Dodge Tool in Photoshop Elements 8

Hi There, I have just tryed to adjust some pictures in my new photoshop elements
and can not find the dodge tool ANYWHERE, I am getting very frustrated as this is
one of the tools I use the most to adjust pictures of my work. Any help would be
very appreciated. If it is not included in elements is there any way to download it
as an extra?
Thanks

  • 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.

  • 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?

    I have Windows 8

  • Where do I find the copy stamp / tool in Photoshop elements 12?

    Where do I find the copy stamp / tool in Photoshop elements 12?

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to access automation tools in photoshop elements 11?

    I have photoshop elements 11 and the automation tools button is greyed out and cannot be selected. How can I access this function?

    I don't understand. There is no "automation" feature. It's an empty spot where you can put something if it needs it (mostly legacy plugins). There are no innate features that magically turn on when you install something.

  • How to reset the TOOLS in Photoshop Elements 12

        Hi everybody :
                            Every time I use the clone tool, I get the 'crosshairs" instead of the "circle".   I check in PREFERENCES to make sure I have the  "circle" selected.    And I also click on RESET TOOL.   But, it seems that I have to  shut down my computer, reboot, and then the CLONE Tool wiil use the  "circle" to select what to copy / clone.      What could possibly be the solution to this dilemma ?
                                                                                                                                                                                 Thanks

  • Is There a Text Tool in Photoshop Elements?

    I have probably overlooked this somewhere, but before purchasing I need to know if you can add text to a photo in Photoshop Elements for Mac.
    Thanks,

    Yes.
    Here's the Mac Photoshop Elements 8 live help with info on the type tool.

    Note: The Elements type tool doesn't support tracking and kerning. This link explains what tracking and kerning is along with some more info on the Elements type tool although I'm not sure which version this is...probably E7.

  • My tools for photoshop elements 12 are locking up. WHY

    The last 6 times or so that I have tried to get onto my photoshop elements 12 and work on something, the tools are locking up and I have to force quite the program.
    I have tried several things and nothing is working.
    I don't see any up date for the program. The only thing that I did different was update my mac computer to Yosemite.....and that could be the problem....maybe something is not compatible.
    It is very frustrating to say the least. Any help would be appreciated!!

    Please update your mac to Yosemite 10.10.1
    This should solve your problem.
    Thanks,

  • Is the colour balance tool in Photoshop elements or just Photoshop?

    I'm doing a diploma in digital photography and I need to use a tool called Colour Balance which my course manual says is in Image>adjustments>Colour Balance.  I can't find this.  Is it somewhere else in Photoshop elements 8 or isn't it there altogether?
