Elements 9 problems with photo collage

I have 4 days to print a photo collage series in PE9! I have watched the video, read how tos & searched forum. Please send help!
I am trying to make a photo collage, 5 on a 8 1/2x11 using the landscape, with white background & simple text. Click the collage button, get a pile on 1 page, go to layout & pick landscape with 5, get portatit with 5. Can't get a plain white background neither. How do I do this? If I try to hard the program crashes. It's only 30 pictures! I did not have this problem in PE8. I am lost & running out of time. What do I do???? CJ

Suggest that you make your own collage, esp. since time is running out. Do the math and determine the size that each of the 5 pictures should be, leave enough room to add text.
Crop each picture to the appropriate size.
Go to File>new>blank file, enter height and width of your document, background white, resolution 300px/in. The resolution of the pictures should be the same.. However, resolution 240-300px/in is probably ok for printing
Open the 5 picture files. Access pict. #1, go to Edit>copy, open the blank file created in step #3, then go to Edit>paste
Repeat for the other pictures. Each will on on its own layer. Use the move tool to position, and resize with the corner handles if necessary.
Using the type tool add text.
TIP: Open the grid to help you to position the pictures. The grid can be configured via Edit>Preferences>Guides and grid. You may want to check "snap to grid" under View>snap to grid

Self explanatory.
You could try creating an iPod version of the films.
Use CTRL and B to display the Menu bar shown above. Alternatively, use the ALT key, followed by the F key, the W key and finally the I (eye) key - that's (menu)/File/Create New Version/Create iPod or iPhone version.

Problems with Photos and Fonts and Explorer

I am having problems with photos and fonts when my site is viewed on Explorer. The site is Ostyn-Newman.com The problems can both be seen on the start page -though they happen throughout the site. The photo is supposed to be only 30% opaque and it shows fine on Firefox or Safari, but Explorer viewers get the photo being used as wallpaper at 100% and this steps all over the text. Should I give up a using a photo as wallapaper?
Also the font I am using for "Ostyn-Newman Objects for Fine Homes" shows well in Firefox and Safari, but looks really bad on Explorer products. Should I just change the font? I am currently using Snell Roundhand.

Final Cut Pro 6.0.3 Problem with Photo JPG Codec ?

Hi everyone...
I have been working with music videos for several years using FCP 5.x and photo-jpeg codec, everything works fine. As time going by now I have updated my FCP using 6.0.3 with hopes to get better features. But unfortunately FCP 6 has problem with photo-jpeg codec. The problem is when I load a photo-jpeg video, the gamma will changes every time the playback head is start or stop. And I can't using video transition (standard cross-dissolve) anymore because the video gamma also change at the in transition and out transition. It also appear in my video monitor and output file ! I have searching all day to find out what is exactly the problem, but never get the solution. Should i come back to FCP 5.x ? Is it a BUGS or what ? What happen with Apple, why they let this happened ?
For information the video is in SD PAL & captured using Blackmagic Decklink card.
Please help,...Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions...
I believe this has to do with using YUV or RGB as the rendering method. RT is always RGB, but try changing the setting for your timeline to whatever it is not now...

Problem with Photo Booth backdrops

In addition to the problem of the first page effects constantly cycling, I now discovered a serious problem when trying to use backdrops. After I select the backdrop I want to use, it will appear in the main window, but it will not place my picture in the backdrop. In addition, it will merely flash the "please step out of the frame" message for a split second and then immediately say "backdrop detected." When I then snap the photo, all I get is the backdrop. I have deleted the .plist file, but that did not help. I had previously uninstalled and reinstalled the application, but the problem persists. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and, if so, have you found a solution?

I thought this issue had died and passed into oblivion. Either no one has an answer, or no one gives a ****,or both. Certainly not Apple. I seem to remember sending feedback to Apple long ago, but I never received a response. I just went to the feedback page and there isn't even a Photo Booth app. showing through which to submit feedback. Checking some of the other threads on this issue, it appears that this problem with Photo Booth has existed for quite some time, and there was a problem with placing iChat backdrops too. It seems that this app. is such a piece of crap that Apple will no longer support it. I can't understand why they continue to include it as part of the OS.
For what it is worth: I was recently at the Apple store and out of curiosity tried the app. on a MacBook Air. It (the app.) was so unstable that I didn't even bother to try to set a backdrop. I've lived without Photo Booth until now, so I guess I can continue to exist without it.
By the way: I didn't insert the asterisks. I typed d a m n, and the system inserted the ****. Interesting.

Help with photo collage in Elements 10

I am new to Photoshop Elements 10. I am trying to create a photo collage, but a window pops up saying "Valid size not available for this creation". Can someone help me fix this so I can create??

You can select the layout-horizontal or vertical while choosing a theme for the collage. As you select the theme in Photo collage dialog, it shows the size as x*y inches or y*x inches which decides whether your collage would be portrait or landscape.
Let me know if that helps!

Help problem creating photo collage

Windows 7 and windows 8 pc, same problem. Ive been using adobe photoshop elements for months and all of a sudden when i go to make photo collage, i get the message that adobe has stopped working and windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. So far i have tried resetting it by going to Edit menu, Preferences and General and clicking reset preferences on next launch and it didn't work. I also tried different sizes of photo collages and the problem only seems to happen when using 1 size of the collage. Please Help!

Hi,
I tested iChat 5.x
The first time I set the Chat room to test monday 2 and it reported the space(s) were invalid
Changed it to testmonday2 and hit the go button.
No immediate response but just as I happened to click on a Buddy a chat window came up saying the room was empty.
I closed the window and tried to repeat but got nowhere.
I then tried the Right click and menu "Invite to Chat" and got told I had been removed from the testmondy2 room
A third attempt got a "Could not Join Chatroom "testmoday2". An undefined AIM Socket Error has occurred." message.
Each time there is a significant delay.
After pause to type this I made a 4th attempt that was successful in displaying a Chat (room) Window.
However I then tried adding a Screen name (my Second Account) but I had it open on both computers.
The Host reported a AIM error and the Second computer (the G4 I am typing this on) got the Invite but refused to let me type a reply.
A 5th attempt said I was still in the room even though I had closed it.
Followed by some delay with an Error like message saying I had been Removed.
A 6th attempt got me a new invite on the G4 but I could still not join the Chat.
Logged out of my Main name on that computer as well.
A 7th attempt.
Main Account on Mac Book Pro to Second account on G4 with no duplicate Logins was successful. There is a very long delay at both ends resolving whether I had started the Chat and could see the person (Buddy) who invite to type an Accept message.
Messages from the MacBook Pro were delayed in sending but went eventually.
Replies from the G4 were almost instant then things improved.
The upshot seems to be for me that having multiple Logins of each Screen Name on either computer confused things. Otherwise the function in iChat 5 seems to work.

Hi friends. Problem with photo program...

Hi everyone. Sorry if theres a spelling problem, cause i´m danish. I hope this is the correct place for my issue.
Anyway the matter is about photoshop elements 9. It is installed on an Imac 21.5" machine with a i5 - 2.5 ghz
"sandy bridge" 4 cores proccesor. 12 gb of ram. Everything runs smoothly with snow leopard, cause i´ve read
about so many users with problems after they opgradet to lion. So i will wait and be happy with my leopard.
However a have problems with Elements 9. Fortunely a have aperture 3 also with easy can be used as an
alternative. With elements i experience the program is very slow. Slow when i scroll up and down and slow
when i doublelklik on a picture to enlarge it, and slow in nearly every other way. An other thing i dont
understand whats coming from is that it gives me the message now and then "missing file´s" and then the
option "reconnect missing files" Why and where is this problem comming from. My only teory myselve is
that it is because i have 3 different photo programs. (Elements, Aperture and Iphoto) I have 2 eksternal
harddrive connected wich one of them is used as the backup "Timemachine"
If any of you have some thoughts or ideas they will be welcome.
Thanks
Thomas

