Photoshop elements not working

when i open photoshop elements, i have the option of new project open project or organize it doesnt matter what i choose when i click on any of them the program closes and does not open the desired action. i just installed this program in december and havent used it but twice.

Hi Adam014,
Which version of PSE you have on your system? Also your OS?
Are you sure that PSE is correctly installed on your system. Please check C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\ for the corresponding folders for Organizer and Editor.
Can you try running of these programs directly from inside?
If you have Win, please try running Organizer by double clicking this exe. -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (On a 32-bit machine, it would be Program Files). On MAC, try running Adobe Elements Organizer 10 from Applications directly.
Please let me know the result.
Thanks

  • New Mac: Why are CC and Photoshop Elements not working when Lightroom and Reader are fine

    Last week I changed computers (swapping an old Mac for a 13-in MacBook Pro Retina running OSX Yosemite 10.10.3. I copied all my data over to the new machine using Migration Assistant.
    All programs work fine (including my copy of Lightroom 3 and Reader XI). But my CC and Photoshop Elements 10 do not. I have tried uninstalling both, but whenever I try to reinstall PE10 from its disk or download it just stops almost at the end. I then I get an "initiation failed" message, along with a request to download the now defunct "Support Advisor" app!
    I cannot download Adobe Application Manager, or the CC desktop app either - for the former I get an "initiation failed" message, along with the "download Support Advisor" app" message again! For the latter I get a message saying "Adobe Creative Cloud Is Needed to Resolve this problem - however it is missing or damaged." Then I get a message and a link to download Creative Cloud. Then when I've downloaded it and I click on the installer... it runs for a bit and then I get the message again: "Adobe Creative Cloud Is Needed to Resolve this problem - however it is missing or damaged." And I get a prompt and link to download the CC app. Guess what happens next? And so it goes on. And on and on, in a tedious circle.
    This is incredibly annoying and frustrating as I have work to do! Anyone have any ideas what's happening?
    Cheers

    do not use migration to install adobe programs.
    you should uninstall and clean whatever you've done, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    then dl the cc desktop app to your new computer and use it to install your adobe cc programs, Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial
    if you have non-subscription adobe programs, use the installation files for them:

  • Photoshop Elements not working with Yosemite

    After upgrading OS to Yosemite I could not get Photoshop Elements 11 to work properly - sluggish operation and brushes not working.  I upgraded to Elements 13 but it gets sluggish as time passes and some of the filters don't work.  It is frustrating to say the least as I do lots of photo processing and it just takes too long now.  Can anybody help?

    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!

  • Photoshop Elements not working right after not using for several months?

    Have Photoelements #10 on this computer. Have been away, using #10 on another computer, now back and PhotoElements #10 is NOT working properly?

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    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.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.

    Hi Hardy Tasso,
    Are you seeing this problem since first launch of PSE13 after installation or recently?
    Please try:
    Keep Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys pressed while launching PSE13 Editor and click OK on the dialog that comes next.

  • Since 2012 I have Photoshop Elements always worked without any problem, however now the language is suddenly German how can this be changed, removed the program and re-installed, not working. Program is downloaded and updated via the apple app store?

    I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
    It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
    Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
    Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

  • Premiere Elements not working

    When starting, it reports Organiser Database missing or corrupt. When trying to create a new database, Adobe crashes and ends.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi AT,
    You mentioning the psa.prf file helped me in googling the steps you mentioned for other users on the forum, so thanks for that.
    Also your direct download link was helpful, as the package is not able to update from the help/update function.
    Any idea why the update functionality is not working properly?
    I still need another update for camera raw, for both photoshop and premiere. I found links for direct dowloads for versions 6.5 and 6.6. Also the direct links end in a crash, see attachment.
    Do you have suggestions?

