Elements 11 stops working in Photo collage

As soon as I try to make a photo collage in elements 11 the progrem terminates. What is the problem?
I use a PB PC with i7 processor and win 7. Enough memory and running the program from an solid state drive (SSD)

Well, you can try deleting the editor's preferences. Go to Edit>Preferences>General and click this button, then restart the editor:
However, in PSE 11 and 12 there's no percentage in using the collage feature. You're actually more restricted in what you can do than if you just create a new blank file in the editor, get out the graphics panel and add what you like. It's not like the older versions where there were things you could do in Create that you couldn't do elsewhere in PSE.

  • Elements 11 program stops working when photo collage opened when 297 x 210 selected

    Adobe Photoshop elements 11 program stops working when photo collage opened when 297 x 210 selected>Running Windows 8.1

    Hi Jane
    There are sometimes problems calling up the template from the media database. Why not design your own? It is possible to make a collage manually in Expert Mode 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.

  • Elements 10 stops working when I try to save photos to a memory card. I was successful 1X, failed3X

    Succeeded oncesaving photos to a memory card, but 3times, Elements 10 stopped working when I tied to save.  What's up?

    I had the same problem with Photomerge panorama (PS Elements 9) on my new Windows 8.1 HP laptop.
    I found a post over on a thread about CS5 talking about dual video graphics drivers. My laptop has both Intel and Nvidia chips and drivers, and after I disabled the Nvidia driver in Windows Device Manager, so that I use only the native Intel graphics, Photomerge Panorama comes up fine. My external big monitor looks crisper with the Nvidia graphics enabled, but I can re-enable that easily after I am done with Photomerge.

  • Elements 11 stops working also windows live photo gallery any ideas please

    You have to tell PSE to explicitly write the tags back into the industry-standard metadata fields, using the File > Write Keyword Tags command. Beware that it is buggy -- if you find your tags not getting written correctly, you can use the utility psedbtool:

  • Photoshop Elements 7 stopped working

    My Photoshop Elements 7 stopped working.  Error message; "A prpoblem caused theis program to stop working correctly.  Windows will clsoe the program and notify you if a solution is available.  How can I repair?

    Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
    Hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys and click Organize. Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
    Select your catalog and click Repair.  Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
    Then for good measure, click Optimize.
    If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog.  If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
    In that case you can try regenerating the thumbnails.  Do Show All, Edit > Select All, and then Edit > Update Thumbnail.
    -Check if AutoAnalyzer.exe is running in your task manager. End the task and try.
    try and let me know your comments.

  • Photoshope Elements 11 Stops Working

    Photoshop Elements 11 stops working after it opens the organizer.  This is after I imported pics / movies from my cell phone which caused it to crash. Any suggestions?

    No.  The program stops working a few seconds after the Organizer opens up.
    The only reason I brought up importing photos is because this problem started after I tried to import photos directly from my cell phone.  The first time I tried to import photos from my phone, I connected the phone via USB.  Then I used the "Get Photos" feature in Organizer and selected the drive which showed up corresponding to the phone.  Unfortunately, I think it downloaded items that were not photos or videos.  It crashed during the attempt to import.  When the organizer opens up I have a few seconds to see my photos and there are a few that look like bar codes and rainbow colors.  I am concerned that the program downloaded files from the phone that are causing the problem.
    I searched through my photo folders looking for bad files but could not find any.  I uninstalled and reinstalled Elements an the problem persists.

  • "Adobe elements has stopped working."

    I've received the error "Adobe elements has stopped working" and then the program closes.  It has happened numerous times and now happens more and more often.  Does anyone have any fixes for this?

    I've been having the same problem.
    Win7 64bit 8GB RAM, 500GB free hard drive space.  All Win updates in place on a regular basis (last time was 2 days ago).
    I often get the "stopped working" popup message on my desktop right after I close the program (well, yeah, I would hope it would stop working when I close it) and also increasingly get it on the desktop when I open the program (before the PE12 screen opens).  This latter popup "stopped working" message will persist until I close the popup window, even though the program is working just fine.
    The most occurrences of actual crashes seem to be when doing a lot of titles (new or editing existing), when saving, and when exporting.
    For awhile it seemed (very subjectively) that rendering the project before saving or exporting possibly helped reduce the number of occurrences, but just now the "stopped working" message popped up and the program quit while I was rendering (got about 80% through).
    This time I checked the "check online for a solution" box, but to no avail--there was a brief period while Windows searched online, and then the program shut down anyway.
    I've tried rebooting, making sure other programs were closed, etc. but nothing really seems to have much effect.  The same project will save or export just fine on one occasion, then if I so much as change a word in a title it will become unstable.  The entire project is 26 minutes long.  One video track (2) with titles, one main video track (1), one audio track (mostly empty) of ambient sound with the video, one sound track.
    I will try Steve's suggestion of Ctrl-Alt-Shift for awhile on opening.  (This helps when PSE tools freeze up.)  Thanks for the tip!

