Does pse 13 for Mac have slide show capabilities?

i am using PSE 10 which does not support slideshows on the Mac platform. Does PSE 13 (Mac) include slide show capabilities? If so, is it as versatile as the PC platform?

There is a completely new slideshow in PSE 13, which is the same for both platforms. It isn't as customizable as the old slide show editor.

Raw images do not show up in Bridge CS4 for PSE 8 for Mac

I just downloaded PSE 8 for Mac and my raw files no longer show as thumbnails. I can open them in Elements, but the image is blank in Bridge. These same images were fine in CS3 (PSE 6 for Mac). I have downloaded and installed the new Camera Raw 5.6 plug-in but that didn't work. Any suggestions? Thank you!

You have to update bridge separately from PSE, and bridge ships with a pretty old version of ACR. Just go to Help>Updates in bridge and it will update itself for you.

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

Thanks for the reply. I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long. After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix. I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

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!

Editing Music for an IDVD slide show

Is there a way to edit a song that you are using when you are creating an IDVD? For example, I have a song I like for a particular slide show I've created. However, I want to edit out the first part of the song because it's just too slow. Is there a way to do this. I have I-Life - not sure if there is a program there I can use or if you can do it with IDVD
Thanks!

Each slide is treated as one chapter within iDvd's slideshow. Suggest you keep each slideshow at 99 slides or less for best results in predictable Dvd playback. If you exceed 99 slides per slideshow you may get mixed results depending on which set top dvd player one uses. Some set top players will freeze at slide #100, 200, etc. Some will pause briefly (like the pause between Dual Layers), and others won't read it at all. The 99 slideshow limit does not apply if one uses a mac for playback in most cases.
If you must exceed 99 slides then consider using iMovie or a 3rd party app to create the slideshow. Other than iM, here are 2 more apps that come highly recommended in this Forum:
http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/overview/
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
If you happen to own a QT Pro key, then it too has the ability to edit both audio and video (as do other apple video editing apps like iMovie and FCP/FCE).
Other apps that edit audio well are Garage Band as well as these handy 3rd party apps:

Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

PSE 8 for Mac says "License expired"

Hello.
I am having a problem with PSE 8 for mac. The situation for my software is complicated but it my be germane. I download the trial version of the software and liked it. I put the software on my wishlist. My in-laws got a copy of the software for Christmas, but they bought the windows version from Costco. Because Costco does not sell Mac software, I called up Adobe support and asked if they would cross grade me. I did not want to return the software at Costco and not be able to get it. So, I thought I would call Adobe and see what they could do -- cross grade could be a win/win. They said that they would if I sent the serial number. I did that, then they said that I need to pay $25 to cross grade, which I did not want to do. I asked them to just give me a permanent serial number. Adobe eventually did give me a permanent serial number for the PSE 8 trial and that is what I have been using.
At about the time of the 10.6.3 update, PSE stopped working giving an error message "Licensing for this product has expired". I tried a number solutions listed on the support site here at Adobe, but no have worked EXCEPT turning back the clock to 2008. Is there a way to get this to work without having the clock wrong?
Thanks.

This shouldnt have been the case. I am sorry that you are experiencing this issue.
Can you please try to do the following:
1. When your system date is in year 2008 and you are able to work successfully with PSE Editor, go to Help Menu inside Editor and click on the link saying Help->Deactivate...
2. Select the option to erase serial number and deactivate the product.
3. This will quit PSE Editor as well.
4. Launch PSE Editor again and now supply the serial number which Adobe gave to you again...
Hopefully, this error message wouldnt come now...Please keep me informed...
Regards,
Ankush

I used to use PS "actions" are they in PSE 8 for Mac?

I have been using an old version of Photoshop for Mac. Under the Windows heading there was an Actions option where I could "record" some actions to edit photos and the"play" it to perfrom the same actions on different photos.
In PSE 8 for Mac I see that under Guided Edit there is an Action player with 4 presets, none of which suit my purposes. It says that I can add (from where I don't know) or create my own actions sets by referring to the Help menu. When I search the help menu for " Create Action set" I get 15 topics and none of them seem to be about creating actions sets.
I'd like to be able to record a set of acttions such as OPEN FILE- SIZE IMAGE-UNSHARP MASK-SAVE-CLOSE- and then play it back.
Help appreciated.
thanks,
Rob

