET ALL THE TOOLS IN PSE 9 ? THE CURSOR IS REALLY MESSED UP AND DOES NOT WORK WITH THE TOOLS. I TOUCH THE HAND AND I GET 3 HANDS, I TRY TO USE THE CROP AND I GET 3 SMALL CIRCLES.  THE CURSOR IS REALLY MESSED UP. DO I HAVE TO GET ANOTHER PSE 9 ?

    I own both Photoshop Elements and Photoshop (the original editor).  I find the elements editor to be too cumbersome to use and would just like to edit using Photoshop.  When I try to install Photoshop as a secondary editor in elements I get an error message that I don't need to this because it is already supported on the edit menu and task bar.  I can not find any way to send images to Photoshop for editing - all I can do is send them to elements editor or the premier editor.  Can someone tell me how to send them to Photoshop?  Thanks!

    Hi,
    The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
    You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.

  • Using Photoshop elements 11 on a PC, when I put new photo on screen to edit the background goes to black which messes me up when making a thumbnail that has black background.  How do I get the background to white as it was originally?

    Using Adobe photoshop elements 11 on a PC.  When I put a photo up to edit the background on the page goes black.  I need it to go back to white to do a thumbnail that has black background so I can see it.  How do I do that.  It used to be white on the background.  Don't know how I got it all black. Can you help?

    If you mean by "background" the blank work area that presents when you open the Editor, then right click on it and reset to white.
    If I have this wrong, please rephrase your inquiry.

  • Mess caused by upgrading to Photoshop Elements 13

    I have just upgraded from Photoshop Elements 12 to Photoshop Elements 13 via download.  I am not impressed.  First I had to or was directed to use a download manager of Japanese name!  With 50Mb cable broadband I don't need this, but the alternative seemed to have 2 files.  So I went with the provided download manager.  But this has put a folder on the Desktop - bit messy in my opinion.  Fortunately after download it is not needed to run 13.  (But why didn't the installation delete or make it clearer that you could put it else where??).  I now have Photoshop Elements 13 installed and it runs fine.  BUT I also have Photoshop Elements 12 which also runs.  There is not point in having 2 versions on this PC.  But when I look in the Control Panel un-install route I can only see Elements 13.  I can't find or see Photoshop Elements 12 listed, but this older version is present and I can find all its folders on the C directory program files area!! So how can I easily and cleanly remove Photoshop Elements 13?

    Thanks Angryuk.  I have sent an Email to the CEO.  Here is what I sent.  It might encourage other Adobe users to push for better and more professional support even if the app PSE12 is only one behind!!!
    Dear Sir
    I was a regular home user of Photoshop Elements 12(PSE12) having purchased it by upgrade on
    7 Oct 2013 (S/No: 1057-1302-7331-8029-4210-6039).  Then when I was powering up this application it said that Photoshop Elements 13 (PSE13) was available for upgrade on special offer by download.  So I purchased PSE13 on 13 Oct, 2014 (S/No: 1057-1314-3452-2773-6251-9919)
    I realise that most software suppliers will not support old versions so on important packages such as PSE I always upgrade so that I am on the latest version.  (Also means I am a faithful customer of Adobe).  Most software companies will support the last issued version even though they have just upgraded.  They will eventually pull the plug but not for a short period following an upgrade/re-issue of software! (But Adobe doesn’t appear to follow this convention from my Help Web CHAT calls as you will see).
    When I installed PSE13, I finished up with both PSE12 & PSE13 on my PC, both fully working.  However I couldn’t see the point in having both on my PC.  After if you only support PSE13 better to be on that. If there are any bugs in the new software, I will trust that a company of Adobe reputation will issue fixes in due course.
    So I went to un-install PSE12 via the correct Windows Control Panel and un-install provided to un-install software cleanly.  But only PSE13 appeared but no PSE12, even though it is a fully running application.  So I used your Adobe Web Chat connection as I do have an Adobe account.  The first Chat was as follows:  (Your case number: 0185994907);Chat start time: Oct 13, 2014 7:55:56 AM; EST; Chat end time: Oct 13, 2014 8:46:33 AM EST; Duration (actual chatting time): 00:50:37; Operator: Rashmi. Brief details of the call: Rashmi: In that case we need to uninstall it manually ,
    Graham Marriott: Do you not have a manual un-install program that I can download. Many  software companies have a program you can run to remove and clean off their programs!!
    Rashmi: No we do not have any program Rashmi: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/manually-remove-photoshop-elements-12.html (Tech note to manually remove PSE12).  I tried this but I cannot delete the PSE12 folder because it says in that it is use.  But I have stopped all Adobe services.  So used Web Chat for second time.
    Chat start time: Oct 13, 2014 9:12:10 AM EST; Chat end time: Oct 13, 2014 10:41:06 AM EST
    Duration (actual chatting time): 01:28:55; Operator: Honey Razdan.  Brief overview is that Honey took control of my PC (Honey Razdan: Please visit my virtual room at: so that I can check your computer to uninstall PSE 12.  But she couldn’t un-install PSE12 and it was taking ages for to delete even one folder!  The connection became broke to this chat. 
    So I tried again: Chat start time: Oct 13, 2014 11:06:07 AM EST; Chat end time: Oct 13, 2014 11:25:25 AM EST; Duration (actual chatting time): 00:19:17; Operator: Aditya Jha; Aditya Jha :        But I can help you only with Elements 13 products; Aditya Jha :    We do have people on forums to help you.
    So I spent a whole afternoon (3.5 hours on chat itself) to try and solve this problem. The message I get from Adobe is that you do not support PSE12 but only PSE13 which you have only just issued. Rather than provide a professional support on a just upgraded version you pass the responsibility to the Adobe Forum to try and help me solve the problem.  It is true that most Forums are brilliant with many fine engineers.   But I feel a company like Adobe should provide good technical support and I don’t feel that is what I am receiving.  Your graphic products in comparison to other similar products are expensive.  Although I recognise that they are high quality and functionality.  But this whole experience has left me somewhat disillusioned with Adobe.  I feel that I will never be able to delete PSE12 even though I am ex IT engineer and quite capable of administrating a PC.  I look forward to a reply from Adobe that will restore my confidence not just in your products but in the service you provide.

