PSE13 repeatedly crashing when opening more than one file at a time to layer images. [was: Feeling very frustrated.]

Just bought Photoshop Elements 13. I have a Macbook Pro that meets all the requirements. I have installed and reinstalled the program but it just keeps crashing. The program will load, when I choose the expert tab and try to open more than one file at a time to layer images it just crashes and says "Photoshop Elements has closed unexpectedly" Can anyone help me please?

OK, kinda slooow here, I hope I'm not trying your patience!? If I understand you correctly, install dummy drivers and then the drivers that came with my printer, Designating NO default printer! Then when I need to use the printer I will have to declare which one each and every time?
Or, just intall by new printer but do not Delcare it as the Default printer, I guess in this instance there would be NO default printer?
You may not even have the problem!
Have you installed the new printer yet?
There are many more people who don't see it happen than those who do.
PS: there is always a default printer.

Elements 6 editor crashes when opening more than 1 file

elements 6 editor crashes when opening more than 1 file

It may be a lack of available memory (RAM). Open the Editor and click the menu:
Edit >> Preferences >> Performance
Photoshop Elements >> Preferences >> Performance (on Mac)
You can increase the amount of RAM available to elements, but never go above 90% otherwise you will have nothing left for running other open applications.
You can also allocate other volumes or an external hard drive as scratch disks which elements can then use in place of a shortage of RAM.

2)error message is "Adobe Photoshop Elements (editor) has encounterd a problem and need to close. We are sorry for the inconvienience."
3) error signature:
AppName, photoshopeditor.exe appver 7.0.0.0, ModeName ntdll.dll, ModVer 5.1.2600.6055, Offset: 00019af2
4) I have an open Nef file minimized below and select another Nef file, it comes on the editor screen, I then select "open file" , then the above message comes on the screen, and after "reporting error", Editor crashes and blows me out of Photoshop completely.
5) no other software is running, I have even shut down my virus software

8) yes it did work fine months ago, but I took a break from Photography(3-4 months), with no changes to photoshop.
9) I did recently update the raw files, but as a note, this is happening with JPG's as well.
6) I have tried uninstalling Elements and reinstalling, with no change
Thank you for your efforts

Photoshop crashes when opening more than 10 files at once

CS4 crashes when I open too many files at once. Like more than 10. They're not even very big files.

What are Your Photoshop – Preferences – Performance-settings?
Other than that You might consider doing OS-maintenance, like repairing permissions, cleaning PRAM etc. and trashing Photoshop-prefs … all of which might or might not help.

Can't open more than one file at a time

I am experiencing a strange bug in Dreamweaver CC.
When I try to open multiple files in DW, it opens the same file in multiple tabs. For example: I select index.html and login.html from the site root, then open. Instead of ending up with both files open, one in each tab, DW opens two tabs of the login.html. If I try to open a third file called main.css for example, it replaces the two existing tabs and opens a third tab, all with main.css.
This makes working on global site styles and pretty much anything very difficult.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I have all the latest updates to the software currently available.

Hello all,
I am aware that it's not typical DW behaviour. I have never experienced it in any previous versions either. I tried the new user account without success.
For reference: iMac 21"
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
The system has more than enough power to run DW. I would like more power, but then wouldn't everyone...
So unfortunately I am no closer to a solution. Is this a forum that Adobe Support interacts with? Is there any way I can contact them for a solution directly?

IMac (2008) OS10.6.8 - Main menu freezes when running more than one application at a time. Apple and 3rd party applications - all freeze the main menu. Safe mode seems to work OK. Tried repairing permissions - didn't work.

For the past 60 days I've experienced Main Menu freeze when running more than one application at a time. iPhoto, Preview, Text Edit, Epson Scan, Firefox and Thunderbird are the apps I use almost daily. No matter what I do, when more than one is running they will freeze the Main Menu (top of the screen). I've tried booting is Safe Mode and I don't seem to have a problem. I've tried several suggestions from repairing permission (DiskUtility) to eliminating specifis login items. Nothing works. I've posted this issue on the Apple forum several times and no one else has experienced this problem. I hesitate to take my iMac to the Apple Store or a private Apple repair service until I've exhausted all of my options. Do I have any more options?

Question: Everytime an app crashes I have the option to report it to Apple - which I usually do. But I've NEVER reported a Main Menu freeze because it never asks me to
There's really no need to submit to Apple, it's just a round file cabinet on the other end, especially with 10.6 or earlier.
This sure sounds like a resource problem...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

PSE-7 won't allow opening of more than one file at a time.

