PSE 8 and Plus

I bought PSE8 with the Plus features and I do not see anything listed in the “Plus Members Only” templates.  How do I get them or verify that I have them?

One thing just to double check....
When you installed PSE8, and it asked for your location, did you say United States? (The Plus services are only available in the United States)
Assuming you did, there are a number of places where Templates, Themes, Artwork, Filters, etc are shown for Plus Members. They all show up with a little gold sash across the right top corner of their Thumbnail. Once you actually use them, the Gold Sash goes away as that item has been downloaded.
Example:
Go into the Online Album sharing workflow.
When you are previewing your Online Album, the various Online Album Templates are shown across the top of the application. The Plus Templates will have little gold sashes. Remember, the Gold Sash actually means two things: 1) It's a Plus Template, and 2) It has not yet been downloaded. Clicking on any of the Plus Templates will download them, and the gold sash will go away.
Hope that helps.

  • Issues with Adobe PSE 12 and Premier Elements 12 plus DiskWarrior 4.4

    Since upgrading to the final version of OS X 10.10 Yoesemite I have issues with Adobe PSE 12 and Premier Elements 12 plus DiskWarrior 4.4. I don't recall their being any issues while I went through the Beta testing process.  The Adobe products (PSE and PE) give me a configuration message "error 16" and it tells me to uninstall and reinstall. I have done this a few times/  It seems to go through the whole install process until the startup where it crashes.  I downloaded PSE 11 and at least it starts up but I haven't used it to do anything.  Also DiskWarrior 4.4 does not load up from the hard drive anymore (error message) and when I boot it up from disk is doesn't give me the option of correcting permission when repairing files and folders.
    At lease all of otheother software including Photoshop Lightroom 5.6 seem to be working.
    Very sad

    Barbara,
    Yes, I accessed the "updates" menu from the Help pull-down menu.  I also accessed the updates using the Mac Terminal application with results shown in my original post.  Regardless of whether I used the Help menu or the Mac Terminal app, the AAM tool still responded with:
    Update Failed
       Updates could not be applied
       The error log file may help you in identifying the problem.  The, try updating again.  If the problems persist, contact customer support for further assistance.
      The error log file read as follows:
       Photoshop Camera Raw 8.5
       There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1I210
       Looking at the the output of the Mac Terminal app, it shows:
       ... hdiutil: attach failed - no mountable file systems
       Is this relevant?
    Regarding your follow-up message pointing to:
    Update 12.1 installation errors | Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements,
    the files referenced in this link are present, are correctly named, and they are in the correct locations, so it would appear that these issues are not related to the ACR 8.5 update problem
    Thanks

  • Note on bugs in PSE 9 and question on fit to screen

    Things I don't like or glitches in 9 that I never had in Elements 5:
    Undo goes to last layer, NOT to last action. Really annoying when I'm trying to stay on the layer I'm on!!
    Icons on organizer are all orange. Every. Single One. Not at all helpful for tags & categories. I found the icon folders after, oh, about half an hour, but can't figure out how to get more icons. I can get orange, blue, red, and green. No purple nor any of the old ones from 5. I guess this is a question, if anyone knows how to make these icons useful rather than boring and uesless.
    Help search from the top tab is not for PSE 9, and the suggested answers all go to earlier editions!!! This is really bad.
    Last, I can't move the image in the window space. This is kind of basic, to use maximum real estate. In 5, when I enlarged the image with the navigator, the whole image, plus any grey margin, enlarged. It still enlarges, but the outline around it stays the same!! So all you see is 3 big inches, when you need 6 inches to see the image! Then you have to stop and manually drag the outline to match the size of the image. So time-consuming.
    Another size problem is that for some reason I can't deselect the Project Bin in the Windows tab. The check mark is always there. That means that there is always 1.5 inches or so in the bottom I could use, but Fit to Screen STOPS where the project Bin used to be. Again, I have to drag the whole outline down to work on the image.
    Enlarging the box outline to match the image is basic geometry that should have been figured out in Elements 1, not in 9.Since this happens before you even start work on the image, it ruins the experience from the start.
    Any suggestions on fixing the icons or deselecting the project bin or automatically sizing to fit screen gratefully appreciated.

    I was on the phone for 5 minutes short of 3 hours - about an hour was on hold. I decided to limit my complaints to 2: the orange tags that are the only color now for Organizer tags & categories (3 other colors, but can't add colors or shapes of icons) and the problem with fit to screen. They had me download an app so that they could see everything on my computer. I'd never done this before, and was a little nervous, but also desperate. For each time they moved I had to give permission, so you have some control.
    They know about the organizer tag problem. No solution yet. The more people complain, the better. They have issued some updates, so they can update this if they WANT to. One guy suggested that asking for more than 5 icons is a "request" but I insisted that it is a BUG! No one can organize their images into just 4 or 5 categories!
    I talked to 3 guys before any of them could fix the full image problem, so it pays to be persistent and keep asking. To answer you, Barbara, yes, you can make the Project Bin disappear totally if you're in Float mode (and also unattach it, or move it to Panel Bin - I was in Float mode, and didn't know it. In fact, even the words of the tab Project Bin will disappear.  In that mode, Fit to Screen will always stay ABOVE where the PB would be - about 1.5 inches from bottom.
    The guy who helped finally had me remove the entire folder inside Adobe, and it built a new one, without Preferences. (I don't know why he couldn't just check Default mode, but he didn't) I had checked Allow floating documents in Preferences. Why not? Well, the screen behaves differently, if the images are floating - they just won't use the full edit space unless you drag and push them all over.
    The default Normal mode will center the image fairly big. Then in Window uncheck PBin. The image will center itself again, but will not get any bigger, even with the extra space. Go up to View, Fit to Screen, and then it will fill the whole space!
    I really think there shouldn't be a Floating mode preference there at all - it was very problematic.

  • I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5.  When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different.  Why doesn't it appear edited?

    I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5.  When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different.  Why doesn't it appear edited?

    People who have Photoshop, but don't have Lightroom, need ACR so that they can use Raw files. Without ACR they could do nothing with those (they may also like having ACR so that they can work on other kinds of image using the same kinds of adjustments and techniques, as are used with Raw files).
    People who have Lightroom, can get access to Raw files regardless whether ACR is present or not. They can use Lightroom on other kinds of image also, using the same methods. LR can pass images directly into Photoshop without passing via ACR (or else does so transparently, which amounts to substantially the same thing).
    ACR does not, strictly speaking, even need to be installed for this external editing to happen. In fact, not even PS needs to be - since a different image editor can be used instead, while still retaining the Adobe Raw conversion etc.
    Lightroom "subcontracts out" specialised external tasks, in this workflow, but is still your "main contractor": the image is otherwise located, viewed, managed, adjusted/presented and output entirely using LR.
    So IMO we can divide image processing into:
    operations that involve pixels and layers and layer masks and adjustment layers etc (of the kind done inside Photoshop)
    operations that involve parametric edits (of the kind done in ACR where you are not using a Lightroom based workflow; otherwise, done inside Lightroom)
    When PS is called in, that's because those tasks are impossible or unsuitable to do in Lightroom. But those tasks can't be done in ACR either - by definition, since LR and ACR have exactly the same image processing "feature set".
    Lightroom is irrelevant to the Bridge + ACR + PS workflow. This workflow requires both your PS and your ACR to be current enough, to support your Raw format etc.
    ACR and Bridge are irrelevant to the LR + (image editor) workflow. It is in this case, only LR which needs to be current enough to support your Raw format etc.

  • Adobe PSE 10 and 11 refuse to open.

    Hi, guys.
    I've been using PSE 10 on my current computer (currently running Windows 7, 64-bit) for quite some time now--a little over a year, I'd say. Everything worked fine before; I was able to open the editor and use it without problems. Just yesterday, I bought a new Intuos Creative tablet, and as soon as I finished installing it, I tried opening PSE 10's editor only to find that when the loading screen comes up, it'll freeze at "Initializing..." and I have to force-close the process with Task Manager. I've tried creating desktop shortcuts to the folders, I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the program, I've tried running it in compatablility modes, and nothing works. The same thing applies to PSE 11's editor. Neither program will load, and I'm confused as to why this is happening (I made it so that I bypass the welcome screen, so I'm not sure how I'd be able to get there now). The strange thing is that the tablet and PSE 10 and 11 work just fine on the family desktop computer (running Windows Vista 32-bit).
    Is there a way of fixing this, or could it just be my tablet? Could it just be Windows 7 (as mentioned before, everything seems to work just fine on the family computer) and my tablet driver not getting along or something?
    Any help with this is appreciated greatly. Thanks.

