Adobe photoshop elements 6.0. What do people think?

New photographer, just purchased adobe photo shop elements 6. Does this work as easy as it says? I welcome any feedback. from deb.

I've been a user of PS (full-version) since the day it hit the PC. I have never used PSE, but I just bought a copy of it for a friend, who wants to do about what you want.
Now, using PS, as I do, I would miss many things that I take for granted, but unless one is in the business and doing work, especially for print, PSE should be great.
One of its "features," that I just commented on in another thread here, is it's ability to do SlideShows. Directly, PS can't do that alone, though it figures prominently into my SlideShow workflow, which moves on to Premiere Pro and Encore.
One thing that I picked up for my friend was a copy of the Missing Manual for Photoshop Elements. I come from the dark ages, when every major program had a manual, or two, or three. I'm less of an on-line guy, when it comes to manuals. That is why I picked up the book. It also came highly recommended from another friend, who's an author of both PSE and PrE books, though not that series.
Good luck, and enjoy,
Hunt

  • I have been using Elements 12 without a problem for 9 months.  Now when I try to open the program, I get an error message  "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 quit unexpectedly" and it will not open at all.  What can I do to open the program?

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

    Just user to user....based on past and current history, Adobe Tech Support is not going to help you with a technical issue which is preventing you from using your purchased serial number for Photoshop Elements. Version 12 is not the current version. And, the Adobe Tech Support is limited even for the current version which is 13. If this matter involves a purchased activated serial number trapped on a crashed computer while you are trying to install on a 3rd computer, then probably Adobe Chat Activation can be of assistance. If that is the case and you want to explore that possibility, then click on the following link
    Contact Customer Care
    Photoshop Elements
    Adobe ID, Signing In
    Adobe ID, Sign In, Account Help
    Chat Panel
    If the above link does not hold its set, then you will need to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
    Are you getting one of those "too many computers with your serial number" messages? Then the above should apply to your situation.
    Before the above consider....
    a. For Photoshop Elements technical issues please post your question in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. Somehow your
    question got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum.
    b. Have you verified your Photoshop Elements serial number at the Adobe web site (http://www.adobe.com) - after signing in with your
    Adobe ID and Password, type My Products in the Search field and follow the path to your product in My Products. Click on Adobe
    Photoshop Elements 12 in your list to reveal the serial number.
    c. Do the install with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

    Message was edited by: Pat Willener - removed serial number.

    Photoshop Elements 4 is too old. It was written for PowerPC Macs and will not work on new Intel Macs. There is nothing you can do about it.

    why won't it install?  ie, do you see an error message?

  • 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.

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    Try starting the organizer while holding down the shift key.  Hopefully, it should load the Catalog Manager.
    Select your current catalog and click on the Repair button. Once it has finished, click on the Open button to see if the catalog opens.
    Good luck,

  • I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. However it converts all my pdf files to Photoshop Elements 10 so I can not email them because no one can read them they are not pdf files anymore. What do I do?

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. However it converts all my pdf files to Photoshop Elements 10 so I can not email them because no one can read them they are not pdf files anymore. What do I do?

    Nothing has been converted. You first need to convince yourself of this.
    Start Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat, if you have it). Use Open from the File menu. Pick one of your PDF files. Does it open OK? If not, what happens?
    Ok, these emails. What exactly happens when trying to open them?

  • I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 and am trying to upgrade to 13 - getting error message that "file archive part" of Adobe 13 is missing. When I try to download installers for older products it only goes back to v7, not v5 what to do next?

    TDFields you will want to ensure the 7z and exe file are in the same folder/directory.  You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

  • In Aperture using the external photo editor Adobe photoshop elements 10 editor.  My photo will not come back to aperture unless the photo is saved on the desktop and then imported back to Aperture. What am I doing wrong?

    Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor as external editor in Aperture.  The issue is once i make the changes in Photoshop it request that I save (use tiff) and the photo is not update in Aperture.  What am I doing wrong?

    Marianne,
    how do you save? Photoshop Elements can save either versions or overwrite the original file, afaik.
    You need to set the save preferences, so that it will write to the original file and not write a version. Also the filename extension should be "tiff" and not the default "tif" (I think you did that already).

    Hello, I am having a slight issue. When I opened my adobe photoshop elements 9, I received a message saying "This Application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way." It then tells me to contact support, and I'm wondering what I should do. Thanks!

    Hi ,
    Do you remember if you  have installed some software prior to this issue?
    Delete programs you never use.
    If the issue reoccurs in Clean Boot, but works fine in Safe Mode, the cause may be the disabled hardware drivers. You may narrow down the
    causes in Device Clean Boot.
    Device Clean Boot
    =================
    1. Click Start, type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Search bar and press Enter.
    2. Expand "Sound, video and game controllers".
    3. Right click on your sound card and then click "Properties.
    4. In the dropdown menu of Device Usage, please choose "Do not use this device (disable)" and click OK.
    5. Please use the same method to disable other dubious hardware such as: internal modem, network card and CD-R drive. Please note some devices
    such as video adapter are not available to be disabled.

    A handful of features from previous versions are not available in Photoshop Elements 12 due to new product support for 64-bit systems.

    I thought Adobe staff only came here in their "spare time"?

  • Have Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and it's running very slow.  I don't know what's wrong!

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and it's running very slow.  Have no idea what's wrong or how to fix.  Op Sys is Apple, OS X, ver 10.9.1.

    If so, then see:
    http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/28/photoshop-elements-and-os-x-mave ricks/
    For PSE 11 you want to get
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 settings
    if you use organizer, also
    com.adobe.Elements Organizer.11.0.plist
    com.adobe.ElementsOrganizer11.plist
    If you use raw, Adobe Camera Raw < version > Prefs
    and any lockfiles with the same names.
    Since you've already run PSE, go into the Saved Application States folder and delete any for PSE.
    Repair permissions and try again.
    Also go to the organizer preferences>media analysis and be sure everything there is off (except face recognitiion, if you use that).
