Photoshop Elements 7: Newbie Needs Drop Shadow Help, Please

Hello.
I'm brand new to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 and need help with the Drop Shadow feature, please.
I've read the documentation, but it's not crystal clear to me, so maybe someone can guide me through it.
I want to create text on a blank white canvas, and add a little bit of drop shadow to it. That's all I want to do--plain and simple.
I can create the text, but I can't for the life of me find any drop shadow options.
The documentation I'm using is the on-line, web-based help. I type in Drop Shadow in Search, and select Add Text to a Slide.
The third step says, "In the Properties palette, set any of the following options" and then offers some options, including Drop Shadow and Drop Shadow Color.
I'll be darned if I can locate the Properties palette. Obviously, I'm not well-versed with Photoshop, so if anyone can just steer me towards this feature, I'll take things from there.
I know this is probably rock-bottom basic, but I'm stumped. Thank you!
J. Danniel

I need a lot more help with this than I thought.
The problem I'm having is this: After creating the drop shadow effect, when I try to save the image as a transparent GIF, it quite simply.... looks horrible.
Here is what I'm doing in detail:
1. New/Blank File.
2. Blank File is set to transparent. (Is this the right way to make a transparent GIF?)
3. Creating text.
4. Cropping text.
5. Selecting drop shadow effect.
Now, here's where I get confused. Do I just select File/Save As, or File/Save For Web?
When I just use File/Save As, and select the GIF format, the drop shadow effect in the final file looks horrible when I embed the image into a web page. The text looks good, and the file is transparent, but the effect is ugly.
When I try to use Save for Web, there is a Before/After screen. The Before side looks decent; the After screen looks horrible, too.
So, now I don't know what to do. Can you or anyone guide me through this a bit further, please? Thank you! Jd

Photoshop elements mac, newbie questions for webshop

Hello all,
My name is Jelle and i have photoshop elements for mac, which i mostly use to create banners, headers and backgrounds for my website www.dagelijkseluxe.nl.
Though this is my question, i think there are a lot of people like me, bumping in the same problems. Maybe it's an idea to have a webshop webinar someday (or i missed it) for some basic functions mostly used for websites. Like easy banner creation, background adjustments for sites and products, best product presentation, etc.
Even though i mostly use the guided editing, i sometimes venture off and try to use the full editor. Now, this must be too easy for most of you powerusers, but the background of the webshop is still a bit to dark to my liking. However i feel i have reached all i can do with the different sliders presented in the guided tour.
Is there an easy way to "mistify" the background or any photo for that matter?
I also save the files as PNG as per recommendation from the sitebuilder. what's the difference with interlaced and non interlaced saving.
Thank you in advance for your time!
Kind regards,
Jelle Dingemans

You could use:
Filter >> Blur >> Gaussian Blur
That should mystify or blur your image.
Interlaced is a better method for displaying mainly large images on monitors - but you get a slightly larger file. Small images tend to load very quickly so non-interlaced will keep the file size down.

Can't drag & drop images from Windows Explorer into Elements 7

Hi...
I'm a Photoshop Elements 7 newbie... I can't drag and drop images (jpeg, tiff, Olympus RAW) from Windows Explorer (file explorer and not IE) to Photoshop Elements like I can in Corel Paint Shop Pro X2? It also works in Corel Painter IX.5 & ArtRage 3 (except for RAW)... My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.... I've uninstalled and re-installed Elements but to no avail. I've also tried to run Elements under various compatability modes but still no luck....
Any ideas?
It's driving me nuts...
Thanks kindly
Ken

"I just remembered: If the Editor or Organizer are "running as administrator", then you can't drag and drop from Windows Explorer. To see if you're running the program as administrator right click the desktop icon or Start Menu item you use to launch PS and select Properties. On the Compatibility tab, is Run This Program As Administrator checked? (Note that in Vista and Windows 7, running a program as administrator is different than running it in an account that's a member of the Administrator's group.)"
I wasn't running the program as administrator so I enabled that compatibility property applied it then disabled it. It seems to work now. I thought I'd add this to flesh out the previous answer. I didn't open the program in between the enable and disable, so it is a quick process. Also, I am using windows 8.1 and had to open the file location in order to do this. Right click on the tile then choose 'open file location'

Including 4:3 material in a 16:9 environment

Hi,
I'm a relative Premiere Elements 9 newbie and I need to combine 4:3 material with content shot in 16:9. The 4:3 content is historical public domain footage downloaded in MPEG-2 format. My 16:9 material is in MPEG-4 format, 720x480.
I've decided to add pillar bars to the 4:3 material, rather than cut off the top and bottom of the original.
How do I do this in PREL 9? Or do I need to modify the original files before importing them? If so, can you advise on tools, including freeware?
Incidentally, I'm creating a video that will be uploaded to YouTube.
Thank you in advance.

