Unable to work n photo collage

Just downloade Photoshop Element 8 Premeire.
In the Organizer file, I am having trouble working in the photo collage.  When clicking on it it tells me that I have to download Photoshop Element 8 and gives me the option if i want the 30 day trial.  I just don't understand this, when I already paid for the service and i am unable to create anything in photo collage.  Unfortually I started Friday night working on my photos/images, and the tech is not available.  Any suggestions?  This is my first time working in Adobe.

I don't know if I installed the phtoshop elements.
I know that I downloaded Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.  I have still photos in the elements organizer, than I go into create, click on 'photo collage....
Then this screen appears og Ready to Edit Photos
The feature you selected requires Adobe Photoshop Elements.
See how easy it is to enhance and share incredible photos.  Just install the free, fully functional Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 30 day Trial.

  • Elements 11 program stops working when photo collage opened when 297 x 210 selected

    Adobe Photoshop elements 11 program stops working when photo collage opened when 297 x 210 selected>Running Windows 8.1

    Hi Jane
    There are sometimes problems calling up the template from the media database. Why not design your own? It is possible to make a collage manually in Expert Mode and its quite easy.
    Click File >> Open and select all of your photos
    That will add them to the project bin
    Then select File >> New >> Blank File
    Select background color White (or whatever you prefer) and add your width and height for your final image (set resolution 72 for web usage or 240 to 300 for printing) then click OK
    In the project bin click your first photo and drag it up into the main window on top of your new background.
    Click on the move tool and click in the center of the photo and drag to arrange it where you want on the background - you can hold down the shift key to maintain original proportions whilst dragging the corner handles of the bounding box to get the size you want.
    Do the same with the next photo (drag it up into the main window) and use the move tool to position it. Then continue with each image.
    Finally Click Layer >>Flatten image and save as jpeg. (Save as PSD if you want to preserve the layers for editing again)
    N.B. as you add images they get dropped in the center. So you need to use the move tool to drag them apart. Click in the middle of one and move it around, and then the others until you get them positioned as you want.
    When you click again with the move tool a bounding box appears around the image and you can drag out the corner handles to re-size your photos. Hold down the shift key when dragging the corner handle and that will maintain the proportions of the original.
    Finally click Layer >>Flatten Image and save your collage - you may then want to use the crop tool to cut away any surplus white canvas, and then re-save.

  • Elements 11 stops working in Photo collage

    As soon as I try to make a photo collage in elements 11 the progrem terminates. What is the problem?
    I use a PB PC with i7 processor and win 7. Enough memory and running the program from an solid state drive (SSD)
    JanEric

    Well, you can try deleting the editor's preferences. Go to Edit>Preferences>General and click this button, then restart the editor:
    However, in PSE 11 and 12 there's no percentage in using the collage feature. You're actually more restricted in what you can do than if you just create a new blank file in the editor, get out the graphics panel and add what you like. It's not like the older versions where there were things you could do in Create that you couldn't do elsewhere in PSE.

  • Photo Collage - Landscape

    Unable to create a photo collage in landscape mode with Elements 9...even though I drag the landscape template over. I have called Adobe and get the same answer each time, there is a problem and we are working on it. Is anyone else having this problem? Also there are few templates to use, only Basic is offered even though I am a Plus member. Help!

    Should be in Version 9 along with CD & DVD template creation.
    Select your images in Organizer and click Create > Photo Collage
    The Editor will then open automatically.
    Here is a video tutorial.

  • Lightroom 3 Error Working With Photos That Work With Other Apps

    My Setup:
    Lightroom 3.3 for Mac
    iMac OS X 10.6.6
    The problem:
    Lightroom is unable to work with photos it used to be able to work with. In the Library Module I get the error message "There was an error working with the photo." In the Develop Module I get the message "The file appears to be unsupported or damaged."
    Now I know the photos are ok because I can view them in other apps including Photoshop CS5
    And these photos used to work in Lightroom.
    I am suspicious it has something to do with Picasa, which I use to catalog faces. I have compared the exif data and the photos that don't work have an extra value called "Image Unique Id" and it appears to be a long hexadecimal number.  Also, the software version has been modified to indicate "Picasa".
    It bothers me that a world class product like LIghtroom is not robust enough to work on these files when everything else I have tried does work.  The problem is LIghtroom is the primary tool in my workflow.
    So has anybody seen this and know of a way to fix it?

