Guided Edit conflicts w/ Extractions PSE 10

I've been working on two things: putting people on new backgrounds and improving the looks of those same people using Guided Edit's Perfect Portrait. As soon as I click on Apply Smart Blur, garbage appears in areas I had removed. This picture is one example of what I'm getting: Its discouraging! I've tried doing the Guided Edit first but when I do, I loose all of the changes when I separate the image from the background. I'm using a PC with Windows 7, and PSE 10. Janet

Does it happen if you flatten after running the guided edit?

Guided edits not visible in PSE 13

Hi,
I recently purchased and installed PSE 13 on my laptop running Windows 8...the guided edits appearing in the right hand panel under the guided tab, do not show up. Once it happened, I reinstalled PSE 13, but now the problem has occurred again....any solutions?

HI Nikita,
tried that already....not working....have reinstalled once again. Will let you know if the problem occurs again....
thanks

PSE 11 Guided Edit will not initialize

I've installed PSE 11 on my iMac running OS 10.7.5. Guided edit hangs after initializing about 75% when I try to run it from my main user (administrator) account. It works fine from a second user account. Does anyone have any ideas about getting it to run from my main account? That's where all my photos and other data is. I tried a re-install, and that didn't help.

Well, it took me two days to find where you put this. So far the adobe system just seems to be delighting in setting up mazes and hoops for its users when they have questions. I'm just looking for some help with my problem.

Guided Edit Development for PSE 10

I have guided edits that I have written for every version of Photoshop Elements up to Version 6. I am looking to convert these to Photoshop Elements 10 but cannot find any documentation on how to develope Guided Edits for Elements 10. I have approached Adobe in the past about this topic for Photoshop Elements 7, which was the first version to use flash for the Guides, and I was told that documentation did not exist. Is Adobe still not providing 3rd parties with the necessary information to enable them to write their own guided edits, or is the information buried in an sdk somewhere?
regards,
Steve

Going back to Elements 4, Adobe documented the techniques for writing Guided Edits (or in those days How To's) in the full photoshop sdk, then when Elements 5 was released the documentation was not provided (Adobe have changed the internal format of Guided Edits in every version of Elements they have released), so I'm now checking whether or not Elements 10 is in the same situation or whether the documentation is just not supplied at all. I'm in the situation where I have a requirement to write my own guided edits for elements so that I can add techniques that have been presented in magazines that are extremely useful, and build on the features of Elements. If there is no documentation, and hence I cannot write my own guided edits, then Elements is useless to me, and I may as well throw it away and use the equivalent that was supplied with the digital camera I was given as a present. I don't want to throw Elements away, but if Adobe are refusing to provide the facilities I need then I have no choice.

Elements 10 trial doesn't show guided edit and other menus

I've just downloaded and installed the Photoshop Elements 10 trial for the second time.
I shut down my firewall and internet security while installing.
The program loads fine but when I click on Guided edit, the panel on the right is blank.
This is the same for Quick edit.
The help files also won't load.
I'm running a Windows 7 on a 64 bit machine.
Please help!

Try clicking the re-set panels button on the top menu bar and see if that makes any difference. Have you tried with an image open. Certainly the Quick edit module remains grayed out usually until you have a photo in the main window.
If that does not fix it you may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it.
You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Close down Elements and re-open it in the normal way - then wait whilst it rebuilds the preferences.

PSE9 Quick edit and guided edit have disappeared

Hi everyone, hope you can help me.
I downloaded an action, followed the installation advice and installed the action BUT then when I clicked the guided and quick edit tabs (which were kind of ghost letters), there's just blank panels.
The process for downlaoding the action I followed is here:
If you don’t see your action, click on the Filters button, which is the first button on the left under the word Effects. Then, click again on the Photo Effects Button. It really should be there now. If it is, stop now. You’re finished!
If you still don’t see your action, navigate to the 9.0 folder in the path above. Rename the ThumbDatabase.DB3 to anything you choose. You could add today’s date or “version 1″.
Open the Locale folder that is in the same9.0 folder. Open the en_US folder and rename the MediaDatabase.db3 file following the same method used in step 6. (Rather than renaming ThumbDatabase and MediaDatabase, you can actually delete them if you are comfortable with that, or cut them and paste somewhere safe until you know that PSE is working fine.)
Open PSE 9. The opening process will be quite slow as the two databases are being rebuilt. Open an image.
Click on the Photo Effects button (3rd from the left under the word Effects). In the drop-down list to the right of this button, select Show All.
You should be able to find your new action now. If you can’t, see Gotchas section below.
I think point 4 is the problem.
I emailed the place I got the action from:
http://www.texaschicksblogsandpics.c...shop-elements/
but so far have had no response.
can anyone tell me how to restore quick and guided edit?
Thanks very much!!