You are most welcome. That linked article just begins to scratch the surface of the possibilities. I rather like an abstract background, in lieu of the black bars, and often incorporate that with an animation to allow the viewer a visual "bridge"to it.
Good luck, and let us know what you end up doing.

Help! Moved a project from laptop to desktop files are missing

hi,
sorry I am a premiere elements 7 newbie.
I started my project on my laptop but unfortunately it hadn´t enough space and was not aible to work with the data flow. i bought a desktop and made the mistake that I only copied the "premiere elements project" the document..........
then I organised the new pc and so on...opened the project but all my files (audio, pictures and videos) were missing.
can someone help me what to do? I don´t want to do it again...........
please note that I saved the documents (songs, pictures and avi) from different places on the laptop.
thank you so much
sabine from germany

Sabine,
The Project file (.PREL) is just an XML database and contains none of the media, only links to where that media was, when it was Imported into PrE, plus instructions on what you did, as you edited in PrE.
Now, when one moves either a Project, or the media (your Assets) is to break those links. PrE goes looking, per the Path in the .PREL file. Unless the files are in that exact Path, it will throw up an error message, basicly saying, "help, I canno find these files." One has several choices at that point. One is to help PrE find the files, where they are now. Depending on the folder structure, if you help it find the first one that it's asking for, it'll automaticlaly link to all others in that folder, that it needs. If it then asks for another file, the chances are great that that file will be, maybe in a sub-folder. After that one is linked, it'll gather any that it needs in that sub-folder. This is repeated until all Assets have been found and linked. It could be find the first and all get linked or search around the sub-folders. This part just depends on the folder structure.
Another choice is to choose Media Off-line. What this does is allow one to edit with any Assets that are found, and just show all others as Off-line. Here comes a big warning. If, after choosing Media Off-line (actual syntax for all unfound media would be "Off-line All."), you chose to Save, and your original Project file is overwritten, you will now have to manually locate all Assets to get them relinked. If I were going to do any off-line editing, I'd always do a Save_As, or a Save_As_a_Copy and NOT a Save. As mentioned, if you do a Save, then you have to go in and manually relink all Assest, unlike the scenario in the second paragraph.
Now, if you media is shown as off-line and you do not have an original copy of your .PREL Project file, you'll need to go to the Project Panel. Your Assest will have a different icon, than before and the media will show as off-line. Rt-click on each one and choose Relink Media. Now, navigate to the new locations for that file and choose it to relink. I believe that this is the same in PrE, but that is the list of steps for PrPro. One must do this for each Asset, that you wish to bring back online. This method does take a lot of work, especially for large Projects with lots of Assets.
As Kodebuster says, copying over your Assets entire folder structure to the second machine and then helping PrE find the first file (and any additionals that are in sub-folders) is the best way to do this.
Again, remember that the .PREL file contains no media, just links to where PrE last saw those files.
Good luck,
Hunt

Just saw your thread, and it looked like a candidate for the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce Roll Back the Driver issue. If your computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card, then the following applies to you. You do not want to update the driver. Rather you want to roll back the driver version, probably to about May 2013. For your convenience I have done a copy/paste of the forum announcement which gives all the details and fix of the matter.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for the driver roll back can be found
http://atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe10-nvidia-video-card-roll-back.html
This matter has been very specific to the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce card user. So, if your computer is using other than a NVIDIA GeForce card, it is likely that the message does not apply to you, and we can then explore other troubleshooting possibities.
Looking forward to your follow up. Do not hesitate to ask for clarification on anything written here.
Thanks.

