Few problems with PSE 11

Hi everybody,
I have a problem with my PS Elements 11. I was working on trial and then decided to buy full version, however few things seems to work different than on my trial and I can't find solution.
1) When I copy one image to another it makes transparent layer on it altho capacity is set on 100% still. On my trial image copied or cuted to another pic was looking exactly as original and after I could lower transparency by lowering capacity.
2) When I want to use normal brush and make just one spot, or paint with one line not with a lot of points or other symbols. I thought aerograph function is the reason but it paints with it and normal the same (as many symbols)
3) When I select part of image with square selection tool it makes a circle with it or rounded field but somehow square selected image is finally copied. It seems it finds some borders on img by itself and changes selected square to it.
I would be very glad if someone could help me to resolve those issues. I will feel free to post others also if I they will come to my mind.
thanks!

Thank you for your information about my problem with PSE 11. I have since tried the programme on 2 different computers and it works fine. Seems like the problem is with my computer although my old PSE 10 works okay. I'd appreciate any ideas about what could be wrong with my computer to cause my photos to break up into various segments which don't join together particularly when I move them into 'before and after horizontal' or '......vertical' and even when zooming them.

Problems with PSE 8.0

Please Help:
PSE 8.0 has become so buggey it is bemome unusable. If I go dirictrlly to Organizer on sartup it will work, but if I use any other program first, organizer will not open unless I reboot the computer. I would like to reload Elements and sart from scatch, but i used the downloaded version and can't fgure out how to make this work. I have had quit a few problems with the pse line over the years but this problem is quite vexing. Any help or adivice would be greatly appreciated.
Jeff

I have tried every suggestion i have read. Sbut sti
ll the problem continues. When ever i open another program before
opening PSE when i try to open organizer is just crashes, but when I open editor it opens right up with no problems what ever. And this problem continued even after unloading and reloading the program from start. I have just run out of ideas. I am know considering Paintshop Pro Photo.

Fragmentation problems with PSE 11

I have just installed PSE & Premier Elements 11 on Vista Ultimate. When I try to edit my photos they become fragmented and look like a jigsaw puzzle. This does not happen with PSE 10 on the same computer. Can anyone tell me why this occurs? Could it be a fault with the software?

Catalog backup problems with PSE 11

Hi,
I'm having terrible problems trying to backup my catalog to an external hard drive.
My PC is running Windows 7 with 8 GB of internal memory. My external hard drive is formatted to FAT 32 and has 130GB of spare capacity. My catalog is 45GB.
I have previously backed up the the catalog without any problems but can't remember if I did this before I upgraded to PSE 11.
I initially tried doing a full backup but got an error part way through writing the 'breeze' data. Having read that the breeze data was only used for face recognition, I deleted the remaining breeze data files and tried again.
I then encountered a problem when writing some of my early .jpg files. I couldn't see any obvious problem with these but tried removing them and runnning the back up again.
This time it got a bit further but hung up on some .mpg files.
I removed all video files and tried again.
This time it got up to over 60% complete but it then hung up on some early files which had a 'description' 2002 rather than a straight date name to the file. I thought that there might be a problem with file names including ' 's ', so removed these and tried again.
I then tried running Catalog 'optimize' and 'repair' (I didn't tick 'the re-index visual similarity data').
I eventually got up to over 65% complete but couldn't get the backup to go past my 2007 files no matter what files I removed.
I then tried doing an incremental backup using a Catalog file that I had created in 2011. This backup failed with 'an error encountered while writing.....WaldoData\waldo.cache'
I now don't know what to try! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
FYI, looking at the backup Catalog files that I have previously created, it appears that only the first contains all the images from whole catalog with an equal number of .xml files.
Two others which I created (which I can't remember were full or incremental backups) only have some of the images. I'm sure that this can't be right.
I presume that for an intial backup the .xml files should run from B0000001 to Bnnnnnnn; the .jpg/.mpg/ etc from Bnnnnnnn+1 to B 2(nnnnnnn) and that when one runs an incremental back up the new .xml files are added from B2(nnnnnnn)+1 to B2(nnnnnnnn)+(mmmm) and the image files continuing for a further (mmmm). Is this correct?
Otherwise what should one be seeing?
Regards
Mike

