Trying to open file in photoshop elements, only first option available in Edit Photo window.  The other two has "Edit a Copy is not applicable to raw or Digital Negative files" same for Edit Original.

Brand new user to Lightroom 5.  Was following tutorials and doing fine editing.  After done editing NEF files, I'm trying to open them in PSE 11 to further edit.  Using the "Edit Photo with Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor".  But the window only has the first option available and the other two grayed out.  Each of those has "...is not applicable to raw or Digital Negative files."  What??

sorry, no can do...ain't gonna happen.
What you've done is hit the wall on is the basic difference between lite duty spot healing and photo level tone and color correction (Lightroom and Camera Raw) and heavy duty pixel retouching in Photoshop.
When you need to substantially manipulate the "pixels" you need Photoshop and you'll be forced to render the raw file into a TIFF or PSD file either through Camera Raw or more better, via Lightroom.
You can do the basic tone and color correction directly in Lightroom and edit in Photoshop from Lightroom. But you will NEED to create and save out a "rendered" image that is no longer raw...then retouch to your heart's desire, save it and it'll be available in Lightroom along side your original raw if you choose.
But no, there's no way to open a raw in Photoshop, manipulate the heck out of it with massive retouching then save that back out as a raw file...ain't gonna happen.

  • Using Aobe Photoshop Elements 6:  1.  How to download photos in the same order as on the smart card from which I downloaded them?  2.  Changing the date on each photo

    Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 6:
    1.  How can I get the 2000 photos I downloaded in the same order as on the smart card from which I downloaded them?  (This will help me label them correctly)
    2.  How can I change the date on each photo? (I want to sort by date the picture was taken, not the date it was downloaded.

    You indicated that the images "seemed" to be in the right order.  It might be a good idea to rename the images on export using a custom name/sequence.  If you have done that and the images are still not in order, it's possible that your operating system browsing window is using a different sort order.  I sometimes change windows explorer to sort by file type, and then files are sometimes in what seems be a strange order.

  • My toolbar was in offline mode and now the only tabs I have or forward, backward & internet the other two or three are missing and the google bar is missing at least in my toolbar. How do I get my toolbar back to normal?

    My firefox was in offline mode I clicked it like it said and it took several times to get it off offline mode. Now my toolbar has items missing how to I get these items back on my toolbar?

    If you had a passcode on the phone when turning on Lost Mode, lost mode is supposed to use that passcode to lock the phone. When found, entering the passcode should unlock the phone. I'm assuming that's what you're trying to do, correct? However, if the phone is now saying it is "Disabled"...after too many wrong passcode attempts, then you have no choice but to restore the phone. Once disabled, you won't get another attempt to enter the passcode.

  • TS4036 I cant access my Itune store from my PC. I have entered my ID but still can't access the store. I have tried removing it and re-installing it but to no avail. I can access the Itunes store with Iphone and Ipad but not my PC.

    I can't access my itune store through my PC. I have tried removing and reinstalling Itunes,but to no avail. I also tried accessing trough I cloud on my pc but it say apple ID not correct but my Apple ID works on all my other devices such as Iphone 4s and Ipad 2. If I go to Icloud.com I can access my account but can't get to Itune store.
    Help
    Thanks

    The apps I currently have are for the i phone and i pad but i would like to see this on this computer
    On the Mac Air launch iTunes. Then connect either the iPad or iPhone.
    Select the iPad or iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
    Then select Apps from the menu on the right.
    If you don't see the apps listed there, from your iTunes menu bar (top of your screen), click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    See if that makes a difference...

    An attempt to open a pdf file with Photoshop Elements (version 12) resulted in a pop generated by the Photoshop Editor stated "Impossible to execute this operation (opening file) because one of the specified colour is not managed". Is there any mean to adapt the file to make its reading possible?
    Did somebody get the same problem?

    It is a high order probability that your SQL's report generator is creating the PDF, not Acrobat (which by design and EULA cannot be used in as/with server).
    That the report generator outputs to an old-old version of PDF bears this out.
    Wiki articles on PDF are very nice for those high level intro summaries.
    To know / understand PDF you purchase and study the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1:2008).
    Rather than "PDF validation" you may want to consider addressing the appearent root cause of the problem(s).
    You can change the email2fax application to one that can deal with older PDF versions.
    You can change the report generator to one that can output to the ISO Standard.
    (Perhaps the in-use application can be configured to output to the current version of PDF (i.e., the ISO Standard).
    Be well...

    Photoshop and elements 13
    Working in iPhoto
    Want to edit image using photoshop elements
    Did the following
    IPhoto>Preferences>Advanced>Edit Photos: In drop down menu chose in Photoshop Elements
    Also control click and chose edit in external editor
    Drop down menu edit photos in external program>photoshop Elements
    Go to to the image I'm working on  --- selected the image, the clicked on edit. When nothing happened I double clicked the image. Still elements didn't open. Then I opened the Elements editor, went back to iphoto and tried the entire process again. the photo still didn't open on Elements 13 for editing.
    I have 3 Elements 13 books as well as looked on line--all my references say the exact same thing ---- iPhoto>Preferences>advanced>edit in external program>photoshop Elements
    I uninstalled and reinstalled both iPhoto as well as Elements.
    I spoke with application technical support.  There appears to be nothing wrong with my copy of iPhoto.  However there is no support from Adobe.  I waited for over 1.5 hours for chat support several days ago, and finally gave up.

    You are probably choosing the obvious file rather than the correct file as the PSE editor. The actual editor is hidden away inside the Support Files folder. The PSE file at the top level of the PSE folder in Applications is just an alias for the welcome screen and what you're describing is exactly what happens when you choose that. You want this one:

  • Trying to upload "actions" to photoshop elements 10 but I am having troubles because things are not on my hard drive that need to be there??

    I am trying to upload "actions" to photoshop elements 10 but I am having troubles!  I watched the YouTube tutorial but seem to be missing "Adobe" in my Hard Drive!  Help me I am stuck....

    I just loaded my actions using the PSE 10 from the App Store.
    Close PSE.
    Access the System library location from Finder menu, click "Go" in the menu bar then select "Go to Folder...". Type in  "~/Library" and click Go.
    The systems Library will open up and then you take this path:
    Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor > Presets > Actions (The Actions folder is where you move your actions file to)
    Then go to the Photo Creations Folder > Locales > en_US and delete the MediaDatabase.db3 file (move it to the trash)
    The next time you launch PSE your Actions DB will be rebuilt with the new actions installed.

  • How do I open and use Photoshop Elements 12?

    How Do I Open and use Photoshop Elements 12? I've just purchased it and can't find a way to open and use the program.
    [email protected]

    Mac or Windows?
    Have you actually installed it, or just downloaded your purchased copy? If just downloaded then you need to double-click the downloaded file from wherever you saved it to. This will run the installer and ask you to enter your serial number (which you should NEVER post in a public forum such as this).
    If you have installed it, and if you're using Windows, it should have placed shortcuts on the desktop. But if not click Start and type 'photo' without the quotes and you should see an entry for PSE.
