Can you group layers in photoshop elements?

deciding whether to buy photoshop elements or reg photoshop - need to be able to group layers and open layers from CS4 - can I do that with elements 13?

To be able to work with layer groups in Elements 13, you need an add-on from an external software.
For instance, the very affordable tool set from Elements+ ($12)has a script for that:

  • Merging layers in Photoshop Elements 8

    I'm having trouble merging layers in photoshop elements 8. I have a .psd file that I have used in the past to add a background color, shape template, and restrict the size of images I have posted to my website. In the past I have used photoshop elements 6, and to accomplish what I'm trying to do I selected open-apple - G. This worked in the past, but is not bringing the layers together as expected. I went online and found that I could accomplish this by holding down option and clicking on the line that seperated the two layers, and this worked for me once and I have been unable to repeat it since. Any idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to apply a style to these web photos, and it's simply not working for me. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.

    Looking at your image, you do know you have a layer set/group,which is like a folder in the layer structure? You can't apply a layer style to a folder, which is what you're trying to do in your screenshot.
    This gets very confusing because of adobe's switching the names for these things around:
    1. You have what used to be called a layer set and is now called a layer group, which is a folder in the layer structure. PSE doesn't natively do these: is this your image with the group created via an add-on, or did someone send it to you this way?
    2. What used to be called layer groups are now called clipping masks. That's when you want to do something like crop the visible part of a layer to the shape of the layer beneath it.
    It's not really clear where you want the layer style, why you have a layer group, and which layer you want the style on. If you can explain more, it would help.

    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,
    Brian

  • Can I store photos in Photoshop Elements Editor?

    I have OSX Lion 10.7.  Before spending $80 on Photoshop Elements 10 Editor from the  Apple App Store, I have a couple of questions...
         1.  Can I download photos from my camera directly to Photoshop Elements, or must thry go to iPhoto first?
         2.  After I process photos using PSE Editor, can I store them in Photoshop Elements, or must they be stored in iPhoto?
            Thanks for your help.........

    Elements editor is an editor, not a storage program. Even the full version of PSE that you buy elsewhere than the app store does not store your photos. The organizer program that comes with that is merely a database of the photos you store elsewhere.
    You don't have to use iphoto if you don't want to. If you want an image manager there are several others to choose from (aperture, lightroom, etc), or you can just use folders if you prefer that method.
    In any case, all the Elements Editor does is edit, not store.

  • What can I do when  in Photoshop Elements (version 11) the organizer does not start up??

    !@@

    Yes, thanks a lot. I understand now.
    I now am able to open the old catalog again!! I tried now several times with the new shortcut.
    Thank you very much indeed for ALL YOUR EFFORT and patients with me.
    You suggest now I should click on the repair button. When I do so, the catalog will be overwritten, or I can choose not to overwrite and than the catalog will be twice as big. So I decided not to click on the repair button. When I see afterwards that some functions do not work anymore, I allways can use the repair button. As far as I can see now nothing is lost.. )
    As far as I understood it is only possible to repair with a backup. Happily I made that allways, but I am afraid to use it, for the reason above.
    When I have more time to spare, I will look for all the foto's from the apps of my cellphone and delete them.
    Now I can finish my fotowork, what I had started before, and make Photoshop Elements again the main fotoprogram on my desktop.
    Thank you again! Trees

    I am using a Mac and just bought Photoshop Elements 13. I have been given a 28 page Pdf and have been asked to optimize the item to reduce the file size. Can this be done in Photoshop Elements? if so how?

    No the pages will open as separate documents in Expert Mode. You really need Acrobat or possibly you could copy and paste the contents into MS word. Then re-save as PDF.

  • How can I syncronize Lightroom and Photoshop Elements data?

    How can I syncronize Lightroom and Photoshop Elements data?

    Hi Palsaran,
    As i understood, your requirement is to POST data from UI to backend.
    The above code you given is not correct if you want to use model based implementation.
    In UI5 you don't need to do an explicit Ajax call, for which we can use Models like OData, JSON etc.
    For your JSON example, you can use like,
    var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
    var oData = "YOUR JSON DATA";
    oModel.setData(oData)
    oModel.loadData(yourURL/Entityset,"POST");
    For ref, you can use the below link
    JsDoc Report - SAP UI development Toolkit for HTML5 - API Reference - sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel
    Thanks

    Moving this discussion to the Photoshop Elements forum.
    JaxsWawa I don't believe there is printable manual available for Photoshop Elements 12.  Instead the help content is primarily available via help files.  The Users in the Photoshop Elements forum though may have additional suggestions on resources which you can obtain.
    There is also several getting started tutorials available at http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/topics/getting-started-tutorials.html.
