Adding cookie cutter shapes to Photoshop Elements 7.0

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0, and I was wondering if there was a way to add cookie cutter shapes to the images the program already comes with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

In addition to suggesting that David post the Photoshop Elements part of his upgrade question on this forum, I had posted some comments in his original thread over on the Premiere Elements forum. I will repeat those comments here so that others on this forum can make comments against my recommendations.
In general I think that your PSE 3 tags and collections will be carried forward when your catalog is upgraded from PSE 3 to PSE 7. What were "Collections" in PSE 3 will become "Albums" in PSE 7.
Now it is very important that in the PSE 3 Organizer BEFORE your catalog is upgraded, you do
-- Reconnect All Missing Files
-- Catalog Recover
These commands are available from the File menu of the PSE 3 Organizer. They "clean up" your existing PSE 3 catalog and a clean catalog can avoid many potential problems during the upgrade process.
You did not ask about any "Creations" in PSE 3 and I do not think the Creations (Slide Show or Photo Book is an example of a creation) will carry forward from PSE 3 to PSE 7. So it is good if the info that you do need is the PSE 3 Collection rather than a PSE 3 Creation.
Here are some Adobe techdoc references about upgrade to PSE 7 Organizer
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb404990
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb404991
and in general I would scan the list of top issues techdocs at
http://www.adobe.com/support/photoshopelements/
The 2 I suggested above are on that list.
Be aware that the format and folder locations of the PSE catalog changed significantly between PSE 5 and PSE 6 (the 1st techdoc discuses this), so as you are migrating from PSE 3 to PSE 7 there will be some difference and how much you notice differences may depend on how deep you went in to PSE 3. The second techdoc, which discusses placing the PSE catalog in a non-standard folder location is one example of such a case. I say this not to scare you, but instead to make you aware of the potential for differences if there is initially a glitch in the upgrade process on your system.

  • Cookie Cutter Tool in Photoshop Elements 11

    I am unable to make a shape from a photo using the Cookie Cutter Tool. I duplicated the photo. Clicked on cookie cutter icon. Created shape. Clicked on green check mark. The new layer is transparent. I cannot make the shape appear. Thanks. Helen

    Hi Joe,
    Thanks so much for your response.
    The shape does not appear on the duplicate layer once I click the green check mark.
    I clicked the eye symbol on the original layer per your suggestion. The second layer is a checker board, which I understand indicates transparency.
    The shape does not show at all in this second (duplicate) layer.
    I know this will be a V-8 moment once I realize what I have done. Thanks again.

  • Custom cookie cutter shape install in PSE 11?

    I need some help. I've spent 2 hours online and I can't find an answer. I need a cookie cutter of a full bow tie. Not the outline one like the one tha's pre-installed in PSE shapes/cookie cutter.
    1. How/where do I look for more cookie cutter shapes? What are they called in search?
    2. How do I install them?
    3. How do I find them once installed so that I can cookie cutter out bow ties out of patterened papers?

    You can download the set from here:
    https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=ewmHSvnhLbOkFs64X2BHpg
    Just unzip the Bowties.zip and copy the Bowties.csh to
    windows operating system:
    C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\11.0\Presets\Custom Shapes
    mac operating system:
    /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Presets/Custom Shapes
    Start or restart pse 11 and they should be listed in the Cookie Cutter and Custom Shapes lists

  • Adding and changing text in Photoshop elements

    Hello- I just downloaded photoshop elements for mac.  Can anyone tell me why when I use the type tool to add text to a photo, the text appears really small, even when I try to change the text size, which indicates it is maxed out at a size of 72?

    Possibly you are working on an image with a very high resolution.
    Simply type a value manually, over 100 straight into the box with 72.

  • I'am having trouble with Photoshop Elements 12

    In Photo Elements 12 I can open the organizer but  not the Editor. I am afraid that if I uninstall and install again I will loose what I have edited on certain photos. Please help, I need to edit a few pictures and I can't do so.  Once I open it,
    it says Photoshop Elements 12 Editor has stopped working, then Windows starts looking for a solution for the problem, at the end it says, " A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I hit the close program button and it just closes all out. HELP PLEASE!

  • Photoshop element 13 crashing after os upgrade on my mac. Told upgrade not compatible, anyone having this problem?

    So yeah... Had an update for OS X Yosemite.  The new "Photo" app was added instead of "iPhoto".  Photoshop Element 13 was working fine before and now when I try to open to pull from either one of my photo files photoshop crashes.  Apple said to contact Adobe.  Not compatible and need an upgrade for compatibility.  Anyone experiencing this? Frustrated....