    @Pete -
    Thanks for the feedback, but my I think my concern is valid.  Whatever Picasa is doing to the photo other apps like Apple Preview and CS5 can deal with it.  Lightroom cannot.  I am not explicitly modifying the files in Picasa just using Picasa to catalogue the faces.  So yes, I will quit using Picasa, but I still have hundreds (if not thousands) of photos that can no longer be processed by Lightroom and I need guidance on how to best recover these photos.
    I didn't know whether the Image Unique Id is standard or not, but I do know it does not show up in the files that work, only in the files that do not work.  I just assumed that it was non-standard because I did not see it on functioning files.
    Also, I would argue that Lightroom should be better able to handle this kind of situation instead of just not working.  Thanks again.

  • Appletv works fine for music but I am unable to upload my photos, why?

    How do I get the photo stream to work? Everything in iCloud works except photos on the apple tv, why?

    Have you enabled photostream on your iOS device and on the Apple TV. Photos taken on your iOS device will only upload when you have a wifi connection.

  • I am unable to import new photos in iPhoto 11. Perhaps I should just reinstall from iLife disk? Will it affect my photos in any way?

    Hello,
    I have iPhoto 11 installed on my MacBook. I am now unable to import new photos using USB or by plugging the camera directly into the laptop. Never had that probem before with this camera. Perhaps just reinstall iPhoto from the iLife disk?

    Hello Terence,
    Okay I will try reformating the camera's card. However all is well when I export photos to my iMac at home or onto my iPad.
    If your suggestion does not work should I try reinstalling iPhoto from the iLife disk? If so, how do I go about doing that or is there a website somewhere explaining this?
    Regards,
    Tom

  • I am unable to print color photos from i photo using a Brother Printer

    I am unable to print color photos from i photo using a Brother MFC-6490CW all in one.  The photos appear to be in grayscale.  I have checked the printer settings, but for some reason I am not able to access the color management on my printer from printer set up.  It only gives me the standard option.  I have spent hours checking Bother's website and Apple's and I am not able to come up with a valid answer.  I know that the color print works.  If I print something from the internet of from outlook it will print in color.  I know all of my cartridges are in working order, I have cleaned the print head on my Brother, but I am still not able to print photos in color!!!
    What puzzles me the most is why I am unable to really access the color management menu on my printer?  It just does not come up.  I have the option from paper handling to print photos, but this has nothing to do with the quality.  I have also tried printing the photo from an Adobe PDF file and I still have the same problem.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Thank you.

    In the Print dialogue box click on the little triangle to the right of the name of the printer. That will expand the dialogue box.

  • I installed OSXYosemite 10.10.3 and have been unable to access my photos in iPhoto

    I installed OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 and have been unable to access my photos on iPhoto - in fact, I have  been unable to even get iPhoto to open.  I read that I should download iPhoto 9.6.1 but have been unable to even find it.  There was a suggestion about going to users and groups and creating a new user, then trying to go to applications, purchases, and clicking on "update" - that did not work.  Help.

    On OS X Yosemite 10.10.3, Photos for OS X has replaced iPhoto in terms of your main Photo application.
    While iPhoto is still technically on your computer, it is not available as a separate download from the Mac App Store anymore, unless it is under your Purchased Tab in the Mac App Store
    You can import your iPhoto Library to Photos and all events (iPhoto Events), albums, etc. etc. will be the same.

  • PSE 6.0 will not display photo collage theme or layout

    I just purchased PSE 6.0 for imac on Tues.  I would like to use the photo collage option, but zero options work.  I installed it/uninstalled it and it still did not fix it.  It is in the process of downloading ADOBE BRIDGE CS3 WITH START MEETING 1.0.1.  I have waiting a day and a half for it to update, it will not finish the update.
    I have also called apple icare for support and they troubleshot everything and have determined that it is a software problem.
    Please help.  I have photos to finish.

    Could what be? Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking.
    First thing to try: quit PSE, then go to your hard drive>library>application support>Adobe>Photoshop Elements>6.0>Locale>en_US (that will be different if you aren't in the US) and delete mediaDatabase.db3. In the Photoshop Elements>6.0 folder level, also delete ThumbDatabase.db3. Note that these files are in the library folder at the top level of your hard drive, NOT in system>library or your username>library.
    Repair permissions and relaunch PSE. Let it sit for a few minutes without using the program to give the database time to rebuild. You can try once you see the icons appear in the Effects palette.