Thanks Ken,
I tried that without success,
I also heard back from where I got the download and they said downloading the action will not have caused the problem.
I will uninstall and reinstall from the disc.

In Zoom Burst Effect Guided Edit, when i use the Add Focus Area button instead of focusing on what i choose it bring the entire photo into focus.

I'd try resetting the pse 12 preferences by going to Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor (Edit)>Preferences>General
and click on Reset Preferences on next launch, then restart pse 12.

Photoshop Elements 10: Guided Edit options missing.

My Full Edit is working just fine...however, when I click on Quick or Guided Edit, the options for editing are all missing.
(These are the edits that come up on the right hand side.) I don't know if I clicked on something to make them go away...but
I have tried clicking on, "Reset Panel" a few times thinking that might work...but nothing has changed. Any idea on how to get
the editing options back on the screen? Thanks!

PSE 11 works differently. To delete the prefs there, go to the Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Editor>Preferences and click this button, then restart the program. No keystrokes needed:

Quick and guided edit options menus are gone

quick and guided edit option menus have disappeared. How do I get them back?

It's probably easiest to uninstall PSE10 and re-install it to undo any changes made by adding those actions.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall PSE, then check to see if any of these folders remain (change the "9.0" to "10.0"). Delete them if they're still there. (You'll have to temporarily allow viewing hidden files and folders by using Start...Control Panel...Folder Options...View tab.)

Guided edit tools?

I have elements 8 & windows 7 and I do not see tools, layers, or panels under the guided edit section of elements. How do I access these?
I have recently purchased actions which have been loaded as directed, but I cannot manipulate these in any way as shown through tutorials.

Glad to help.
You might or might not need to do that after adding more actions. The Texas Chicks explain it very well:

Guided edit mode

I have elements 8. I am looking at the video for guided edit mode. My organizer screen has NO
editor function as described in the video

Try to launch the Editor directly.
Type: PhotoshopElementsEditor into the search box if using windows or use Finder if using a MAC.
Click on the file (with blue PSE icon) and click on the Orange Edit tab which should offer three options.
If you are unable to locate or launch the Editor your installation may be incomplete and you will probably need to use Add/Remove programs and start over again.

Quick and Guided edit problems

When I open a jpeg through Elements or Organizer 10 my Quick Edit, Guided Edit and Create options are now blank. There is a toolbar on the left but the edit options are not there. Also, I can't open nef's (Nikon) any longer. I get an error message Cannot open <filename> because it is the wrong file type. At this time the nef's were also not recognized as associated with PS. I changed that in Default Programs for .nef's in Control panel but that didn't work..
Everything was working fine just a couple days ago.
Any ideas? Thanks

Please share the camera model. Every camera has its own format and there are camera raw plugins which depends on PSE version.
Please check the list of supported cameras : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

Can I get rid of the guide lines in the new PSE 10 crop tool?

The title really says it all. I dislike the guide lines in the new PSE 10 crop tool. Is there a way to get rid of them so the tool looks like it did in PSE 9?
Thanks!

Select "None" from the "Overlay" option in the Crop Tool options bar:

Editing Tag Text in PSE 13

I migrated from PSE 9 to PSE 13. I had text which described each tag. How do I access and edit this text using PSE 13? Using PSE 9, I right-clicked the tag and selected Edit. All text appeared. Using PSE 13, only the name appears for editing.

Michael,
Thank you for responding. Perhaps the definition of objects has changed. Using PSE 9, I created tags within three categories: People, Places, and Events. For each People tag, I created Notes which defined information about that person; e.g., when and where they were born, when and where they died, who were their parents, names of their children, etc. These tag categories and names migrated to PSE 13 correctly, but I can see nor edit any of the notes associated with them. Where did all of that information go when I migrated to PSE 13?
In PSE 13, I can create and edit Notes associated with Categories and Sub-categories. But they do not contain the tag information from PSE 9. oes PSE no longer support Notes for Tags?
