Elements 12 - what happened to 'make dull skies blue'?

I shoot a lot of landscapes and outdoor scenes. I also digitized a lot of old photos taken without polarizing filters. I used Elements 10 and its 'make dull skies blue' extensively. Now, having converted to Elements 12, I'm looking for the same feature - and can't find it anywhere.
I've tried the Help feature - and it comes up with answers for Elements 10 and 11.
I've searched the User Guide for Elements 12: nothing there
I've tried the tutorials. Again, nothing for Elements 12.
So, I have to turn to the Community for answers!!! If that feature is missing from Elements 12, then I'll go back to 10.

Update....
No word from Adobe who would know for sure, but...
On a lead from a Premiere Pro CS6 thread that run into missing Playback Settings or grayed out Playback Settings in Premiere Pro CS6 version as well, we tried creating the keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+P to access a possibily hidden "Playback Settings", no success. (See Premiere Elements 12 Windows 7 or 8 64 bit, Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization/Windows/Monitor Window/Playback Settings.)
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4412697
At this point, the Playback Settings button in preferences and the Playback Settings choice in the monitor as we knew them in Premiere Elements 11 appear to be gone.
More later.

Photoshop Elements 10 Make dull skys blue quick option

I have just moved from 5 to 10.
There is an option when you have quick edit selected to make dull skys blue.
It worked for a few pictures and then it stopped working, but now I think it is working I just didnt understand it. Its possible I dont understand how it works. ( by the way I dont know all the terms I will try to be as descriptive as possible)
When I choose a sky that is all white, with the quick option. I see the marching ants. When I go to the full edit I can see a layer called Blue Skys1, But the sky does not look blue at all. Absolutly no change.
The sky does not change at all. If I choose Color Burn to normal it does blue the sky some what.
However If I take a picture that has a little blue and then use the quick option it does indeed make the sky bluer. I saw some note somewhere that the tool makes faint blue sky bluer. Im wondering if basically its working by design. eg if there is no blue sky but white haze then it cant enhance white to blue. Does anyone know if this is true.
Thanks.

The color change with the smart brush is not always what one would hope for.
The tool produces an adjustment layer.
Two things to try:
Increase the opacity of the the adjustment layer from 75% (default) to 100%
Scroll through the blending modes to look for additional enhancement. You can use the arrow keys on the keyboard to do that.
For a really good sky replacement technique, look at this thread, esp. posts 1&3. Do download to the Return to Eden brush set referenced there.

The Alibony technique works very well. Do download and install the Return to Eden cloud brushes from Adobe Studio Exchange---you will like them.

What happens when my iPod have blue screen and then it shuts down?

So today, i was watching YouTube, then suddenly the iPod turns into blue screen for one second and just shuts down, then I turned it on, it still worked, I was a little afraid that my iPod 5 broke, so I searched it up on google, then it comes out that the same problem happened with iPhones that also have iOS 7.1 , so I'm just wondering if anyone that also have iOS7.1 and iPod 5 have that problem, thank you.

Software glitches happen all the time
If it ocurs again
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Stumbled upon "making skies bluer" when I was working on pic. Can't find it again in my Elements 12? HELP!

Please advise me about above issue

In the tool options pane, use the slider to set a brush size of 25 px (pixels); then, click the colored thumbnail to open the Smart Brush presets picker. Choose the Nature category from the Presets menu at the top of the pup-up menu, and then select the Make Dull Skies Blue preset.

IMovie is not letting me drag and drop transitions, music, text boxes. Worked fine all along and now nothing. What happened?

iMovie has always let me "drag and drop" transitions, music, text boxes etc into my Project. This morning it is not allowing me to "drag and drop" anything. This is for a client and I am so frustrated. What happened to make it stop letting me "drag and drop"?

I have only dragged Titles to the project. When I did, it worked best not to drag and release onto the video strip (like with the old version) but just above the strip. When you drag and hover above the strip you get a little pointer to the starting point on the strip. Hope this helps.

E4X: What happens to the root element?

