Editor application

Whenever I try to edit a photo I get the message, "Unable to access the editor application." Any ideas of how to fix this?

I think it's a database error. Check you temp table settings and various tablespaces sizing.
If these are all OK, then you'd be best logging a bug.

PS Elements 5.0, Unable to Connect to Editor Application

I open a photo in the Organizer. When I try going to Edit-Quick Fix, I get "Unable to Connect to Editor Application". I am abe to go to Ful Edit, from the Organizer and then to Quick Fix from te Full Editor.
After "fixing" the photo, in Quick Fix, I do a save as, which the program does, but when I go back to the Organizer the thumbnail is blank with an hour glass in it. The photo is still in te organizer, just not visible. Does anyone know what is going on? I did update to Adobe Reader 9, yesterday. Could this have caused a problem?
I am using Windows XP, with PS Elements 5.0.

Since I posted this question I have deleted 400 + pictures that I recently added to the organizer and it seems to have solved the problem of opening the editor. However when I open a photo in the organizer and then open the editor and make "fixes", the thumbnail does not appear in the organizer when I do a "save as" and leave the editor. All I see in the organizer is a blanked out spot with an hour glass where the photo should be. The organizer will still open the photo, just no thumbnail. Any suggestions?
Does anyone know if there are any limitations on the number of photos the organizer can accommodate?

Unable to connect to editor application in PSE4

I've been running PSE4 quite happily on XPHome for some years. Today, having down loaded some new photos, I clicked to open the Quick Fix editor and got a dialogue box saying "Attempt to access invalid address". When I clear this another db appears saying "Unable to connect to editor application". It also does this with the Standard Editor. I tried a repair through the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel but this had no effect so I did a full uninstal, reboot and installation from scratch. No joy. Anyone have any idea what's going on here and how I can fix it?!

Jill,
>unable to connect to editor application
Sometimes this problem is caused by corrupted PSE preferences. So I suggest that you look at this Adobe technical document - Troubleshoot system errors or freezes in Photoshop Elements (4.0 on Windows XP). It is at the following link
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=331968
Within that document, scroll down to its topic on
b Re-create the Photoshop Elements preferences files.
Then be sure that Photoshop Elements 4 is not active and that you have rebooted your computer since the last time you expereinced this error. Then follow the instructions for that step in the document.

How do you start the Editor Application

I am experiencing difficulty in opening the Editor Application. I can only open the Tutorials. I am able to oprn the Organiser Application. So now I am wondering if I need to fill the organiser with photos before I can access the Editor Application. Any advice would be useful.
Many thanks
Scots

No, the organizer is totally voluntary. I'm not sure what tutorials you mean, but if you are using a mac (I'm guessing that since you say "application") and PSE 12 (also guessing since you don't say much) it's in Applications>Adobe Photoshop 12>Support Files>Photoshop Elements Editor.

Unable to connect to editor application

When I click "go to full Edit", a box pops up saying "attempt to access invalid address". When I click OK on that box then another one appears saying "unable to connect to editor applicaton". Any help appreciated

I was having the same problem, I right clicked the Icon on my desktop, went to properties, selected
compatibility tab and checked the box to Run as Administrator, seems to work for me.

Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Editor application:
C: >> Program Files (x86) >> Adobe >> Photoshop Elements 11
Within the Photoshop Elements 11 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (the application not the Adobe shortcut)
Select that file and click Next.
Then click Finish.
You should now be able to launch by right-clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen. Try choosing “Run As Administrator” That often improves stability.

How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor-..my files convert to jpegs

How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor. I have a MacBook. I use the iPhoto and move the files I want to work on into elements, but it converts the raw files into jpeg files.
Thanks for your help!!!

Are you opening the image directly from iPhoto? Right click & choose Edit in >> Photoshop Elements Editor
This link is old but gives information on set up. It relates to PSE11 but the principle is the same. In iPhoto prefs you navigate to the editor application in the support files folder. Start from Finder by holding down the Alt (Optn key) and choosing Library.