When you save an action from photoshop 7, you should be able to
choose the place for saving (i.e. desktop).
The default place for saving actions is very often in the ps7 application folders.
Something like: Applications>Photoshop 7>Presets>Photoshop Actions.
As far as what actions from ps7 work in pse8, try to record steps in your
action that are available in pse8. Something like unsharp mask will work,
but not a command such as convert to cmyk. There are alot of commands
that are not on the pse8 menus that do work such as a layer mask or trim.
It would be good idea to test your actions in pse8, before installing a whole bunch and
finding that half of them don't work.
You could make test action for this purpose. In ps7, record an action
such as Image>Trim.
Name this action set Test (you can name the actual actions anything you want)
and put it in your pse8 photo creations>photo effects folder.
Then delete (move to your desktop) the MediaDatabase.db3 and start pse7
(this will take a while to rebuild the effects panel).
The Test action should be visable in the effects panel after selecting
photo effects and show all. It wiil just be a black thumbnail named Test.
From now on when you want to test an action, just replace the Test action
with another action named Test, but with the action steps your testing
and no need to delete any files (database).
By testing your actions in this way, you avoid the hassle of making a
xml file and a png thumbnail for an action that may not work.
When installing actions that have been tested, you also need a xml file
and a png thumbnail file in addition to the action. (look at xml and png
files already in the photo effects folder for examples).
You don't have worry about the jpeg files, as elements generates these itself.
It's a good idea to delete (move to desktop) the the MediaDatabase.db3
and the ThumbDatabase.db3 anytime you install actions other than the Test action.
After you start pse8 and everything works, you can delete those files from your desktop.
There is also an action player in pse8 under guided edit>automated actions.
As tempting as it may be to test actions with the actions player, i would avoid that.
One very good reason is that some of commands that are in pse8 don't work with
the actions player, for example, any of the transform commands.
In addition to texaschicksblog mentioned above, you may also want to read this pdf:

PSE 5 for MAC?

I tried to search to see if this is posted somewhere....I didn't have any luck. Is there a chance that there will be a PSE 5 for MAC? I have #3 and wondered about upgrading to 4 or waiting for 5.
Thanks much,
Ginger

>He didn't mention if it was UB, but I hope so.
That would involve recoding the whole program, and you can be sure that when/if Adobe does that, it won't be a simple point update. 4.01 is available now. In PE 4, go to Help>Updates. It's needed to run Adobe Camera Raw 4.0 or 4.1.

How do I import pictures on PSE 8 for Mac? How to use bridge?

Hi
I have downloaded PSE 8 for Mac and I am quite disoriented. I used to use PSE for Windows and I am lost. How do I import the pics that are on my imac?
I read somewhere on the net that I should use the bridge module but I cannot find how to use it. Could you explain step by step? Please help!
Thanks a lot

You don't exactly "import" photos to the mac version, because it doesn't store them or keep records of them. Download the photos to your computer however you want (I wouldn't use the adobe downloader for mac unless you have a specific reason to do so), then you can either open them from finder or point bridge to the folder they're in.
If you use iphoto, you should PSE as your external editor and send your photos from there.
Bridge is just a browser. It doesn't care what you do to your photos when not using it, so you don't see it throwing up its hands and shrieking that it can't find them the way organizer does if you move photos in explorer.

Has the licensing for PSE 8 for Mac stopped working? Is it fixable? How?

Has the licensing for PSE 8 for Mac stopped working? Is it fixable? How?

Are you sure you're in the right library? You have three library folders on your mac: system>library (Never touch that), your username>library and a library at the top level of your hard drive. You want the last one. In recent versions of OS X it's not hidden, but it's hard to get to it. The easiest way is to into the finder preferences>Sidebar and turn on Show Hard disks. Then the name of your hard drive will appear in the list on the left side of any finder window. Click it and the library you want will be in the top level of results.

Opening animated gif in PSE 8 for Mac

I am switching from PSE for PC to PSE 8 for Mac.
I have always been able to open animated gif as layers and work with them, then resave as an updated animated gif.
WIth PSE 8 for Mac, I get a pop up that the file is animated and can only see the top frame. Any ideas on how to open up all of the frames in layers?

Do I need to enable this process for my Mac? Maybe I'm missing a plug-in or update?
I have been opening these files from others, tweeking and resaving for almost 2 years in PSE. It definitely will not shuffle the individual panels on an animated gif into the layers box.
My tweeking usually involves adjusting frame speed. Is that what you mean by 'frame rate'?
Thank you for your help.

