Elements 10 - create a collage problem

I am getting an error message when trying to create a photo collage. I get the following - with or without having selected any images - " valid size not available for this creation " and then after clicking OK button I get " an integer between 1 and 0 is required nearset value entered" then the dialogue box keeps reopening when I click OK button. I then have to close PSE10 usin Task Mgr. - Any Ideas what it might be.

Re-set the Editor's preferences: Hold down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys when launching the Editor, and keep them held down until you see the prompt asking if you want to delete the Preferences. Answer "Yes" and they will be re-built. You may have to minimize any open windows to see that prompt.

Photoshop/Elements to Revel Photo Migration Problem!

What happened to my Photoshop/element photos? They were supposedly migrated, but I don't see them! I have no albums in my Revel account.I had a paid subscriiption and it was cancelled back in or around February, and told that the photos would be moved over to REVEL...Can anyone help me to get them back?

First, thanks Pattie for following up with me. I am going to check my backed up hard drives to see if my photoshop materials are on them. It will take me a few days, as I have only small amounts of time to research it at this time. maybe a break will come in a day or two for a determination.

Michael-
Is it possible you logged into Photoshop.com with a different email, or is it possible that you did not set up your Elements to sync with Photosho.com? These are the two main reasons users can not find their files.
The Photoshop.com account created in 2009 with the email you use to log in to this forum has no files in it, and therefore, nothing migrated to the Revel account with the same login. You do have a Revel account with the same login, but it is also empty since nothing migrated.

Create Card Collage with 30 pictures on each sde

I want to create a Collage of 30 images (pictures of people) I need to create 2 of these. I will be up-loading them to our business site and will be using our own software to create a REAL Card which will be Mailed by the US Postal Service for me. (Our business addresses, stamps, licks and send cards for clients.)
The Real Card will have a picture on the front and then in the inside left will be the 1st group of 30 people and the inside right will have the 2nd group of 30 people.
I have been able to create the collage and upload them but when they get on the card. The groups are real small. When I am creating the collage it looks big and ok but when I save it I am probably not saving in the right size.. I have looked around but can not find out how to take the group of 30 pictures and then save it in a different size.
I am on a deadline to get this done. Any help would be appreciated.

The following are the requirements that I need for 'input' into our business program.
I am trying to figure out how the dimensions that I need for my cards equate to the layout for the collage in Photo Elements.
Horizontal Card
Template size: 5.375 " x 7.5" (1613 pixels x 2250 pixels)
1/4" of image will trim from top, bottom, & right side.
1/8" of left hand side of your image will wrap to the back of the card. In Picture Plus you will not see this part of the image.
Trim size is 5" x 7" (1500 pixels x 2100 pixels)
Safe area: 4.5" x 6.5" x 4.5" (1350 pixels x 1950 pixels)
Vertical Card
Template size: 7.5" x 5.375" (2250 pixels x 1613 pixels)
1/4" of image will trim from top, bottom, & right side.
1/8" of left hand side of your image will wrap to the back of the card. In Picture Plus you will not see this part of the image.
Trim size is 5" x 7" (1500 pixels x 2100 pixels)
Safe area: 6.5" x 4.5" (1950 pixels x 1350 pixels)
This is how I created the Collage Layout
File > New > Blank File
Preset= 4x6
Width= 4"
Height= 6"
Resolution 300 Pixels (I have tried 500 & 600 also)
Color Mode= RGB
Backgroud= White
File Open
Select picture
Move picture into Layer
(Comes in real small.)
Bottom Left hand corner it says 33.33%
Based on the requirements I need for input. Am I doing it wrong to create the template(layout)
Thanks

Premier Elements 11 trial. Playback problems; instability problems

I downloaded the trial version and installed yesterday. My experience so far is as follows:
Video tracks I import (h.264) will play fine (although see below.) Then if I try later they won't: timeline doesn't move, no sound no nothing. No rhyme or reason to it. I've tried deleting the project and all media files from Premier and Elements Organiser and trying again. No luck. Repeat, and this time they work; I presume at some point they will stop. I've had even more trouble getting them to play in the organiser. They have played but now no matter what I do they don't seem to want to: I'd ask if the organiser can play videos or not but I've seen it do it so I know the answer.
Launching Premier Elements may cause iTunes and/or Safari to crash. Or maybe not. Depends upon the mood it's in I guess....
Yesterday, something completely took over the sound output. Couldn't adjust volume, turn off my external speakers or otherwise get sound out. When I pressed the volume up button on my keyboard nothing happened, repeat again, nothing happened. 10 mins later the volume adjustment overlay displayed upping volume by 1 notch! Another 5 mins later the same again! Bizarre. Couldn't find a way to get around it: I could launch programs ok but I couldn't logout. Or Shutdown. Having seen the delay in the volume dialog I decided that maybe it would shut down when it got the chance so I went for dinner. Sure enough, on return it had shutdown.
I have (or at least did have) a stable system before installing this program. It's an iMac on 10.8.3, 32GB RAM and 3.2Ghz 4-core processor.
Another interesting thing it does is with the playback of my clips. These are a slideshow of photos: each photo transitions in over 1.5 secs, stays for 2 secs, then transitions out whilst the next one transitions in. In other words, each photo overlays the previous one and then is displayed for 2 secs. This is how they play in iTunes, on a DVD etc. In Premier, the clips register as the same length but each photo transitions in and immediately transitions out with no 2 second pause. It's as if the transitions have been extended in time so the whole clip remains the same length but consists solely of transitioning images. Why would it interpret the video differently to other applications?
I was hoping to switch to this program because the output from iMovie 11 is really bad for dark areas: extremely pixellated and blocky. The output from Premier doesn't have this but of course the output doesn't play properly so it's a bit moot really.
I could probably live with this, for this one set of clips, if it wasn't for the other instability problems - do others find similar problems?
Regards
Andrew

