Adobe Elements 10 question

could some one please tell me how to crop a person, say in a sports pose, so I can overlay just the person(no original background) onto another background?Thank you in advance.
Paul

A really simple method is to use the quick selection tool to outline a person or object in a photo. Holding down the alt key changes the tool action from plus to minus - so you can perfect your selection as you go along (e.g. if you accidentally select part of the background)
When you are happy with your selection of the person or object press Ctrl+J - this will automatically create a new transparent layer with your selection as shown by the checkerboard background.
You can then add any other picture or background - here I’ve used a simple green background to illustrate the point by selecting Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color
I then clicked on the transparent layer in the layer pallet and dragged it to the top - to reveal the green background behind my person selection.
I then selected the hand tool and the bounding box appeared - by holding down the shift key you can drag the corner handles or sides of the bounding box to resize and then click the green checkmark to confirm OK. You can then drag the image to any position in the frame of your chosen background. Save as PSD to keep your layers for later or click Layer > Flatten Image to save as Jpeg.

Adobe Elements 9 Slideshow to VCD and WMV: AWFUL Quality and No Slides Appear

I have just creating a long slideshow (~335 high quality slides) replete with music. I converted it to a wmv file which resulted in a movie in which ONLY the opening slide is displayed. The music plays but no other pictures appear. Great.
I also created a VCD fromt the "Output" option on the Slideshow screen. The VCD works sorta, but the picture quality is AWFUL. The slides look like little thumbnails blown up 10,000%.   I have high quality images in (what I thought was a) high quality slide show.
The slideshow looks fine in Adobe Elements 9. What happened???
Is this typical for AE9 or am I missing something???

Update:
I exited and restarted the program and tried the output options again. The *.wmv file works now but the VCD is still lousy quality. I tried the AE9 option to create a VCD with menus, but I can't find those menus on the finished VCD. The VCD size is 250MB; my 335 slides should be close to 600 MB based on the size of the origianl pictures; no wonder the picture quality is terrible on the VCD. Is there a way to convert the slide show to a VCD and control (improve) the quality? The wmv file is 188MB, which is also too small, and i have that specified as max. quality. As I said, it does look better than the VCD.   How can I export this slide show in max. quality?
Thanks.
Update Again,
I realized that NONE of the wmv files I created from my slideshow in AE9 have worked. The music background is fine, but the slides progress to a certain point and then they don't change again. The show is stuck on a slide about half way thru. This is awful. The VCD's have the same type of problem in addition to the quality issue.
Thoughts?

Adobe Elements 11 Organizer

In Apr 2013 I downloaded Adobe Elements Organizer. I can't get it to work. I paid $109.49 for it and never could use it. Did I download the wrong thing? And what can I do about it?

Helgataifun wrote:
Nowhere in my files do I have a file that is just called Adobe Elements 11.
The reason for that is because there is no such application. I'll repeat that - "there is no product called Adobe Elements 11"
You could have bought:
Photoshop Elements 11 - which contains Photoshop Elements 11 and the Elements Organizer
or
Premiere Elements 11 - which contains Premiere Elements 11 and the Elements Organizer
or
Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 11 bundle - which contains Photoshop Elements 11, Premiere Elements 11 and the Elements Organizer.
Check your online order details and tell us which it was you bought (DON'T post any serial numbers here though).
From your description of what happens when you clicked on the Video / Photo Editor options you currently have installed Photoshop Elements and the Elements Organizer.
Your actual problem is nothing to do with the application installations, but the fact that the file you imported into the Organizer is no longer in the location it was in when you imported it.
This could be because you moved it somewhere else using your OS file system, deleted it, or it was on a memory card, USB thumbdrive, or removable hard drive that is either no longer connected, or now has a different drive letter than when it was originally connected.
In the Organizer select Find> All Missing Files and let the Organizer search your computer for them (that could take a while). If it finds them let it reconnect them for you. You should then be able to edit them by right-clicking the thumbnail and selecting "Edit with Photoshop Elements Editor".
Possibly one other misconception - you may be thinking that if you open the Editor all your photos are visible there for editing. That is not how it works - to edit a file you have to open it either from the Organizer (as described above) or in the editor with the File> Open dialog.
Hope this helps to explain things a little better. Try and find your files to edit and come back to us if you still have difficulties.

