Can I use Adobe Photoshop Element 11 to manage my photos rather than iPhoto?

What are the problems, if any, with by passing iPhoto and using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11?

Are you referring to actually managing the image files with the Adobe Elements 11 organizer as well as editing the photos or just use PSE 11 to edit the photos? 
The latter is easy.  The former would have you abandon iPhoto, move you photos out of it to folders and then manage the folders and their contents.
What exactly are you wantng to do:  manage and edit or just edit.
By the way the file management capability of PSE is far less capable than the photo managementcapability of iPhoto which is a DAM (digital asset management) application.

    Can I use adobe premiere elements 13 to organize photos? How?

    Premiere Elements 13 Editor comes with the Elements Organizer 13 separate area.
    Yes, you can use its Elements Organizer 13 to organize photos and do other things and is integrated with the Premiere Elements 13 Editor.
    Maybe first review and consider the following and then let us know if you have questions or need clarification on any of the following
    Elements Organizer Help | Help and tutorials
    http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/elements-organizer_reference.pdf
    In the Project Assets of the Premiere Elements 13 Editor itself, there is a certain degree of organizing source media in the Expert workspace/Project Assets.
    Do you currently have Premiere Elements 13? If not, you might consider download and installing the tryout from Adobe for explore its compatibility with your
    computer environment and project goals. Be aware that there can be issues with the playback of some video files in the Elements Organizer 13 player.

  • Can I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 on a Windows 7 machine?

    Will my Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 work on new Windows 7 computer?

    I am a retired computer software engineer, systems programmer, systems administrator, systems analyst, systems security manager, systems security software systems programmer for a large company (all at the same time), on IBM mainframe, unix, and pc platforms.
    I just installed pse 5 on my Windows 7 64 bit pc a week or so ago, and started using it a few days ago.  Yesterday, I noticed severe problems with My Pictures.  We just had a cruise departing 10/26/2012 on the Enchantment of the Seas out of Baltimore to Bermuda, a cruise to nowhere, due to Hurricane Sandy, turned out very smooth sailing (and smooth anchoring).  I need to post photos so I started using pse 5.  I use Windows Explorer to manage my photo files.
    I created an enchantment  folder for the cruise and put all our photos in it.  I created a number of folders under the enchantment folder so I could work on specific areas without changing the original photos. I was editing the photos with pse 5.  I tried copying a Halloween group of photos into the sub folder halloween, and it copied those photos into the  halloween folder, but made a duplicate of each photo copied in my enchantment folder.  So, for each photo I copied I then had two photos with the same name in the from folder, enchantment.  The 2nd one of each was not marked copy.  I have never seen this on a windows platform.  I deleted the duplicates in the enchantment folder, and in so doing the photos in the halloween folder were automatically deleted.  Numerous other Windows 7 directory problems ensued.  I restarted several times, and tried things with different sub folders and an additional new enchantment folder and received a number of system errors.
    I checked pse 5 and found it already had the pse 5.02 update.
    Sorry about the length of this post.
    With software just about anything could be the culprit, but at this time, I would not recommend using pse 5 on the Windows 7 platform.

  • I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements on an older Mac...just bought Mac Mini and migrated all my files...but 4.0 Does not work....can I upgrade PSE 4.0 to PSE 13?

    I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements on an older Mac...just bought Mac Mini and migrated all my files...but 4.0 Does not work....can I upgrade PSE 4.0 to PSE 13?

    Yes, any version of PSE qualifies for upgrade pricing, but if you're in the US you might want to consider running the trial  for now and waiting for the black friday specials, when the full version will be a lot less than the adobe upgrade price.

    I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 - can I add an additional .icc file to 'convert to profile' so that when I send my photos off for printing, they come back exactly as they appear on my screen.  If not, how do I get them printed properly?
    thanks

  • [locked] Can't install Adobe Photoshop elements 4 anymore. Why?

