Elements 13 Editor freezing up

I have spent the last week trying to get help solving this problem. I have Elements 11 on the same computer, and the Editor works fine. But every time I try to edit a photo in Elements 13, the screen freezes within 2 to 3 minutes. Once it freezes, it stays frozen. It freezes when I'm making my selections with the Quick Selection Tool and the Lasso Tool. I don't know if it freezes during other operations because I haven't been able to get past the selection process without the screen freezing. I have to go into the Task Manager to end the program (although it doesn't say in the Task Manager that it's not responding). I also have the same problem in CS6 if I start in the Elements Organizer and then edit the photo in CS6. However, if I start in Bridge and then edit a photo in CS6, it doesn't freeze. So it seems to be an Elements 13 problem. I have tried all sorts of things so far-uninstalling and reinstalling Elements 13, Neat Image (noise reduction plug-in), and Camera RAW8.7.1. I also hired someone to try to fix it, and he manually removed files from Elements 13 after he uninstalled it to make sure it was completely uninstalled before he reinstalled it. I also tried installing it on a different drive on the computer, and that didn't help either. I also called Dell technical support 3 times in the past week, and they couldn't figure out what was wrong, either. There seems to be no way to contact anyone from Adobe. I posted this question on the Elements Village forum, and a lot of people gave me suggestions, but nothing's working. HELP!

Nikita,
I have to leave for work in about 1/2 hour.

Elements 13 editor freezes constantly

Upgraded from Elements 8 to Elements 13 last week. Elements Editor freezes after about 8 images now. Organizer is fine. I have Windows 7, 64 bit. I am scanning slides using Epson V500 into a file outside of Elements (no Twain any more). I open 6-20 images in Editor after scanning. I rotate, straighten, crop all images. When this is done for all images, I add file info & save. After anywhere from 4-40 images have been done, I get the checkerboard so I can't see the image in Editor. I can see the image in the Photo Bin. When I click on File Info, image appears, but I can't zoom, or anything else. I can add the file info & save (thank you!), but when I'm done, I have to close down Editor with the Task Manager, program has stopped responding. I also close Organizer, but it's working fine & I close it normally. This was happening after about 40 images, 2 days ago after about 20 images, today after about 4 images.
I have Editor, Organizer, Scanner & AOL open. I use Organizer & AOL to verify file info. I have over 22,000 images done like this in Elements 8 (scanned directly into Photoshop at that time), but Organizer started crashing. So I updated to newer version. I have several thousand images left to scan, so this is going to take forever if I have to close & reload Elements after every 6 images. Help!

Thanks, Brian.
Epson doesn't have WIA support. I scan into a separate folder, then open them in the Editor. I scan anywhere from 6-20 images at a time. I was able to do 20 at a time, twice (so total of 40) before the Editor froze. Now, just 6 images freezes the Editor. (Editor in version 8 I could do 30 or more at a time, never had a problem)
My process is to scan images; open all images in editor; rotate (as necessary), straighten, crop all images; for each image add file info then save, then close that image. At this point, I've been able to save 3-4 images, close them, before the image freezes. The weird thing (I'm very grateful for this however), is that when I click on file info, I can see the image (not do anything to it), add the file info, save & close. Next image is the checkerboard also, but again, clicking on file info lets me add info, save & close. Images seem fine in the organizer, info is there, and after I reload editor, everything with the saved image seems fine. At least I'm not losing all my rotate, straighten & crop work.
I'm currently doing slides, so scanning at 1200 dpi (larger pics are at scanned at 600), saving as PDF.
I have 8.00 GB RAM. Scratch disc is default (c), free space is 807.60 GB. Available RAM is 7102 MB, lets Photoshop use 4971 MB.
Thanks very much for your help. I do appreciate it. I have over 6,000 more images to scan, so this will be very time-consuming if I can't get a resolution.

