Adobe Photoshop Elements 10-HELP!!

I 'm have difficulty finding the serial number to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.  I would appreciate some help if it is available.
I have search all morning for the serial number for Adobe Photoshop Elements 0 purchased at a box store.  I followed the directions on back of package; but found no help in the search.  I did find several sights on line my computer warned "STOP" "DANGER".  I do not appreciate these threats.  In fact I now wonder if Adobe is a legitamate business or just another sight to steal money or ID's.

If you bought the disc version of PSE, your serial number is the 24 digit number on a sticker on the lower left back of the plastic case.
The websites you have been visiting are those that host bogus numbers for illegal copies of adobe products. Adobe doesn't control them--believe me, they'd love to wipe them out completely.
EDIT Did you buy PSE at Best Buy, by any chance? They do it a bit differently, if so.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 HELP PLEASE

    I have never been so frustrated with an Adobe product in my life. I just "upgraded" from Elements 10 to Elements 12- and I use the term "Upgraded" loosely, because quite frankly I can't get 12 to do Anything that I want to.
    1. How do you pin the toolbars (tool options) and taskbars to the TOP of the editor like they were in Elements 10? Having the items on the bottom is a nightmare and I have to keep constantly scrolling to find what I need instead of just clicking and using it.
    2. Why are the photos so pixelated and grainy looking? I have 6-12 mb photos that look like they're 50kb photos that have been blown up to 8x10 size. How is someone supposed to edit or add to a photo when it looks so grainy to begin with at 25-60%? If you reduce a large photo to 15% you can't even tell what it's supposed to be! It's as though it's trying to resize the image to display it for web instead of showing the actual pixel size, etc. How do I fix this, the other versions of photoshop did not ruin photos like this . . .
    For example- load a photo- it looks like hell, it's all grainy and pixelated. If you click on "Add glow" it will take the same photo and remove the pixelation and display in 4x6 or 8x10 size, etc and be clear as a bell. Why does it pixelate the dang photos- I am so completely frustrated with this, adobe 10 does NOT ruin photos like this when you're trying to edit them!!!
    If you choose "Fit screen" you cannot edit the photo because you can't tell what the item really looks like. You have to literally save it, open it with a different program altogether and then look to see whether it needs more edits.
    3. How do you add text in a custom shape?
    4. How do you change the transparency of a custom shape?
    5. Can you change the color of the background of Elements 12? Right now it is a putrid Gray color that washes out the colors of the photos and is extremely distracting when trying to edit photos.
    Thanks in advance, I am so ready to pack up this program and ship it back right at the moment!!!

    Further to Barbara's comments:
    2. There have been a few posts about the initial preview. Apparently the algorithm was changed in PSE11 from Bicubic Sharper to plain Bicubic (which is faster). The workaround was to change display view to 100%. Any subsequent changes to the view then display properly. There was also some suggestion that the initial preview was based on a thumbnail - but there seemed to be some disagreement as to whether that was correct or not. Note though that displaying at anything other than 100% is going to be scaled and not representative of your true pixels.
    5. I think the background colour change may be Mac specific. It doesn't work for me in Windows 7.
    Cheers,

    The following may help you understand about deleting photos from a library:
    Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library:
    1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
    2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin.  Then empty the trash bin as above.
    NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

  • I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 for a Mac and trying to install. I am at the point to enter the serial number but it won't take letters. What do I do and where do I go for help?

    I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 for a Mac and trying to install. I am at the point to enter the serial number but it won't take letters. What do I do and where do I go for help?

    If the code you are trying to enter has letters then you are not looking at a serial number.  A serial number only contains numbers - 6 sets of 4 numbers.
    Find your serial number quickly
    You might be dealing with a redemption code.  This is especially so if you purchased it from a store or the like.

  • Need Help With Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0

    I have and use Adobe Acrobat and three versions of Adobe Photoshop Elements (2, 5 and 7). I use version 2 frequently as I'm more familiar with it and it's simpler to use for what I need to do. All was fine until recently when my computer was installed with Windows 8. Now I can't save photo edits from Version 2.0...... it aborts each time I try. Why is that? It is costing me a lot of wasted time. The other versions that i have don't do that. Need help. Thanks. Stu Snyder.

    The first thing i would try is deleting the Photoshop Elements 2.0 Prefs folder as explained in the post #2 linked to below:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1254224?tstart=30
    Does it happen when trying to save as any file format or just a certain one like jpeg?
    Have you tried saving a photo to a different place like your desktop?

  • Help With Adobe Photoshop Elements Download and Installation

    I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements yesterday and was sent the download link. I tried to download the product but one of the 2 files I need would not download and after a few attempts it blocked my access saying there were too many download attempts. Please help.

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • Help i bought a cmputer with adobe photoshop elements 10 on it so i dont have id no. to update2 11?

