Can't set Photoshop Elements 11 as default photo editor

When I right click on an image in Windows Explorer or Adobe Bridge, then click on "open with", in the list of image viewers and programs, Photoshop Elements is not listed. When I browse to the PE11 .exe file to select it, nothing happens. How can I set PE11 to be the default photo editing program?

  • Problem setting PhotoShop Elements 11 as default ext editor

    Don't know what I am doing wrong or not doing.
    I had previously used Pixelmator as my ext editor, but have now installed PhotoShop Elements 11, and wish it to be the default exterior editor.
    I have restarted the computer.
    PhotoShop Elements does not show up in the toggle choice under iPhoto Preferences>Advanced -- only iPhoto and Pixelmator.
    Suggestions? Thanks!

    Select Pixelmator again and you'll be asked to select the app of your choice again.  If you use iPhoto more than PSE 11 when you've selected PSE 11 you can reselect iPhoto. That will set iPhoto as the defauilt editor but let you use PSE 11 by control clicking on the thumbnail and selecting Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu.
    This may also be of interest to you:
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    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
    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  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    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:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE reselect iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • Can I use Photoshop Elements 13 save the photo directly on OneDrive (hence the album eventually example) Reason, I use Office 365 and have so 1T storage, then it is not necessary to have more "cloud"!

    g.n.a.s
    If your program is Photoshop Elements, you have posted in the wrong forum. Somehow your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
    If this is the case, please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator to see your thread here and move it from here to there.

  • Can I set Photoshop as my default editor in "Photos"?

    In iPhoto, I was able to set Photoshop elements as the default editor.  I can't seem to do this with Apple Photos.

    It's not possible. Apparently with the new app developers need to write an extension that hooks into Photos, and you're going to need to wait until they do that. In the meantime

    How can I use photoshop Elements 8 to make a DVD that will show on a regular TV-DVD set-up

    You can't do this in PSE by itself. I'm assuming you have windows, so output your slideshow as a wmv file and then use Premiere Elements to finalize the disc, if you have that. If not, use whatever you do have (if you can burn DVDs, you have software). Even windows dvd maker will do this.

  • Can't get Photoshop Elements 11 to install. Adobe Installer message: Installer failed to initialize.

    Can't get Photoshop Elements 11 to install.
    ... Adobe Installer message: Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.   
    ... Adobe Support Advisor message "Inspection could not identify any issues. Please contact Adobe Support for further assistance. http://www.adobe.com/support."
    ... .... So far I have downloaded twice, to two different folders (Desktop and my default download folder). Neither option has worked.  Please help!  I'd like to download Premiere Elements 11, but with this kind of installation problem on PSE11, it seems a second program may be as much of a problem to try to install.

    As Mylenium has stated all we have is a very general error message at this point so it is impossible to advise you until we have additional details.  Please review your installation logs by following the steps listed in Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-install-using-logs-elements.html.

    Probably.  Install PSE3 and see if it works.  If not, you can always try setting PSE3's "Compatibility Mode" to XP.

  • Can I get Photoshop Elements 6 Info into PE7?

    I've got my videos tagged and captioned in a Photoshop Elements 6 catalog. Can I get that keyword and caption data into Premiere Elements 7? I can definitely get the video clips into PE, but want the other info too for cataloging purposes. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Until proven otherwise, my answer to your question is No.
    I have Photoshop Elements 6 and Premiere Elements 4 as well as Photoshop Elements 7 and Premiere Elements 7 installed on my Windows XP desktop. If I tag videos in Photoshop Elements 7 and send those video over to Premiere Elements 7, the videos with tags travel great. However, if I tag videos in Photoshop Elements 6 and send those videos over to Premiere Elements 7, the videos travel but without the tags that I placed in Photoshop Elements 6 Organizer.
    I believe the issue evolves around a non integrated set as well as the fact that I believe Photoshop Elements 6 probably has a different Organizer format (ODBC database format) than the Organizer in Premiere Elements 7 (SQLite database format). I have not found a way in Premiere Elements 7 (File Menu/Catalog) to workaround this issue. Neither have I found a way to convert the Photoshop Element 6 catalog in Photoshop Elements 6 to make the transfer of tags along with the video. Even if I could, I  would need to think further into the possibility that the converted catalog would no longer be useable in Photoshop Elements 6.
    Right now I am pondering two possibilities for you:
    a. Upgrade your Photoshop Elements 6 to Photoshop Elements 7 so that you will have an integrated set (Photoshop Elements 7/Premiere Elements 7)
    and/or
    b. See if you can add and tag your videos to the Premiere Elements 7 Organizer and leave Photoshop Elements 6 catalog for your photos.
    I am going to explore possibility "b" to see how that works out. I do not use the Organizer of either Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements to any great extent, but you question interested me and got me wondering.

  • How many computers can I install Photoshop Elements 12 on?

    How many computers can I install Photoshop Elements 12 on?

    No, if you mean can you copy the installed version over. That never works because PSE is a highly complex program that strews stuff all over your hard drive and you can never hope to find all the bits and bobs. You should deactivate it on the computer you no  longer need, then install from scratch on the new machine.

  • CanI install Adobe Photoshop elements 11 on an external drive to get more room for my many pictures?

    Can I install photoshop elements 11 on an external hard drive? I need more space to work on my many pictures and would be using them on my desktop. This operates on Windows 7

    The program and catalog work best on the C drive but you can have your photos on an external hard drive, provided you keep the drive connected to the same USB port when using Elements.
    You can also drag and drop existing photos/folders to the external hard drive - but you need to do this within Organizer not in Windows Explorer.