    Try reverting to a system restore point just before installing your tablet. If things start working again then there is most likely a compatibility issue. You should also search the Intuos Creative site for an updated driver.
    Cheers,
    Neale

  • When I bought my Mac Air OSX Version 10.9.2 my daughter helped me migrate the contents of my previous macbook.  But in the process seems to have duplicated the iTunes library .  The start up disk is almost full and plus it doesn't my iPhone.  Please help!

    When I bought my Mac Air OSX Version 10.9.2 my daughter helped me migrate the contents of my previous macbook.  But in the process seems to have duplicated the iTunes library - How do I get rid of one.  The start up disk is almost full and plus it doesn't synch properly with my iPhone 4S.  Please help!

    Hello nicky:
    You should run repair disk from your software install DVD before you try anything else. The crash may have damaged some of your directories - and a possible cause of the "missing/not missing" tunes.

  • Photomail in PSE 7 and/ or 9 - need help

    Somehow I no longer can add text in my photomails (both in PSE 7 and 9 (trial version), where I could do this before. Has someone any ideas on how to fix this for this is one of the features I really like in PSE and also was the reason to install PSE 9 to see if I could add text in this version.

    Are you talking about adding text in Stationary dialog when in Photomail workflow or it is in email client windows. For me it works in PSE7 and PSE9 both.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer: Full screen view of lower quality than with PSE 10 and before?!

    Upgrading from PSE 10 to 11, I noticed that when I watch my images with the organizer in PSE 11 in full screen view mode (F11), while the images load faster, they are shown in a lower quality than in PSE 10 or any other version of PSE that I owned before. In PSE 11, after the initial viewing in full screen (in the "fit screen" mode), when I click with the mouse on an image to display the "100%" view, there is a delay and the program says "Loading...", after which the 100% view in the full screen mode appears. When I then click another time with the mouse on the image to get back to "fit screen" mode, I get an image of better quality than during the initial view!
    So it seems like the program first gives a faster, but lower quality view of the image in full screen mode, and only after the user requests a 100% view, it actually loads the image with full detail, which is then preserved when going back to the "fit screen" view. This is a serious issue for me, because I also use PSE organizer to present my pictures to other people, and I don't want to show them some lower quality versions of my images, but the full quality ones, without having to first choose "100% view" and then go back to "fit screen".
    How can I make the PSE 11 organizer give me a full-quality full screen image right away, as this used to be the case in PSE10 and before?
    (I have both versions, PSE 11 and PSE 10, now on the same computer and tested this to confirm that the PSE 11 initial full screen view is of lower quality than the PSE 10 one. Also in PSE 10, there is practically no delay for displaying the "100%" view afterwards, indicating that the image was loaded with full detail right away.)

    - Update:
    * Adobe's senior support level has replied to me about this issue as follows:
    "Thank you for contacting Adobe.
    When you press the F11 button, Organizer 11 uses the Bicubic
    interpolation mainly because it is less processor intensive compared to
    Bicubic Sharper, and it helps to create the preview on the fly, rather
    than based on the thumbnail cache.
    When you zoom out from the 100% view, Elements Organizer uses Bicubic
    Sharper. This is because Bicubic Sharper is used for image reduction, so
    if the 100% view is larger than the available screen space, it will need
    to shrink. The Bicubic Sharper images may look more crisp however, Like
    any sharpening algorithm, Bicubic Sharper introduces halos and
    edge-enhancement artifacts. Those halos are typically slight, but any
    further sharpening (which you'll need when preparing an image for print,
    for example) will exaggerate them.This is expected behavior. The
    Organizer isn't great for determining exact quality, I recommend you to
    use Elements Editor for this purpose.
    Thank you,
    Bobby Johnson,
    Adobe Technical Support."
    * My reply on this to Adobe is:
    "Hello Bobby,
    thank you for your reply. Now at least we are talking about the same thing.
    Why I am wondering about the choice to use the "Bicubic" algorithm when pressing F11 in PSE 11 is that all previous versions of PSE that I owned (which spans from PSE 6 to PSE 10) did use the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm right away when pressing F11. So apparently Adobe didn't worry about processor intensity of this algorithm then, and computers are getting all the time more powerful.
    It is true that in some situations, the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm may introduce halos and edge-enhancement artifacts, as you write. On the other hand, especially on smaller resolution screens, the results of the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm may look more crisp and lively, while the ones of the "Bicubic" algorithm may look more flat and lack fine detail. This is not only my personal opinion, but as I have brought up this topic in several forums, I can see that I am not alone here.
    So assuming that the question about preferring "Bicubic Sharper" or "Bicubic" as a default algorithm when pressing F11 is partly a matter of taste, and partly a matter of the hardware the user has available, why can Abobe not give the user an option to choose which one he/she would prefer? For instance, F11 gives full screen view with "Bicubic" applied, and CTRL+F11 with "Bicubic sharper"? Or make this an option in the preferences?
    As I am using the PSE organizer also to present pictures to other people (and I know many people who use it that way too), I would like to show them my pictures as sharp and detail-rich as possible. Therefore, I would highly appreciate an option as described above to be implemented in the PSE 11 organizer via an update. It should be fairly easy from a programming point of view, since both algorithms are already contained in the program anyway."
    * If you support this suggestion of mine as stated above, please also contact Adobe accordingly! The more support requests they get for this, the more likely it is that they will implement this update! You may mention my case number 0184046323 for reference.

