Cookie Cutter Tool in Photoshop Elements 11

I am unable to make a shape from a photo using the Cookie Cutter Tool. I duplicated the photo. Clicked on cookie cutter icon. Created shape. Clicked on green check mark. The new layer is transparent. I cannot make the shape appear. Thanks. Helen

Hi Joe,
Thanks so much for your response.
The shape does not appear on the duplicate layer once I click the green check mark.
I clicked the eye symbol on the original layer per your suggestion. The second layer is a checker board, which I understand indicates transparency.
The shape does not show at all in this second (duplicate) layer.
I know this will be a V-8 moment once I realize what I have done. Thanks again.

Adding cookie cutter shapes to Photoshop Elements 7.0

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0, and I was wondering if there was a way to add cookie cutter shapes to the images the program already comes with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

In addition to suggesting that David post the Photoshop Elements part of his upgrade question on this forum, I had posted some comments in his original thread over on the Premiere Elements forum. I will repeat those comments here so that others on this forum can make comments against my recommendations.
In general I think that your PSE 3 tags and collections will be carried forward when your catalog is upgraded from PSE 3 to PSE 7. What were "Collections" in PSE 3 will become "Albums" in PSE 7.
Now it is very important that in the PSE 3 Organizer BEFORE your catalog is upgraded, you do
-- Reconnect All Missing Files
-- Catalog Recover
These commands are available from the File menu of the PSE 3 Organizer. They "clean up" your existing PSE 3 catalog and a clean catalog can avoid many potential problems during the upgrade process.
You did not ask about any "Creations" in PSE 3 and I do not think the Creations (Slide Show or Photo Book is an example of a creation) will carry forward from PSE 3 to PSE 7. So it is good if the info that you do need is the PSE 3 Collection rather than a PSE 3 Creation.
Here are some Adobe techdoc references about upgrade to PSE 7 Organizer
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb404990
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb404991
and in general I would scan the list of top issues techdocs at
http://www.adobe.com/support/photoshopelements/
The 2 I suggested above are on that list.
Be aware that the format and folder locations of the PSE catalog changed significantly between PSE 5 and PSE 6 (the 1st techdoc discuses this), so as you are migrating from PSE 3 to PSE 7 there will be some difference and how much you notice differences may depend on how deep you went in to PSE 3. The second techdoc, which discusses placing the PSE catalog in a non-standard folder location is one example of such a case. I say this not to scare you, but instead to make you aware of the potential for differences if there is initially a glitch in the upgrade process on your system.

How do I use the cookie cutter tool?

I have a lot of questions to ask on how to use this program. I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, and I can't seem to get the tools to work. I click things on and nothing happens or I get a buzz indicating that whatever it is I want to do, I can't. I went to the cookie cutter tool and clicked that on. I figured out how to pick a shape, but then what? No matter what I clicked, nothing happened. How do I get it to work? I have a book called 'Teach Yourself Visually Adobe Photoshop Elements 8' and the pages are very clear, but whatever options are given in the book, I can't find in my program. I am sure part of the problem is that i have this program on a Mac. Maybe the Mac version doesn't work like the PC version. I can't seem to find any directions for this. I clicked on help and it brought me to a web page for Mac Photoshop Elements 8, and I did a search for 'cookie cutter' and nothing came up. I also looked at all the options available for help and didn't see any 'cookie cutter' tool instructions. How can I learn how to use this software? Thanks for any help.

I don't remember what the directions were yesterday, when I was experimenting with Photoshop, but I believe that the directions told me to use the custom shape tool, but I couldn't find it. It said to click on the rectangle, and a menu would come up, but no menu came up. So I thought I would just experiment and click on 'cookie cutter' and see what would happen when I clicked on it. I tried using some keyboard shortcuts to see what would happen (just trying to figure out how to get something to work) and at the web site for Photoshop for Mac, it said to click 'Q' (I can remember what was supposed to happen), but I clicked 'Command' and 'Q' at the same time and it closed the program! The web site didn't say which other key to use with the Q, and nothing happened when I just clicked the Q. Another thing I was trying to do was to make something in Photoshop (this was on another web site) and I had to go to 'window' then the next step was to go to 'channel' and click it on. I went to window and there was no 'channel' in the drop down menu. There were other options, but no 'channel'.

Using the cookie cutter tool

I am having trouble cropping a photo with the cookie cutter tool. When I drag a shape over my photo, my photo disappears, leaving the gray/white checkerboard. Any advice?

From the nature of your question I think that you have posted in the wrong forum. Somehow your thread was posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
If your thread question is as I believe a Photoshop Elements question, then please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to move your thread from here to there.

Thank you.

How do you change radius with rounded square cookie cutter tool?

The radius on the cookie cutter tool is a bit too much for me. I need rounded corners, but smaller radius. 10px if possible.
Any help would be great, as I am very new and using Photoshop Elements 10

There's not an easy way to do that, so you may have to use the Rounded Rectangle Tool instead.
Grouped with the other shape tools in the toolbox.

I'm trying to use the quick selection tool in Photoshop Elements 12 but it keeps getting stuck on minus. How do I fix this?

I'm trying to use the quick selection tool in Photoshop Elements 12 but it keeps getting stuck on minus. I've reinstalled twice and it will work for a little while and then get stuck again. When I select something, I have one shot at it and as soon as I let go of the mouse it switches to minus and I can't add anything else. How do I fix this?

When a tool misbehaves, go over to the far upper right corner of the tool options area and click the four-lined square. Choose Reset Tool from the popout menu.

PSE 6 for Mac: Only have one shape in the Cookie Cutter tool

I just installed PSE 6 for Mac and am getting familiar with it. When I tried to use the Cookie Cutter tool, I have no choices (no black arrow next to the star in the toolbar) and it always is a 'heart' (cute, but was hoping for more choices). Any suggestions on why this is, and how to repair? Thanks in advance for any help...

Actually, I found the answer...disregard my question. Newbie error. Thanks for understanding!

Straighten tool in Photoshop Elements 12

When I use the straighten tool in Photoshop Elements 12 and click on the "Grow and Shrink" and then check the "autofill" my picture is straightened but it is not autofilling. Instead I see the black and white checkered background in the areas where it should have autofilled. I do not know what I am doing wrong?

Hi,
Make sure you are in Expert mode (click on Expert at the top).
The Clone stamp tool appears in the Enhance group - make sure the tool option is set correctly.
Hope that is the one you want.

Can't see all tools in Photoshop Elements 11 on Mac

I just got Photoshop Elements 11 for my mac today however I cant seem to use all the tools. The tool bar cuts off after the cookie cutter option in modify and I cant scroll down to reach the rest of the opions. Is there anything I can do to see the rest of the tools. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

Is this a first generation macbook air? If not, check that your screen resolution is where it should be, i.e., the highest possible pixel count, in system preferences>displays.

Where can I find the colour range selection tool in Photoshop Elements 11?

Note: It is not under the Selection tab in the menu. This tool is very useful and Adobe help is making it very hard to find.

The Select>Color Range is only in the full versions of photoshop such as photoshop cs6.
As far as i know that's never been available in photoshop elements (from the factory sorta speak) except in version 3 using an action created in photoshop.
There are many other ways to make selections in photoshop elements.
As a side note and not really pertaining to your version of elements, years ago back in the pre os x days, there was a plugin for photoshop/photoshop le/pse 1 on macs quite similar in function to select>color range.