  • I am unable to upload any photos to photo sharing sites?

    For the last two days I have been unable to upload any photos regardless of size to a professional photo sharing website. I have tried everything possible such as disabling my Norton services, emptying the DNS cache, clearing all browers histories and all cookies. I've tried creating new accounts on the website and nothing has worked. I then tried to upload photos to another site and when the photo started to load it said that I lost internet connection yet I didn't. I am able to use my daughter's dell and can upload photos just fine on any site with her computer. I did a live chat with Norton and they ran me through a series of things as well and said it is something with my mac.  Does anyone have any suggestions???? I'm at a complete loss and beyond frustrated with this entire experience.

    Hi, Thank you so much for the info.... I really do appreciate it. We had the laptop updated by way of a system upgrade with RAM and an additional SSD drive. Once reconfigured all programs were reinstalled but Iphoto is not among them. Iphoto was on the laptop when purchased so we have no additional discs. Before the laptop was updated we backed the photos up to an extrenal hard drive so we have them, but cant access them. Could I purchase Iphoto 8 stll? Would this work? We would also require an external CD drive as we no longer have the disc drive in the laptop (I think the extra new bits took over). You may have noticed I have very limited knowledge on computers so any help dispite how simple it may sound to some would help me greatly. I just want all my photos back .... Thanks inadvance... Hope to hear soon x

  • Unable to view recent photos on my Mac in PSE 11 organizer

    unable to view recent photos on my Mac in PSE 11 organizer ..I see them in Iphoto not organizer..Please help

    On import, iPhoto copies photos into its library, which is proprietary to itself and should never be poked and prodded from outside iphoto or you run a strong risk of corrupting the library and losing your photos. So you eventually need to choose between iphoto and organizer.
    If you want to use iphoto, then you have two choices:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto to PSE, edit them, then save without changing the name or format (you may need to adjust the pse preferences>saving files>on first save), and iphoto will remember your last edits and the orginal. However, you must to lose the edited version to use the original again, and this method doesn't work well with raw files.
    2. Export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, user File>Open in the editor,  edit the photos, make all the changes to name and format that you like, save the photos and import them back to iphoto as new files.
    Or if you decide you prefer organizer, set the this iphoto preference to No Application and you can call up the photo downloader from within organizer, or just drag the photo with the images in it from the card to wherever you want to keept them:
    and of course you don't need to user either iphoto or organizer unless you want.

  • Create a photo collage canvas of 150 old scanned photos? Tips to increase efficiency?

    Hi there!
    I'm been asked to make a 150cm/100cm big high res canvas out of 150+ old photos scanned to digital JPEG's. Is there a way to do that without spending the next two years of my life dedicated to that task? (Joking aside)
    I have been handed 100 scanned jpeg's with 3-4 old photos on them (They put 3-4 old photos and placed upon a A4 sized paper and scanned in order to save time).
    1: So I have to rotoscope (Is that the name for photos?) and make a new layer out of each photo. Or is there a simpler way?
    2: Then I have place them correctly at the 150x100cm huge "canvas background".
    3: Edit: Found the "Auto Select" tool (Long time since I worked with photoshop, no doubt about that...)
    Some scanned photos are skewed. Is there a way to "Auto Rotate them when I press CTRL+J to make them separate layers?
    Also, I managed to rotate my workspace when I zoomed in on my trackpad, is there a way to rotate back to 90°? (Don't see any degree numbers)
    Any tips and tricks how to increase efficiency would be greatly appreciated!
    Regards

    Photo Collage Toolkit
    Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this A video showing a 5 image collage PSD template  being populates with images:
    The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
    Size the photo collage templates for the print size you want - width, height and print DPI resolution.
    Photo collage templates must have a Photoshop background layer. The contents of this layer can be anything.
    Photo collage templates must have alpha channels named "Image 1", "Image 2", ... "Image n".
    Photo collage templates layers above the background layers must provide transparent areas to let the images that will be placed below them show through.
    There are twelve scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
    TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
    CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
    LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
    InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
    ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
    ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
    PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
    BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
    BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
    BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
    PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.
    PCTpreferences.jsx - Edit This File to Customize Collage Populating scripts default setting and add your own Layer styles.
