Challenges on using Photoshop Element 6, G4 with Leopard and Canon S9000 printer

Unable to find the Print Dialog Box when using Photoshop Element 6, G4 with OS Leopard(10.5.8) and Canon S9000 printer in order to choose the media type(paper type) to print photos.

Okay, let's try it this way. You've got that dialog box onscreen. Click PRINT (see circle and arrow):
Then you should see this:
Click that arrow and that window should expand to show you this:
Your actual choices in the last menu may read a little differently but that's the pulldown where you choose.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 - Comparison with Picasa and Canon Zoom Browser

I have recently bought a new computer and connected it to a USB hard drive which contained all my photos and a copy of an Adobe Photoshop Elements (APE) 4 catalog which permitted me to run APE 4 directly from the USB drive. The new computer runs on Windows 7 with Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. When I attempted to open the old catalog, created in APE 4 APE 4, APE 7 needed to convert it. The converted catalog then needed to reconnect with files and this took hours because APE seems to be incapable of sorting this out automatically. On the other hand Picasa 3 dealt with the matter in minutes and Canon Zoom Browser dealt with it in seconds. Why is this? What are the advantages of using APE 7 over Picasa 3 or Canon Zoom Browser?

I avoid keeping photos on the C Drive of my computer because of adverse past experiences of losing data when problems arose and it was necessary to reinstall Windows. I prefer to use two separate hard disc drives connected to my computer using USB ports so that I have all photos and catalogs on each drive. PSE catalogs appear to be drive letter specific so that a catalog created on one drive will not function if simply copied to the other. In PSE-4 I overcame this problem by opening the copied catalog and changing all references to drive letters. In PSE-7 I am unable to open the database and my goal is to find a quick and efficient way of modifying a copied catalog so that it functions on a drive different to the one on which the catalog was created.
Finally, and at long last, a kindred spirit that won't keep photos on the OS drive. I was told as recently as >> yesterday << that my post about saving photos anyplace else but "C:/" was "non-sequitur".
Second, I'm sort of accustomed to "USB drive", as a synonym for "flash drive", and "Ext HDD" referring to an external HDD, (this makes sense, at least in my twisted individual perception), so accordingly, I apologize for my knee-jerk lecture about it. (In hindsight, perhaps the only child in me is expecting too much also).
I never use external HDDs, but rather install additional HDDs internally to accomplish the same net result. My sensibilities here are, they are quite a bit less expensive, they do the same job, and you don't have addional s*** laying all over the place.
IMO, you are overthinking the database issue. I get to say that since I have no such ability to do so, and additionally, I have never been unable to reconnect a catalog other than within the normal Windows environment.
Therefore, I suggest changing the drive letter(s) to that of the old drive(s), and remain in blisslful ignorance as to whether PSE-7 is using the SN# or Drive letter to do its "dirty work".
As Mr. Ellis has pointed out, you're trying to do too many things at once. I'm going to suggest an "experimental" fix which is sort of backwards from Mr. Ellis', but retains the same spirit.
Install PSE-4 on the NEW machine! Insert its catalog file into its (PSE-4) correct folder. This location can be found by "Help" > "System Info".
Upon installation, PSE-4 will generate a new catalog, "My Catalog", therefore you must change the old catalog's name, (say "My Catalog 2"), to avoid a conflict.
You might have to change the "compatibility" mode for PSE-4 several times, before PSE-7 will be able to follow the file path.
As an additional note, since PSE-7 is technically, (according to Adobe), "incompatible", you can match its compatibility mode with PSE-4's, at the onset. After you have stabilized the system, change PSE-7's mode back to whatever works best.
If you need any more info on these operations, please feel free to post back.
I would like to add, that my PSE-7 in Windows 7 runs poorly in comparision with the same program in the XP environment. This seems not to be "typical", but IMO, worth mentioning.
Please also bear in mind that you can paste the entire catalog file into the "Open Catalog" dialog box, and PSE will place in its folder for you...!
Then, assuming the HDD letters are the same, it will reconnect "instantly", or in the case of a PSE-4 ".psa" cat file, PSE-7 will convert it, then open it instantly.
As an afterthought, by changing the drive letters, then pasting the .psa file into the "Catalog Open" dialog box, you do not have to make any additional installations of PSE, nor muck about in any database.

Check applications for compatibility.
PE4 won't work.
PE6 seems to work as well as PE9.

Can I use Photoshop Elements 3.0 with Windows 7?

