Elements 7 menu bar

the menu bar on the top of the organizer is compressed into a bar and i cant figure out how to expand it

  There is usually a right pointing arrow to click when the tool bar is not complete on short displays for laptops and notebooks. Its also worth checking if you have the optimal settings.
Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
It's not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE requires a dpi of 96 or 100% Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% to 149% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) won’t. Sometimes the mouse or tool cursors are distorted.
Try a setting of 115% or 116% otherwise 100%. A common display resolution, notably for notebooks/laptops, and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality. If your height resolution is out of the range 768 to 800 try experimenting with the slider.

  • Photoshop Elements Menu Bar Troublehsooting

    Hey everyone, first time poster here. I have a question concerning a recurring problem that I'm having with Photoshop Elements 4.0's Menu Bar (File, Edit, etc.) I bought Elements 4.0 new in 2005 and have used it often since without upgrading because it still does what I need it to do for graphic design and photo restoration projects, but often, Elements' Menu Bar will lock up after increasingly shorter sessions of use. I can still use photo editing functions in the fields on the left & right, but the Menu Bar's buttons will flicker and not open when I click on them. When this happens, Elements won't close without Task Manager, and I can't use certain keyboard shortcuts on open projects (i.e. I can copy work suing Ctrl + C but I can't save it in Elements using Ctrl + S.) An unistallation and re-installation does solve the problem at first, but the frozen/flickering Menu Bar does return eventually
    I don't want to buy a whole new version of Photoshop if I don't have to, so I was wondering if this was a recurring or fixable problem that I can correct, or is this a sign that I should get Elements 11 or 12? I'm running an HP Touchsmart 300 computer with Windows 7, and it flawlessly runs Elements 4.0 despite it's age aside from the aforementioned problem. This has been a recurring issue for over a year, but only now is it getting to a frequency rate where I can't move around it easily. I can provide other information if it's at all helpful, and thanks for any advance assistance!

    First, thank you lundberg2 for moving this to the right forum, I didn't know that Elements had a separate forum.
    I did delete the preference file for Elements 4.0, though not the way you gave because the Alt+Ctrl+Shift command didn't work on this version. I did it manually by deleting the Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 Prefs.psp file located in AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/4.0/Editor. This did help temporarily, but the problem returned after steady use today on restoring old family photos. Menu Bar buttons still just highlight and flicker, work can't be saved directly, and Elements won't close. I did notice that sometimes, changing the active tool on the left would get the Menu Bar selections open, but not all worked as normal, and the problem returned if I changed tools. Is there another possible fix/remedy that I could try?

  • Photoshop Elements Menu Bar hidden

    I notice with Photoshop Elements that on some installs the full menu of 'File', 'Edit', 'Find', 'View', 'Window' and 'Help' appears at the top of the screen, yet on other installs only a Chevron '>>' appears that you have to click onto to reveal the menu options.  How do I set up the program so that the full list of options appears in the Menu Bar at the top of the screen?
    best regards,
    James

    I still can't find a solution. Changing the parameter wmode:transparent works for .swf files but .flv files do not have the option to add this parameter. If you add it in the script manually it doesn't do anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I cn't find any solution online.

  • Adobe premiere elements 12 - how to create menu bar action for my inserted image button

    adobe premiere elements 12 - how to create menu bar action for my inserted image button without using their movie menu theme

    forbemag
    I do not think that I am completely focused into this completely, so let us see if the following is going to help.
    You are going to need a base for your button. When you mention "image" button, I am assuming that you are using that term to differentiate between a text button and a thumbnail type button.
    The menus (main and scene) take their origin in .psd files on the hard drive and strict nomenclature and structure for Layers Palatte. And, the buttons on the menus trace back to the menu markers on the Timeline, main menu marker and order of placement of scene markers. The scene thumbnail will only appear when there is a scene marker on the Timeline to which it.
    In view of all that
    Where have you already inserted this "image (button)"...into the Layers Palette of a Photoshop document or other? Is this "image (button)" in a structured Layer Group in the Layers Palette with sublayer groups, text layers, graphic/background layer"?
    Let me give you an example
    If you have a button (with thumbnail) on the main menu and you want that to open to a specific scene in your movie, then you use a main menu marker on the Timeline at the spot that you want that button to target.
    If I am getting closer to what you seek, then please further clarify the DVD navigational envisioned scheme.
    Thanks.

    Add On...I did not see the exchanges between us and SG until after I had posted mine. I thought that your discussions were concluded. Please excuse the interruption.

  • Photoshop elements 6 menu bar

    how do i get the left side of my menu bar in photoshop elements 6, to show the edit, file, view, find, window and help buttons. Only the camera and little house show up. The only thing that shows is a tiny arrow which is barely visible. All was okay the first time I installed to another computer (which has since crashed). The reinstalling of photoshop the second time is causing the above problem.

    Thankyou soooooooooo  much Kelly. What an easy fix for something that was driving me crazy. Again, THANKS.

  • The menu bar and HUD elements are unusually large in FF 22.

    In the new version, the size of the menu bar and subsequent toolbars seems to have increased slightly. This also seems to have forced the icons on the toolbars to enlarge, causing them to be blurry as they are displayed in a lower resolution than normal.
    Additionally, the zoom level (text and element size) for many webpages has increased. Manually resetting with ctrl+scroll down works, and the pages retain their proper size, but it's frustrating to redo this for every webpage.
    I have checked that the text size setting in Options did not change.
    What can I do to undo this appearance change?

  • Pse elements 7 missing standard menu bar

    I am using pse elements 7. I have reloaded the program onto a new harddrive and my old one crashed. The pse 7 loads onto the new hardrive but the standard menu bar ( the tool bar at the top of the screen) does show up. The one with file, edit, find, etc on it. Can anyone help?
    Thanks Robert
    No response needed. After some reseach I solved the problem. vista - start menu - control panel - personalization - adjust font size (dpi)  (set this the 96)

    And if you want to continue running at a screen DPI larger than 96 (so you can read your other applications), see this FAQ:

    The Menu bar at the top of my iMac will not disapear when I am using Photoshop E 11 and hide the PE11 control buttons. The usual key strokes etc don't work. I have tried uninstalling anr reinstalling but it still doesn't work.  Any suggestions?

    It appears that you have a Photoshop Elements question, but have posted to the Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
    I will Move your post to the PsElements Forum.
    From a Photoshop perspective (I do not have PsElements, but only its "big brother"), PNG is a very common format, and Ps CS 6 (and all the way back to about version 5, IIRC), Opens them just fine.
    Can you Open those PNG files in say a viewer? I worry that they are corrupt.
    Still, in the PsE Forum, you will get great assistance.
    Good luck,

  • Photoshop Elements 8 top Menu bar?

    Hi everyone,
    I have just bought Photoshop Elements 8 after using PSE5 for about 18 months or so.  I am having difficulty in reading the top menu bar where the black text is shown against a very dark grey (dark sea grey in model aeroplane terms). Can any one tell me if it is possible to change the colour/shade of this top menu bar to some more easily visible combination, say something like PSE5, with which I had no problems?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Dr. How.

    Unfortunately, your only options are that, or the white on black (preferences>general), which is actually less awful for most people (a bit more contrast), but still  not good.

I unstalled the program and reinstalled 7 again with the same result.  I have looked at all the preferences I could find, but nothing that would alter the viewing of these Options.  I have a registered copy of Elements.  By not having these options, It is hard to utilize the "Organize Option".
