Adding new backgrounds to Photoshop Elements 11

Hi I have recently purchase Photoshop Elements 11 and i am wanting to transfer all my backgrounds and graphics to the program.  I located the Photo Creations folder and pasted my backgrounds in the "Backgrounds' folder but when going back into the program they are not showing.  Could someone please let me know what i am doing wrong, thankyou

I am wanting to do this as well.  I had more graphics and backgrounds in PSE9 than in this v11 - and I really want to add those back to v11.  I am replying so we can get this back up to the top and maybe get an answer.  How do we get the graphics from previous versions back in PSE11 and add additional graphics as well?
Anyone know how to do this??

    how do i make a transparent background in Photoshop Elements 13

    Open the picture file
    Use one of the selection tools to select the foreground
    Place the selection on its own layer (Layer>New>Layer via copy or CTRL+J) - this will be Layer 1
    Delete the background layer
    If you want to save it, use a file format which supports transparency, e.g.PNG

It then keeps taking me back to this page. Im not sure where to go next

    if you have a win os you should have dl'd an exe and a 7z file.
    put both in the same directory and double click the exe.

  • Do I have to buy a new version of Photoshop Elements (have Elements 10) just to upload RAW files from my new Olympus E-M10?

    I have Photoshop Elements 10.  It appears that I need a plugin to upload RAW files and the plugin necessary for my new Olympus E-M10 is not compatible with version 10.  Am I getting this right?  Do I have to buy a new version of Photoshop Elements just to upload RAW files from my new Olympus E-M10?  Otherwise, what I have is all that I need.

    Which operating system are you using?
    If your using mac os x 10.6 (snow leopard) or windows xp or vista, then the below solution will not work and you shouldn't try to install the dng converter 8.5
    You could use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert your files to dng copies which should then open in pse 10.
    windows:
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.5
    mac:
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.5

  • Can newer versions of Photoshop Elements still read PE 2.0 files?

    Can newer versions of Photoshop Elements still read PE 2.0 files?

    Some of the less popular formats, such as JPEG2000 and EPS have since been dropped, but standard JPEGS, TIFFS, PSD, GIF, PNG, BMP, PDF should all open in PSE12. There is a free plug-in if you do have JPEG2000 files that you want to open.

  • Problem with collection names getting replaced when creating new collections in Photoshop Elements 5.0

    We have been using Photoshop Elements 5.0 a lot lately to organize many photos into collections.  A new problem just arose when creating a new collection.
    As we named the new collection and clicked on "OK" it replaced another existing collection with the new name.  The photos from the old collection were still there but now under the new collection name.  This happened at least three or four times, each time a different "old" collection was renamed.  Does anyone know why this would happen?
    This past week we have added at least 20 new collections with no problem prior to this.  Adobe actually had to shut down when this happened.  Each time we reopened Adobe it would happen again randomly renaming a different "old" collection when we tried to add the new one.  Any insights would be much appreciated.

    Thank you - that was the problem and now it is working correctly
    again!

  • New features in Photoshop Elements 12 ?.

    Photoshop Elements has come a long way since it replaced Photoshop 5 LE back in 2001.  It however still lacks many of the more professional features of Photoshop Creative Cloud such as 16 Bit Editing, CMYK color mode and soft-proofing.  It also has a number of watered down or simplified features like the slider depended Adjust Color Curves and Photomerge Exposure rather than HDR editing.  With Photoshop Elements 12 expected to be released in September what new features or functionally would you most like to be added to the new version ?.

    A few thoughts related to the Organizer portion:
    Comments for tags.  The ‘keyword tags’ in all the versions I’ve used allows you to enter comments about the tag.  However, version 11 introduced ‘people tags’ – but that did not include the ability to enter comments about the ‘people tags.’  For myself, I found the comment field to be very valuable.  I used them regularly to add notes about who barely-recognizable distant-relatives were, and how they were related to me, etc.  I would love to see a comment field added to the ‘people tags.’
    Default location for PSE Catalog.  By default, Elements places the catalog in the \ProgramData\ folder (on Windows machines).  The problem is that few users would think to backup this folder as part of routine backup procedures, unless they were backing up the full hard disk.  And, most of the consumer backup utilities (and services, e.g. Carbonite) generally have defaults to only backup the \users\{username}\ folder structure.  As a result, for users who are diligent about doing regular backups, there is a pretty good chance that they are not backing up this very critical file.  Compounding this is the fact that the process to move the catalog to another folder is far from intuitive.  It is virtually impossible to figure out from the user-interface itself.  As I’ve wanted to move the catalog location with each new version of the release, I’ve had to spend considerable time searching the web and Adobe knowledgebase to find out how to do it.  It would be great if 1) the default location was in the \users\{username}\ folder structure, and/or 2) the user could change the location during the installation process, and/or 3) the process for changing the location after installation was simpler and more intuitive
    Comments/Captions.  In Windows, there are several pieces of information associated with each picture file (e.g. date taken, camera type, dimensions, etc.).  The comments field is one that I use to enter information about the image (names, locations, events, etc.).  I’ve been doing since before my use of PSE.  It would be great if PSE could grab this information when doing a media import and store it as the PSE caption information.
    Folder hierarchy view.  In version 11, the folder-tree pane on the left side of the Organizer only shows folders that have been imported into PSE.  In previous versions, the folder-tree showed 'all' folders - and those that had not been imported to PSE were greyed out.  I found the view in pervious versions to be very helpful, as it served to let me know which directories I had not yet imported.  With the interface in version 11, I either 1) have to make more of a manual effort (comparing my actual folder-tree with that I see in PSE), or 2) rely on memory to realize that PSE is not showing me pictures that I have.
    I'm looking forward to the new version.

  • Where can I get photos  on line to use as backgrounds for Photoshop Elements 9 ?

    I have some pictures that iI took @ Walt Disney World  that I would like to have new backgrounds. I have downloaded some from on line but when I try to fit them for the background they become blurred. Is there a site that I can download photos ? Is there a  requirement about what size & how many pixels are needed? I'm using Photoshop Elements 9 .

    If you Google for free photos for download, you will get many hits.
    The problem is that they are usually low resolution, resulting in a suboptimal presentation with your high resolution foreground.
    Another consideration is the copyright issue.
    I usually make my own background in this type of situation. However, in full editor, open the content palette. In the drop-down select "by type" and in the drop-down to the right select "backgrounds".
    If you are so inclined, post one of your pictures here for targeted suggestions.

  • Installing a new version of Photoshop Elements

    Should I uninstall my current version of Photoshop Elements (7) before installing my new version (9)?

    I installed PSE9 without uninstalling 7. I can't explain how we did it but we have two catalogs now in 9. One is "My Catalog" which was the name for the catalog we have had since we started using PSE. We somehow created a new catalog "My Catalog-2012". It is shown as the Current Catalog in 9. When we downloaded some new pictures, they went into the new catalog. I have two questions:
    1. There are pictures missing from the catalog we had in 7. In other words, 9 did not get all the pictures from 7. How do we get the missing ones?
    2. Before we go any further, should we uninstall 9 and reinstall so that we don't have two catalogs? Or is there any issue in having two catalogs that have the same pictures (ignoring the new pictures we just downloaded)?
