Photoshop Elements 9 over taking other files

Hey,
There are some programs that have been "over taken" by my photoshop. For example if I try to open that file, photoshop comes up instead of the program. I've unistalled Photoshop, which fixes the problem, but I want my photoshop and the other programs. Any help would be aprecciated!

To change which program starts when you double-click a file, follow these steps:
Open Windows Explorer by right-clicking the Start button, and then click Explore.
Click a folder that contains a file of the type that you want Windows to open in a program that you select.
Right-click the file and, depending on the programs installed on your computer, complete one of the following steps:
Click Open With to choose the program that you want.
Point to Open With, and then click Choose Program to choose the program that you want.
The Open With dialog box is displayed. Use one of the following methods to select the program that you want to use for this file type:
In the Programs list, click the program that you want to use.
Click Browse, locate and then click the program that you want to use, and then click Open.
Click Look for the appropriate program on the Web to browse the Internet for the program that you want to use.
Click to select the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box if it is not selected.
Click OK.

Had Photoshop Elements 12 on my other Mac that recently got smashed, new one has no CD drive. How do I install Elements with my product key? Purchasing an external CD drive is not an option at this time after forking over the 2500 for the new Mac...

My new Photoshop Elements 12 has a RAW file plug-in, but when I try OPEN to select a photograph, there are only generic icons instead of pictures-- I can't tell one photograph from another! How can I fix this so I can tell which photograph I want to open?

The first thing I did was UPDATE. I have all the latest updates available (according to the updater). The Camera Raw Plug-in says it is version 8.0.
The RAW files are from a Canon T3i. It's a very common camera, I can't believe it wouldn't be supported.

I created a photo book in Photoshop elements 11 that contains png files with the invisible backgrounds. When I export the book to a jpg or a pdf, the png files appear with white backgrounds.

jpg and pdf formats don't support transparency. You need to use a format such as tif, png or psd that does.

Can Photoshop Elements version 13 handle raw files from Canon camera 7D mark 2? Where can I read about it on Adobe web site?

I found an Adobe web site note that raw plug-in version 8.7 will support Canon 7D mark 2, but is not included in Elements version 11.

Photoshop Elements 12 and old pdd files

Does Photoshop Elements 12 convert pdd files to jpeg??? I have a whole CD full of old family photos that were scanned in .pdd format and now I can't open them. Will upgrading from Elements 2.0 to 12 solve my problem?

Photoshop elements 12 should open the photodeluxe files.
Below are two .pdd files saved from photodeluxe 1 on my mac OS 7.6.1
Opened in pse 12 on windows 7
Probably the reason your photoshop elements 2 won't work on windows 8 is the hard drive is bigger than 1 TB and pse 2 can't read hard drives (free space)
over 1 TB.

Photoshop Elements won't create a file, edit a file or save a file...

Hello all,
I just bought an Epson 600 scanner which came with a copy of Photoshop Elements (v7, but that's another question for another day). Was working fine for awhile (a few weeks) but now I'm unable to edit any files. This is on an Intel Mac Pro running Windows 7 (natively, not in VMWare) with 8 cores and 8 GB of RAM and terabytes of free disk space.
Here's a sample sequence of events:
1) Launch PE
     - Get selection screen for organize, Edit, Create, Share.
2) Select Edit
     - Launches editing workspace normally
3) Click File->Open
     - Get the file browser window with thumbnails (standard windows stuff)
4) Click a TIF file (or a JPG file) and click Open
     - File browser window closes and I'm taken back to the editing view but there's no picture. No sign that it did anything (all the menus that are greyed out when the editing screen is empty are still grey etc - including the File Save menu option)
5) Try to drag a file into the editing workbench from windows explorer (either a TIF file or a JPG)
     - Same behavior - switches back to the workbench, but everything is still greyed out and the file isn't there.
6) Try to create a new file
7) Click File->New
     - New file dialog pops up asking me to name and size it
8) Give it a random name and leave it at the default 6x4x300dpi and click OK
     - New file dialog goes away and returns me to the editing canvas, but it's still blank and all the menus remain greyed out
I get the exact same behavior if I try "Open As" or "Open recently edited files" etc
I AM running Symantec anti-virus and I've noticed some people mentioning that that can cause issues for Adobe, but turning it off really isn't an option. So if there's some rule I need to set up to allow some background process to talk, that's fine but I can't just disable it to use PE.
Is there any debugging log kept somewhere? (I suppose I could check this site more thoroughly for that info)
Any help or suggestions would be most welcome!
Thanks,
Jason

Try resetting the PSE preferences by
   1. Close Elements.
   2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
   3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
try and let me know your comments.

In Photoshop Elements 8-I want the file name to show when viewing Thumbnails and not just dates.

In Photoshop Elements 8 i want to see the file names under the pictures when viewing thumbnails not just the date. Is this possible?

Anyway, if it's the organizer look under the View menu to enable the data that is shown under the thumbnails.

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 support .jpg file enlargements

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 allow you to enlarge .jpg files?

Explain exactly what you mean by distorting?
If you mean that the resized image is looking 'squashed' or 'stretched' that means you are resizing in a different ratio to your original. No photo editing software will allow you to resize to a different ratio of Height/Width without distortion.
Example:
Original Image - 6 x 4, ratio 1.5:1
Resized image - 7 x 5, ratio 1.4:1 - this will be slightly distorted.
Resized image - 10 x 8, ratio 1.25:1 - this will be significantly distorted.
If this is your problem then use the crop tool, entering your desired final height/width dimensions. You will lose either some of the top/bottom or left/right depending on how you crop and whee you drag the crop mask, but the end result will not be distorted.
If you mean that you resize the image and it starts to look blurry and edges have the jaggies then there is just not enough detail in the original to support the level of enlargement you are looking for. I don't recall the resizing algorithms used in PSE4 but I don't think they were terribly sophisticated - you MIGHT get better results by performing many incremental enlargements of 10% at a time, this often gives a smoother result.

How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor-..my files convert to jpegs

How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor. I have a MacBook. I use the iPhoto and move the files I want to work on into elements, but it converts the raw files into jpeg files.
Thanks for your help!!!

Are you opening the image directly from iPhoto? Right click & choose Edit in >> Photoshop Elements Editor
This link is old but gives information on set up. It relates to PSE11 but the principle is the same. In iPhoto prefs you navigate to the editor application in the support files folder. Start from Finder by holding down the Alt (Optn key) and choosing Library.

Photoshop Elements 3.0 Back-Up - File Name Change

I currently run Photoshop Elements 3.0. When I back-up the catalog from within Photoshop, the file names are changed (i.e 100_2424.JPG to BO00012). All of my Premiere Elements 7 projects point to the original file name. If I ever lost that original JPG file, the back-up file would be recovered, but would not be recognized by Premeiere Elements, and thus not be found. Why does the file name change after back-up? How can I retain the original file name during back-up? Thanks.

Once you have taken the backup, all the files are renamed as you mentioned in the post. Its only when you restore the catalog through File->Restore, the files are restored by the original name.

Photoshop Elements no longer find the files in my Nikon D80

Photoshop Elements 7 Crashes When Peak Files Are Generated

Have a PC with 80g HD, Pentium 4, 2g (400hz) RAM running Windows XP. PSE7 generates peak files each time project is opened. When blue bar at bottom right of screen reaches 100%, Elements 7 freezes and must be shut down using Windows task manager.
I have copied the file from 340g ext. HD back to C drive (the location of Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 program) and this has not resolved the problem.
I note that this appears to have been a common problem since 2006 (earlier versions of Photoshop) with Adobe.
Can anyone help.
Regards

Have taken screen shot but Forum site will not allow upload of 1.8mb image even though the initial message states "Image will be scaled to fit 2mb limit". Have edited shot to show bottom right of screen only (700kb) and scanned to PDF (895kb) but still will not accept images!!!
In the PRE 7 application the message beside the blue progression bar is "Generating Peak Files For ......" . When the progression bar reaches 100%, the program freezes.
Any suggestions