Problems installing Adobe Elements 4.0

Wow, do I love my Macbook Pro. No waiting to order it. Got it 3 weeks ago at the Apple Store. No noise, no problem installing my old files .etc.
However, tonight I tried to install Adobe Elements 4 two times. Both times at the last seconds of installing I get a message to try installing again. Is this a known issue with intel Macs? Or do I have defective software?
Thanks for any info about this.

is it best I pair the upgrade and just put another 512 MB in second slot, or can I put 1 or 2 gig in that slot and get dual channel performance?
That's a good question which often leads to a lot of debate. Most benchmarks show the effect of dual channel is minimal, probably because with most applications memory is not the bottleneck, other sub-systems like the hard drive or graphics are.
It really depends on what you're going to do with the computer: if a lot of Elements 4 work under Rosetta with many windows open etc. I think you'd be well served by going to 2GBs of RAM. If intensive use like that will be minimal, and mostly you're going to "iLife it up," e-mail, surfing, etc. then you'd probably be happy adding another 512MB. Over time as more programs go Universal the overhead imposed by Rosetta will be less & less of an issue.
When shopping be sure to check out OWC (Other World Computing) for their pricing on genuine Samsung memory (I'm not a fan of their "no name" brand). Apple uses a lot of Samsung itself, as well as Micron which you can buy from Crucial.com. Others will have their own favorites to recommend, of course.

Adobe Elements 9 won't open new project.

My version of Adobe Elements 9, bought in April 2011 for my PC with Windows 7, won't allow me to open a new project. All I get is a greyed out prompt that won't go anywhere. It will open a prior project. I haven't used the program in about 9 months. This is the video part of the pacage, not Photshop, which seems to function fine. (Although at the advice of a for pay tech advice forum I reinstalled it afater deleting several of it's directories.) I have reinstalled Elements, updated the flash player and run an Elements 9 update. Ideas?

Is my graphics card ok to edit video on adobe elements

I am about to purchase a new computer with the following spec:
Model
AW25
Motherboard
Asus P8H77-V LE
In-built audio
CPU
Intel core i5 3570 quad core 3.4ghz
Memory
8gb ddr3 xms3
System HD
500gb WD caviar 7200 rpm
Audio HD
2TB WD caviar 7200rpm +£60
Windows OS
7 home premium 64 bit
Graphics card
1Gb Asus GT 610
and have the following questions:
Am I right to say that if I want to use Adobe elements 11 only for editing video, this graphics card will be ok. I realise its not as powerful as the GTX range but I’m not looking to upgrade to Adobe premiere pro as elements seems more than suitable to my requirements
Because Adobe elements doesn’t make use of the GPU aspect of graphics cards, the relatively low CUDA for the GT 610 (48 CUDA if you're interested) won’t be an issue.
I apologise for these newbie questions but just want to ensure I’m not making a mistake and would be grateful for any assistance. The reason I can’t request a GTX card is that the above spec is for a music PC and the GT 610 is mandatory. If this spec processes video then that would be a great bonus for me and I just want to confirm this.
Many thanks for any assistance
Video Newbie

Also, I would make sure that you go to the nVidia Web site, plug in your card's model #, and your OS, and verify that you have the latest nVidia video driver installed. Do NOT trust your OS, or any utility, to tell you if you have the latest version - be sure to go to the nVidia site.
Good luck,

IPhoto as Library and Adobe Elements Organizer as download client

I wanted to use Adobe Elements 9 Organizer as the download client as I can actually see image files saved and grouped by folders and iPhoto as library and creative authoring.
Will using iPhoto to create library from Pictures Folder (those saved by Elements Organizer) duplicate the photos that are already in that folder? I kind think that iPhoto will copy those photos into its own. I worry about duplicating the JPEG files in my Pictures Folder.
Thanks.

I'm with Larry when he says to pick one horse and ride it. This can get quite confusing very quickly.
To answer your specific question:
Will using iPhoto to create library from Pictures Folder (those saved by Elements Organizer) duplicate the photos that are already in that folder
By default, yes, but you can set iPhoto not to. But note: a: What Happens when you do - for instance, that various versions of the files will not be available except through iPhoto, which will confuse your proposed system, and b: The various caveats to running a Referenced Library.
*How to do it:*
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
*What Happens:*
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
*Some things to consider:*
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
My own opinion:
I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organiser
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
*An Alternative*
Set Elements as an External Editor in iPhoto: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.

