Adobe photoshop elements 12 crashes immediately after editor is launched

I have just purchased Adobe photoshop elements and Premier 12. After my first elements install, I was able to load the Organiser, but the editor crashes immediately after loading. I uninstalled, deleted all adobe folders and files, and re-installed, only to find the same problem again. The editor crashes regardless of whether I load it from the flash screen on launch or from within the organiser.

Can you go to this folder and try launching directly from the executable:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12
Make sure you choose the application. Right-click on PhotoshopElementsEditor and choose "Run As Administrator"

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor

For years, I've used iPhoto. And although I usually edit in iPhoto, sometimes I edit in an external editor, Adobe Photoshop Elements. It's always been easy - rightclick, "edit in external editor", Photoshop Elements opens and the photo is loaded automatically.
Well, since I upgraded to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 (PSE12), when I choose to edit in an external editor, PSE12 opens but my photo doesn't load.
Not a huge deal, but it takes extra time and searching and is, honestly, a little annoying.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Other than the previous versions of Elements, Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 installs the editor directly at the top-level of the Applications folder, so there are no longer any nested folders to select the editor application from.
But there is a weird glitch, when I try to use it as an external editor in iPhoto.
When I select a photo in iPhoto 9.5.1 and ctrl-click it and use the command "Edit in External Editor" from that panel, Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 opens with an empty window, like you reported.
This does not work: Elements launches on an empty window.
But when I use the "Edit" button in the footer of the iPhoto window and double click it, Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 will open with the photo in the Editor window.
This does work:
So, for the time being, use the Edit button to launch your external editor, if you are also using iPhoto 9.5.1 with Mavericks 10.9.4.

Adobe Photoshop Elements crashes before it starts.

A few days ago, I tried to open up Photoshop Elements 7, and... nothing. My cursor showed that it was loading, but then it stopped. No window opened, nothing. So I went to a picture and tried opening it with Photoshop. The loading window popped up and then another window which "Adobe Photoshop Elements (Editor) has stopped working" and "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
Other than that, I have nothing. I've tried multiple solutions suggested online, but nothing has worked. Before someone suggests the ctrl+alt+shift click editor at the welcome window, I cannot do that. It's impossible because the welcome window never appears.
I really need this program to do artwork for posters and such, and I'm rapidly approaching my deadline.

Before someone suggests the ctrl+alt+shift click editor at the welcome window, I cannot do that. It's impossible because the welcome window never appears.
Go into the program files and find the exe file and start it from there with the keystrokes.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and Organizer does not launch.

I just installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and have tried to lauch Organizer so I can do the lessons in the Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 classroom in a book. I followed the instruction outlined in "creating a new catalog" BUT when I click on the ORGANIZER button there is no file icon. So I opened the PHOTO EDITOR and tried to open organizer there... when I clicked on the ORGANIZER button it still would not launch. I am very frustrated! Please help!!!!

Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Error after disk install

I have a windows 7 64 bit system, I purchased Elements both Photoshop and Premiere 11 disks. After install without incident, Premiere works fine, but Photoshop gives me this message upon opening the program. Adobe Photosp Elements 11 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. It closes the program and no solution suggested. I have waited twice on tech support phone, and once with online help, I have been disconnected on the phone support, and online could not help me. This is a new product I have not been able to use. The last time I purchased version 10 and it never worked. Now I see right after buying version 11, 12 is now available and I still can't use Photoshop elements. Can someone please help. I have reviewed all the similar issues on the help site, none of the suggestions worked.

This did not answer my question or solve the problem. As I stated in the original email, I had tried all the solutions posted earlier.
I DO NOT even get to open the program, before the message, getting to the editor is not the problem, getting the program to open is the problem. The error message comes while PSE 11 is loading, but not open. Please send a solution ! Thank you, Rebecca Stone

[BUG] Photoshop CC crashed immediately after selecting NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M GPU

I just started using Photoshop CC trial and I immediately ran into problem with my video card.
First Photoshop doesn't recognized my GPU which is Nvidia GTX 680M. I'm using a new Alienware R4 with Win8 pro, I then searched the forum and followed this thread
Photoshop CS6 doesn't recognize my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M GPU?http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1157982
After following the instruction now Photoshop CC is supposely using my NVIDIA GPU, but it immediately crashed after launching, for both 32 bits and 64 bits. My NVIDIA driver version is 320.49 600 series, the latested one I just updated. If I deselect the NVIDIA option in the control panel I no longer suffer the crash problem but as you know there is a reported problem with Intel HD4000 integrated GPU where screen flickering keeps happening if you use a toolbox. To avoid the problem the only thing I can do is to deselect the use GPU option in CC option (changing the mode advanced setting doesn't help). By deselcting the GPU option get rid of the problem but there is another problem with zooming: it cannot zoom in real time anymore, instead it's having a toolbox where you choose a reagion and it will jump to that region, and I can only zoom in by doing this, not zooming out.
So basically I had a problem with NVIDIA which crashes CC immediately and a problem with Intel HD4000 integrated GPU with flickering screen and another problem with no GPU selected where I cannot zoom in real time. Whatever I do always give me some sets of problem that I can't solve.
BTW I haven't try CS6 yet, I may proceed to download a trial copy and I thought CC and CS6 are using the same core. Nevertheless, those problem should definately be looked into.
Any helps? Thanks in advance.