Thanks
for quick response
I can access the aam now that I know what it stands for by opening the application seperately from the desktop and download. What I cant do is download from the cloud site where it is unable to locate and open the aam from there. As long as I can download I dont have a problem with it Im guessing it may well be a windows or browser issue. I will try from chrome if I it doesnt work I will let the firum know I would be interested to know whether its something Im doing or its a common issue.
Cheers

Problem with photos on dvd output

Not sure where the kink is in my process, exactly, but maybe someone will have run into this before...
i'm working with hi-res photos in my FCP sequences mixed with HDV video. I've been using the motion tab to resize and everything looks fine in final cut. When i use compressor to output the m2v file using the standard dvd presets, some of the stills have problems on the resulting file. not all of them look bad and it doesn't seem to be discriminating based on resolution of the original image file. I'm sure there's a good explanation, but the photos that get messed up seem to be random. some look great.
In the .m2v file played directly off of QT, they sort of just look darker, like perhaps they are interlaced strangely or something and the even or odd rows are black. but when i use that file to burn a dvd in dvd studio pro, the resulting image looks crazy messed up. Anyone know how to wrangle this one? Thanks

In case someone else runs into this problem, i did some extensive chatting with a final cut guru guy and all we could figure out is that i'm experiencing some sort of bug. that it shouldn't have been doing what it was doing. It started happening after my boss upgraded all of the studio software and quicktime to the latest versions. upon closer inspection, what was happening is that some of my photos were missing fields when exported as a qt, some weird byproduct of interlacing. we tried the settings all sorts of different ways and the problem did, indeed, go away when i changed the sequence to progressive, but i didn't want to sacrifice resolution of the rest of the footage just because of the problem with the few photos that were janky, so i found two workarounds that fixed the problem...
1) using the de-interlace effect on just the photos that were giving me problems. it lowered the resolution, but not enough to make a difference and it looked good.
2) using the motion blur effect. This filled in the missing fields and i did it at such an unnoticeable setting that it might have even looked better than the pictures i de-interlaced.
If this jogs someone's brain as to what the actual problem was in the first place and you think it's not just a bug in the system, then i'd be interested to hear how to avoid the problem in the future.

Problem with photos' colors

Hi,
I have a problem with colors of photos which I'm using in a. InDesign document.
I've created a 20 page catalog, with first and last pages for the front and back of the cover. I placed one photo on the first page and second on the last page. When I opened them earlier on in Photoshop they were matching perfectly, so I figured that it will be the same in InDesign. When I placed them in Indesign it turned out that the photo on the first page has a different color saturation (lower) than the one on the last page. It looks as if the first page was converted to CMYK and the last page was still in RGB mode (the photos were initially in RGB).
I decided to change the color preferences of the photos in photoshop to CMYK and saved thm again for InDesign, but it didn't help (I also checked all of the doc and color preferences in InDesign and all looked fine). It seems that colors are different on the last page only. Is it possible that it has a different color preferences set up? I'm a new InDesign user and I would be gratefull for You help :-)

It sounds like you have transparency of some sort (effects, drop shadow, tranparent image?) on the front and not on the back, and that the transparency blend space is set to CMYK instead of RGB while your image is RGB.

Problem with Photos in Camera Roll after 4.0.1

Hello,
I have a 16GB iPhone 3G.
I updated to iOS4.0 the day it came out, and other than the slowness that everyone else was reporting, I didn't have any other issues.
When I updated to 4.0.1, everything seems a touch better performance wise, but I found a problem with my camera roll.
First, when I opened the Photos App, there was no thumbnail for Camera Roll (all others were ok).
I opened the camera roll, and the last 50 or so pics that I had taken, were all showing as one big Black blob (not individual black thumbnails, they were all joined)
If I scrolled up to older pictures, the older ones were fine.
I took a new picture to test it, and that one looks fine.
So now I can see all my OLD pictures, and any NEW pictures I take, but those same 50 pictures were still showing as one big BLACK blob.
I can still access the pictures if I touch them, and I can flip through them without any problems. I can also copy these photos from my phone to my PC, so the pictures themselves seem to be fine.
And after copying them to my PC, what I noticed by examining the timestamps, was that the problematic pictures were all taken after I updated to iOS 4.0. It seems that all pictures from 3.1.3 or earlier are showing fine, and now all pictures taken with 4.0.1 are showing fine as well. So only pictures taken with 4.0 seem to be affected.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
(Just for the record, my phone is not and has never been jailbroken.)

