Problems with PSE 12 Editor

Okay,
I have Windows 7 (64 bit) on a Core i5.
I installed PSE 12 (from a boxed version) after a fresh reboot.
After I open PSE 12, some really weird things happen.
The first thing I did was go to Expert and then tried to set up my customized panels on the right. So, I wanted the actions panel out to go into my Effects... etc panel. It took like 7 or 8 tries before I could click and drag it out of the one panel it was in to the panel I wanted it. I would click and drag, and after a second it would "let go" (even though was still holding the mouse button down) and drop somewhere else.
Then today, I was playing with gradients. And I would click on the gradient dropdown menu to choose a different set, and the gradient menu would close up. So I'd click again and start moving my cursor down, and it would close. It would take 5 or 6 tries before it would stay open long enough for me to choose another set.
This is not right. At least PSE 11 let me do stuff. What's going on?

Hi Barry,
just wanted to let you know that you can change some of grid viewing preferences from "Edit Menu>Preferences>Guides and Grids".

  • Fragmentation problems with PSE 11

    I have just installed PSE & Premier Elements 11 on Vista Ultimate. When I try to edit my photos they become fragmented and look like a jigsaw puzzle. This does not happen with PSE 10 on the same computer. Can anyone tell me why this occurs?  Could it be a fault with the software?

    Thank you for your information about my problem with PSE 11. I have since tried the programme on 2 different computers and it works fine. Seems like the problem is with my computer although my old PSE 10 works okay. I'd appreciate any ideas about what could be wrong with my computer to cause my photos to break up into various segments which don't join together particularly when I move them into 'before and after horizontal' or '......vertical' and even when zooming them.

  • Few problems with PSE 11

    Hi everybody,
    I have a problem with my PS Elements 11. I was working on trial and then decided to buy full version, however few things seems to work different than on my trial and I can't find solution.
    1) When I copy one image to another it makes transparent layer on it altho capacity is set on 100% still. On my trial image copied or cuted to another pic was looking exactly as original and after I could lower transparency by lowering capacity.
    2) When I want to use normal brush and make just one spot, or paint with one line not with a lot of points or other symbols. I thought aerograph function is the reason but it paints with it and normal the same (as many symbols)
    3) When I select part of image with square selection tool it makes a circle with it or rounded field but somehow square selected image is finally copied. It seems it finds some borders on img by itself and changes selected square to it.
    I would be very glad if someone could help me to resolve those issues. I will feel free to post others also if I they will come to my mind.
    thanks!

  • Catalog backup problems with PSE 11

    Hi,
    I'm having terrible problems trying to backup my catalog to an external hard drive.
    My PC is running Windows 7 with 8 GB of internal memory. My external hard drive is formatted to FAT 32 and has 130GB of spare capacity. My catalog is 45GB.
    I have previously backed up the the catalog without any problems but can't remember if I did this before I upgraded to PSE 11.
    I initially tried doing a full backup but got an error part way through writing the 'breeze' data. Having read that the breeze data was only used for face recognition, I deleted the remaining breeze data files and tried again.
    I then encountered a problem when writing some of my early .jpg files. I couldn't see any obvious problem with these but tried removing them and runnning the back up again.
    This time it got a bit further but hung up on some .mpg files.
    I removed all video files and tried again.
    This time it got up to over 60% complete but it then hung up on some early files which had a 'description' 2002 rather than a straight date name to the file. I thought that there might be a problem with file names including ' 's ', so removed these and tried again.
    I then tried running Catalog 'optimize' and 'repair' (I didn't tick 'the re-index visual similarity data').
    I eventually got up to over 65% complete but couldn't get the backup to go past my 2007 files no matter what files I removed.
    I then tried doing an incremental backup using a Catalog file that I had created in 2011. This backup failed with 'an error encountered while writing.....WaldoData\waldo.cache'
    I now don't know what to try! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    FYI, looking at the backup Catalog files that I have previously created, it appears that only the first contains all the images from whole catalog with an equal number of .xml files.
    Two others which I created (which I can't remember were full or incremental backups) only have some of the images. I'm sure that this can't be right.
    I presume that for an intial backup the .xml files should run from B0000001 to Bnnnnnnn; the .jpg/.mpg/ etc from Bnnnnnnn+1 to B 2(nnnnnnn) and that when one runs an incremental back up the new .xml files are added from B2(nnnnnnn)+1 to B2(nnnnnnnn)+(mmmm) and the image files continuing for a further (mmmm). Is this correct?
    Otherwise what should one be seeing?
    Regards
    Mike