Thanks ATR - not sure I explained my self properly, but here's some background...
I have a DVD that consists of a slideshow of photos from a window. As above, these seem to transition in over 1 or 1.5 seconds stay for 2 and then the next one transitions in. I've ripped the DVD using handbrake to a H.264 format so I can play on AppleTV (no copyright issues by the way!) The DVD is actually split into 5 titles: 4 of 6 minutes 7 seconds duration and 1 of around 20 seconds duration. In the DVD of course they play continually appearing as a 24 minute 48 seconds.
The intention was to load all 5 clips into Premier on the timeline and create 1 output. That actually works (when it works!) so in some respect I can achieve what I want, except.....
Let's take clip 1. It's 6 mins 7 secs long in iTunes. In iTunes it plays as expected: each photo transitions in for 1.5 secs, sticks for 2 seconds then the next photo transitions in. In Premier, the clip is 6 mins 7 secs long. However, it plays as follows: each photo transitions in then the next photo transitions in without pause. It seems that the transitions have extended in duration to what appears to be 3.5 secs thus there's no clear point where I can see the photo (a split moment when I could press pause is the only possibility.)
So that question was really: why would Premier take a clip that has been copied from DVD, and which iTunes plays the same as the DVD, and play it back differently? I read the thread which was useful in explaining how different programs dealt with transitions whilst building up a video/slideshow - perhaps I misunderstood it.
This isn't the main reason for testing Premier actually. I have a video camera capable of 1080/50p which iMovies can't handle without significant jiggery-pokery. And the exports are just plain rubbish. I've just loaded some clips into the Elements organiser - here's another problem which I'll mention here but for which I'll give more feedback on a separate thread later:
when playing back a clip, the sound will just stop. Video will continue, but no sound. If I pause it, reset the play marker backwards then play sound comes back. It may or may not disappear later in the playback. Either way, in the organiser playing clips either works, doesn't work sometimes (often??), plays with sound, plays some sound then stops.
Sorry...but this seems like a buggy program to me.
Thanks
Andrew

Trying to create a collage

Dear Friends:
I am presently using Elements 10:
I am trying to create a collage. Once I have selected my pictures, i go to the Create bin and select collage. I receive an error that says " Apply layout." Any ideas?
I was wondering if I uninstall elements and reinstall it if that would work.
Thanks,
Bert

Why not design your own? It is possible to make a collage manually and its quite easy.
Click File >> Open and select all of your photos
That will add them to the project bin
Then select File >> New >> Blank File
Select background color White (or whatever you prefer) and add your width and height for your final image (set resolution 72 for web usage or 240 to 300 for printing) then click OK
In the project bin click your first photo and drag it up into the main window on top of your new background.
Click on the move tool and click in the center of the photo and drag to arrange it where you want on the background - you can hold down the shift key to maintain original proportions whilst dragging the corner handles of the bounding box to get the size you want.
Do the same with the next photo (drag it up into the main window) and use the move tool to position it. Then continue with each image.
Finally Click Layer >>Flatten image and save as jpeg. (Save as PSD if you want to preserve the layers for editing again)
N.B. as you add images they get dropped in the center. So you need to use the move tool to drag them apart. Click in the middle of one and move it around, and then the others until you get them positioned as you want.
When you click again with the move tool a bounding box appears around the image and you can drag out the corner handles to re-size your photos. Hold down the shift key when dragging the corner handle and that will maintain the proportions of the original.
Finally click Layer >>Flatten Image and save your collage - you may then want to use the crop tool to cut away any surplus white canvas, and then re-save.

You can't go to System Preferences>Desktop&Screen Savers and change the display? Try it and see. I've never seen that problem.