Can I use Photoshop Elements 3.0 with Windows 7?

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

What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

Use Photoshop Elements 9 as default editor and organizer

I moved to iMac from /windows. I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 on my Mac and also iPhoto. Iphoto cam preinstalled on the mac. I want to use PSE exclusively and not iPhoto. I don't want to uninstall iPhoto, just want to have PSE set as the default editor and organizer of my photos. How do I set my system to use PSE?
Thanks

Can I print a contact sheet that includes the caption for each photo using Photoshop Elements 13 for Mac. I previously used Photoshop Elements 6 for the PC and could do this.

I just switched to a Mac and installed Photoshop Elements 13. I previously worked with many years with Photoshop Elements 6 on a PC where I used the contact sheet function -- with each's photo's caption included -- to print print a collection of 400+ member photos for a club I belong to. This worked beautifully. I assumed I'd still have this ability with my new software, but can't figure out how to do it. Help.

Try using psd. Some rerports indicate some confustion between the apps with TIFF. See:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15921933#15921933
I cannot confirm, nor test, since I use PS CS5, and not Elements.

Is Photoshop Elements 2 compatible with Tiger and iWeb?

I went to the Version Tracker site but could not navigate well enough to find Photoshop Elements 2. There was a lot about Photoshop Elements 4, but not 2.
I then went to Adobe.com to find information but without results. When I entered Photoshop Elements 2 I got routed to a long list of problems, but not the more generalized issue of compatibility with OS 10.4/Tiger.
So I return to this forum with the simple question: If I upgrade to Tiger and then to iLife '06, will my existing Photoshop Elements 2 be compatible with both?
Thank you in advance for any answers to my question..........

Regarding Photoshop Elements 2 vs. Photoshop Elements
4... these are simply versions of the same basic
program. You know how software companies do things.
They pack a couple more features in and give the
software a new number every few months in the hopes
of selling a few more copies.
James, the incident that stuck in my memory was about my cousin Dale, who is a musician. He was using a certain songwriting program and was not able to upgrade to Jaguar, I think (or Panther?) because, according to him, that music writing program would not be able to work on Panther! I extrapolated from that.........

Unable to set wireless connection with imac and Canon MX860 printer ...

I recently converted to a Mac and bought a Mac Book, iMac, Airport Extreme, and a Canon MX860 printer. i have installed the canon software numerous times on my iMac to set up the wireless connection. yes, the airport extreme recognizes the printer and i am able to connect to my private and guest networks. the signal strength is good. It's the next part that I'm always stuck at. The Printer settings does not display when i choose More Printers and select Canon IJ Network. I called Apple support and we tried changing my network settings to an unsecured network and it still has the same issue. It was recommended this may be Canon driver issue and advised me to contact Canon. I reset the Airport, changed my network name and password .. i think i tried everything and it still does not work. What was I thinking when i said i wanted to convert to Mac? I can't move forward and connect my macbook or pc yet until I successfully connect the imac. Yes, i installed the latest canon IJ Network tool. of course the USB connection is fine but that defeats the whole purpose if why i bought this printer. please advise how to fix. this is getting very frustrating.

Some help at http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV352LL/A perhaps in the comments.
And maybe at http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PIXMA-MX860-Wireless-Printer/product-reviews/B001R4C 5BK in the comments.
"I ran into the same network installation issue that I've seen in other Canon printers. Canon's network setup forces you to connect by USB cable first. Only after you tell the program that you want to use the computer over the network can you remove the USB cable, move the printer if needed, and if you're using a wired connection, reconnect a network cable. The process isn't particularly difficult, but it's more cumbersome than what other printers let you do, which is simply put the printer where you want it, plug in an Ethernet cable, and install the software." source = http://shop.pcmag.com/shop/product/pcmag/84634068.aspx?SB=6&OB=1
"MAC wireless network printer setup requires turning off firewall, and works fine if you leave firewall off (not recommended). If you set firewall at "essential connections only," wireless networked MX860 won't work. You must add MP navigator and solution apps to your firewall enabled list. Then it worked fine on the admin account, but still won't work on users account which required additional permission settings and selections. After 2 hours it worked fine, but I would've expected better instruction manual for MAC." source = http://cnet.nytimes.com/multifunction-devices/canon-pixma-mx860/4852-3181_7-3352 9769.html
"The only trouble that I have had with this machine is setting up the wireless network. The manual instructions are impossible for me to understand and I ended up having to call for assistance. Which easily solved the problem. And again when I had to reconfigure my network settings it was impossible to follow the logarithm of instructions in the manual. Again I needed to call for assistance. If I need help after the year manufacture's warranty I will be charged for these calls." source = http://www.zimbio.com/InkjetPrinter+Reviews/articles/1932/Canon+PIXMA+MX860+Wireless+One+PhotoPrinter
Even Windows people have trouble:
"I NEED INTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CONNECT MY HP LAPTOP TO THE CANON MX860 PRINTER."
"I'm with you. I have my mx860 connected usb to my pc with the printer being shared but my wireless laptop can't find it no matter what I try."
And, unhappy Vista person:
"I had high hopes for this printer - it seemed to have it all. But the wireless feature never worked, it only worked on my gigabit network for about two weeks (only THREE print jobs including the test print), and never observed it to work via USB - Vista (x64 Ultimate) would throw an error saying it could not attach the device."

