Adobe PSE 7 - Opening Editor

I installed PSE 7 yesterday - my operating system is XP. I am able to open organizer with no issues; however, when I selected the editor, I got the pop up box that says the editor workspace is loading. After sever minutes the box just goes away - no error message.
In response to information read on discussion groups, etc...I spent the next couple of hours doing the following.
1. Uninstalled and reinstalled several times
2. Changed the default printer
3. Removed old programs no longer needed
I also tried to delete preferences by using the cntl + alt + shift function upon starting up the program. I must have tried this 30 times and never got a message about deleting the preferences. I also tried to find the preferences file...no luck.
I am more than a little frustrated and would appreciate some assistance...Thanks!

Try deleting the prefs again from the welcome screen or the app.
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 PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in Program Files\Adobe
You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.

ADOBE PSE 12 Editor öffnet sich nicht, wer kann helfen?

Ich habe Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 für die 5. deinstalliert und neu installiert. Ich kann einfach nicht öffnen Sie den Editor. Wenn ich mich im Organizer ich versuche, um den Editor zu erreichen, es funktioniert einfach nicht. Das Paket hat jetzt einziges Paar Wochen und kann nicht arbeiten.
Bitte helfen Sie.

Moving this discussion to the Photoshop Elements forum.
Hdschlz do you receive any specific errors when trying to open the editor? Also which operating system are you using?

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 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 7 [editor] won't open for me.

Hello,
About a month ago I bought Adobe Photoshop elements 7. I recently began using it, but when ever i try and open up the editor to edit my photo's, a message pops up. It says: "Adobe Photoshop elements [editor] has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"
I really dont know what to do to fix this problem. Help? Please?

Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Editor might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash. Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem:

PSE 11 Editor won't open

Just received a new PC w/ PSE 11 pre-installed. OS is Windows 8.
Was editing a photo in LR 4 and wanted to go into PSE 11 Editor to do more editing. When I tried to open PSE editor, Adobe required product registration, which I did. LR created a duplicate TIFF file and everything, and the window popped up asking if I wanted to Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments, etc., and then PSE 11 Editor opened up fine the very first time. (However it didn't seem like some of the tools were working properly, but that's another question for another time.)
Subsequent attempts to open the PSE Editor either from Elements itself and LR4 have failed. Editor will not open. Why is this happening with a brand new product?

Try these solutions to see if any of these work.
If none of them works, let me know.
Solution1:
Close Elements. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file. Click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution2:
In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution3:
In case that does not work too, you may try this.
Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.

Opening editor in PSE 11

I am unable to open editor from any screen. This is a new install. Thanks. PSE 11.

Hey Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.

On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
5. Try launching it directly from the PhotoshopElementsEditor .exe.
6. Please check in task manager if PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe is already running . If so then kill it and then relaunch elements editor.

PSE 8 Editor has stopped opening after using three times; anyone know why?

The PSE 8 Editor has completely stopped working. I used it a couple times and now it is just dead (I haven't used it in over a year - still doesn't work). I get the program interface, but only editor does not respond. What's wrong? I was using an older version of PSE without any problems and loved it, but had to upgrade when I got a Windows 7 computer. I feel like this program was a big waste of money.

Open Windows Explorer
C drive>Program Files (x86)>Adobe>Photoshop Elements 8.
Right click on this and select "send to desktop"
Close Windows Explorer
Double click the shortcut on your desktop. That should open it. Let us know how you make out.

In adobe pse and nikon nx2, I open 2 images, select in 1 a head, copy, open image 2 and paste, than only the outlines of the selection apears but no head. who knows this problem?

in adobe PSE and in Nion NX2, I open 2 group Photos, select a head in photo 1 and copy, go to photo 2 and paste. Than only the selection-line
appears and no head is visible! Who can tell me what is going wrong? Thanks: Max.

I am sorry to have to point out to you that you have changed SpryMenuBasicSkin.css so much that it is impossible to render any assistance.
To start with, the menubar has an ID of MenuBar, yet in the CSS I only see this referenced as a CLASS as in
.MenuBar {
background-color:#cccccc;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; /* Specify fonts on on MenuBar and subMenu MenuItemContainer, so MenuItemContainer,
MenuItem, and MenuItemLabel
at a given level all use same definition for ems.
Note that this means the size is also inherited to child submenus,
so use caution in using relative sizes other than
100% on submenu fonts. */
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 16px;
font-style: normal;
padding:0;
border-color: #ffffff #ffffff #ffffff #ffffff;
border-width:0px;
border-style: none none none none;
I would suggest to start again.
Once you have done that, supply a link to your site and we will assist you further.

Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Editor application:
C: >> Program Files (x86) >> Adobe >> Photoshop Elements 11
Within the Photoshop Elements 11 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (the application not the Adobe shortcut)
Select that file and click Next.
Then click Finish.
You should now be able to launch by right-clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen. Try choosing “Run As Administrator” That often improves stability.