Is Adobe Elements 8 on the Decline?

Recently I purchased both Adobe Elements 8 and Premier 8. So far I am totally dissatisfied with them. In the past I used Elements 2 and 5 so was expecting at least some improvement. At least version 5 had a meager manual - version 8 has nothing. Of course Adobe is very willing to SELL you a manual ("book"), but I think that a warning should be placed on the outside of the box (much like a cigarette warning) that No documentation is included but is available for an additional cost.
An included sheet in the Adobe box claims that you get Photo Essentials to be able to perform 5 essential tasks in Adobe Elements at a cost equal to that of buyng Elements 8 in the first place. Are these features absent in Elements 8? If so, why sould I buy Elements 8 when what I should have purchased all along is Photo Essentials. Otherwise, why should Adobe push for you to buy another fuill product?
One of the main features in Elements 5 is to be able to easily print multiple different images on the same sheet (not conact sheet, but print package) by using the "Multiple Print" tab. That feature is now gone. I would estimate 95% of users print multiple different images on a sheet. Is this one of the purposes for purchasing Photo Essentials - to be able to have multiple print capability?
No documentation available, no multiple print capability, and I have not even searched yet for other Elements 8 reductions, nor will I do so at this time. I guess I won't even look at Premier 8. This product will be un-installed and put on the shelf. I'll return to Elements 5 and Photoscape, a FREE software package which rivals Elements 8 (and has lots of FREE documentation).
I know that Elements fanatics mwill blast this post, but I have olny two questions for them. Am I the only one encountering problems which this package (according to this forum, I'chm not), and second is what I have stated in here wrong? If I am wrong, I'll reinstall and check the product again.

Multiple Files/picture package/contact sheets: Start from the Organizer and you'll find them under Select Type of Print->Select Layout in the print window.
OnOne is a completely separate company that put an ad in the box, the same way you often find flyers for other products in the box when you buy software.
You do realize that this is a user to user forum? If you want to be sure someone from adobe sees your comments, click Contact at the top of the web page and then the Feedback tab.
You can download a complete pdf of the help for either the editor or the organizer. Start here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/photoshopelements/
Click the name of the component you want, then you'll see a link to download the pdf near the top of the page that opens. You'll need to do it separately for editor and organizer.

Is Adobe Elements 10 compatable with Mac OX version 10.9.2 ?

Is Adobe Elements 10 compatable with Mac OX version 10.9.2 ?
I have just bought a new Mac and would like to know if Elements 10 will work on it please.

flon
I am strictly an Elements Windows user but try to find common ground between Premiere Elements Windows and Mac to give a viable response to Premiere Elements Mac questions.
On this one, I suspect that the bottom line is going to be "try it" and see what happens in your specific computer environment.
Please review the discussion in the following thread
Re: Premiere Elements 10 crashes on disc templates
Also, you are in for major display problems with Premiere Elements 10 on a computer that uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card.
There the fix is to roll back the driver version to May 2013 in order to get Premiere Elements 10 to function properly.
Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome when your schedule permits.
Thank you.

Hi, Steve.
I know I didin't say a lot of things... in fact, I don't know a lot about my cpu. I'll try to answer the questions I can, hope it can be helpful!
I have Vista (Familial Premium), a T3400. I am on a 32-bit.
I dont know if it's the RAM, but I have 2.0 Go of memory.
And for the space in my CPU, it's not a problem. I have an external hard disc, with lots and lots of space in it!
And I didin't downloaded the patch yet. But the fact is the problem just occured a few days ago. Before, everything was always fine...
Thanks in advance!

Why does Adobe Elements 12 destroy my Olympus makernotes section of the metadata

I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Elements 12 and pointed it to a test folder with some of my Olympus OM-D E-M1 photos. I viewed the file properties from within Elements which showed all of the camera info, exposure, aperture, lens used, camera make and model etc..... I then added a couple faces with the facial recognition, added some captions saved it to the Metadata and then went back in to look at the file properties from within Elements. All of the makernotes were screwed up. I no longer see the lens, exposure or any of the camera data. What's up with this? I verified it by running EXIFTool and it shows that the makernotes now has corrupt info that EXIFtool can not read - this ends up being stuff that Elements added in.
Doesn't anyone care about camera maker notes? Doesn't anyone use this information? I like being able to go back and look at a picture I really like and see exactly what lens I was using, focal length it was set to, and all of the other camera settings at the time of the exposure. It helps me learn and improve my skills. Doesn't anyone else do this?
Is there any software out there that does NOT destroy this information?