Printing with PSE 8 for Mac

Hi,
hope some of you may give me some help.
Have tried to print with PSE 8 for Mac, but in the printing options there is none where i can choose the type of paper (ie: glossy, premium glossy....).
My printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400.
It works fine with iPhoto, here i can choose paper type. And prints come out fine.
Thanks for any advice,
dangerly

My printer is a Canon so not entirely sure if this helps but when I print from PSE 8 I do not get to choose the media type until I have clicked on the print button in the PSE dialog box. I am then presented with the dialog box for my printer where I can set the media type amongs other attributes.
It is normal for the media type to be the job of the printer driver so perhaps it is the same for your printer.

PSE 8 (for Mac) refuses to launch - with message

Just tried to launch PSE 8 (for Mac), it didn't launch, but produced the message: "Could not open scratch file because disk is not available."
(tried this four times with the same result each time)
Conclusion: because the most recent backup to RAID filled that disk, PSE 8 cannot access the scratch disk on the RAID backup disk.
(This, even though I removed over 80 GB of old video files from the archive.)
I purchased PSE 8 11/28/2009 - can I use an app removal utility to remove this installed version and re-download another installer? It seems the most direct approach but first I have to ensure I can download a "replacement" and find out the original serial number to activate that replacement.
The original directions from Adobe indicate that all I have to do is access my order history and the serial number will be on the order form. I'm not seeing any clearly identified serial number on that order.
So my question are;
1. Should I first remove the original PSE 8 - or just the plists?
2. how to find the original serial number?
I do know already: once I have PSE 8 replacement installation running, I must set a scratch disk location on another (roomier) drive. this is not a problem: I have two 1 TB drives installed in my Mac Pro in addition to the two 500 GB drives which make up the (old) RAID.
Mac Pro 1,1 (2.66 Ghz Quad Core Xeon), OS 10.5.8

Good call but it didn't work: tried deleting those plists twice. Still get "disk not available" message w/ immediate PSE quit.
Further: I ran Diskwarrior on my "home" drive, the cloned "home" drive AND the RAID backup.
This included Directory repair, File Check and Hardware Check on all three volumes.
Also repaired permissions on "home" drive and cloned drive.
I then repeated the attempt to launch PSE 8 on my "home" drive and the cloned "home" drive: same result. (failure)
Sidebar: While running Disk Utility to repair permissions, I happened to click on the "RAID" button and found that
one drive is listed as "Failed" and the other is listed as "Degraded."
Just in case that has anything to do with the PSE 8 failure to launch: I am now using Disk Utility to rebuild that RAID set. This takes 4 hours and will wipe it clean. I'll try in the morning once again to launch PSE 8 and get back with result.

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's?

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?

driddy61,
As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
Adobe Reader for iOS
Adobe Reader for Android
Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers). Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example. You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
Tablets
However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
(a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
Example: Surface Pro 3
You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
(b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
Example: Surface 2
You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets. However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
Processor: Intel
Operating system: Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department. Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products.

Batch Saving jpg from Camera Raw PSE 6 for Mac

I'm running PSE 6 for Mac. I'm shooting in RAW to retain all data from sensor. My work flow is straight forward.
Review photos on CF card and do initial throw away of bad photos.
Download from CF card to Backup drive to preserve original photos.
I upload photos to Bridge, keyword, grade, and copywrite, etc. then open in Camera Raw and process as necessary; exposure, recovery, sharpen, fill-in, crop, fill-in etc.
Select all and do a save (default is .png) to save my changes. Since Camera Raw will not save to jpg format I open in PSE6
My workflow can change here depending on what my end product will be but usually I'll send some photos out to share which is the subject of another post. I can't make the program resize more than one photo for email even though I have all of the photos I want to email selected in the film strip.
Anyway my process for batch saving to jpg is as follows:
Select all of the photos (I will select only those that have been cropped to the same size such as 4x6) in the film strip.
Open File > Process Multiple Files
Fill out the dialogue box (see attachment) and press OK
The next thing that happens completely negates the automated process, I get the Save As Dialogue box for every photo (see attached)
I delete the "copy" text and save
   6. Some of the photos turn out black under preview in finder
   7. When I try to reopen the jpg in PSE6 I get an error message (see attachment)
Any help is appreciated.

Review photos on CF card
Stop right there! That's a very bad idea.   You should not be viewing images that are still on the card. Download them to your local hard drive first. Otherwise you run the risk of the software writing to the card and destroying the format.
This excerpt is from a long-gone post by author Bruce Fraser:
Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21)
Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.
         • Drains the camera battery
         • Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
         • Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
         • Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card