I can't install camera raw plugin for my PS elements 10 editor from app store for my mac os

Please help

Adobe says that downloaded patches don’t work with the app store version (see FAQ)
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/purchases-mac-app-store-faq.html
but some have found a work around. You can right-click the Editor application to show Package Contents if you are sufficiently technically minded to find your way around the OSX system. See the thread for Barbara’s instructions:

PLEASE HELP! Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 editor won't open!!

Hi! I'm new to the forums and to Adobe. So, I'm a little clueless about all this stuff.
WELL
everytime I click my Photoshop icon the welcome screen appears and the editor begins to load.
However, the screen doesn't pop up at all. Just the welcome screen. It just shows the Photoshop Elements editor's small window on the bottom of my screen. I click on it and the editor doesn't show up at all.
It did this a couple of times before. But, now the editor isn't showing.
My organizer works just fine, but I'm wondering if I can somehow open Photoshop's editor on the organizer?
If you could please PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME and reply as soon as possible! I would love to draw and color on Photoshop again as soon as I have fix this problem!
Thank you so much!
-Marley

Try making a direct desktop icon for the Organizer and Editor and that will bypass the welcome screen and any advertising.
On Windows right click on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
Inside the Adobe >> Photoshop Elements Organizer (yellow folder) you are looking for an application file “PhotoshopEementsOrganizer” with six small icons (e.g. representing thumbnails)
Select it and click OK
Click next
Rename by taking out Photoshop Elements leaving just the word Organizer
Then click finish
You should now be able to launch directly form the desktop by double clicking on the icon.
You can set up a similar direct link to the Editor application (.exe file which has the blue PSE icon). As before take out Photoshop Elements just leaving the description Editor and it will show up clearly on the desktop.
You can keep the standard Photoshop icon which links to the welcome screen but I prefer to delete it from the desktop. If you ever need to get to the welcome screen you simply click Window >>Welcome on the top menu when the application is open.

Get rid of annoying Recommended Applications list when doing Open With

Whenever you try to specify a file to open with another application, by way of ctrl clicking it, it pops up the file dialog, but most of the files are greyed out until you change the drop down at the top from "recommended applications" to "all applications." This is INCREDIBLY annoying, and I either need to know how to add applications to the recommended list, or to make it default to All applications.
An example of this problem, is when opening a video file. It's a .avi so it opens with QuickTime via flip4mac by default, which is fine. Now I really want to open it with EyeTV, which definitely supports .avi's, and I prefer watching them with EyeTV. But when I right click it to open with eyetv this one time, in the open with menu it lists every other freaking video playing app I have besides EyeTV. VLC, mplayer, Audacity, real player, even my HP printer software for some reason. But to get to EyeTV I have to go through like 5 extra steps.
Thanks.

Each application tells LaunchServices the file types that it can use, which is used to enable the various applications in the "Recommended Applications" or "Open With" lists. If an application can't handle a particular file type, or if the application isn't set up correctly, then it won't show up in these lists because the system doesn't know that the application can handle it. File Types can be added to an application's Info.plist file (inside the application package), in the CFBundleDocumentTypes dictionary by using the Property List Editor application (or equivalent). You can make an application unusable by messing with this file, so you do need to know a little about what you are doing (and always make a backup copy). There are several articles on Apple's developer site, such as Property Key List Reference, and Document Types.