I can only open one file at a time in PSE-7. I just downloaded the trial upgrade from PSE-6. If I try to open more than one file, PSE crashes and windows wants to send a report to Microsoft. Elements works fine with only one file. Anyone got any idea's ?

Try to exit out of Elements 7 and go back in to your Organizer. Open a file and choose to edit it in full edit. Then leave it there and go back to Organizer and choose another picture to go through the same process. Now you should have both pictures showing in your bin at the bottom of the edit screen which you can toggle back and forth to as you edit each. If you want them both in the edit window itself you can you to the Window tab - Image - and choose to tile them or cascade them. Good luck, hope this works.

Opening more than one file in Photoshop CS5

Feeling rather silly! Have used Photoshop for many years — and in fact taught it to many.
I am unable to open more than one doc at a time. If I open one, when I open the second one it replaces the first one.
It is essential for what I do to be able to have more than one doc open at a time.
Am I missing something that is right before my eyes?

How are you supposed to know this stuff — no manual??
The manual is available for download.

Albeit it seems to be incomplete …
Anyway that stuff (and the Application Frame) was introduced in CS4 and did cause some confusion then, too.

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. how do i fix the problem

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. It use to allow me to open multiple windows before but for no apparent reason it stopped. I uninstalled it and re-installed but I'm having the same problem. How do I fix the problem
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== several days ago

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

After i downloaded Firefox 7, I cannot open more than one page at a time. I have done everything you suggested about ad-on, etc. Other people are having problems. Can I get reall help with this or should I just reload Firefox 4?

Firefox 7 is a dud. Cannot open more than one tab at a time, will not open additional pages. Nothing you suggested has worked.
Can I take down Firefox 7 and reload Firefox 4?
I need to talk with a live person! I am real disappointed with this.

Sorry there is no telephone support. You could try the IRC if you want a quick response, ( whilst it is [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/ask open] )
Firefox 4 is not supported, but firefox 3.6 is
* see [[installing a previous version of firefox]]
There is a change to a preference which may help, post back with more details of your problems please.

How to open more than 1 file at a time in PSE12?

How do you set PSE12 to open more than 1 file (jpg) at a time? I've seen this question come up many times but no one seems to get the problem resolved. I've tried all the suggestions. Any assistance appreciated.
I had this program installed and working as I wanted about 3 months ago. I then uninstalled and reinstalled a few days ago. Now it won't open more than 1 file at a time.

Hi,
My theory is that Windows get confused when it is opening the program file and the following intsructions should create a unique copy. I have produced the instructions in detail because I am never sure how much people are use to - forgive me you know much of it.
Open Windows or Folder Explorer
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12
Look for PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
Right click on the file and select Copy
Right click on a blank space and select Paste - you should get a prompt asking if you want to continue - you do - this should produce a copy of the file
Rename PhotoshopElementsEditor - Copy.exe to PSE 12 ED - you should get a prompt asking if you want to continue - you do
Close the Explorer
In the Windows Control Panel, select Default Programs
In Default Programs, Select Associate a file type … - it will take a while to display the list
Scroll down to the type you want to select - say .jpg and select it
Click on the Change program button
Click on the Browse button
Search for the PSE 12 ED file renamed in 6 above, select it and then click on the Open button
Click on OK and close the Default Programs
Now try your tests. I can get multiple files to open as well as retain Expert mode.
Good luck
Brian

Any way to transcode more than one file at a time?

I've noticed that Final Cut Pro X, when doing transcoding (for Optimizing or creative Proxy media) only processes a single file at a time (whereas it can handle processing up to 5 audio files at once), and is only using about 70% of my processor(s) -- I have a dual core, Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, about 500MB used by FCPX during the processing. So this thing should have PLENTY of processor and memory headroom to use, and it should certainly be able to transcode more than one file at a time. Yet it isn't nearly taking full advantage of the processors, or the RAM. Is there any solution to this problem?
--Andy H.

Try the 'add folder to library' option under file on the main menu.

So now that you have repeated the same thing three times that doesn't make things any clearer at all.
You are copying files from where to where?
How are you attempting to copy files, software or click and drag?
Any other detail would be helpful.

Can not color label more than one file at a time

Hi,
I've had this problem since 10.6.6-ish, i can not color label more than one file at a time in the Finder.
Wether i select two, twenty or twohundred only one file gets color labeled.
It doesn't seem to matter if i assign a color label through the File menu or right click > label.
Figured a re-install might fix this but it hasn't (even a clean install without restoring any kind of backup).
Does anyone else have this issue and/or a fix for it?
Thanks,
Jay