    Greetings!
    I tried to open a post with the support team, but they said that the support for my product was no longer available.
    I'll copy the post I posted to the support:
    After not using Adobe photoshop elements 4 for a year, i decided to install it again on my new harddrive as my last one crashed. When I
    try to install from the CD an error message shows up telling "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application
    vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installage package". I've tried to install the CD on several computers after that, but I just get the same error message every single time. The CD is not damaged/scratched in any way as it has only been stored on the box it came with.
    I am using a legal version of Windows XP and I don't have pirated software that should effect the installation.
    Operating System: Windows XP Home
    Browser: Opera
    Has it ever worked? If so, what's changed? (provide comments in description field): Yes
    Same results with different file?: Not Applicable
    Same results with different computer?: Yes
    Recent System Hardware or Software change?: No
    I'm considering just downloading pirated software instead. I bet I can have less problems and better support if I download it from [deleted] instead of buying it (AGAIN) for a 100$. It's ridiculous if u ask me.

    Have you contact Adobe directly as you should yet? These forums are for user-to user help.
    Adobe is practically free support too when you buy the products. I doubt they charge much at all for support with their products, you are paying more for a license to use the product commercially. The point is, even if someone managed to revser engineer a product, then sold it on for cheaper, if the product gets a fault or goes down, the person who modified it can't even help with that because the company that orignally made it would be the only ones lightly to know. Its not worth the risk at the end of the day. If you're going to get pirated coppies, get your monies worth and pay nothing....give you some more money to spend on the company when they sue you for it.

  • I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for two years. I got a new printer and installed it although I did not remove my old printer from my computer. I used this program and my new printer for quite a few months, but today I deleted my old printer

    I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for along time now. When I first used the program I had a different printer than I have now. Although I changed printers I never removed the software from my old one. Now this was never a problem until today. When I choose a printer I still had option to use the old one but always chose my new HP Envy 5530 and Adobe never had a problem printing from that new printer. However today I decided to remove my old printer from my computer and now my Adobe cannot find my new printer.  How can I make it find the HP printer?

    Try this --

    If you are lucky...
    You could try coping the CD contents into your OS clipboard and paste it onto your destop. Run the setup.exe from this desktop folder. It's worth a try although I'm doubtful it's the answer.  (Opera shouldn't be a factor...use it myself.)
    Could be XP SP2 related maybe have a look at this thread:
    http://techrepublic.com.com/5208-6230-0.html?forumID=101&threadID=250182&start=0
    or perhaps the windows installer package isn't up to date...see this:

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Can't install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 onto my iMac from CD

    I can't install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 onto my iMac I just purchased. The software is brand new, the CD appears to read fine. The instillation "on-screen" instructions are not popping up. I have had the software a minute, purchased it new but was waiting till I could afford an iMac. Any suggestions?

    How are you using a CD with a new imac? They haven't had disc drives in years.
    Try downloading from here and use the serial number from your boxed version:
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7
    However, there are a couple of other things to try. First of all, PSE 9 has both mac and windows discs. If the disc doesn't mount on the desktop, then you've got the wrong one. Go get the other one and when it appears on the desktop, double click it.  Then double click Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, double click Install/Setup (can't remember which it was for PSE 9, sorry). There is no automatic install for PSE for mac, since macs have no autoplay function for security reasons, and there isn't any window with instructions, either. You just keep double clicking till it installs.

  • How can I deactivate Adobe photoshop elements 9 when its un-installed?

    How can I deactivate Adobe photoshop elements 9 when its un-installed? I told my husband I had to get it off the third computer but he trying to help me did not deactivate it before he  un-installed it!!!!
    Now what? I am only using this on 2 computers and I'm told I am using it on a 3rd and I'm not.
    How can I fix this?
    It wont work on the 3rd one anyway because its so old and limited it crashes every time I try. But I need this on my 2 good computers.

    One way could be to reinstall it on the third computer and then deactivate it and uninstall it.
    If that doesn't work out or if you'd rather try this route it should work... contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone and they should be able to help.  Chat is usually 24/7
    Here are some links to help make contact:
