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 won't open. I have tried re-installing. I have windows pro 7

     
    Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    C: à Program Files à Adobe à Photoshop Elements 9
    Within the Photoshop elements 9 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (with the blue icon)
    Select that file and click Next.
    Then click Finish.
    You should now be able to launch by double clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen.

  • Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files

    Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files. I did a fresh install of Google Earth, opened it, saved a place, and saved a .kmz file. It reopens fine in Google Earth.
    When I try to open it in Photoshop, this message pops up:
    File Format Error
    This file is from a previous version of Google Earth or it is not a Google Earth file
    I get this message regardless of the following:
    - ps is closed and i right click the kmz and choose ps (rather than google earth) to open it
    - ps is open and i double click the kmz
    - ps is open and i choose file/open and select the kmz
    - ps is open and i have created and saved a new psd file, then choose 3D/New Layer from 3D File/ and select the kmz
    I have tried the usual remedies, change rwx permissions, repair permissions, delete prefs. No luck.
    Any thoughts? Software versions are below.
    Thanks.
    - Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0.4 x64 (doesn't work in x32 either)
    - Google Earth 6.0.3.2197
    - OS 10.6.8

    I was trying to see (since Photoshop Extended touts the ability to open kmz files) if I could open a 3D Google Earth file and edit it in Photoshop. A file like this for instance http://ecotope.org/anthromes/maps/. After more research I've learned that kmz is nothing more that a container format - you can change the extension to zip and see what's in it.
    I ran across this tidbit in the Photoshop CS3 Extended forum:
    Photoshop CS3 Extended supports the ability to import .kmz files created from Google Earth 4 or exported from Sketch-up in the Google Earth 4 format. Photoshop CS3 Extended cannot open Google Earth files. If you have a Google Earth file, you can convert it to a Google Earth 4 format with the free version of Sketch-up.
    So, theoretically if I could get a kmz into Google Earth 4 format, I could open it in Photoshop. But I haven't had any success importing a kmz or kml into SketchUp. Even just making a native sketchup file and trying to import that in psd gives a ram error.
    Probably I'm wishing for the moon.

  • 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.

  • Photoshop Elements won't open

    I've been using this computer in my workshop for simple things, mostly email, fb, etc. It has had Photoshop CS (very old, not sure what version) and Photoshop Elements 2.0 on it and both have been working fine. Just brought it into the house to use in the office after my slightly newer, but still old, iMac G5 died. I'm hoping to use it for a short time while figuring out what to do next regarding a newer computer. I've gotten it connected to printer and scanner with a bit of trouble due to trying to find old drivers again. That's really all I'm aware of having changed. Now suddenly PE and P CS won't open. I reinstalled PE (which is what I use most); no change. It starts to open, then just quits. I've clicked on "report" and see the following:
    Date/Time:      2012-04-11 00:02:41.529 -0400
    OS Version:     10.4.11 (Build 8S165)

    Parent:  WindowServer [66]

    Of course there's lots more but that's the part with the bad words like "bad access" and "invalid address" and such. I'm hoping someone can tell me what is going on; perhaps you know what the above means? Or maybe there is some other clue here? I'd be grateful. Thanks for reading.

    PS Just to be clear, no major changes in software; I have been running both Photoshop programs on this computer, with OS 10.4.11, since getting the computer as a hand-me-down a couple of months ago. I did update OS, Safari, and a few other things at that time, as well as maxing the memory, deleting many programs and files I'll never use, etc. Installed PE 2.0 at that time. CS was already on it. Both have worked just fine. When I reinstalled PE the installer said it had installed properly.

    Well, just in case someone else checks in here with the same problem. Got both programs working just fine again. I hunted up other threads on the same topic; several had posts suggesting trashing certain plug-ins and/or prefs. I'd tell you exactly what but I did a bunch and not sure which solved it. With Photoshop CS 8.0, I deleted plist in user library; no change; then deleted twain plug-in, now it opens just fine. I don't exactly comprehend why, but so far so good. If I have any other useful observations I will post them.
    Judy
    PS I ordered a PRAM battery and will replace that anyway, just because I'm certain it is quite old; perhaps this will prevent other problems popping up. I need to get a bit more use out of this nice old machine!

  • My free trial download of photoshop elements won't open because of missing elements. I've already installed twice. What can I do?

    I downloaded the free trial of Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and now it won't open because it says there are "...missing files. Please reinstall."  I've already downloaded it twice and it still didn't fix it. Is there anything I can do to fix it? TIA.

    SkylaNicole what is the specific error which you are receiving when trying to open Photoshop Elements?

  • Please help - Photoshop Elements won't open

    Hi,
    I just bought photoshop elements, installed it and everything was fine.  Like a dope, I downloaded a graphic from a website, and tons of adware/malware was also loaded on my computer.  I couldn't stand all the popups and junk, so i used the Dell Restore to restore the computer to the point right before I loaded photoshop.  After that was done, I reloaded photoshop, and now I can't get in to the program.  (The popups went away.) The opening screen comes up, I choose "photo editor" instead of "organize"...the moving ribbon comes up as if it was thinking, and then it goes away and the opening screen stays there.  No error messages.  If I choose Organize, I can get in to the photo organizing section with no problem.
    I'm running Windows 7.  I tried uninstalling photoshop, reinstalling it, uninstalling it, ran the cc cleaner, reinstalled it, uninstalled it and removed the preferences, rebooted a million times, uninstalled and reinstalled again....I still can't get in.  If I click on a .psd file the opening screen comes up and it sill just sits there.  I went into Organize and loaded an update, that went fine, but still can't get in to photoshop.  I can't do the restore to an earlier date, since I installed and uninstalled the program so many times, I lost that ability.
    I see a lot of people asking the same question in these forums, but I don't see any answers.  Can anyone help?  I appreciate any assistance you can give me!  I was so excited to use the program, and now it seems like I'll be shut out until I get a new computer, which is not going to happen soon!
    Thank you,
    Holly

    Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down Ctrl+alt+shift. Keep those keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • Photoshop CS5 won't open CR2 files. Running OS X 10.10.1 and camera raw version 6.7.1

    Photoshop CS5.1 will not open CR2 files. I am running OS X 10.10.1 and adobe photoshop camera raw 6.7.1.  It was working fine when I had OS X Mavericks. It wasn't until I updated to Yosemite that the problem started.

    Hello,
    I had recently bought an iMac but I'm unable to open cr2 files when I'm trying to do a double click(or doing a preview) to open in Yosemite. Although I can open them in Lightroom 5.7 and could not in CS6(understand I need to upgrade it). I know there should be a way to open cr2 files by directly double clicking on the image, but as of now I'm unable to find in the net.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Photoshop CS4 won't open RAW files

    Photoshop CS4 will not open RAW (.CR2) files. I have tried what is listed on Adobe's website (checking versions, uninstalling, reinstalling). Nothing has worked. It still gives me the error message: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
    I am using CS4 on a 10.6.6 Mac OS with a Canon Rebel XS. I currently have Camera Raw 5.7 installed.
    Does anyone have any answers ?
    Thank you,

    Just updated camera raw in photoshop 5 to 6.6 on a mac pro running 10.6.8 os wont open a raw file and program freezes and must force quit to close. Lightroom update has problems as well. Don't recommend updating to either

    Photoshop CS5, 12.0.4 x64
    2.93 GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon Mac Pro
    8GB 1066 MHz DDR3 RAM
    Photoshop is configured to open Raw, JPG & Tiff.
    Raw files in CR2 format from my Canon EOS 5D MarkII
    Applied the Camera Raw 6.6 update last night. There were no problems noted during the update. Did not realize until later that the files would not open any more - I was working with PSD files created several days before. I forwarded several crash reports to Apple after I force closed Photoshop several times. When I opened one of the three files Photoshop would not exactly freeze but the whole system became slow - the force-close menu took a while to display after I right-clicked the icon in the dock. If I dragged and dropped one of the three into the dock icon, Photoshop would open with usual audible disk sounds but the sounds stopped quickly and the program was frozen.
    I recovered using suggestions from the forum, used Time Machine to return Photoshop, Bridge and the Adobe folder in the path /Library/Application Support/Adobe/ to the state before the update. The Camera Raw Plug-in is now at 6.5 and I can open RAW files again.
     

  • Photoshop CC won't open any files

    I just installed PS CC on a clean machine, did nothing else, no moving of files or plugins.  No Adobe products on the PC before this install.  And I am unable to open any files in PS, that include opening a new untitled document.  Nothing ever opens.  What is going ON!?  Fresh installation from Creative Cloud app tool.
    System is Windows 8.1, no previous Adobe products on this box.  Not impressed with Creative Cloud if this is how the tools work right out of the gate.  Staff, any suggestions?

    PS CS6 had the same problems initially.  I did a restart of the system and now it seems to be working.  So I'd make sure you tell people if they install or reinstall, try a system reboot before suggesting they start killing apps.  I think that's a red herring.
    The symptoms and sequence of work-around's I had were the following, which might help in understanding what was going wrong.  Note, only PS seems to be affected as all other CC apps I tried successfully opened and created their file types.
    Install several apps via Creative Cloud app (PS, AI, etc)
    Launch PS CC (and PS CC64)
    Would get an error dialog during launch about a defective existing monitor color profile (choosing 'Ignore' or 'Use' made no difference).
    Try to create new file (File\New).
    On first attempt you get the New Dialog UI.  Select any choices, doesn't seem to matter, none resulted in a successful New Untitled windows opening.
    On second attempt of File\New you get no New Dialog UI.
    Try to open any existing image file on my system (any format), via File menu, or drag drop.  Result is nothing, no document window opens.  No errors reported by app.  Just silent failure.
    Uninstall PS CC. NOTE Creative Cloud app doesn't provide an uninstall option, must be done by system Control Panel.
    Attempt to reinstall PS CC via Creative Cloud app, but could not because it didn't update as 'uninstalled'.  Still listed PS CC as an installed app. ??
    Went to Adobe site to CC Download center to initiate new install from there, but that didn't help either because it launches Creative Cloud app which still thought PS CC was already installed.
    Chose PS CS6 instead so I could at least install something PS.
    Test new install of PS CS6, all the same bug behavior as with PS CC.  Identical to experience with PS CC.
    Restart PC.  PS CS6 works fine now. 
    Not going to try to reinstall PS CC because I just don't trust this stuff now.  Will stay with PS CS6 because its now working.
    Hope this helps you guys.  I see a lot of people in the forums complaining about various similar issues with opening files.  Something you really should address.

  • Photoshop elements won't switch to the editor workspace from the organizer.

    I can't edit more than one photograph per session when using Photoshop Elements 10.
    When I first open up the organizer, I can select a photograph for editing and send it to the editing workspace.
    However, when I try to edit a second photograph in the session, the editing workspace won't load.  Even if I try closing Photoshop Elements altogether and reopening it, the editing workspace still won't load. 
    The only way to get the editing workspace to load again is to shut down my computer completely.
    This has only started recently, and I am unaware of doing anything to cause this problem.
    Has anybody come across this problem and how did they solve it?

    Try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer and Editor. You can then launch the programs directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
    On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
    To launch, try right-clicking on the new desktop icons and choose “Run As Administrator” which often improves stability.
    Then make a direct shortcut for the Editor in a similar manner.
    On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
    N.B. navigate to Program Files on 32 bit systems.

  • Elements won't open when trying to edit from Lightroom

    I was trying to move two photos from Lightroom to Elements to edit.  I click on the photos, tell it to edit in Elements and it goes thru the process, says complete, but Elements will not open????  I recently changed the default editor to CS5 with the alternate as Elements.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Oops, answered my own question.  Seems when I set up preferences, I goofed and somehow didn't get the correct app.  Sorry

  • Photoshop CC won't open JPG files, Windows 7 64-bit SP1. I get no error message at all. Very annoying.

    I get the SAME behavior on my laptop. This happens with Bridge also. My desktop and laptop are both Core i7 3d gen machines. I had to resort to GIMP to get some work done. I tried updating  to the latest PS CC but it failed to update with error U44M1P7. Any ideas if the update will fix this and I should keep trying to get it installed?

    The error message means a Photoshop File is corrupt you need to re-install Photoshop, You can do that right on top of your current install. That will back level CC to 14.0. When you the use CC ment Help>Updates it should be updated to 14.2.1 and all you add ons a r activation will still be intact. Download CC direct installer follow the download instruction else you will be denied access.  Download New Adobe CC Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant/Manager) | ProDesignTools