    I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
    I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
    I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
    After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
    “Welcome to Aperture 3.2
    Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
    Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
    Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
    Current Library Location:
    Jadzia (home)   -----Pictures------Aperture Library
                                                      QUIT             UPGRADE”
    I have heard horror stories  about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
    So here is my dilemma.  I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
    Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?

    Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop.  Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
    You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file.  For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto. 
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • Wrong Photoshop Elements catalog in iTunes to sync with iPhone

    Hi,
    I am using windows XP, latestversion of iTunes and Photoshop Elements 5 (PSE5).
    I use several catalogs, one per each company I work for, and one entirely for personal pictures. The personal pictures catalog is the one I want to have automatically synchronized with iPhone, however, even though it is the "active" catalog that opens by default in Photoshop Elements, iTunes detects an other catalog and I want to change this so iTunes refers to the correct catalog. I tried restarting the PC after loading the desired catalog in PSE5 and closing it, and iTunes still refers to one of my work catalogs that I don't wish to use.
    Any clue how to do this.
    I could of course, have iTunes point to a specific folder, export the images from my personal catalog to that specific folder and do so every time I need to add pictures to my iPhone. This involves doing the image export and transfer manually every time, instead of automatically having the desired images added to the iPhone during sync, after they were tagged in PSE5 with the appropriate tag.
    Thanks!

    Hi there.
    Thanks for the response. Just to clarify, what is this and where can I find it? Finder Help had nothing to say about it, and Google just led me to this page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1865
    which strongly recommended me not to mess with it.
    I really do need to make this old email account go away, I just need to make sure that I don't make the problem worse in the process. Thanks in advance for any help, just want to be extra careful here.

  • DOWNLOADING FROM iPHONE 3GS TO PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 8 (PC)

    HI, Please Please Please can anybody help me? I am ABSOLUTELY desperate for an answer!!! I have an iPhone 3Gs and Photoshop Elements 8 and work on a PC running Windows Vista (32). I used to run all the same but with Photoshop Elements Version 5. Everything used to work PERFECTLY till suddenly just out of the blue one day, I plugged my iPhone into my computer and my photos did not automatically download into Photoshop and I cannot / did not have a clue why? I do NOT recall changing ANY settings anywhere on my phone or my computer? Anyway, I messed around for hours trying to fix it but to NO avail? So, I  went to the Apple store and they could NOT figure out why, but told me that I needed to reinstall ITunes and MAYBE update Photoshop Elements 5 to 8, which I have done, but it STILL does not download ANY photos from my iPhone to my computer and I am now TOTALLY desperate as my iPhone is nearly FULL with photos and if I cant figure it out soon, I'm gonna have to delete all my photos from my phone! PLEASE HELP ME URGENTLY! Thanks Donna

