    From within Photoshop Elements, when I try to open Editor, a box opens that states I must activate the software.  I registered and activated the software last year.  When I click to activate, I get a message that I am not connected to the internet.  I am connected.  How do I get Editor to work?

    You would get the redemption code, or perhaps even the serial number, from whomever you purchased the software from, apparently Amazon, so talk to them.  This wouldn’t be the first time they’ve sold something that didn’t have all the numbers needed to license it.
    A redemption code is something that is usually on the inner disc packaging if you purchase the media in a box, and there is a barcode on the outside of the packaging that must be scanned at the checkout register to activate the hidden inner code so you can redeem it at home on that website.  This is what happens if you buy PSE from a brick-and-mortar store like Best Buy.  I don’t’ know what happens if you purchase the downloaded version as I have never done that.
    A redemption code is 24-digits of letters and numbers that you enter into a website to get a serial number, once and only once.  The serial number of only 24-digits, no letters, is what you enter into the software during the install or when you run it and it asks if you want to register or run in a trial mode—whatever the exact phrasing is.
    In any case it sounds like you don’t have either a redemption code or serial number—although perhaps something is listed on the purchase confirmation or your account online at Amazon or even in an e-mail from Amazon.

  • In photoshop elements 12 i try to select multiple people to view in organize but can only select one

    in photoshop elements 12 i try to select multiple people to view in organize but can only select one person at a time.  if I try to select two or more people to see their pictures, I get nothing.  I try to use CTL-click, but that does not work

    Hi,
    Try switching to Media view and then go to Find -> By Details.
    Set the field to People and select the persons name.
    You add further people by clicking on the + sign
    The two options above the search criteria allow you to select all photos containing at least one or only ones with all of your selections.
    The search can be saved in case you want to repeat it a later time.
    Hope that helps

  • In photoshop elements 12 I try to delete a folder but the delete option is grayed out. how can I delete a folder from my catalogue?

    how can I delete folders from photoshop elements 12. the option to delete is grayed out an I don't know what the alternative options are

    Got it fixed!  The Folder was set to Open With Terminal!
    Maybe when you moved it over from your other system, the Open With got changed?  To change this, in your Finder, select the iPhoto library from your User/Pictures folder and do a Get Info on it Command+I.
    Then change the Open With to iPhoto application! 
    Then from the Finder, double click the iPhoto Folder and it will be opened with iPhoto!  WALLA it worked!

  • I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 trial version today, and I can barely do anything.

    I can open files, but I can't color anything or open a new layer. The options are grey and unclickable. I need help. I've tried restarting my computer and everything, but nothing works in Photoshop Elements.

    At the top of the PSE window click where it says Expert. Then all menu options will become available.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer crashes

    I purchased, downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac today.
    I launch the program and select Organizer, it crashes.
    If I select Editor, it loads fine.
    I looked at the installation and crash logs but cannot determine cause of problem
    I am not using any plug-ins other than what might be installed by adobe
    Steve Kay

    It could be that your catalog got corrupted somehow.
    Hold down your Shift key while launching the Organizer. This would open up the Catalog Manager.  Highlight your catalog at the bottom of the window, and choose "Repair" and then "Optimize".
    If that doesn't solve it, from the Catalog Manager, try creating a new catalog.
    If Organizer still fails to launch, try following steps –
    Delete the Organizer preferences [Organizer preferences are located at //Users/[Your User Account]/Library/Preferences/]
    Delete the file “com.Adobe.Elements Organizer.11.0.plist” from above location and relaunch the Organizer.
    Hope this would resolve your issue.

  • Photoshop elements editor Could not complete your request because fo a program error

    I am running PSE 8.0. On some of my photos I cannot save the image.
    Even if I do no editing on the photo and just do a "save as" in a completely
    different folder I get the error message Could not complete your request
    because of a program error.
    I have set the RAM preferences to 1100MB and the history states to 20.
    What is the program error?
    Looking at the discussion forum, this problem has been there since 2007.
    Doesn't Adobe fix its software?

    I would suggest you to reset the preferences file of photoshop elements and then try. Follow these steps
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.

  • How do I Reinstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 on Windows 8

    How do I Reinstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11

    You could try downloading from here
    https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-10-11-downloads.html
    Download and save both files to the same folder then double click on the file2 (a .exe file)  to start the unpack of the other file. May take a little while to get going.
    Or you could copy the contents of the DVD to a memory stick on the PC with the DVD drive and then use that.

  • Can lens correction be applied to Photoshop Elements 12

    I have recently decided to get into Drone Photography.  I have a DJI Phantom 2 Plus video and have recently purchased Photoshop Elements 12; there is "fish eyeing" that I would like to be able to correct.  Is there a way to upgrade my current version, or does this version have that ability somewhere  I cannot find?

    In the photoshop elements 12 editor try Filter>Correct Camera Distortion
    It's for doing manual corrections and won't do anything automatic.

  • Can't access Photoshop Elements 12 from Organizer

    I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 13 for video and using the organizer that came with it.  I also edit photos in the organizer with my Photoshop Elements 12.  However, when I click on edit from the organizer it wants me to buy Photoshop Elements 13 or try it for 30 days.  How can I use my Photoshop Elements 12 for photo editing from the organizer?

    Hi,
    Each version of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements are designed to work independently from other versions. That is why Adobe sell the package with both applications at a reduced cost.
    You could set up your version 13 organizer to use Photoshop Elements 12 editor as a supplementary editor - see Edit -> Preferences -> Editing. Then, when you are in the Elements 13 organizer and want to edit a photo, you would select Editor -> External Editor.
    However, there are a few problems that you need to be aware of. The Photoshop Elements 12 editor will only talk to a Elements 12 organizer so you may have to uncheck the "Include in Elements organizer" option when saving in the editor. The new image will not, by default, appear in your Elements 13 organizer - you may be able to use watch folders. The new image will not appear in a version stack - you could manually stack it.