  • Problems with PSE 8.0

    Please Help:
    PSE 8.0 has become so buggey it is bemome unusable.  If I go dirictrlly to Organizer on sartup it will work, but if I use any other program first, organizer will not open unless I reboot the computer.  I would like to reload Elements and sart from scatch, but i used the downloaded version and can't fgure out how to make this work.  I have had quit a few problems with the pse line over the years but this problem is quite vexing.  Any help or adivice would be greatly appreciated.
    Jeff

    I have tried every suggestion i have read.  Sbut sti
    ll the problem continues.  When ever i open another program before
    opening PSE when i try to open organizer is just crashes, but when I open editor it opens right up with no problems what ever.  And this problem continued even after unloading and reloading the program from start.  I have just run out of ideas.  I am know considering Paintshop Pro Photo.

  • Problems with PSE 11 and Filter Forge

    Is anyone else having problems launching Filter Forge from PSE 11?  It used to work, but now freezes after a very partial load.  FF still works with PSE 9, and yes, I have the latest version of PSE 11 installed on a 64-bit version of Win 7 Pro.

    I did not use the trial version of PSE 7 but installed directly from a purchased CD.  The "registration" option under the help menu of the editor is not highlighted and there is no option to deactivate the serial number under help in either the editor or the organizer.  Therefore I must assume that Ankush is correct that there is nothing that I need to do prior to uninstalling PSE 7.
    Also, am I correct to assume that since this original post was marked as a discussion and not a question, I do not need to close it in any way?
    Thanks to all who have responded and offered assistance.

  • Problem With PSE-2 and New 1.5 TB Drive

    Hi all. First of all, I've been using my registered PSE-2 for several years with no problem. AMD Athalon 7750 dual core at 2.7 Ghz, 2.0 G Memory. WD 1.5 TB primary and WD 500 GB secondary drive.Win XP SP3. I recently had a drive fail and installed a new freshly formatted WD 1.5 TB as my boot drive. Fresh install of WinXP and updates. Now when I install Elements, it appears to install fine. The problem comes when I attempt to start it the first time I get "Could not initialize Photoshop Elements because the scratch discs are full". Then Elements closes, thus not allowing me to do anything with the internal configuration of the program. I have tried unistalling and installing to the 500 GB drive, but still get the same error. I have increased my page file memory Does anyone know of a problem with installing Elements on a large drive or can anyone offer a possible solution to what I am seeing? Thanks in advance for suggestions...
    JohnR.

    I think Barbara meant photoshop 7, which was out a little before pse2.
    If you hold down the Alt+Ctrl keys just after you start pse2, a dialog
    should appear allowing you to choose the scratch disk (keep holding
    the keys until the dialog appears)
    If you have a recovery partition on your hard drive, try choosing this for
    the scratch disk and then exit pse2. Then restart pse2 and from
    Preferences>Plug-ins and Scratch Disks choose your regular hard drive for the scratch disk.
    Newer versions of pse, at least newer than 3 or 4 don't seem to have this problem.

  • Problems with PSE 10 when saving for the web.

    I'm having problems saving for web with PSE 10. I edit in RAW, edit in PSE 10, save as Jpeg, resize and save for the web.  Results are muddled and not sharp (looks cartoonish). Also, there is no metadata when you look at the image properties.  I uninstalled the program and installed again. No change.

    Are you resizing the photo before save for web?
    What settings are you using in the save for web dialog for the jpeg quality?
    If you compress the jpeg too much (low quality settings below 60), that can make your photos look bad.
    And save for the web in pse 10 automatically strips any metadata in order to keep the file sizes smaller.
    Also, the save for web in pse 10 has a bad habit of not remembering your last used settings, so it's good to verify that your actually set to jpeg instead of the default GIF setting.