    Hi,
    Thanks SO MUCH for your response!  In reply to your questions,
    1.     Can you please tell what  error are you getting?     -                       
            Absolutely None! Its as though my phone is not plugged in at all! I only know that its plugged in because I see it in ITunes as "Donna's iPhone"                 other than that it is not recognized anywhere in/on my computer, so I am not even able to go into Photoshop Elements because when I manually try
            to download the photos through Elements, it does not recognize my iPhone as plugged in!
    2.     Have you ever  modified/corrected any image from the iPhone  itself?
            No! All I've ever done is taken my photo's and then tried to download them directly from my iPhone onto my computer!
    3.     Have you ever saved any image from en email attachment  configured on the iPhone?
            No, there are only photos saved in a folder that was made as a default folder directly by "Apple" on the iPhone to store my photos on when I take
            the photo's and they then go directly into "that" folder that "Apple" created before I got the phone. And then they used to automatically download
            from"that" folder directly into my "pictures" folder onto my computer! Other than that I have not saved any other pictures onto my iPhone EXCEPT
            when Elements was working, and it did download my pictures from my phone, I chose about 250 pictures from my computer and sent those to my
            iPhone. My iPhone then created a seperate folder and put those pictures that I transferred from my computer into that folder. But Elements still
            worked fine after that and I had no problems for about a year after that? But no, I've never saved any received email pics at all!
    Hope that that helps you be able to sort out this excessive mystery for / with me!
    Kindest regards

  • How can I get Photoshop Elements to import photos that it wrongly indicates are wrong or in catalog?

    Had 17,000 photos on harddrive before installing Photoshop Elements 11 today. Had them well organized in a number of folders under My Pictures. PS found and imported only 467 photos. I tried Search, Browse, and import Files; was able to highlight folders and individual photo files. When I clicked Get Media, it processed for 20 seconds and came back with message that "Files are not in correct format or are already in the catalog." In fact, they are in the correct format (jpg - able to easily view with other programs) and they are NOT visible in the catalog. I went into Control Panel and enabled the Watch service, listed all of the files that PS had not imported from, and still cannot show more than 467 of my photos. Very frustrating, any suggestions? Running Win 7 on 6-months old Sony that plays Blue-Ray, with 8 GB RAM and quad core Intel processors.

    This forum is amazing - thanks to all who responded over the weekend. For future users, some replies I found helpful: 1. allow a lot of time for the cataloging process. I had not realized it would be such a slow and incremental process but a day later it is continuing to add to the catalog - am now up to a couple thousand in the catalog, 2. turning off Organize and Stack visually-similar, and the corrective functions during the initial process speeds things up, 3. go into Control Panel, Administrative, Services and activate the Photoshop Elements watch function as soon as you install Elements, 4. it was helpful to repair/optimize, and 5. if you realize it is really messed up, uninstalling Elements and re-installing may work better than lots of little tweaks and fixes. Now if I can just figure out how to get photos ordered by actual date taken rather than random future dates that my camera or previous version of Elements 8 apparently assigned....

    You have a heap of work to do before you can reinstall it. NEVER try to get rid of PSE by putting it in the trash. You must use the uninstaller. By attempting to trash it you just made a big old mess for yourself.
    You will need to download and run this:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html
    Then go through your hard drive and manually dig out and trash all the bits you can find. Pay special attention to the library at the top of your hard drive>Application Support>Adobe.
    Once you successfully get that cleaned up, you can try reinstalling.
    You can download PSE 11 here, but you must follow the Very Important Instructions exactly, even when they don't seem to make much sense, or it won't work:

I

    finally getting back to this project---adobe starter edition 3.2 is on a windows XP computer
    ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 is on our Windows 8.1 computer.
    error messages--- had to give up trying to convert---I copied all our pictures to our windows 7 laptop and I installed adobe photoshop elements 12 (my bought program)
    I wanted to try to convert there first. also I copied our catalog to this computer also. Everything was working fine I could see the collections just as they where on the XP computer.
    then I tried to convert on the laptop. I believe the error said something about corrupt file, so I gave up that day. Next day I tried to open ADOBE STARTER EDITION 3.2  and it wanted an unlock code, no such code exists. and my copy of Elements 12 turned into a trial version which has expired. So I am a little hesitant to try to convert on the XP  computer and mess up the existing catalog,
    unless there is a fool proof way. I have tried manually making collections/ albums on Windows 8.1 and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12  and coping pictures into the new albums. sloooow!!
    I probably have about 4500 pictures and 150 collections/ albums to go. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Photoshop Elements 6 Freezing, I need help, please.