  • Upgrade to Photoshop Elements 10 - Security Advisory for PSE 8 and earlier

    https://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-03.html
    Based on the aforementioned advisory, those of you using Photoshop Elements 8, or earlier, should probably upgrade to v10 (or at least 9). Although it has been stated that, "Adobe is not aware of any attacks exploiting these vulnerabilities against Adobe Photoshop Elements to date", it seems silly to run software that contains one or more known critical vulnerabilities and Adobe is NOT going to fix the issue since PSE 8 and earlier versions are no longer supported. Nice of Adobe not to bother fixing a vulnerability in one of their software products when the version involved is only ~2 years old (PSE 8) but the mentality appears to be one designed to virtually force users to pay for upgrades every year or two. FWIW.....

    I admit that it is rather strange that they just issued that advisory when they probably knew about it when pse 8 was stiil being sold.
    Since pse 8 shares much of the code of cs4, look at the date on this advisory for cs4 and yes adobe doesn't have a good track
    record about updating photoshop elements and that is kinda bothersome.

  • Can PSE 6 and PSE 8 Run at the Same Time?

    I have Windows 7 and recently upgraded to PSE 8 and have had problems with Photo Mail and email attachments. I did not have email attachment problems with PSE 6 so I wonder if I can run both 6 and 8. Will there be a catalog problem? When I loaded PSE 8 the first time the catalog needed to be converted. Will this make it unstable for PSE 6?

    As requested.

  • Quickly reconnecting large numbers of photos in PSE 6 and 7

    [This is a significant revision of my message posted here on 2/8/2008 and in the Photoshop Elements 6.0 FAQ forum on 2/9/2008. It is split across two messages.]
    Part I of II
    When you move photos from one location to another using Windows Explorer or some other tool outside of the Organizer, PSE reports those files as missing, and a question mark appears on the thumbnails in the Organizer. The File > Reconnect command can reconnect those files with their new location, but it can be very slow and sometimes only connects a few files at a time.
    Its always best to move files and folders using the Organizer, avoiding the need to reconnect. But if youve already moved those files, here are some ways of coping in PSE 6 and 7:
    1. Move the files back to their original location using Windows Explorer. Then use the Organizers Display > Folder Location view or the File > Move command to move the files to the desired new location. In the left-hand folder pane of Folder Location view, you can drag and drop folders, just like in Windows Explorer (this isnt documented in the Help).
    Since the File > Move command moves files to a single destination folder, its not that useful for working with more than one folder. The PSE 6 Move command also has a serious bug if you move a file to a folder that already has a file of the same name, the destination file gets permanently deleted. (Thats fixed in PSE 7.)
    2. Reconnect an entire folder all at once. If you cant or dont want to use the first method, you can use File > Reconnect > All Missing to reconnect more than one file at a time.
    Its not immediately obvious, but the Reconnect > All Missing window can reconnect an entire folder of files all at once. On the left-hand side, under Files Missing from Catalog, click Select All. On the right side, under Locate the Missing Files, browse to the folder containing the files. A thumbnail of one of the files should be displayed. Click Reconnect, and all the files in the folder will be reconnected. If there are files in other folders remaining to be connected, theyll still be displayed on the left, and you can repeat the process.
    3. Reconnect an entire folder tree all at once. If youve moved an entire tree of folders and theyre now disconnected, you can persuade PSE to reconnect them all quickly.
    a. In Edit > Preferences > Files, select the option Automatically Search For And Reconnect Missing Files.
    b. Do File > Reconnect > Missing File to reconnect one file manually.
    c. Do File > Reconnect > All Missing. PSE will start searching near the folder containing the missing file you reconnected in step b, and it will usually find all the missing files within a couple of minutes of searching.
    d. If step c doesnt find all the missing files, or youre impatient, you can explicitly tell PSE where to search:
    ]i. Do Help > System Info and write down the folder location of your catalog.
    ]ii. Exit PSE.
    ]iii. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the catalog folder.
    ]iv. Open the file rmf.3.cache in Notepad. This file was created in step b above. It contains the most recent folders in which you reconnected files (rmf = reconnected media folders), and the Reconnect command always searches these folders first before scanning the rest of your drives.
    ]v. Delete all of the contents of the file and add a single line containing the full path of root of the folder tree containing your photos. For example, if you moved the folder tree to E:\data\photos, add that as a single line to the file.
    ]vi. Save the file.
    ]vii. Restart PSE and do File > Reconnect All Missing again. It should first search the folder tree you provided in step v.