There is a solution!!
After installing iOS4.0.1 update on my 3G, I too had the black
blob in my camera roll. As posted in an earlier thread, here's
one way to resolve this problem. It worked for me!
Just email the photos that don't appear in the camera roll to myself,
delete the offending photos and then re-save them from the email.
A bit of a pain but it's a way around it. Good luck!

Adobe Bridge CC -- ongoing problems with Photo Downloader (scrolling, crashing, etc)

Hello Community,
Thanks in advance for any suggestions to improve my Bridge CC experience! I have recurring problems, esp. when using the Photo Downloader (in other words, daily problems) -- scrolling either up or down to select photos is a nightmare, as the scrolling either jumps or stops without rhyme or reason, making the photo selection process tedious and maddening. Additionally, if I spend more than a few minutes selecting which photos to load to my computer (i.e., from iPhone), Bridge crashes.
I have been using Bridge for about a decade, and never EVER had a single problem with it until CC. I have a 2013 MacBook Pro, all software updated, etc. No fancy bells or whistles, no peripherals, etc... Just trying to get my pictures from phone and tablet to the computer.
Many thanks.

Moving discussion to Bridge forum.

Problem with Photo Booth (NOT CRASHING)

So I updated to 10.6.2 which THANKFULLY solved the Photo Booth crashing problem... However, some effects are producing an inverted color image
Here is it what I mean:
How it's supposed to look (captured by screen shot): http://img148.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=63601Screen_shot_2009-11-12_at_4.55_122576lo.jpg
How it is being saved: http://img127.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=63605Photo_on_2009-11-12_at_16_122409lo.jpg
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

I don't know the correct place to post this issue, but I do know that I have the same issue on my iMac with Snow Leopard. I actually have a problem with the effects page that has the cube, the clown, the cowboy, etc. All these effects save the photo wrong. The colors are off and grainy.

Message "problem with photo with the filename '(null).

I get the following message "There is a problem with the photo with the filename '(Null).' The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace the photo or delete it from your book." This message appears after place the order and it starts to submit the pages of the book. I get as far as page 9 of 60. I have open the pictures using photoshop and have renamed them and saved them as a tif format. Any suggestions?

I believe that you have gone into the iPhoto library and made changes using photoshop - is that correct
If so then you have trashed your iPhoto library and must put it back exactly as it was - loading a backup is the easiest (probably the only) way
NEVER make any changes to the content or structure of the iPhoto library using the finder or any program that is not fully iPhoto aware

Having problem with photos getting switched

I'm using Pages to create a monthly newsletter. I sent out the rough draft for proofing and people are telling me that some of the photos are wrong. They are correct in my copy. What is happening?

I cannot be absolutely certain of anything. I am new to using iWorks and this photo mix up is the major problem I've had so far. I'm sending the newsletter to board members and staff to proof for content. We want the newsletter to be correct before we send it out to donors.
I am copying/transfering the correct photos from iPhoto into the document I am creating. Somehow the photos are getting mixed up before getting to the people I am sending the document to.
I used the "share" feature in the toolbar of Pages. Some people can open it and some cannot. Last month, even though I had inserted the correct photos in the correct place, people said I had two of the same photo instead of two different photos. My copy showed the correct photos. I had to send the document in PDF by email to some people.
This month someone suggested I use We Transfer. I have to send the document in PDF form because most people can't open it in .page. Some people like it, some don't, but the problem with the mixed up photos on the receiving end continues.
Thanks for any ideas you may have or help you can provide.