  • Problems with PSE 6 since loading PSE 10

    HELP! LOADED ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 10 TO MY LAPTOP UNABLE TO DOWNLOAN PICTURES TO ELEMENTS 10. MY CAMERA IS A CANON EOS 20D.
    SINCE DOWNLOADING PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 10 I AM UNABLE TO TO OPEN ELEMENTS 6 FROM MY LAPTOP.
    PHOTOS LOADED IN MY LAPTOP ARE NOW ONLY COMING UP IN ELEMENTS 10.
    WHATS UP WITH ADOBE SOFTWARE?
    <thread title edited by forum host>

    You need to use Elements organizer to download your photos directly from your camera.
    Organizer comes with a build-in plugin named Adobe Photo Downloader to download your images from camera and other devices.
    If you don't want to download your all photos from your camera and just edit a few of them, you can always open them directly in PSE Editor using File>open

  • Problems with PSE 8.0 (Mac version)

    Hi,
    I have two problems regarding PSE and Adobe Customer Service.
    First things first :
    1. When I try to run successfully installed software I receive this error:
    and I don't know what to do next. Im trying to run it on Leopard Snow.
    2. I bought software from shop on adobe.com and when contacted with polish Adobe division (country I'm from) I was denied any customer assistance (even when they checked that this software is legit). They claim that I can only contact with american division. Is that right? I'm pretty much sure that I have right to call to the nearest customer service and ask for help - but maybe Im wrong.

  • Several Problems with Visual Editor 1.1

    I have installed the latest version of visual editor and also the emf and gef version required,the problem comes when i try to create a new Vsual class after i choose the property of the class such as name and so on and clicked finish My visual editor is empty.....the palette for visual component doesn't appear.
    The visual editor creates a little window and duplicates it evrey time i click in the visualEditor page......please help me...i don't know what i have to do.... i tried the impossible but visual editr still doesn't work!

    Mmm yes it's true, I have a virus checker on my computer...
    and I have tried it twice to download WLS6.1 and always the same problem....so
    I'll try again.
    As for the last point (quick deploy of ejbs without compiling the classes)- Has
    anybody managed to do it? It really could be helpful is somebody, who managed
    to deploy a bean like this (without compiling) could post it to me, so I can examine
    it...
    You can mail it to [email protected]
    Thanks

    It sounds like there is a problem with your downloaded version of the

    Perhaps your download was corrupted by a running virus checker - we've
    seen that
    before. If you have a virus checker active, flush your browser cache,
    turn off the
    virus checker and reboot. Attempt to download again and run the install
    program.
    You should be prompted for the password and JDK 1.3.1 should be installed
    on your
    system.

  • Problems with AppleScript Editor.app in Snow Leopard

    I have been using the Satimage.osax scripting addition with Script Editor.app in Leopard without problem. After I upgraded to Snow Leopard, the Script Editor.app was replaced by AppleScript Editor.app in which the following one-line script
    change "," into "." in "3,1416"
    compiles without error but it gives an error when I try to run it: as if AppleScript Editor.app was not able to load the ScriptingAdditions (despite the fact that it correctly shows the dictionary for the Satimage.osax scripting addition).
    When I decided to get back the old "Script Editor.app" and use it in Snow Leopard to run the above script, I found... no error! It ran correctly.
    Anybody observed similar problems with the AppleScript Editor.app and ScriptingAdditions?
    Can anybody offer a solution other than trash the new AppleScript Editor.app and stick to the old Script Editor.app?

    Post to the AppleScript forum under OS X Technologies and send a message to Satimage.

  • Problem with condition editor in Interface determination

    Hi,
    I have 5 receivers for an interface. There are some conditions based on which the message should be processed.
    one of my condition is:
    If field A = CIT* and (field B != IDP or field C != IDP*) then message should be processed to a particular InterfaceMap(Messaeg Map).
    I am facing problems when giving the condition with != in the condition editor of InterfaceDetermiantion.
    When I send a message that is not satisfying the above condition, even then an output file with 0kb is getiitng created. But in this case, the condition should obstruct the message going to Message mapping.
    I thought this could be the problem with != operator in condition editor.
    Can any one suggest if there is any other way that i can proceed.
    Thanks in advance,
    Minisha.

    Hi Suraj,
    Thanks for the suggestion.
    But it didnt work for me.
    Even when i give empty-message handling to ignore, the empty file is getting generated.
    Not even the condition is working.
    I tried only giving (field A u2248 CIT* AND field B != IDP EX ), which should work in this case. As expected, the message is not processed beyond this as the condition is false. But problem is when i tested with other testfile with which the condition given is true, still the message is not being processed. it is now completely obstructing the message even if the condition is true.
    Thanks,
    Mnisha.