Hi Apple! I am having a few problems with my 6 month old iPad mini (ios 7.1.1). I am using my iPad and then some time later it just restars! Don't know why and it just keeps doing it! Please fix or if I restore my iPad will it do any good? Thank you

Plug your iPad into your computer, open iTunes, and click Restore. This will reset your iPad to factory settings, so make sure everything important is stored safely. Once the restore is complete, do NOT restore from your backup.
If you still have problems, take the iPad to the Apple Store or another AASP (Apple Authorised Service Provider). If you're still within warranty, any service will be of no cost. Check your serial number here or find your receipt.
Hope I've helped!

Problem With PSE-2 and New 1.5 TB Drive

Hi all. First of all, I've been using my registered PSE-2 for several years with no problem. AMD Athalon 7750 dual core at 2.7 Ghz, 2.0 G Memory. WD 1.5 TB primary and WD 500 GB secondary drive.Win XP SP3. I recently had a drive fail and installed a new freshly formatted WD 1.5 TB as my boot drive. Fresh install of WinXP and updates. Now when I install Elements, it appears to install fine. The problem comes when I attempt to start it the first time I get "Could not initialize Photoshop Elements because the scratch discs are full". Then Elements closes, thus not allowing me to do anything with the internal configuration of the program. I have tried unistalling and installing to the 500 GB drive, but still get the same error. I have increased my page file memory Does anyone know of a problem with installing Elements on a large drive or can anyone offer a possible solution to what I am seeing? Thanks in advance for suggestions...
JohnR.

I think Barbara meant photoshop 7, which was out a little before pse2.
If you hold down the Alt+Ctrl keys just after you start pse2, a dialog
should appear allowing you to choose the scratch disk (keep holding
the keys until the dialog appears)
If you have a recovery partition on your hard drive, try choosing this for
the scratch disk and then exit pse2. Then restart pse2 and from
Preferences>Plug-ins and Scratch Disks choose your regular hard drive for the scratch disk.
Newer versions of pse, at least newer than 3 or 4 don't seem to have this problem.

Problems with PSE 10 when saving for the web.

I'm having problems saving for web with PSE 10. I edit in RAW, edit in PSE 10, save as Jpeg, resize and save for the web. Results are muddled and not sharp (looks cartoonish). Also, there is no metadata when you look at the image properties. I uninstalled the program and installed again. No change.

Are you resizing the photo before save for web?
What settings are you using in the save for web dialog for the jpeg quality?
If you compress the jpeg too much (low quality settings below 60), that can make your photos look bad.
And save for the web in pse 10 automatically strips any metadata in order to keep the file sizes smaller.
Also, the save for web in pse 10 has a bad habit of not remembering your last used settings, so it's good to verify that your actually set to jpeg instead of the default GIF setting.

Problems with PSE 8.0 (Mac version)

Hi,
I have two problems regarding PSE and Adobe Customer Service.
First things first :
1. When I try to run successfully installed software I receive this error:
and I don't know what to do next. Im trying to run it on Leopard Snow.
2. I bought software from shop on adobe.com and when contacted with polish Adobe division (country I'm from) I was denied any customer assistance (even when they checked that this software is legit). They claim that I can only contact with american division. Is that right? I'm pretty much sure that I have right to call to the nearest customer service and ask for help - but maybe Im wrong.
Best regards

Problems with PSE 11 and Filter Forge

Is anyone else having problems launching Filter Forge from PSE 11? It used to work, but now freezes after a very partial load. FF still works with PSE 9, and yes, I have the latest version of PSE 11 installed on a 64-bit version of Win 7 Pro.

