Adobe Photoshop Elements Effect Problems

I own Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 and like to play around in it. I used to own a basic copy of Adobe Photoshop and two of my favorite tools were the lighting effect and lens flare tools. In my current version of Photoshop, when I try to use them, the message "The command "Lighting Effects" is currently not available." This also happens with a few other effects I try to apply, and I'm wondering how to remedy this. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Well, works perfectly here... (PSElements 6 “Mac”)...
Select your image or specify an area...
Go to Filter / Render / Lighting Effect.../ and specify your desired options...
If that doesn’t work, delete the preference file...
If that doesn’t work either, you might have to reinstall PS Elements...

Aperture 3 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 problems.

I have installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, which I have setup as plugin for Aperture 3. In Aperture preferences the photos are exported as 8 bit TIFF 300 DPI, no profile and automatically stack new versions selected in general.
I right click on selected image (version) in Aperture and select edit with Elements, this create another version of the same photo in Aperture but increasing size from say 5MB to around 40MB. The Elements programme opens in Elements editor but the selected image is not there, I can only drag it in from Aperture. I then edit the image, then click save, it open a box save as and to a wierd folder like Uwvo2vg etc. I click save, get message saying it will overwrite file of same name, click save using a unique name. When I go back to Aperture, the edited file is not there and when I search for the unique name, nothing comes up.

I had somewhat similar problems running Elements 10 as external editor, but under 10.6.8. The simplest fix is to send .psd's instead of .tiff. You can change that in preferences.
If you must use .tiff (I do, becaues PTLens doesn't like psd) you have to change the file extension to .tiff in the save dialog. Elements saves as .tif and Aperture saves as .tiff. Notice the number of 'f' at end of extension.
Here's what was happening to me, which is a little different:
• when you send to external editor, Aperture saves a .tiff and opens it in in Elements
• you do your work and close the file
• Elements saves as .tif, and so doesn't overwrite the Aperture tiff.
• Aperture doesn't know the .tif exists so it shows you the un-edited .tiff that if made at the beginning
I get around this at the save dialog in Elements. Basically Elements goes into a Save As kind of dialog, so if I add the extra 'f' at the end, Elements asks if I want to over-write the existing file, and when I say yes the changes show in Aperture.
If you open Elements and go to 'Recent Files' (or something like that), you can see the .tif and .tiff files together. If you delete the .tiff and add the extra 'f' to the Elements .tif, the changes will show in Aperture.
What you shouldn't be doing is changing the name of the file in Elements. For the edits to show in Aperture you need to save the file with the same name and change the extension to .tiff. The file that Elements saves must have exactly the same name as the one Aperture made, because that's the file that Aperture knows about.
If you do a library database repair, Aperture will find these .tifs and add them to the library, but they won't be where they should be. The show up in a recovered file folder at the bottom.
Note that Elements 8 didn't have this kind of trouble. And note that I'm not running Lion, so some of the behaviors I describe may be different that what Lion users see.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 Problem

Ok so here is the problem. I have a windows vista. If that has anything to do with my problem. But the thing is everytime i try to download it i get a report saying i can acess it and it is already installed, but i can not find the file it is under. Could it be a computer error? Help if you can. Im not very good with computers my self so this would help alot. Thank you =)

Check if there is an entry of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 in your Add and Remove Programs wizard inside Control Panel. If not, it might be that due to some previous attempt PSE is installed on the system partly and for some reason did not rollback properly.
Look at the below link and try removing the corresponding entries for PSE 8 from the machine, and then try to run the installer with admin user again:

Make sure that you are not running any Antivirus (Espscially Norton) while installing PSE. You can resume the protection later once the installation is done successfully.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 - problems downloading

I have Windows 7 on my computer, and Photoshop Elements 12 will not download properly. When I checked further on my computer, it is the Windows XP compatible version. How do I get the correct version to download?