Currently using Photoshop Elements 9 with 98,000 pix. Can I restore catalog to another PC?

I am currently using Photoshop Elements 9 on one PC and would like to transfer my catalog to another PC with is faster and more powerful PC? For example, could I install Photoshop Elements 10 on the faster PC and then import the Catalog Backup from Elements 9? Currently us Microsoft PCs, if that makes any difference?
Thanks,
Leon

First of all, use PSE9 on your old computer to make a full backup of your catalog and image files. Put this backup in a safe location, such as an external HDD, and don't mess with it. If something goes wrong, you'll need to restore your catalog from this backup to get back to where you started from. Let's call this backup "PSE9 Backup Golden".
Now the question becomes "Can PSE10 restore from a version 9 backup?". I don't know, so you have 3 options:
1. The "I feel lucky" option.
Use PSE9 on your old computer to make a new, full backup onto an external HDD. (Call this backup "PSE9 Backup New".)
Install PSE10 on your new computer.
Use the PSE10 Organizer to restore that "PSE9 Backup New" to your new computer, answering "Yes" to any prompt about converting the catalog to the new version.
2.
Use PSE9 on your old computer to make a new, full backup onto an external HDD. (Call this backup "PSE9 Backup New".)
Install PSE9 on your new computer.
Install PSE10 on you new computer.
Use PSE9 on your new computer to restore "PSE9 Backup New" to your new computer.
Open the restored PSE9 catalog in PSE10 and say "Yes" to the prompt about converting it to the new version.
3.

I have tested the first solution without any problem with different PSE6 catalogs, one of which with 32 000 pictures.

Can I use Photoshop Elements images to illustrate a book I plan to sell?

If I were to use Photoshop Elements images, background designs etc and cut and paste, copy and use in collages to illustrate a book I plan to sell, am I breaking copyright laws?

Yes, you can do this. Adobe is concerned about people who reverse engineer the programs, not about people who use them as intended. Of course, for any additional styles, shapes, etc, it would depend on the developer's license terms. But there is no restriction on using PSE to create things to sell, no more than on PS.

Printing problems using Photoshop Elements 6

I have been using Photoshop Elements 6 for several years and am currently having printing problems, e.g., some prints are too light, some are too saturated, or too dark...they just don't look like the screen which looks pretty good. I use Spyder 3 Pro to calibrate my monitor. Does anyone know of any websites that address these type of problems. Looking for some advice, tips, etc.
Thanks.

Does this happen only in PSE6 or in other programs that can print graphics, like Acrobat or Word or PowerPoint?
I only ask because my LexMark started to vary color saturation shortly before the print head dumped an entire cartridge onto one page and it gave up the ghost.
It wasn't just pictures. Word documents would go from light to dark. Graphics (business cards, labels) would print bright and then dim on the same page.

First of all, I would have to say that getting in touch with you is a nightmare and I am not at all happy that I can't just email or live chat with someone who can help! I am not a technical person, I just want to be able to use Photoshop Elements and get on with it. I bought Photoshop Elements via Amazon some months ago and it worked fine. I then got a message that advised that the trial version would expire, which it subsequently has (I have been trawling your site for weeks and weeks trying to find an email or phone contact to get some assistance). Relucltantly, I am now typing this - and I suspect it will not help in the slightest! I bought the FULL not TRIAL edition of Photoshop Elements and I have contacted Amazon who confirmed this, but say I need to contact you. Can you please let me know how I can resolve this?