Newbie question about Premiere Elements Organizer

This is a pre-newbie – let’s say “virgin” question. If there is an answer already posted elsewhere, please send me a link.
I’m about to install Premiere Elements 9 to do some clip editing and animation from still images. This would be my first attempt to edit clip or do some animation from still images, besides using Windows Media Maker with my HS students. However, I have been a pretty serious photographer for 20+ years with 1,000’s of images which I now work on in PS CS5 Extended and Lightroom 3. I use Adobe Bridge and LR library to catalogue and organize my images. I’d like to continue to use AB / LR Library to organize my new clips and projects. From reading Bill’s posts, it seems I can use Adobe Bridge, copy my original file, resize in Photoshop, and save in a new folder to use for a Premiere project. This would seem to be most intuitive way for me to work. I already have keywords, metadata, actions in PS… etc. But I think Bill is using Premiere Pro, while I’ll be installing Premiere Elements, which comes bundled with Elements Organizer. Do I need to install or use Elements Organizer? What are the advantages/disadvantages or EO? I guess I’m a little worried about installing the programs and having EO automatically acquire images using presets/defaults that I don’t want to use as well as issues with subfolders, etc. I'm running Windows 7.
Thanks
FYI- this is a great animation project

EO doesn't do much with the files themselves, just maintains links to the sources.
For folders you are best to use the folder view in EO to move them as it doesn't keep track of folder locations when changed in Windows Explorer. From the File options in Bridge I think that is pretty much the same.
ziggycat4 wrote:
I would like to get as much input as possible on the advantages/disadvantages of using EO vs say Adobe Bride from others who use Elements Organizer.
Any insights would be appreciated.
Can anyone who has used both EO and AB comment on how EO handles missing (hidden) files, syncing issues, computer hanging up or crashing....etc?
I've only messed around a little with Bridge. But to me it seems lightening fast by comparison to EO. The features Albums and Tags in EO seem much the same as Collections and Keywords in Bridge.
EO has Face Recognition abilities - getting more sophisticated in each version. I've not seen this feature in Bridge.
By default EO allows you to open a file in any of:
Photoshop
Photoshop Elements
Premiere Elements
A single used-defined application (I have mine set to ColorPilot).
Bridge only seems to link to Photoshop.
Missing files can be located manually or by allowing EO to search for them.

Newbie to Photoshop Elements 8.0

Thinking of purchasing Photoshop Elements 8.0. Currently
using Windows 7. I have been using Photoshop CS2.
In Elements 8 am I able to mask a face or some other object
and move it to a new body or object?

If the focus of the original question was the specific application mentioned (moving a head or object from one context to another) then selecting the object and copying the data to a new layer is an option, but this can also be done in Photoshop CS2. The benefits of masking are things like not actually losing the non-visible image data, so that adjustments can be made later.
If the focus of the question then was 'does Photoshop Elements have masking', then Barbara is right, masks aren't built into PSE. They can be simulated using adjustment layers (the best tutorial on this is found here: http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/qt/layermasks.htm ). Once you understand what's going on in that technique, you can make the process easier using this free tool, which uses an action to simplify the procedure - http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/qt/layermasktool.htm . (Actions can only be made in Photoshop CS versions, but some of them can be used in Elements)
If you've been using Photoshop CS2, and you're thinking of switching to Elements 8, you might also be interested in my article on Photoshop vs Photoshop Elements - http://www.easyelements.com/photoshop-vs-elements.html , which compares Photoshop with Photoshop Elements. They're both great programs, just suited to slightly different audiences and for slightly different purposes. It's worth thinking about what features you use most in CS2, before deciding whether or not to switch to Elements. Masking is a good example.
Hope that helps! Rob.

Newbe requests help with audio for slide-show on Premiere Elements 4.