HTML Editor

Well, Howard Kistler has certainly already signed with an editor to sell its HTML Editor Applet. So instead of being parasites and begging for code, why not spit in our hands and code it by ourselves ?
I've made some tries yesterday for a HTML editor application. So far, there is an appli where one can edit text, and set it bold or italic with a menu. One can also dump the HTML code to stdout.
Here is the code, it's very simple, and after that I'll have some questions for you.
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import javax.swing.text.html.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Bla extends JFrame {
    JEditorPane jep;
    Hashtable actions;
    private Action getActionByName(String name) {
        return (Action)(actions.get(name));
    public Bla() {
        jep = new JEditorPane();
        jep.setContentType ("text/html");
        // shouldn't insert HTML test not done with a JEditorPane
        // jep.setText ("This is a <b>test</b> !!");
        // store and display available actions for this Editor Kit
        actions = new Hashtable();
        Action[] actionsArray = jep.getEditorKit().getActions();
        for (int i = 0; i < actionsArray.length; i++) {
            Action a = actionsArray;
actions.put(a.getValue(Action.NAME), a);
System.out.println (a.getValue(Action.NAME) + " = " + a);
System.out.println ("TEST : " + HTMLEditorKit.BOLD_ACTION); // --> "html-bold-action" !!
// builds menu bar
JMenuBar jmb = new JMenuBar();
setJMenuBar (jmb);
JMenu jm = new JMenu("commands");
jmb.add (jm);
jm.add (getActionByName ("font-bold"));
jm.add (getActionByName ("font-italic"));
JMenuItem out = new JMenuItem("output text");
jm.add (out);
out.addActionListener (new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.println ("CONTENT : " + jep.getText ());
// insert editor to a scroller and add all that to our frame
JScrollPane scroller = new JScrollPane();
     JViewport port = scroller.getViewport();
     port.add(jep);
getContentPane().add (scroller, BorderLayout.CENTER);
addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
pack();
setSize (400, 400);
show ();
public static void main (String args[]) {
new Bla();
Questions :
1) When we display HTMLEditorKit.BOLD_ACTION, the result is "html-action-bold" but this action does not exist in the action list that we got from the EditorPane ! Is it a bug or just something I didn't understand ?
2) Is it a comprehensive list of all available actions on an EditorPane ?
3) If you try to set the HTML text by yourself, the Editor won't like it unless it is perfectly structured (usage of <p>, by example). Strange behaviour and bugs will occur if you try it.
4) When the HTML content is sent back, it is enclosed in <html><head></head><body>...</body></html>. What part of the architecure generates this code and how to get rid of it (not by String manipulations, of course).
Thanks for your help. And see you soon for the next version !

External editor, PSE8

When using Edit with Adobe Photoshop Elements.app, the file converts to 8 bit. Is that correct? I'm shooting RAW with PSE8. I didn't realise this was a problem til I read of quality loss.
Thanks

You need to first do the set-up in iPhoto prefs and navigate all the way to the Support Files folder.
- Open iPhoto and choose iPhoto >> Preferences.
- Select the General tab.
- Click the Edit Photo menu and select In Application.
Then navigate to:
Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 13/Support Files/Photoshop Elements 13 Editor
Highlight the editor application (Photoshop Elements 13 Editor not Adobe Photoshop Elements 13) and click Open
Then close iPhoto Prefs.
You should now be able to edit normally from the iPhoto Library e.g.
Double-click to edit in iPhoto editor.
Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in elements editor.

PHOTO EDITOR NOKIA 500 BELLE

Hi i have a NOKIA 500 BELLE and in my app PHOTO EDITOR i have hundreds of photos i dont want and its taking up alot of memory is there anyway to delet thoes photos?

Hi lesliejansen,
The pictures displayed in your phone's Photo Editor application are the same as the ones in your gallery. They are not a copy of the pictures, they are the displays of the same files from the memory. If you would like to free some memory space, I advise you to delete the unwanted pictures from the gallery. Once deleted, these pictures will not be displayed in the gallery or in the Photo Editor app anymore.
Feel free to post any other questions you may have.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor

For years, I've used iPhoto. And although I usually edit in iPhoto, sometimes I edit in an external editor, Adobe Photoshop Elements. It's always been easy - rightclick, "edit in external editor", Photoshop Elements opens and the photo is loaded automatically.
Well, since I upgraded to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 (PSE12), when I choose to edit in an external editor, PSE12 opens but my photo doesn't load.
Not a huge deal, but it takes extra time and searching and is, honestly, a little annoying.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Other than the previous versions of Elements, Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 installs the editor directly at the top-level of the Applications folder, so there are no longer any nested folders to select the editor application from.
But there is a weird glitch, when I try to use it as an external editor in iPhoto.
When I select a photo in iPhoto 9.5.1 and ctrl-click it and use the command "Edit in External Editor" from that panel, Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 opens with an empty window, like you reported.
This does not work: Elements launches on an empty window.
But when I use the "Edit" button in the footer of the iPhoto window and double click it, Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 will open with the photo in the Editor window.
This does work:
So, for the time being, use the Edit button to launch your external editor, if you are also using iPhoto 9.5.1 with Mavericks 10.9.4.