    I got the program along with the Wacom Tablet I got, not too long back.
    It worked for a while, but then started freezing at random moments.
    But now, I can never open it without it freezing about 30 seconds after launch.
    I checked the FAQ's and Trouble-Shooting section, but everything seems in order.
    I just updated my Mac (10.5.6) and I have high enough Ram.
    It's not the disk and I haven't messed with the folder it came in since I installed it.
    (Didn't touch it then either)
    Oh, and I have updated the program itself to the latest udate I can get.
    The only thing I haven't tryed is Uninstall and reinstall it.
    This program was really helpful when I could use it, and I would love to be able to use it again.
    Thanks for the help.

    >(10.5.6)
    Why? Why not 10.5.8?
    In any case, go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 settings
    Opera preferences (if you have it)
    Repair permissions and try again. If it still crashes to go Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 6>Plug-ins>import/export and delete the adobe TWAIN driver (note that if you have an epson scanner it may not work properly after doing this).

  • Trouble with brushes in photoshop elements 7.0

    My photoshop elements 7.0 worked perfectly fine until about a week ago, when all of my brushes (plug-ins and defaults) started acting strange. The image below shows what it looks like.
    I'm working with only one layer here (the background), using the same hard "brush" from the defaults for both the erasor and the brush (the erasor is working normally and that's why i'm using it to compare with the brushstroke). There shouldn't be a difference between the stroke with the brush and the erasor, and there wouldn't have been a difference if i did this a week ago, but still, as you can see, something is not right here... It hasn't got anything to do with the layer opacity or the opacity of the brush/erasor, because they are all set to 100%. I did notice, however, that the first time this problem appeared, the space between the brushmarkings in the brushstroke was set to 25% in the brush settings. Now, everytime i restart the program, this brushsetting seem to be the new default setting for all of my brushes! I can't draw like i'm used to anymore because all of my brushes are so messed up. Does anyone know what's the problem with my photoshop brushes?

    Hi,
    Your brush flow isn't set to 100%.
    Select the brush as the tool then press and hold in the alt key (opt if on mac). While the alt (opt) key held in, press the 0 (zero) key. Your brush flow should now be set at 100% flow.
    Reason: Brush flow is available as an option in Photoshop. In Elements, the option is not shown on the options bar but the function is still present and can be called up using the shortcut keys...brush tool + alt (opt) + number key. This setting is sticky...whatever flow rate you set with the shortcut acts as default for all brushes and is considered a user preference for all sessions.
    Here's a video about the this undocumented shortcut:

  • Colour issue with 'Save for Web' - Photoshop Elements 6 (Mac)

    Cross posted here, but no answer so far. Sorry for cross posting. For me, this is urgent, but I know it's not for anyone else, so apologies for putting 'urgent'.
    http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/images-graphic-design-digital-photography/150670-colour-i ssue-save-web-photoshop-elements-6-a.html#post840419
    This is a similar issue to this:
    Save for web color issue
    Except the user who posted the above was using photoshop cs3, and I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.
    When I work on a photo, I get it just right, then go to Save for Web, and the original it previews is loads lighter than the orginal I was working on in the first place. See 'Picture 1' attachment.
    I have changed the colour settings on the Save for Web options - I've chosen each one in turn, and none fix the problem.
    There seems to be no similar option in PSE6 to this that fixed it in CS3:
    IN the save for web box there is a small round button with an arrow in it (near the Done button).
    In the list when this button is pressed deselect Convert to sRGB
    I used to use PSE2 on a PC, and never had this problem. I didn't need to mess about with colour profiles or anything similar on the PC. The original was the original, not a washed out version of the original. Why spend ages getting the file just right, only for Save for Web to screw it up?
    Any advice to fix this would be much appreciated.

    I then tried the profile setting you suggested - but it's not an option:

    I tried 'remove profile' just in case that worked, but the same effect happens on Save for Web.
    Not sure what to try next!

  • I have a problem with Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer

    When I load images from my camera or a folder from e:\ drive into an existing or new e:\drive folder, Organizer catalogues them in an i:\ drive.
    I don't actually have an i:\ drive and when the images are "missing". Organizer starts a seach to try and reconnect the image and when I try to direct the reconnect back to e:\drive abd this does not work.
    My whole catalogue system is now a mess.
    I tried rebuilding the catalogue from scratch but the above problem continues (e:\ drive becomes i:\ drive in oeganizer) and the images cannot be found.
    Is this a bug with Elements 11 Organizer?
    Is there a fix from Adobe that I'm not aware of?
    Is this also a problem with Elements 12?
    Are there any other alternatives?
    I did not have this issue with eralier versions of Photoshop and to date 90 forum members have viewed this without suggesting a solution. 
    Thanks