    Great news. Great job in working through the details to get to the solution.
    I was waiting for more information from you so that I could give you version specific information on the how to.
    But you seemed to have found the paths needed without supplemental instructions.
    The two major troubleshooting tools that I would use when the Elements Organizer is involved
    a. delete the psa.prf file
    and/or
    b. create a new catalog.
    Best wishes as you move forward in your Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 projects.
    By the way, if you are not working from the 9.0.1 Update, good idea to do that.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4929
    You can do that update with the program closed....do not bother with Help Menu/Update for this update. Use the link instead.

  • Which adobe photoshop elements will work on osx 10.5.8 platform

    I bought photo shop elements 10 a couple of weeks ago and loaded it on to my computer which is Power Mac G5 running on OS X 10.5.8 Leopard. When I loaded the software on to the hard drive there seemed to be no problem. The file appeared as adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and included the sun flower icon.
    Point 1:
    When I open the file I have four additional icons (deploy - packages - payloads - Install) the install folder is red and has a no entry motif in white when you click this icon the massage comes up 'You can't open the application "Install" because its not supported on this architecture.
    Point 2:
    When I click on the sun flower icon Photoshop Elements 10 its takes me straight to Photoshop Elements 2 an old version that was transfered when I had to change the computer. If I click on the elements 2 icon it launches for a couple of seconds and an error message then comes on "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a programe error. Photoshop will now exit.
    I would be most grateful for your assistance. Mac user North Yorkshire England

    After Photoshop Elements quit working for the second time in three months, I uninstalled it and now cannot get it to reinstall from the disc. Nothing happens when I insert the disc. All I can do is look at the folders and files and see nothing that tells me how to start the installation. Clicking "open with Auto play" gives me irrelevant options, view photos, share, etc. I'm running Windows 8. This program has worked, although buggy, for the past year.

    reinstall by clicking setup on your disk or downloading and installing,

  • Will Photoshop Elements 10 work with Microsoft 8.1 operating system?

    When selecting the option e-mail from the Elements Organizer to share a picture, the program stops with a note from Elements Organizer stating they could not finish creating the e-mail message. I never experienced this problem when it was operating in my older computer running on Windows XP.  Will Photoshop Elements 10 work with Windows 8.1?

    Depends on what e-mail client you're using. I believe that for W8 you need to install the Windows 7 version of Windows Live Mail.

    Yes.

    However, the real issue is why the program is not working. Did you install anything recently?
    When you tried to re-install from the disk, did you shut off the antivirus program temporarily?
    Have you tried a system restore to a point in time when the program was working properly?

  • Can Photoshop Element 9 work with Lightroom 5?

    Can Photoshop Element 9 work with Photoshop Lightroom 5?

    Hi David_B,
    Thanks for your reply! I've installed PS many times (since version 3, I think), and nothing like this has ever happened. I use and teach PS and LR for a living. The tech person I spoke with told me it is not unusual to have this happen when upgrading to CC 2014.
    What happened is that PS CC2014 would not open the image in PS if I used the Photo>Edit In>PS 2014 command unless I used Photo>Edit In>Open as Smart Object. Once opened as a smart object, PS would not save the file. I think it said Error 2.
    The tech took control of my computer, removed PS and LR and all the associated files a few times. He told me I'd have to have a high level person help me, but they didn't call me, so I phoned in. After waiting an hour to get to the correct person (not a high level tech) he said he'd have to uninstall everything again and start over and that it would take over an hour. I don't have the time right now to fix it as I'm headed out of town until the end of the month to teach LR.
    In the meantime, LR works, but I'm using a trial version that expires in 30 days. It exports to PS ok, but I had to reload all my plug-ins, and apparently LR can't find Photomatix. LR is not installed in my usual applications folder - the tech put it on my system backup drive.
    My case number is: 185696477
    Thanks so much for your willingness to help!

    By the way, there is no mystery in that technology : for serious photography work (on calibrated and commonly large displays like 1920 * 1200) the best it will be able to do is to be on par with semi-pro displays currently used for retouching. On the contrary, for displaying on smartphones or tablets, the resolution factor is important.
