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:

  • How fix guided edit crop malfunction in elements 9

    Crop in elements 9 guided edit worked fine, then suddenly would change margins top and bottom but not left and right.  Reboot did not help

    Hi,
    You could try resetting the crop tool in the full editor, it might make a difference.
    Load the photo as you do normally
    Switch to the Full edit tab in the panel bin
    Select the crop tool from the tools list
    There is a down arrow just to the left of the Aspect ration, click on that and select Reset Tool
    Now try your cropping again
    Good Luck

  • Guided edit features missing

    I have a Mac running OS 10.7. I have Photoshop Elements 10.
    When I select the Guided Edit tab, there are no options available. The only tools are zoom, hand, and set foreground color. Everything else is gone. The open file is centered in the blank page, and most of the menu items are unavailable, with the exception of filters.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed the program and rebooted. I have also deleted the two database files, as suggested in another post, and they were rebuilt.
    I do not have a lot of experience with this program, but I have read enough of the help file to know that there are supposed to be guided edit options available, such as actions, enhance colors, etc. The menu bar has very few options available from the guided edit window. In fact, the only way to get back to the full edit window is to shut down and restart the program.
    Please tell me what is wrong. Thank you!

    Glad you got it working. Just for future reference, to repair permissions go to applications>utilities>disk utility, click your hard drive in the list on the left side of the window, then click Repair Permissions. This can take a while, so don't fret, and don't freak over all the messages you may see scrolling by in the window. All's well unless you see a red warning at the end of the whole process that says that the repair failed. This is good to do after installing applications that use installers (as opposed to drag and drop into applications), and also after system updates.

  • ACROBAT XI Pro -EDIT TOOL SET  - POP-UP WINDOW IS TOO LARGE

    Good Day -
    I've been experiencing very nagging problem since installing recent Acrobat Xi Pro uodate (on windows 7 system):
    Specifically - I cannot edit/change the TOOL SET to include needed TOOLS (i.e., that were all previously in my Tool set) as the EDIT TOOL SET WINDOW (i.e., pop-up
    window) is TOO LARGE and does not allow scrolling/ or moving down to SAVE  any tool sets and or tool set changes. Very frustrating as all attempts (and recommendations from reviews/support) for decreasing the size of EDIT TOOL SET WINDOW (popup) in order to save (i.e. include ANY) tools have been unsuccessful.  So for past week I've been unable to include/use any TOOLS for working in (i.e., editing/commenting etc) pdf's.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Would greatly appreciate any / all steps & recommendations for fixing.
    Thank-you!

    First, make sure you are on the latest update 11.0.09. Help->check for updates should get you there.
    If check for updates says that you have the latest, see if the setting: Edit->Settings->General->Basic Tools->Scale for screen resolution and try various options (you'll have to restart Acrobat with each selection)

  • How does one tell if they have full access to page creation/editing tools?

    I have an application that was built by someone else. The pages link via parameters to PL/SQL Packages/Procedures/Functions. Now I need to do minor enhancements/corrections and am learning Oracle and OAS as I go. I have read parts of Oracle OAS Portal Handbook from Oracle Press among many other things.
    Providers have queries, Portlets use Providers. Creators of pages make the connection from Portlets to information if they have permissions.
    The base application in question uses almost exclusively Dynamic Pages. There are no forms. These pages contain all possible manner of item content. I get the idea that editing is possible using only the portal tools but I am unsure. A PDK is not an option unless it is part of the OAS tool we currently use. I need to stay pure Portal and PL/SQL.
    I suspect the 'portal' user does not have all rights on my system because I do see an over abundance of editing Icons as shown in the OAS Portal Handbook. Is there a website, book, or simple explanation of how/where to access the editing tools for individual items such as creating/editing/deleting a drop-down box from a dynamic page? It seems that Portlet items just 'appear' in the examples, and nothing I've read really talks about how to specify what you want to see on a page or how to edit a page that already exists.
    Any enlightenment appreciated,
    Rick

    Just out of curiosity... Is there something you do
    like about Mac/Apple?
    To answer your question: no, not really. However, the points that I made here were about Safari and accompanying utilities, not about Apple in general.
    If it makes you feel any better, I am just as, or even more, critical of Micro$oft as the occasions arise...Windoze Vista is the most recent occasion and has given sufficient reasons and opportunities to vent my spleen that I actually have eased up on Apple, politicians, nut-case religious extremists, cell phone owners, and the Department of Homeland Paranioa, etc., due to an exhaustion of creative energy.

  • Need help with imovie photos extension. I am not able to view the editing tools no matter what I do!!!! Help please ASAP

    I Have read a lot of tutorials or whatever but Im not able to view the editing tools from imovie in the photos app. I have tried the trimmer thing and the yellow outline does appear but the only options available are "play, trim or cancel". I really really want to use the filters and stuff so please help me if you can!
    Thanks!

    Well, everything that you have bought with her Apple ID prior to getting your own Apple ID is forever hers. Apple will not transfer content from one ID to another. But in the case of the Mac, contact iTunes Customer Service and request that they send your issue to the Account Security Team and ask that the Mac be released form your mother's account so you may register it with your account. Then you can accept the iLife apps into your account for any future updates.

  • My location bar, tool bar (file, edit, tools, bookmarks, help) disappeared and cannot be restored. I have no back button, home button etc. the top of the screen is just an empty blue bar. Internet still works if I click on a hyperlink on the main page.

    My location bar, tool bar (file, edit, tools, bookmarks, help) all disappeared and cannot be restored. I have no back button, home button etc. the top of the screen is just an empty blue bar. Internet still works if I click on a hyperlink on the main page.
    The problem started when I turned on the computer this morning. I tried to install Mozilla 4 from your website and that installed but I still have nothing on the top.

    It may be due to Firebug. Seeing as how you're a web developer, it's very possible you have this installed. The latest version, 1.7X a10, appears to cause everything you described. I downgraded to "a8" and that seems to have fixed everything.
    I also recreated a profile from scratch before trying this out, so I can't guarantee it's definitely Firebug.

    edit: If you go to the Firebug forums, you'll see this is now a known problem. http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=4012 for the issue tracker.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Portfolio Editing Tools Disappeared?

    Hello, I created a portfolio in Acrobat 9 Pro. I saved the file. When I reopen the file, all of my editing tools which are usually in a menu bar on the top of the document, are no longer available to me, ie. the "form", "multi-media" tabs. There is only one tool menu with a "modifiy" tab, which I set to "edit", but the only tools that become available to me are the "edit portfolio tools" that show up on the right hand side of the screen. How do I get back to a point where I can edit this document and add multi-media files?
    I attached a pic of what the program looks like now, without the tools I need.
    Please help
    Robyn

    What you are seeing is correct. The tools you are looking for (form, multi-media, etc) are all PDF document editing tools. However, a portfolio file isn't actually a document. It's a collection of files pulled together in a sort of a PDF wrapper.
    The official definition from the help documentation:
    A PDF Portfolio contains multiple files assembled into an integrated PDF unit. The files in a PDF Portfolio can be in different formats and created in different applications. For example, suppose you have a project that includes text documents, email messages, spreadsheets, CAD drawings, and PowerPoint presentations. You could combine all of these documents into a PDF Portfolio. The original files retain their individual identities but are assembled into one PDF Portfolio file. Users can open, read, edit, and format each component file independently of the other component files in the PDF Portfolio.
    You can add multi-media files to the portfolio a number of ways, most commonly this is done via drag/drop, clicking on the buttons at the bottom of the portfolio window when it's in edit mode (what you have pictured), or selecting those same options (add files, add existing folder) from the modify menu in the portfolio toolbar.

  • How to get a true "full screen" view without the edit tools?  The help manual promises such a view.

    How do I get a true "full screen" view in the new version of Iphoto without the edit tools showing?  Weirdly enough, the help manual promises such a "full" view, which was always available in my earlier version of Iphoto.
    Thanks, in advance.

    Click on the Edit button to get into Edit mode. Click on it again to come out of edit mode.