Premiere Elements 9 Tryout Serious Display Problem

I will confine my editorializing to "Deja vu, all over again" and describe the Premiere Elements 9 problem that sounds like I was reliving the release of Premiere Elements 8.
I downloaded and installed Premiere Elements 9 tryout, and it worked great for about 7 days. With no changes in the computer environment, suddenly when Premiere Elements 9 was loading a new project, it would stop at PlayerMediaCore.prm and pop up a message:
"We have detected an incompatible driver. To get a better and faster playback performance, please update your display driver. Display driver details: NVIDIA Corporation GeForce....." and it went on to fully name my video card driver. When I clicked on OK, the program continued to load completely and opened to the workspace where the Edit Mode Monitor performance was, best described as, wacky....Timeline content that would not present in the Edit Mode Monitor, Preview Windows that froze in the Edit Mode Monitor, etc. And, Edit Mode Full Screen Previews did not work at all. The technical irony in all this was that I have Premiere Elements 6, 7, and 8/8.0.1 all installed on the same computer, and all were still performing great when I was using them one at a time as a control.
When I went to Hardware/Device Manager and attempted to "update" my NVIDIA card driver, the "update" that installed automatically was older than what is was replacing. BUT, now Premiere Elements 9 did work as expected. HOWEVER, now my Premiere Elements 6, 7, and 8/8.0.1 were crashing at various times from loading to opening of the workspace. I am still hunting for a replacement NVIDIA driver that will fix the Premiere Elements 9 display issue and not kill my Premiere Elements 6, 7, and 8/8.0.1.
In investigating this matter, I noticed that the Premiere Elements 8/8.0.1 "Enable GPU Playback" is gone in version 9. And, now, if you right click the Premiere Elements 9 Edit Mode Monitor, you have a Playback Quality option of Automatic or Highest. That tells me that Adobe was at work making changes in the name of better. And, I am wondering if what I am encountering is related to Adobe's attempted improvements in display which was one of the issues in Premiere Elements 8.0 when it was released. Or, could this be related to making AVCHD a native format? Lots of possibilities.
The above is my long way of saying "Has anyone run into this type of situation with Premiere Elements 9, any workarounds found (other than buying a new video card just for Premiere Elements 9, ???"
At this point, I know of one other person who got a similar message from Premiere Elements 9 and resolved the problem by updating the NVIDIA card driver. But that still raises the question "Do we need a special video card driver just for Premiere Elements 9?" and "Why?"

To Vijay and A.T. Romano:
I am happy to help out any way I can. First, I do plan on installing PE9.0 on 2 other computers, both running Windows XP. Currently, both of these computers (Dell desktop and laptop) have PE2.0 running, with no problems. I will try to do these installations later on today.
The 2 new computers have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. While I have installed PE2.0 on these computers, the program runs slowly. I assume PE2.0 and Windows 7 are not compatible. As I mentioned before, PE 9.0 runs fine on the Dell desktop. It does not play videos on the Sony laptop.
The contents of the text file are..
##FALSE#0#0#0
The error message when the program is launched is..
Display driver details :NVIDIA Corporation – GeForce GT 330M/PCI/SSE2 3.0 NVIDIA 188.67
I do hope this help. I can only guess that the problem is wide spread.
Thank you again.

Premiere Elements 12 Incompatible Display Driver problem

I recently bought Adobe Premiere Elements 12 and installed it with no problem. I tried to run it but it keeps saying that my display drivers are incompatible. My AMD Radeon 6950 has up to date drivers and I even tried deleting the BadDriver.txt, but it keeps appearing when I try to open the program. I would appreciate any help. I have tried almost everything.

truevagabond
Great job in solving your own issue.
Just a note, when you delete the BadDrivers.txt file, it is normal for the program to generate a new one when the program is opened again. And hopefully the program now works without display error messages.
That BadDrivers.txt file deletion has its origin in the days of Premiere Elements 9 and has continued to help others with later versions as well...after updating video card/graphics card driver is not the answer. The rationale behind BadDriver.txt file deletion can be found in post 10 of the following older thread

I'm new to Photoshop CC and trying to create a collage with 16 pictures. Help

I need help in creating a collage with 16 pictures.

So you created a document 192000 pixels wide, and 108000 tall, and set the type to be 2 inches tall. Yes, the type is going to take a few minutes to render in that document.
Yes, you created a document much bigger than you probably intended (you probably wanted 1920 PIXELS by 1080 PIXELS).
Pixels and inches are not the same, and you need to pay attention to the units.

Printed colour is different between two elements both created in pages with the same colour

Hi There,
I have been having some issues getting a text colour to match a logo (imported in pdf format) - While trying to discover what was happening I created a sample colour of (HSB 189 / 89 / 73) in pages and saved it in my colours palette to test.
Now if I create some text (in pages) and a shape (also in pages) and colour them from the same colour sample/swatch and print it - the colours are clearly very different, Does pages do some kind of text colour correcting or weirdness that I cant find? Its hard to believe this is the desired workflow and its very anoying.
PS. I have also tried printing from a pdf and I have the same issues - That said the two colours look identical in pages and the pdf on screen.
I'd be extremely grateful for any help
NB I have since read
https://discussions.apple.com/message/9263007#9263007
Which although is helpful and may explain the behavious of the imported logo pdf vs the text it doesn't (I dont think) explain how two elements both created in pages using the same colour (from pages) would be dfferent?

They are both coming out at the exact same colour (CMYK 83, 0, 21, 0) which is correct however they are not the same colours when printed, Im begining to think this is less of a pages thing (as the output is correct) but something is going wrong between pdf/pages and print
Its not the easiest thing to see so you may have to take my word for it - but the two colours are not the same by quite a long way (Theres way more contrast in real life)
I think Im ready to admit defeat on this but thanks a bunch for your help!