    <i>Part II of II</i><br /><br /><b>4. Reconnect folders residing on a network drive.</b> If youve moved folders that originally resided on one network drive to another network drive, the Organizer will treat them as offline rather than missing, and it will show a red circle with a vertical line in the corner of the thumbnails.   An offline file is one that might show up later on, such as when you reconnect your laptop to the network containing your file server or you insert a DVD containing your archived photos.<br /><br />Since the moved files are offline, the PSE 6 Reconnect All Missing command wont do anything but tell you there are no files to reconnect.  You can force PSE to reconnect many offline files at once:<br /><br />a. Select all the photos that are offline.<br /><br />b. Do File > Write Keyword Tag and Properties Info.<br /><br />c. In the Find Offline Volumes window that pops up, select Reconnect and click OK.<br /><br />Unfortunately, method 3 doesnt appear to work with offline files on a network drive.  If you have a large number of individual folders and dont have the patience to reconnect each folder in turn, you can either use method 1 (restore the files to their original location) or recreate the original UNC name for the network drive (e.g. \\mycomputer\share).  (You could also try editing the catalog file using the tool sqlite3  search these forums for how to do it.  But thats sketchy at best.) <br /><br />------------------------------------<br />If you reconnect a file and get the message <old file> was not connected to <new file> or The file already exists in the catalog, then youve stumbled over a PSE bug for which there are workarounds.   See this thread:<br /><br /><a href="/webx?14@@.59b66777/5">John Rolfe Ellis, "Cannot Reconnect; File already exists" #6, 17 Sep 2008 2:49 pm</a><br /><br />------------------------------------<br />I havent tested any this in PSE 5, so I cant say how much works the same way.

  • What is the difference between PSE 8 and 9

    I was wondering what is the difference between PSE 8 and 9 and are the enhancements worth upgrading to PSE 9?

    iOS is the operating system for mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads, and iPods), as well as AppleTV. Mavericks is the current operating system for Macs (laptops and desktop computers). Yosemite is its newest iteration, currently in beta and due for release in the next few weeks.
    If you are looking for something more specific concerning functionality, you will have to be more specific with your question.

  • How do I transfer photos from PSE 12 to PSE 13 and do I uninstall PSE12?

    I have downloaded PSE 13, and now need to move the photos in PSE 12 organizer to PSE 13.  Do I uninstall PSE 12 after photo transfer?

    PSE12 simply mirrors your folders on the hard drive of your computer. The Organizer stores nothing physically; simply making links to your folders.
    Try copying outside Elements from the OS to Kindle.
      Otherwise you probably need to contact Amazon.

  • Frustrated: Just bought PSE 10 and doesn't work on Macbook Pro?

    I hope someone can help.

    I have no idea where to turn next?!
    Thanks

    Well, PSE 6 and up all work fine in 10.7.4, so let's try to find out what went wrong. Are you running from an admin account? If you have antivirus software did you disable it while installing? How are you trying to open PSE?