  • Moving Photoshop Elements 9 to New Computer

    We had been using Photoshop Elements 9 on a Windows computer.  It died and was replaced with a Mac. The Mac also runs Windows in a virtual environment when needed, and it has the disc drive from the former Windows computer installed. 
    We cannot get Photoshop to run.  meanwhile, we have the disc and box, but we don't know how to load Photoshop again without a disc drive on the Mac.  meanwhile, it seems like everything should already be on the had disk drive that is attached.
    Help appreciated.  My daughter has a school project that needs photoshop.

    do not move/migrate any adobe programs including pse.
    install pse using the mac install file on your disk.  or download the install file using the below info.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Default brushes

    On the "Learn Photoshop Elements Today! A DVD Training Course for Elements 11" many of the tutorials show in the default brushes a brush stroke that tapers to a point at the beginning and ending of the brush stroke.  I cannot find or create this brush type.  Where do I find it?

    This is what Jan Walker said last year in one of the forums that I don't remember:
    Photoshop Elements—Windows: How to Install Brushes
                Here's the installation path for adding Brushes (.abr files) to Photoshop Elements, all versions
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements (your version)\Presets\Brushes
    However, we recommend not installing them at all. Lots of us keep our brush files in a file on our computer and simply load the brushes as we need to use them. Loading brushes this way instead of installing them keeps Photoshop Elements from being over-burdened with too much stuff to load when you open it, thus slowing it down.
    To load your brushes as need them, simply open the Brush Picker, click on the right facing triangle at the top to open a flyout menu, and choose Load Brushes. When the dialog box comes up, navigate to the brushes folder on your hard drive and double click on the brush set you want to load. The brush set will load and will stay there until you change brushes.
    Using the Preset Manager
    If you want the new brush set to show up without the default brushes disappearing, you can load them from the Preset Manager.
    •     Choose Edit > Preset Manager.
    •     Click on Append.
    •     Navigate to the brush set you want to load and double click on it.
    •     You can add other brushes if you wish by clicking Add.
    •     When you're finished, click Done.
    •     Open the Brush Picker and scroll to the bottom below the default brushes to see the new brushes you loaded.
    Good luck.

  • I am using Photoshop Elements 11.  Do all .jpg formatted file have to be retangular in shape?  I want to create an oval .jpg picture to insert into a book.  Haven't been able to do so.  It would work if I could make the area outside the oval completely tr

    I am using Photoshop Elements 11.  Do all .jpg formatted file have to be retangular in shape?  I want to create an oval .jpg picture to insert into a book.  Haven't been able to do so.  It would work if I could make the area outside the oval completely transparent.  Can anyone help me here?

    JPG does not support transparency, so even if you create an oval with transparent background, the saved JPG will have white background. Instead, save it as a PNG, TIFF, or GIF which preserve the transparency.
    Here is one of many ways to create your oval:
    Create a new file the approximate size of the oval. Add the oval with the Custom Shape Ellipse tool, and simplify the shape layer.
    In the Layers Palette, Ctrl-click the oval to select it and copy the selection to the clipboard (Edit > Copy).
    Then do File > New from Clipboard. This creates the oval with transparent background cropped to the oval size.
    Then save it as one of the file types that support transparency (and also supported by the application where you are sending the picture to).
    Note:  Is is not even necessary to do step 2. That is only if some reason you want the oval to be tightly cropped. It is sufficient to delete the Background layer in step 1 (or turn off its visibility) and save the file. The oval will appear correctly in the book with either version.

    Hello,
    I recommend you contact AT&T's dedicated BB Support staff (call their front line, request escalation to BB Support) and have them check to be sure that your account with them is correctly configured for this device. Sometimes when switching devices things don't fully automatically move behind the scenes, and only they (ATT) can validate that.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • My photo albums added to Mobile albums have all photos older then 1970 showing dates (in Photoshop elements) of 12/31/1969 6:59 PM [was: 12/31/1969]

    argggh.   Not sure if this bug is new with Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 or existed in 12 which I skipped.  My photo albums added to Mobile albums have all photos older then 1970 showing dates (in Photoshop elements) of 12/39/1969 6:59 PM.   This is a pain.  Not sure if it will scree up the date taken values which at least for now seems to be valid in the Metadata.

    Hi,