    Hi
    I just bought a new computer a VAIO, pink 15.5 screen e series  with window 8, internet explorer 10, adobe reader x, Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 & with an Intel Core 15-3210m processor 2.5 GHz with turbo boost up to 3.10GHz1 already installed on it
    But when i went to update it sai d i needed a serial number or prove that i bought it (therefore i should have the packet it came in, well it was on my computer but this still isnt acceptable??)otherwise i cant update to photoshop elements 11
    What can i do, how can i prove it
    i bought it at harvey norman & they seem to know as much about it as i do, which is nothing!!
    Please help my email is [email protected]
    please contact me by email as i am a computer novice and dont know how to get back here?
    Is it worth updating to element 11 or premiere 11?
    Also i dont know what is a TAG???
    sorry
    With kind regards
    jane

    Jane,
    As your product came with the new computer, the problem can only be solved by the OEM (Original Equipment Maker) because they know or should know what the serial number is for their product.
    If you want to get PSE11 then you can buy it from Amazon and it will workout cheaper than buying an upgrade from Adobe IMHO.
    <http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-65193986-Photoshop-Elements-11/dp/B0093FROMA/ref=sr_1_1?s=soft ware&ie=UTF8&qid=1359362014&sr=1-1&keywords=photoshop+elements+11>
    If you want both PSE11 and PE11 then this is the link:
    <http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Photoshop-Premiere-Elements-11/dp/B0093FRO7A/ref=sr_1_2?s=soft ware&ie=UTF8&qid=1359362014&sr=1-2&keywords=photoshop+elements+11>
    Please also make sure you want to buy a boxed version so9 that it comes with the media that can act as your backup for future re-installation.
    Finally, please note that you don't need to post your email on a public forum like this one because we, volunteers, don't reply directly to Adobe customers.  You will get copies of replies in your email account that you used to post this question.
    Good luck.

  • Where is the help in Adobe Photoshop Elements 13?

    I've just purchased Adobe Photshop Elements 13 but can't find any proper Help. When I click on Help on the File menu, I am taken to a web page (Photoshop Elements Help | Photoshop Elements Help). It doesn't matter what I am doing (e.g. using the clone tool or trying to apply kerning for example), I always end up on this same non-context-sensitive web page. I am an experienced user of graphics software but am new to Photoshop Elements.
    I'm trying to kern some text characters so I entered "kerning" in the Search field. The first "hit" was InDesign Help | Kerning and tracking but nothing they say seems to apply to my particular version of Photoshop Elemts - whcih being V13 is hopefully the latest. And who are they? Are they an official voice for Adobe? Their "help" was way off.
    Could someone point me to the Help for Adobe Photoshop Elements 13?
    As an aside, why does Adobe hit one with a 27 page legal agreement before one can install the software? I confess I didn't have my lawyer with me and may not have read all 27 pages.

    I don't believe that you can kern in PSE as it comes out of the box. However, there is a very affordable add-on which allows one to do this. It is version specific.
    About Elements+
    BTW, Elements 13 itself is really good. I'm really pleased with its features and ease of use. It would just be nice to locate the relevant help more easily.
    There are available several books which augment the native help files. Photoshop Elements - The Missing Manual - by Barbara Brundage is excellent. I have no commercial connection to the author or to the publisher. Don't hesitate to come here to the forum for help. There are many talented contributors. We look forward to your progress.

  • PLEASE HELP! Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 editor won't open!!

    Hi! I'm new to the forums and to Adobe. So, I'm a little clueless about all this stuff.
    WELL
    everytime I click my Photoshop icon the welcome screen appears and the editor begins to load.
    However, the screen doesn't pop up at all. Just the welcome screen. It just shows the Photoshop Elements editor's small window on the bottom of my screen. I click on it and the editor doesn't show up at all.
    It did this a couple of times before. But, now the editor isn't showing.
    My organizer works just fine, but I'm wondering if I can somehow open Photoshop's editor on the organizer?
    If you could please PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME and reply as soon as possible! I would love to draw  and color on Photoshop again as soon as I have fix this problem!
    Thank you so much!
    -Marley

    Try making a direct desktop icon for the Organizer and Editor and that will bypass the welcome screen and any advertising.
    On Windows right click on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    Inside the Adobe >> Photoshop Elements Organizer (yellow folder) you are looking for an application file “PhotoshopEementsOrganizer” with six small icons (e.g. representing thumbnails)
    Select it and click OK
    Click next
    Rename by taking out Photoshop Elements leaving just the word Organizer
    Then click finish
    You should now be able to launch directly form the desktop by double clicking on the icon.
    You can set up a similar direct link to the Editor application (.exe file which has the blue PSE icon). As before take out Photoshop Elements just leaving the description Editor and it will show up clearly on the desktop.
     You can keep the standard Photoshop icon which links to the welcome screen but I prefer to delete it from the desktop. If you ever need to get to the welcome screen you simply click Window >>Welcome on the top menu when the application is open.