If your User Account already had your user name and the word Administrator under that, then no need to do anything. Just exit out of there. But, if there was no Administrator showing in the User Account thumbnail, then Administrative Priviledges have to be added to the User Account that you are using for Premiere Elemetns. But, let me ask you this, how many User Accounts thumbnails do you find in that User Account area?
1. Did you get the following done yet in which we assure that the Folder Option is set to "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives"? Can you follow that path to Folder Options?
Windows 7 64 bit.
a. Click on the Start Button.
b. In the Search field directly above the Start Button, type in Folder Options.
c. Then look to the top of that left column where you should see the words Folder Options to click on.
d. Click on Folder Options to open the Folder Options dialog where you click on its View Tab.
e. Scroll down in the list under the View Tab until you get to the "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drive" option.
Then click its circle to dot it to make it your choice. Then click OK to exit that area.
I do not think that we ever confirmed 32 or 64 bit Windows 7. Those were Windows 7 64 bit instructions. If finding computers locations with the 64 bit computer instruction is a problem, we may not be able to ignore the 32 or 64 bit question and have to find the answer. But, let us see if you can find Folder Options with the Windows 7 64 bit details above.
After we get the above matters settled, then we will go about finding and deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and maybe also the 9.0 Folder in which it exists. Then, to do that, we will use the instructions given previously, that is,
Let us try the deletion of the settings file (named Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs) and then maybe the 12.0 Folder in which it exists.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9.0
and in the 9.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists.
That is the plan.
We will be watching for your progress.
Thanks.
ATR
You say that you are at Folder Options. Did you confirm that you have a dot next to Folder Option "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives"?
If so, then it is time to go through the second part of post 16 and delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file (and, if necessary) the whole 9.0 Folder in which it exists.
That is the plan for today. Please let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

My newly adobe element premiere 13 is offline what should i do?

my adobe premiere 13 cannot import a HD video format

obz production
I do not get the connection between "adobe element premiere 13 is offline" and "my adobe premiere 13 cannot import a HD video format".
The answers will be in the details, so please supply the details necessary for us to help you.
Some of the questions that need answers...
1. What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
2. With few exceptions, your computer does not need to be connected to the Internet to run Premiere Elements 13. You do for product activation and then later for first time use of certain features. Are you getting any MPEG2 Activation messages or something like that? Are you offline because you choose not to connect to the Internet or because your Internet service is not working?
3. What are the properties of this HD video that you cannot import into Premiere Elements?
Video compression
Audio compression
Frame Size
Frame Rate
Interlaced or Progressive
File Extension
Pixel Aspect Ratio
Much of that information can be interred by knowing the brand/model/settings for the camera that recorded the video.
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements?
Let us start here and then we can decide what next. If you are new to the program or video editing and do not understand the questions
or do not have the answers, we will help you with that.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

There are a couple of timesaving tricks. Open an image and go to Layer> New Adjustment Layer> Brightness/Contrast.
Click in the box that has the number at the right-hand end of the brightness slider. Now you can use the scroll wheel to increase/decrease the brightness.Hover the mouse over the word Brightness at the left-hand end of the brightness slider and the cursor will change to a double headed arrow with a pointing finger and hand in the middle. Now click and hold the left mouse button. Move the mouse left/right to decrease/increase the brightness level. Cheers,

Adobe Element Licensing in disaster recovery

Hi,
We have Adobe Element installed locally on various pc's in our company. We are currently designing a DR solution and an am interested in how to successfully implement this with Adobe Elements V2. We are proposing loading Adobe Elements in a DR Citrix farm.
Reading through the EULA, you can either
1) Run Elements locally or
2) Assign the elements license to a device and have that device access Elements through citrix.
If we install elements in DR citrix environment, would we then have to re-purchase Adobe Element license for every device that could access Elements, as we have used up our install license by installing them locally??
David

i guess the main question is do you want to define this license server as a secondary RDS license in your GPO or will you manually change the GPO option in the event of a DR? is this DR site actively accessible or it will only become available once
DR has been invoked?
as for compliance...not sure how that would work, you would probably use the same license activation on your DR as you would in your production but whether that's abiding by the EULA is something I've never encountered to answer, someone else here might
know