Unable to install my newly purchased version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.

Unable to install my newly purchased version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. After inputing the serial number, I get partway through the install process and then I see that everything is being backed out. Id it possible that I have a defective CD? Please advise a telephone for Adobe Technical support.

I found a doc Install rollback | Photoshop Elements | Windows that provides information on installation rollback. I'd suggest that you use the doc before calling up customer support. If your problem is still not addressed, share the installation log file (information available in the suggested document) when you contact customer support (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/).

Adobe photoshop elements 12 will not open photo editor crashes every time.

My elements 12 does the same thing I have seen written here over and over. Can not open editor, crashes every time. It is updated, reinstalled and administrator is set. Does anyone from Adobe read these boards?

I asked you to try that because one thing that often happens is that the dock icon gets corrupted, and it's best to get the simple obvious problems out of the way first.
What do you mean by "several students"? Is this in a classroom situation? Are these computers all on a school intranet together? We tend to assume here that you are talking about a personal version and a problem with your own computer, not an institutional installation, unless you specify otherwise.
If this is your personal computer, the next thing to do is to delete the prefernces. Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
Adobe Photoshop Elemetns 12 paths
and any lockfiles with the same names. To see the user library in 10.9, option click the Go menu in the Finder and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in the library, go to the saved application states folder and delete anything in there for PSE.
Repair permissions and try again.

Mac OS X update (3/19/13) crashes my iMac. After installing an automatic OS X update, every time I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 to print to my Epson R1800 printer (which worked perfectly just before the update), my entire system crashes.

On 3/19/13 I was printing photos on my Epson R1800 printer using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 with no problems. I got an automatic Apple OS X software update which I installed. Ever since, when I try to print photos my iMac crashes. How can I unistall the OS X update?

What you are experiencing is called a Kernel Panic and is NOT caused by the OS, they can be difficult to troubleshoot as they can be software or hardware relate. The X Labs writes and excellent article about them, in Kernel Panics. Please read it carefully. In order to troubleshoot your KP you need to post your last KP log, Apple provides instructions for doing so in How to log a kernel panic. Please follow the instructions in that article and post your complete KP report.
As mentioned previously it is NOT caused by OS X! There are common causes, including RAM issues, outdated applications, hard disks failing etc. By posting your KP log we can look at it and determine if it's software and if it is then point you to what is causing the issue.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 crashes on startup

I just purchased Photoshop Elements, and the first time I went to use it, it immediately crashes when I click "edit" to actually enter photoshop. I was able to intall everything, and registered the serial number just fine. But now it crashes every time. I read in another post to try running as Administrator, but I tried that without any luck.
Thanks for your help.

OK let’s deal with the Editor. The editor saved prefs often get corrupted. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst double clicking on the desktop icon for PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Wait whilst it rebuilds the preferences.

I have been getting a "Runtime Error" and can't open Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor

We are using Adobe Photoshop Elements version 9.0.3 (20110328.m.11320). For several weeks it has not been possible to open the Editor, although the Organizer opens as usual. We get an error message that says "Runtime Error! Program: ...\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information." What can we do to correct this problem?

Thanks, Ken! I have to reply by e-mail, as the Forum site has been down
for maintenance since last night.
I am running Windows 7 Professional SP1.
Uninstalling and booting should be straightforward. I saved the
following files in my Downloads folder from my initial installation of
Adobe PSE 9.0 on 4/22/11:
Adobe_Photoshop_Elements_9-AkamaiDLM.exe (355 kb application)
PhotoshopElements_9_LS15.exe (1,200 kb application)
PhotoshopElements_9_LS15.7z (1,838,546 kb WinRAR archive)
Will these suffice for reinstalling the program? Can you tell me how I
should go about the reinstallation? (I tried to find a page to download
the Adobe PSE 9.0 program on the Adobe website, but could only locate a
patch for 9.0.3, which I think must already have been included in the
original installation.)
Also, there are four folders, corresponding to four catalogs, in
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs. Will those survive
the uninstall/reinstall process? Should I back them up just prior to
uninstalling to preserve them for restoration after the reinstall?
Finally, should I back up the 9.0 and Organizer folders in
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer for restoration as well? And
the C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements folder?
Thank you. I am grateful for your help!

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor Issue

Have downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor from the Mac App Store onto my Mac Book Pro, set iPhoto preferences to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor, but when trying to open a file from my iPhoto library, the following message appears: "unable to complete your request because of a program error". What can I do to resolve this issue?

Are you able to edit an image file that's not in the iPhoto library with PSE 10?
Also the followinjg has some tips on configuring PSE for use inside iPhoto that you may or may not know about:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9/10 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.