If you downloaded PSE 12 for Windows then you downloaded the correct version. There are only two versions, one for PC and one Mac. The PC version covers Windows XP SP3 thru Windows 8.1.
If you are having a problem downloading you can always try a direct download of the trial version thru the fllowing site.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Icons or text for effects do not appear on the effects palette. Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.3

I would like to use the bevel and drop shadow effects in Elements, yet when I go to window > effects, even though the effects palette appears, the icons and text of the specific effects do not. I have checked my hard drive and found the effect files on my computer, and I also tried simply dragging the file onto the Elements icon. It said it did not recognize the file format. I have a mid-2007 iMac running OS X 10.9.4 (memory is quite full) and I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.3. If anybody could help that would be great!

Hmmmm, that didn't do it (what you said would happen did happen, but it didn't solve the problem). But I think I figured it out. For some reason, there was a "custom print size" set to 6 X 4. I set that to "Scale to fit Media", and now it seems to be back to normal
I think my wife must have used my computer to print photos, and didn't tell me about it.
Thank you for your help, though!

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

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.

Even one month before I download the and installed a trial version of Adobe Design Premium CS5. Trial period has expired. I intend it in the short to buy.
But the problem I have with PSE8.

I tried all three tips but I did not succeed. then I clicked the button More informations.
It has opened up another window titledPackage for Suport. The content is as follows: Please copy the "key" bellow to a safe location and press Close. You will need this key if you open a support case with Adobe. If you need this key I will be sent it separately.
Please help me install PSE8.
Thank you very much for the reply

Well now the forum finally working like it should. I was always logged in, I saw my name at the top. However, when I clicked on the link Log / Registration, came forward error 404th I waited one hour without logging off and re-clicked. Finally, the forum in my browser started to work normally.
There is no problem that would not be able to send files to the server from which it can take you. The problem is that my /Library/Logs/Adobe/ folder is empty. How is it that the folder is empty? I have installed Adobe Design Premium CS5 too, although tryal version has expired. And even these files can not look in the folder. PSE8 but I can not even until the end of Installations.
So I tried to send Screnshot to you to see that the folder is empty. I know that you need a file, but how do I send it to you, if the file is not in the folder?
Maybe I have the settings set to not see certain files?
I called the support in my country, but only help those who have bought the program in their company. :-(((

I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 last August 2013 and having problems with installing it on Windows 8.1. Why am I having this problem?

You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account. If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

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,

Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 and 'Save for Web' problem

Hi everyone,
I have used Photoshop Elements 2 for some time with absolutely no problems. However when I try to use the save for the web option I get an 'export could not be completed due to a program error' message.
Nothing relevant is mentioned on Adobe's support site. After having gone through the usual 9 troubleshooting procedure I suspect that there is a problem with the 'Save for Web EL' plugin located in the PE 2 plugins folder. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way I can somehow find a functional plugin?
Thank you for reading this post.

I don't use Photoshop elements myself, but from Photoshop CS it works fine. I use JPG compression and optimization. First of all - make sure the file format extensions are all available. Applications/adobe/photoshop elements/file formats AND ALSO Applications/adobe/photoshop elements/photoshop elements only/file formats (here I am assuming the paths are the same or similar to Photoshop). Also, check the extensions disabled folder (Control click on Photoshop and go to package contents). If it's none of these, I suggest you check the settings in Elements when trying to save and make sure you are not using an option that conflicts.
Also, check the Adobe forum. http://www.adobeforums.com
Check for software upgrades also.
You do have enough hard drive space and RAM I assume. If you are using PS Elements and virtual memory is on, you may not have enough phsyical space to save the file (but not likely)
P.S. I see (after i wrote) that you are running 9.2.2 - so the paths will not be the same as if it was on OS X - but they will be similar.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Language Problem

Hi all!
I've a problem with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor.
I bought Elements 10 Editor from the app store (I've a Mac) some months ago and I chose the english language during the installation.
Today it happened that, when I opened it, I found it totally in German! How can I restore english language?

This has been happening a lot to people who upgrade to Yosemite. Here's what adobe suggested a couple of years ago when it was happening to a few people:
Mac App Store version is German | Photoshop Elements

I'm having problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.

I'm having problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.
The problem is right at the end of installation, it (the Install Shield Wizard) says status is registering and then immediately does an action rollback.
The message I get is:
'The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run the installation again.'
If anyone can offer some help, please, that would be great.
Thanks.
Grant.