  • Lightroom 5.2 freezes when using the spot edit tool with Wacom Intuos 5

    Hi,
       I've been using Photoshop 6.x with my Intuos 5 for almost a year and it's been great.  I recently purchased Lightroom 5.2 only to discover that when I use the spot edit tool that it freezes when i use this tool as a brush.  It starts off smooth, but after brushing across my area i want to clone/heal, Lightroom seems to freeze up, and the spot edit tool is unusable.  I can lift my pen off the tablet and a few seconds later Lightroom comes back, but the tablet is basically unusable to me.  The mouse works perfectly fine.
      I've read other posts at the end of last year '12, that walks through some regedits and disabling some other tablet functions, but none of those work for me.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I solved my own issue.  I saw an article @ http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?19694-Spot-removal-tool-doesn-t-work-with-Wa com-Intuos-5-in-LR-5 that solved my issue.
    Step 1:
    Walcom Tablet Properties
    Step 2:
    Click on Customize and change the default line graph from this:
    Step 3:
    To this
    Step 4:
    Click OK.
    After that, my spot edit tool stopped freezing in LR 5.2 while i was using my intuos 5 pen.
    Prior to doing this, I also did the procedure listed here:  http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8036
    So it's possible that both need to be done in order for the freezing to stop.  I hope this can help others.

  • 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.

  • Advanced editing tool not working in Acrobat Pro 9.0

    I created a fillable form in Live Cycle ES 8.2 and the recipient wants to add a hyperlink to a website in one of the text field areas of the form but it won't work.
    I tried to do it for him in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 but when I go to the Advanced Editing tool it is greyed out. Can anyone tell me how to get the advanced editing tool to work or why it may be disabled?

    Thank you but if I put it back into LiveCycle everything that has been inputted by the recipient is lost. Do you know if there is a setting in LiveCycle that allows hyperlinks to be entered in to the text area by the recipient of the form?

  • What happened to the "Text Edits Tool" in Acrobat X?

    I know the answer is "it went away" but, seriously, please bring it back. In Acrobat 9, when you activated the "Text Edits Tool," it would automatically switch between insert, delete, and replace text in a context-sensitive way. You just had an active tool cursor - if you highlighted text and started typing, it would "replace" the text. If you clicked in one spot and started typing, it would "insert" text. If you highlighted text and clicked the Delete key, it would "delete" text. All this with one tool, that stayed active the entire time you were using it.
    Now, in Acrobat X, you have 3 different tools. You have to click to select the tool - mark the change. Click to select the next tool and mark that change. And on and on. And while you can right-click on any single tool and select "Keep tool selected" - there's no way to make that the default behavior. And that doesn't help when switching back and forth between activities.
    I know that the Selection Tool can now almost serve as the old "Text Edits Tool" - this works quickly with delete, but requires the tilde shortcut for insert or replace. Basically one extra step for each edit than there was with the Text Edits Tool.
    One might think that that little extra click isn't a big deal - but when you are marking up a PDF all day, every day, it adds up.

    I assume you're talking about commenting and markup rather than editing the text of the document itself.
    The keyboard shortcuts are  designed to do exactly what you want. With the multi-select tool active (I beam + black arrow on the toolbar):
    Select some text and press the Insert key - a new Replace text annotation is created and the note panel opened for typing. Press Esc to close the note
    Click to place the cursor within some text and press the Insert key - a new Insert text annotation is created and the note panel opened.
    Select some text and press the Delete key - a strikeout annotation is created (no note this time but you can add one by double-clicking)
    The idea of selecting something and 'just typing' to activate a markup event could not be retained as it interfered with the single-key accelerator mode.

  • Can't find the content editing tool in Adobe Reader XI

    The website lists XI as being able to edit content. I have checked all of the help topics and they say that it should be under tools. But all that is listed is: Export PDF, Create PDF, Send Files, and Store Files. Do I have to download the content editing tool? How/where do I do that?

    you are mixing up Adobe Reader (free) and Adobe Acrobat ($$)

Maybe you are looking for