I recently wrote you regarding a problem I was having with a slide show I was making on Premiere Elements 4 importing photo clips and music from PhotoShop Elements 9. Thank you for your help.
This very large slide show, some 200 clips that I have not resized is completed. I am now having many problems with the music audio I am adding to various sequences of the slide show. Specifically:the audio will not stay fixed on the places where I put it and end it. Working on the Timeline Usually the length of the audio is shorter than the ending of the photo clips where it must go. I click on the audio and stretch it and end it at the place I designate. However, the other end has moved also so now I am left with a gap where there is no audio at the beginning of the segment. Now in addition, the "Delete and Close Gap" does not work most of the time causing me to manually move the photo tiles which sometimes move when this happens. I have to move each one or two individually to the left to close the gap and many times this causes loss of one or two photo tiles or they are out of order or have increase in number (of the one I am moving).
The program has also shut down for the past 10 days causing me to lose a good deal of work and sometimes photo clips and sometimes I get many duplicates of the photo clips. All I do is edit mostly the same two segments doing this over and over because I can't proceed to importing any more music because I can't get the first segments correct. I have chatted with you people, Sony techs, Microsoft Techs and Canon Techs. The Sony techs suggested the program was at fault and I used the original installation disk and repaired the program. It has still shut down on me but not as much.
I got error messages on the photo-cap instructions page you suggessted otherwise I would show pictures of the above problems.
I tried to copy and/or cut and paste from the Timeline thinking I would start a new slide show in PhotoShop Elements 9 using the same photos in reverse. The program would not let me copy or paste. There is great difficulty in highlighting the photo tiles in Timeline because I have to shift click on each individual tile and there are too many tiles and it would take too long to get a whole segment copied. Maybe you know another way to do this?
I am at a stand-still now and I am quite despondent because I have been working on this slide-show for 3 months and it was a surprise for my daughter's 25th anniversary that was last Tuesday.
I do hope you have some good suggestions that will lelt me complete this Project and get it on a disk. I am not that technical so please be specific.
Thanks in advance.
Kathy

Here's the basic advice I'd give, based on my experience. Much depends, though, on your goals and the specifics of your computer system:
1) Resize all of your photos to no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size. This is VITAL if you want the program to maintain stability as you work. Also render often (by pressing the Enter key). When the render, the red lines above the clips on your timeline will turn green and the program will run much more efficiently.
2) Work on your large slideshow project in shorter segments. You've got over 15 minutes worth of slides. Try working on this slideshow in 5 minute segments, output each segment and then combined the finished videos.
3) Use only WAV audio as your music and audio for your slideshow.
4) When you add video, audio or stills to a parallel track on your timeline, hold down the Ctrl key to override the ripple function and your current clips will remain in place.
5) Maintain your computer by using a tool like the excellent, free, one-click Advanced System Care available at http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html
As for Delete and Close Gap, how it performs depends on whether you've selected Clear or Delete, whether you've pressed the Backspace key or the Delete key and if there is video or audio on a parallel track. (This is all covered in my books, by the way, if you're interested.)
Without knowing the specifics of your project and your situation, it's hard to give out more specific information -- but this advice should get you a long way toward completing your project!

Help for Newbie -- Premiere Elements 10

I'm completely new to video editing. I know this is supposed to be the easiest software, but I'm getting nowhere. Part of the problem is that the software doesn't seem to come with a manual -- in paper or pdf. The help button ships me out to various tutorials, etc., but they're all for version 11. I tried following the basic tutorial for organizing videos, and the buttons they wanted me to click just didn't exist. (such as for creating an "album." Maybe it's because of the different version or maybe it's because I'm supposed to already know how to set up the software so that I see the same things they're showing me in the tutorials.
Is there any book that truly takes you through everything from othe very beginning? Better yet, is there any service that would actually let me talk things out with an expert and perhaps let me log onto my computer so he can see what's on my screen and explain why it doesn't look like what's in the tutorial?
Thanks.

Newbie how to define variable of type element?

JDEV 10.1.3.1
When I perform the following from BPEL designer in JDEV...
variable new
create variable
Select element type
Select a local file schema xsd
Select element of choice
Seems to define OK but fails to compile. Namespaces appear to include the namespace defined in the xsd.
When I define variables of type message and browse to the appropriate wsdl and pick a message from there this seems to work / compile just fine.
I am sure that since I am just getting started that this is a common error, please assist and thanks. Must all variables be defined as message types and reside in a WSDL?
Thanks,
John