I'm working with XML using the E4X notation. I'm used to the "old school" XML APIs that use DOM and I'm a bit confused.
For example, let's consider the following XML
<mx:XML id="myXML" >
<top>
    <sub1 id="uno">
      <sub2>hello</sub2>
      <sub3>world</sub3>
    </sub1>
    <sub1 id="duo">
      <sub2>ok</sub2>
      <sub3>ko</sub3>
    </sub1>
</top>
</mx:XML>
In my code I use the following traces. This is done with the De MonsterDebugger, but all others should work the same way. I have casted the traces to String only to make it easier to ask this question (no need post images)
MonsterDebugger.trace(this, "myXML:" + myXML);
MonsterDebugger.trace(this, "myXML.sub1: " + myXML.sub1);
MonsterDebugger.trace(this, "myXML.sub1.sub2: " + myXML.sub1.sub2);
What I get as output is
(String) = myXML:<top>
<sub1 id="uno">
    <sub2>hello</sub2>
    <sub3>world</sub3>
</sub1>
<sub1 id="duo">
    <sub2>ok</sub2>
    <sub3>ko</sub3>
</sub1>
</top>
(String) = myXML.sub1: <sub1 id="uno">
<sub2>hello</sub2>
<sub3>world</sub3>
</sub1>
<sub1 id="duo">
<sub2>ok</sub2>
<sub3>ko</sub3>
</sub1>
(String) = myXML.sub1.sub2: <sub2>hello</sub2>
<sub2>ok</sub2>
All is fine above and this was a bit long abstract for my question. The question is what happens to the root element, in this case <top>? I was trying to access the data with the following notation
myXML.top.sub1; // etc
I spent quite a lot of time trying to get it to work, until I discovered that the root element is not used. Can anyone explain this?
Or, I guess the simple explanation is that the root node is ignored and the sub nodes are created as properties of the object. The question also could be stated as: Why isn't this documented in the Flex API Reference?
Thanks.
P.S. I found this article on common E4X pitfalls which also has other interesting topics when working with E4X.

My iPod (5th gen refurbished) flashed a blue screen, then shut down, and restarted. It's fine now, but should I be worried? What happened?

My iPod was working just fine, and then when I went on YouTube, it flashed a blue screen (for like one minute) and then restarted and shut down. Should I be worried? What happened?

My new iPod 5th gen did the same! I think it might be a YouTube and iOS connection glitch

So what I have gleemed from this thread - is that Apple will not help me if an iPad mini is dropped and the screen breaks. I would have lived without the insurance if I could have simply bought a new screen and then had it replaced by Apple.
On something so fragile I would have expected a piece of glass to be a replacement part. But I am glad I made this post because now I no for sure if I break the screen there is no way to have it fixed by Apple and keep it in Warranty.
Yup, kind of like anything else you accidentally break that is more cost effective to replace than to repair. Keep that iPad away from the toddler

When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder?

When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder? I am new to Mac. I've updated the operating system and iPhoto.

If your iPhoto Advanced preference pane is setup like this
all photos you import into the library are COPIED into the library. Thus those photos in the folders outside of iPhoto are redundant and can be deleted to save space on your hard drive. There no need to keep those copies in the folders.
If you do have your advance preferences set as shown above you can access your photos for use outside of iPhoto according to the following User Tip by Terence Devlin which is the best treatise on how to access photos (for use outside of iPhoto): How to Access Files in iPhoto. Otherwise you access your photos from within iPhoto.

HT3529 When texting with other iphone users, the text used to be in a blue bubble. Now it's green. What happened? Am I being charged for these text messages now? I'm with Verizon if that matters.

Thanks for the help, Allan Sampson.
I updated itunes, shut the phone off and on, it still didn't give me blue bubbles. Kept following the suggestions on the page ... I didn't know there was an IMessaging switch, but, shoot, it was OFF. Anyway, I toggled it on and now the text bubbles are blue again.

Reset you preferences:

Hello, I have a Macbook Pro 17'' 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 (2011). I dont know what happened but the pixels on black or dark areas on my monitor are displayed in a flickering red color, and on white areas are light blue. Any idea??

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro 17'', 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 (late 2011). I dont know what happened but the screen shows red flickering pixels everywhere where it should be black, and light blue pixels where it should be gray, I had this problem twice, the first time it just disappeared by itself. Now it's been like this for days, I have really no clue.
Anyone with the same problem or solution?
This is how it looks like:
Thanx

Is that a camera picture or a screen-shot? Is there any difference? i.e., can you capture the problems in a screen shot, or not?