Adobe premiere Elements 12 will not open editor

I had Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on my laptop and worked fine. Decided to upgrade to Elements 12 and did but version 12 will not open editor, says sign in, I sign in but no editor. Organizer opens and loaded my Photos and videos. I purchased full retail version for download. My laptop runs windows 8.1 and has an Intel Core i5 dual core processor and 4GB ram.

actll
Have you gone to Computer/Manager/Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Applications and looked for error entries that appear to be associated with this problem?
Did you purchase Photoshop Elements 12 as well as Premiere Elements 12, and does Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor open whereas Premiere Elements 12 will not open to its Expert or Quick workspaces?
You have probably tried it, but can you open to the Premiere Elements workspaces from the Elements Organizer workspace?
More later.

Why does Raw image open in PSE 11 Editor as jpeg instead of as RAW image?

For several years I have been managing my photos in iphoto and using PSE as an external editor for editing images. I currently use PSE 11 on an iMac with OS X Lion (version 10.7.5). My iPhoto Library is divided into a number of sub-libraries via iPhoto Library Manager. I have unexpectedly encountered a problem attempting to edit a RAW image (in this case a .NEF image from a Nikon D200) in a sub-library containing images shot in 2007. When I right click on the image and select Edit in External Editor the image opens in PSE 11 Editor, but it opens as a jpeg and not as an .NEF image. This is in spite of the fact that in iPhoto/Preferences/Advanced/RAW Photos I have checked "Use RAW when using external editor."
As an alternative approach I tried dragging and dropping the RAW image into the PSE 11 Editor icon in the Dock, but I got the same result.
I can't recall having this problem previously and would appreciate knowing what might be the source of the problem along with a suggested fix.

I took a clue from both of your responses. I exported a copy of the original RAW file to my desktop. Then I went to PSE Editor and clicked File/Open and selected the RAW file on the desktop. This automatically changed the Format setting to Camera Raw. I then clicked Open and lo and behold my RAW file opens in Camera Raw!
I’m now where I want to be to edit this image in Camera RAW, but I never before had to go around the horn like this to get there! This is very similar to the procedure I follow when I edit jpegs in Camera Raw.
I’m happy to report that this workaround did the job, but I have no idea why it was necessary in this instance. Hopefully this issue will be confined to this one particular iPhoto sub-library!

Tif won't open in Adobe Camera Raw editor

Photo tif file won't open in Adobe Camera Raw editor from Adobe Bridge - but it will open into Photoshop. Seems tifs WILL open into raw editor IF they have not been edited in Adobe Photoshop. Its like working on the tif in Photoshop makes the file un-openable in raw editor. This seems to be a new problem since I upgraded from cs4 on a PC to cs5 on a Mac.

Thanks for that tip, Jeff, I appreciate it!

PSE 8 Editor does not open

PSE 8 editor has stopped opening. I've tried opening it from the organizer and from the welcome page. The loading-the-editor box pops up like it's going to open, but then the loading box goes away with no editor opening. I tried un-installing and reinstalling the program to no avail. The computer has Windows 7, 64-bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated... the PSE organizer portion is pretty worthless without the editor!

It sounds like you could be experiencing a conflict with a scanner driver.
Go back the Program Files (x86) >>Plug-ins>>Import/Export and delete the TWAIN driver.
Elements will work without it, but if you have scanner and want to scan directly PSE you'll need to install an up to date driver from the manufacturer's web site.
If you don’t use a scanner there’s nothing to worry about.
If that doesn’t work you may need to re-build the preferences.
You do that by holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift whilst simultaneously clicking Edit on the welcome screen.
When you see a pop-up behind the welcome screen click yes, to delete settings.
Then re-start Elements and it will re-build the preferences.

PSE 11 Editor Won't Open Due to my "tampering"

Photo Elements 11 Editor won’t open. (I also have PSE 6 and Editor now won’t open in it). I have Windows XP. Editor was working fine until I was trying to get my Viveza 2 plug-in into PSE 11 (I had it in PSE6 and all was fine). I looked all over internet and could not find answer. Went into PSE 11 Editor screen and from one of the tabs I saw a place for plug-ins—you could browse for folder/file of plug-in (or so I thought). I went to Viveza folder inside my NIK folder and clicked it. After that --- Editor no longer loads in PSE 11 or 6. I have tried resetting Preferences—no help. I don’t even know what tab I used in Editor since I cannot open it. Any thoughts? I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling but think nothing will change since PSE6 was affected too. Need to change whatever I did to the file.
Any thoughts?? Thanks!

Cannot open Editor after installation and sign in to Adobe ID

I installed elements 13 on two computers. Then as directed, I signed up for an Adobe ID.
Elements works fine on one computer, but not on the other. On the one with the problem, I can access the organizer and use the organizer, but when I try to open Editor, I am asked to sign in with Adobe ID to activate the software, which I have done many times but still nothing happens. I signed in to check my Adobe account and I have a valid account, but still cannot open the editor. It just keeps asking me to sign in, which I have done many times and still cannot open the Editor.

Have you managed to update to 13.1 by loading the organizer, going to the Help menu and selecting Updates.. ?
The sign in process can be blocked by your system, you can try disabling your firewall to see if that is blocking you.
The following document is for CS but contains information that will affect elements too.
Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
Recently, an add on has been found to block the Adobe access - please see this thread.
How do I get past the required "sign in" requirement on Elements 12 EDITOR after entering my password?
Good luck
Brian