Problems with Photoshop Elements 11 freezing up

I recently upgraded from Elements 9 to Elements 11. Now when I work in the Organizer or Editor the program frequently freezes up and then displays the message "program not responding". If I wait long enough - several minutes - it begins to run again. I never had this problem with Elements 9

My primary disk when i open elements 11 for all the time working, mouse cursor lagging and swaping. All my operation on Photoshop Elements is not instantly.
I install yesterday fresh Windows 7 with all updates of corse. Problem persist.
This is my log from PSE:

My adobe premiere elements editor doesn't work

I recently purchased Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements as a package. My Photoshop works fine, but my premiere isn't working. The organizer allows me to import photos and videos, but it won't allow me to do any edits. I have windows 8.1 with my PC. Any ideas as to what i can do to let the editor for premiere work?
Thanks

Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
How far do you get into Premiere Elements 13....Can you Sign In and see the Welcome Screen and/or one of the workspaces?
a. Do you import source media into the Premiere Elements Editor, and the program freezes and crashes when you try to do that
(if so, what are the properties of your source media?)
or
b. Is it that you cannot import any file into the Premiere Elements Editor- you cannot get beyond Video and New Project in the Welcome Screen
or
c. Is it that you can import source media into the Premiere Elements Editor, you start to edit the source media on the Timeline, then the program freezes or crashes
(if this is the case, what are you doing in the Timeline when this happens?)
Above I have taken for granted that you are importing into the Premiere Elements Editor with one of the Add Media choices like Files and Folders. Are you instead importing into Elements Organizer 13 and trying to switch from there to the Premiere Elements workspace for video editing?
For whatever is happening, are there any error messages associated with the event? Have you checked the Computer/Manage/Event Viewer/Windows Logs and its Applications for error or warning messages?
Bottom line, please supply more details so that we can plan troubleshooting strategy for your issue.
Thank you.

Photoshop Elements 11 freezing and creating 1000s of tmp files when saving images

Photoshop Elements 11 freezes up and then continues to create 1000s and 1000s AND 1000s of tmp files in the same location as I was trying to save the jpg. Any ideas on what is going on?

GO to Edit->Preferences and you will see Reset Preferences on next launch
Click this button to ensure that all product preferences are reset to default settings when Elements Editor is restarted next. Available at Preferences > General.
Also try enhancing the performance with the tips - http://blogs.adobe.com/pselements/tips-to-enhance-photoshop-elements-p erformance/

PS elements 12 freezing when doing selective color and having to force quit on Mac.

PS elements 12 freezing when doing selective color and having to force quit on Mac. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times and that did not work. I've changed preferences and that did not work and i tried hitting shift+command and option at start up of program and that did not fix the problem either.

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!

Opening an existing project in PE12 elements editor.

When I attempt to open an existing project in PE12 Elements Editor, a new project opens instead. If I attempt to close the new project, it freezes and must be force closed.

From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
•You MUST use an account with Administrator Privileges to run Premiere Elements
•(Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will sometimes fix "odd" errors)
•What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.0.1 update).
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac"
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
•If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
•What were you doing when the problem occurred?
•What other software are you running?
•Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
And some other questions...
•What are you editing, and does your video have a red line over it BEFORE you do any work?
•Which version of Quicktime do you have installed?

Elements 12 Freezing issues

Photoshop Elements 12 is constantly freezing and the screen gets "stuck" in the corner making the top bar and navigation inaccessible and virtually unusable. Help! I have updates the program, computer and restarted countless times. Any advice?!

First try resetting your preferences file. As you can't start the Editor you'll need to do this by double-clciking the executable file (in W7 64-bit at C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe) then quickly pressing and holding Alt+Ctrl+Shift until you see the following, to which you want to answer yes. If you can't get to that you can try holding down Alt+Ctrl+Shift before double-clicking the executable but occasionally all that does is bring up the file properties box. Keep trying and eventually you'll get it.
If resetting preferences doesn't fix the problem then there are several ways to try and open the Editor:
via the Initial 'front screen' where you choose between Organizer and Editor.
via the Organizer Tools Panel 'Editor Button'.
by right-clicking an image in the Organizer and selecting Edit with Photoshop Elements Editor.
by selecting an image in Organizer and selecting Edit> Edit with Photoshop Elements Editor.
by selecting an image in Windows Explorer and selecting Open With> Photoshop Elements 12 Editor.
by double-clicking the PSE12 executable (in W7 64-bit at C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe).
by right-clicking the PSE12 executable (in W7 64-bit at C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe) and selecting 'Run As Administrator'.
Have you tried all these methods?
If so, do they all fail identically or are there any differences in the behaviour?
Are there any error messages?
Did it ever work after the 8.1 upgrade?
Cheers,

Photoshop elements 12 freezes my computor

why does photoshop elements 12 freeze up when I'm in the editor. I'm using a surface pro tablet and I can't get out of the program. this happens frequently but not always thanks

As John points out, you have posted in the wrong forum if your program is Photoshop Elements 12 (photo editor).
You can repost the thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. See John's link to it. Or you could wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there. I suspect that the quicker route is for you to repost the thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum with lots of details.
What you have posted so far is not really enough to get to the core of the issue in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum..

I have Elements 11. Sometimes, if I edit a photo in Elements Editor, the date gets changed to the current date. Why does that happen? It doesn't happen all the time, so I can't isolate the cause. Any ideas?

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

I own both Photoshop Elements and Photoshop (the original editor). I find the elements editor to be too cumbersome to use and would just like to edit using Photoshop. When I try to install Photoshop as a secondary editor in elements I get an error message that I don't need to this because it is already supported on the edit menu and task bar. I can not find any way to send images to Photoshop for editing - all I can do is send them to elements editor or the premier editor. Can someone tell me how to send them to Photoshop? Thanks!

Hi,
The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.

Hi Christoph and WarriorAnt,
Thank you both for the replies.
I don't know anything about GarageBand because I've never used it. I've never used any music software before, (other than iTunes, Ha!)
I don't have GarageBand on my Mac because it wasn't stock on the old Powerbook G4, so I would have to buy it. I'm happy to do that if I can figure out that it does what I want ... but I'm overwhelmed by the info at Apple's site. Too much for a beginner like me. Even the wikipedia.com entry for GB uses too many terms I don't know, so I'm easily lost.
I just want to be able to set up drum loops and play along with them. The main thing is that I'm able to use third party loops. There are so many really amazing loop products out there ... jungle drums, acoustic jazz drums, lounge, etc. I don't want to get caught up in anything proprietary (like Band-In-A-Box) because the selection is limited. I'm sure GarageBands loops are great, but I want access to all these other third party loops as well ... loops that were not specifically made for GarageBand.
Will GarageBand let me drop in any and all drum loops from these other companies?
And does GarageBand work like a basic sequencer, where I can program up an intro, X number of measures of a loop, then a turnaround, then a variation loop, then an ending, etc?
I know the high-end stuff like Native Instruments Kontakt does this, but unfortunately it also does a kazillion other professional-level things I will never need and don't want to pay for (and which make the software more complex and daunting).
Thank you again, both of you, for responding and helping me with this project.
Just a little more advice on those two questions would really go a long way.

Can I store photos in Photoshop Elements Editor?

I have OSX Lion 10.7. Before spending $80 on Photoshop Elements 10 Editor from the Apple App Store, I have a couple of questions...
     1. Can I download photos from my camera directly to Photoshop Elements, or must thry go to iPhoto first?
     2. After I process photos using PSE Editor, can I store them in Photoshop Elements, or must they be stored in iPhoto?
        Thanks for your help.........

Elements editor is an editor, not a storage program. Even the full version of PSE that you buy elsewhere than the app store does not store your photos. The organizer program that comes with that is merely a database of the photos you store elsewhere.
You don't have to use iphoto if you don't want to. If you want an image manager there are several others to choose from (aperture, lightroom, etc), or you can just use folders if you prefer that method.
In any case, all the Elements Editor does is edit, not store.

Adobe Photoshop Elements editor quit unexpectedly, Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 and Elements 11. It does this every time I try to apply a filter

"Adobe Photoshop Elements editor quit unexpectedly" Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 and Elements 11. photoshop quits and I get this message every time I try and apply a filter to a pic?

Could you please attach the crash report so that we can see what is causing PSE11 to crash.
Meanwhile please try resetting preferences by:
Press Cmd + K > It will open preferences dialog > In genearl tab, click on Reset Preferences on Next Launch
