Elements is not part of creative cloud, never has been. PSE 12 does require you to create an adobe ID as part of installing it, but you don't have to have an internet connection after the first time you run it. You must stay signed in though. In PSE 12, sign in is activate, and if you sign out you deactivate your copy.

  • When I external edit an aperture photo using Photoshop Elements 9 and then get out, the changes are not reflected in Aperture when I return - this used to work for me but doesn't seem to have for some time - help please?

    Have used Aperture for some time - at some point this stopped working - not sure when
    workflow:
    click photo and elect to use the external editor (Photoshop Elements 9)
    Copy of the photo is created in Aperture with the "O" badge and I am rolled out to Photoshop
    Have to change the type to 8-bit in Photoshop to start making changes
    When done and I exit I am prompted to save the photo
    On returning to Aperture however the "O" badged photo does not get updated/reflect my changes
    Other Things:
    I can find a changed photo sitting in the Aperture Library using finder or Photoshop itself - so I know changes have been made a new file saved (TIFF).
    I am wondering if I am missing some (new) preference such that the changes are not proerly being saved for re-display/storage in the Aperture Library
    I am running Lion OSX at the moment but the behaviour was the same under Snow Lepoard versions.
    Current version of Aperture is 3.1.3, Elements is 9.0
    Any help/suggestions greatfully received

    Try using psd.  Some rerports indicate some confustion between the apps with TIFF.  See:

    I cannot confirm, nor test, since I use PS CS5, and not Elements.

  • Why must I have Internet access and be logged into Adobe to use Photoshop Elements?

    I can not use Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 unless I have Internet access and log into an Adobe account.  Why?  This means you can't install the software on a laptop and use it while traveling unless you have 100% Internet access throughout your trip.  What a load of .......  Why is this?  I there a way around it?
    Any advice appreciated.

    Thanks Barbara.  I tested it (trust but verify ) and that is the case.  I must have been logging out, and thus deactivating, in my earlier testing.  I agree, bad choice of words or phrasing by Adobe.   Thanks again.

  • How many times can a team member install Creative Cloud for teams ?

    How many times can a team member install Creative Cloud for teams ?
    Is it possible for one team member to install it for example on a portable mac and a desktop pc at the same time?

    From the Creative Cloud FAQ at https://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html under the Purchasing and getting started section:
    On how many computers can I install the software I download from Creative Cloud?
    You can install the desktop applications available in Creative Cloud on your primary computer and one backup computer, as long as they are not running at the same time. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for instance, you can install your applications on both. See the product license agreements page for more information.

  • I am member of creative cloud, so how to install Photoshop touch on iOS iPad 4 & not pay $9.99?

    I am a new member of the creative cloud and I have had no issues installing the creative cloud applications on my desktop (mac and PC), however my question regards installing the Photoshop touch app on the iOS iPad 4 device without having to pony up the $9.99 iTunes app fee.
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-photoshop-touch/id495716481?ls=1&mt=8
    The above URL is the path that the Adobe website provides to download the app, and I can successfully access via iOS iPad 4. However it appears that I need to purchase the app for $9.99. It is not clear how I can use my yearly creative cloud membership to avoid paying the app fee.
    Please advise if I am not looking in the correct place, or if I need to login via my Adobe ID to bypass this iTunes cost.
    I could not locate an installation guideline on the Adobe website, so please advise.
    Ken R. of New Jersey.

    Yup, clear now.
    I do like Adobe apps, but the price tends to be on the high side. I am a bit disapointed that the touch are not available via the cloud subscription, so I will stick with the desktop versions instead as they are more robust anyway.
    I see that Adobe has removed this statement under the plans, when the link is clicked, so I am certain I will not be the only person to be confused regarding what is included.
    Thanks for the follow-up, this was very helpful.

    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?  Louise A Fraser

    I am using Photoshop Elements 11.  Do all .jpg formatted file have to be retangular in shape?  I want to create an oval .jpg picture to insert into a book.  Haven't been able to do so.  It would work if I could make the area outside the oval completely transparent.  Can anyone help me here?

    JPG does not support transparency, so even if you create an oval with transparent background, the saved JPG will have white background. Instead, save it as a PNG, TIFF, or GIF which preserve the transparency.
    Here is one of many ways to create your oval:
    Create a new file the approximate size of the oval. Add the oval with the Custom Shape Ellipse tool, and simplify the shape layer.
    In the Layers Palette, Ctrl-click the oval to select it and copy the selection to the clipboard (Edit > Copy).
    Then do File > New from Clipboard. This creates the oval with transparent background cropped to the oval size.
    Then save it as one of the file types that support transparency (and also supported by the application where you are sending the picture to).
    Note:  Is is not even necessary to do step 2. That is only if some reason you want the oval to be tightly cropped. It is sufficient to delete the Background layer in step 1 (or turn off its visibility) and save the file. The oval will appear correctly in the book with either version.

    My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download or re-install. " and then the button "Buy Now". When I hit the Buy Now button I am put in a field to buy Photoshop Elements 13, with no way to change to Elements 10. I do not want to go through the hassle of reinstalling etc. In fairness, it's been over a month since making the decision to buy. Still, I consider this a nightmare. Any ideas on how to buy the app I've got withou having to purchase a whole new one? Thanks.
    If worse comes to worse, will I need to uninstall the trial if I buy a new version? Can I use part of it lime download assistant?

    Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.  If you wish to purchase an older version you will have to find and take your chances with a third party vendor.

    Try resetting Photoshop Preferences.   Use your Photoshop start icon to launch Photoshop and immediately press and hole Shift+Ctrl|CMD+Alt|Option keys   Photoshop should Prompt you with Do you want your Preferences deleted. Reply yes.   Photoshop should then delete your user ID preferences and then create a default set of preferences for your ID and start successfully.

  • I have 278 photos in Photoshop Elements 13 that I want to upload in album order to Shutterfly for a book.

    I am using Photoshop Elements 13 and Windows 8.1.  I have my photos in album order and I want to load them in this order.  When I try to load them to the Cloud they become disorganized.  I can not find a way to upload them to Shutterfly to make a book.  Is there a way to do this?

    This is a two part process. First we title the photos, then we export them, using the title as filename.
    To title them
    Once you have then in the order you want select them all and go
    Photos -> Batch Change. Select set 'Title' to 'Text'
    Choose a Title -> Graduation 2013 or whatever, then check the box at 'Append number to each photo.
    Now, in the Album all your photos are named... Graduation 001, 002, 003 etc
    Next Export them:
    File -> Export, and in the Name option, choose 'Title as Filename' and complete the export.