I did not use the trial version of PSE 7 but installed directly from a purchased CD. The "registration" option under the help menu of the editor is not highlighted and there is no option to deactivate the serial number under help in either the editor or the organizer. Therefore I must assume that Ankush is correct that there is nothing that I need to do prior to uninstalling PSE 7.
Also, am I correct to assume that since this original post was marked as a discussion and not a question, I do not need to close it in any way?
Thanks to all who have responded and offered assistance.

A few Problems with my Zen Mi

Hi I have had my player for just over year now and a few problems have just come up. First off the power switch is getting harder and harder to use. I am having to push the power button pretty hard now and have to hold it for a little while. Also when connect my player into the computer and go into the creative mediasouce player and click to access my zen micro it says its not connected.
Can anyone help me with these problems.
Its a 5gb zen micro version .02.05 if that means anything

Regarding your connection problems, are you using WMP? It is known to cause connection problems with the Zens.
Have you tried reinstalling the Creative Software?
Have you tried the connection with another PC IF available?
And regarding the power button, I'm guess that it is due to aging? I still have my Zen Micro (even though I use my ZVM) and I do have to hold the power button a little bit longer than before (3-5 seconds more) for it to turn on. Same happens when I use the lock mode (I just tried it)
and it's kinda rough for it to push instantly (effortless but still feels a little rough).
Good luck with your connection, let us know if it worked!

A few problems with my site I'd be grateful for help with...

Hi, I'm encountering some strange problems with my website, and I'd be really appreciative if anyone could help me. The site's live so I've included links to help anyone kind enough to respond. Thanks in advance.
1. On many of the pages, a scrollbar appears at the width of the container as opposed to the browser window. The 'clear' property doesn't seem to work, (although I am quite new to it so could have made some sort of basic error).
http://austinlindsay.com/suretowin.html
2. I'm having difficulty with the 'screenshots' on the left hand side of the page. First, the larger images should only appear when hovering over the thumbnails, but they seem to appear when hovering over the space where they appear.
The second problem is trying to make the background of the larger images consistent with their individual images in the foreground. Problem is the background always have a fixed width across the page. You can see what I mean when hovering over the final screenshot (called 'Scoreboard')
http://austinlindsay.com/virtuoso.html
Two problems with the 'Featured' section. The central link jilts slightly when hovered over. It's really strange. I've tested it by changing the order and putting a different link in the centre, and found it's not a problem with a link, it's a problem with it being positioned centrally. I couldn't find a solution for it, though. The final problem with this is that a horizontal scrollbar appear when hovering over any of the links (apart from the final one, Logos, for some reason).
http://austinlindsay.com/
I know there's a lot of problems here, but thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

No, there is definitely no height property on the container (or the content which is causing the problem). But to be fair, it may be because the content that gets hidden is, until hovered over, not visible. I've posted the code for that below, along with the container if anyone could help?

A few problems with the ipod touch

Hi all,
Just trying to get some feedback from everyone. Firstly I love the ipod touch, I reckon it was a great buy compared to all the other new ipods (please dun shoot me on this, this is my opinion :P) but I've noticed some problems with it and was wondering if anyone else has the same problems.
Firstly when I sync the touch to my computer and change the name/details of 1 movie file, when I go back to the touch in the videos section the frame that is used on the list goes missing and defaults into the generic one (the grey looking monitor). I'm not sure why. I cannot get it back no matter what I try.
Another thing, I swap back and forth syncing using my MacBook Pro and my Toshiba Tecra (XP SP2) depending on which one I'm using at that particular moment. It's fine for music, but when I try to upload any kind of movies on the Tecra it seems to give me a BSOD. Something to do with the QT program files clashing with the system. Anyone had this problem before? And as a result I would just go to my MBP to upload movies and such.
Any kind of feedback and help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time all.