Hello John,
I'm not sure whether it is possible to import a schema into a process directly. What I usually do is to import it into the wsdl-file describing the process interface. This is the file you use to define the client-partnerlink. If your schema is imported correctly, you can access the type-definition via the partner-links-node in the type chooser (this works at least in JDEV 10.1.3.3 and 10.1.3.4).
To import your schema into the wsdl, you need to go to the structure-view in wsdl-editor and after a right-click on the types-node select "insert types". Inside types you insert XML-Schema, inside schema you need to insert an import-tag. The properties for this tag are the file-location and the target namespace used in the schema. The resulting XML-structure should look like this:
<wsdl:definitions xmlns:plnk="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/05/partner-link/" xmlns:tns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/Order_Booking___Shipment" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" name="Order_Processing_SystemPLT" targetNamespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/Order_Booking___Shipment">
<wsdl:types>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<import schemaLocation="Order_Booking___Shipment.xsd"
namespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/Order_Booking___Shipment"/>
</schema>
</wsdl:types>
</wsdl:definitions>

Newbie with Photo Elements 8

I have used Adobe's photo management programs for years but Photo Elements is the most mysterious of them all. I have two questions at this point and may have moer later. Hope someone has the answers.
a) How do I get the Timeline to appear at the top of the page? I can't find anything in Preferences that lets me turn it on or off and right clicking various bars does not seem to help.
b)The File, Edit, View etc. menu bar has been boiled down to an inverted triangle which if clicked, exposes the menu items in a box, etc. How can I restore the Menu items to the Menu bar. Again I saw nothing in Preferences and right clicking various bars did not help.
Thanks.

a) How do I get the Timeline to appear at the top of the page? I can't find anything in Preferences that lets me turn it on or off and right clicking various bars does not seem to help.
Window > Timeline. But beware that in PSE 6, 7, and 8, the timeline is buggy -- it won't always work if you try to set a date range with it.

Newbe requests how to remove "applause" from Project in Premiere Elements 4?

This is the second time I attempted to make a large slide show using Photoshop Elements 9 and Premiere Elements 4 I am having two main problems:
1. I do not know how it got there but every time I run the slideshow on Premiere Elements I hear applause on each photo? Don't know how it got there either and frustrated how to get rid of it
2. When I move a photo to another place it leaves a blank space. I try to get rid of the space by going onto Edit and asking to delete and close gap. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. Then sometimes my only option is to remove the present photo and it does not remove it.
3. Lastly I wanted to change composing the slide show from Premiere Elements to Photoshop Elements 9 but the latter would not recognize the file.
THIS PROJECT IS A HUGE RUSH PROJECT FOR MY DAUGHTER'S 25TH ANNIVERSARY. TIME IS RUNNING OUT AND I AM PANICKING.
Thanks for your help.
Kathy

Kathy,
You say that you have PrE 4.0, but I did not see which version of PSE you have. You would need PSE 4.0, to be able to go directly to PrE from PSE. Otherwise, one would need to do, as you have, and Export from PSE as a WMV file, which would then be Imported into PrE.
The weakness in this latter method, the Export/Import, is that a WMV file is highly-compressed, so quality, when coming out of PrE will be compromised. Next, if one has the same versions of the two programs, and they Send to PrE from PSE, once in PrE, they can choose Break Apart, to get all of the elements in the SlideShow separated again - this cannot be donw with the WMV Export/Import.
Now, even with the WMV Export/Import method, one can still edit, but they are now cutting on a finished AV file, and things are not so easy - they are working on one large Video file, and one large Audio file on the Timeline.
For the blank spaces, one can just cut those out of the Video, but if the whole Clip (the WMV file) has Audio, that needs to stay, things are not quite so easy. In your case, however, it might be easiest to just Delete the Audio from the WMV, cut the Video to suit, and then Import the Audio Clips that were used in PSE, and just use those again, listening closely for the one(s) with the applause, and substitute something else, instead. This editing will be much, much easier in Timeline View Mode.
For that applause, it might be easier to go back to the Project in PSE, find where it is being introduced, and substitute for it there.
Now, if the applause comes during otherwise silent passeges, you can just cut it out, or can lower the Volume to the point that it is not heard. If it comes over music or dialog, there is nothing easy, that can be done. To remove it, and save the music, or dialog, will be virtually impossible and take much time, for probably little improvement.
Let us know just a little bit more about your Project and also the version number of PSE.
Good lukc,
Hunt