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 13 stops working trying to add media via videos from camera

    When I try to add media selecting videos from camera or flip, Adobe Premiere Elements 13 stops working and closes. What might be the problem?

    elizabethmeow
    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? Have you had the opportunity to update 13 to 13.1 using an opened projects Help Menu/Update?
    What are the full properties of your source media and how are you importing them that you are trying to import into the project? A quick way to get that information, if you do not know that information, is for you to post the brand/model/settings for the camera that recorded the video.
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Element 13, and are you running the program as Administrator?
    Lots of additional questions, but the answers to the above may give us the answer that you need to resolve you issue.
    Thank you.

  • During app load, Premiere elements 11 stopped working all of a sudden. Why?

    Premiere elements 11 stopped working all of a sudden. Says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly" I re-installed it but still the same.
    I haven't installed any other apps except adobe reader and there were a few Windows updates but that was it. Some history - I had defraged my hard drive when this started to happen. Wouldn't the re-install have fixed it if the de-frag caused this problem? What is causing elements to stop loading at the splash screen?

    Thanks for the follow up with the very helpful information.
    If this is one of those Importer QuickTime type issues, the answers are few if any.
    If you have not already tried
    Have you attempted to delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary,
    the whole 11.0 Folder in which it exists.
    then, please try the following...
    My expectations for the following are not high, but worth the time -
    1 uninstall the usual Control Panel way - you might want to uninstall QuickTime at the same time.
    2. free ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts)
    CCleaner - Download
    3. reinstall QuickTime and then Premiere Elements with anti-virus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Others on the list...
    1. Create a new User Account with Administrative Privileges and install and run Premiere Elements
    from there.
    2. Use a new set of installation files either from Adobe if you purchased the program from it as an online
    download, or get tryout installation files for 11 into which you can insert your purchased serial number.

  • Premiere Elements 9 stops working. A lot.

    Just bought and downloaded Premiere Elements 9. Just playing around with a couple of titles, a short video clip and one photo. Premiere Elements must have stopped working at least four different times. Is this normal? I have a brand new HP laptop with all the necessary processors, memory and disk space. This seems odd.
    Also, every time I go back and re-open, I get that annoying dashboard with the choice of organizing, new project or open project. Can I turn that off? I'd rather just go to the normal opening screen.
    Thanks!

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer stops working

    I just installed Photoshop Elements 12 and when I open the Organizer, I get a message that the program has stopped working and is going to close, while the Editor is still operational.  I uninstalled Elements 10 before my new installation.  How can I fix this?

    It might work but this is not a practical solution.
    I have many picture folders on my pc and several of these have AVC files.
    My intention was to use Photo Shop Essentials to edit my pictures. Unfortunately the "Organizer" app crashes when trying to work with my Catalog.
    I have narrowed it down to only happening when there are AVC files in my folders. I have seen others have this issue and I found the issue by what they recommended.
    Sadly if I am unable to get this to work with my current folders I will have to dump Essentials for another application.

  • Unable to work n photo collage

    Just downloade Photoshop Element 8 Premeire.
    In the Organizer file, I am having trouble working in the photo collage.  When clicking on it it tells me that I have to download Photoshop Element 8 and gives me the option if i want the 30 day trial.  I just don't understand this, when I already paid for the service and i am unable to create anything in photo collage.  Unfortually I started Friday night working on my photos/images, and the tech is not available.  Any suggestions?  This is my first time working in Adobe.

    I don't know if I installed the phtoshop elements.
    I know that I downloaded Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.  I have still photos in the elements organizer, than I go into create, click on 'photo collage....
    Then this screen appears og Ready to Edit Photos
    The feature you selected requires Adobe Photoshop Elements.
    See how easy it is to enhance and share incredible photos.  Just install the free, fully functional Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 30 day Trial.

  • Elements 10 stops working when starting Photomerge - Panorama

    I have selected two photos and then went to File, New, Photomerge-Panorama.  The program starts then I get a message that the program has stopped working and I should close it.  I have tried to start the Panorama from the Organizer and from the Editor with the same results.  I can use the Editor for other editing and it works normally.
    The two photos were obtained from my scanner.  I scanned a large document and saved the scans as JPEG files.  I have done this previously and have made panoramas of other photo series and it has worked.
    I have Windows 8.1.  I don't think I have tried to make panoramas since I went to Windows 8.1

    I had the same problem with Photomerge panorama (PS Elements 9) on my new Windows 8.1 HP laptop.
    I found a post over on a thread about CS5 talking about dual video graphics drivers. My laptop has both Intel and Nvidia chips and drivers, and after I disabled the Nvidia driver in Windows Device Manager, so that I use only the native Intel graphics, Photomerge Panorama comes up fine. My external big monitor looks crisper with the Nvidia graphics enabled, but I can re-enable that easily after I am done with Photomerge.
