Has anyone worked on a sports memory mate using photoshop elements 13? Having trouble inserting images.
Cant seem to merge image into place.
I downloaded one of their templates.
Do the following:
Open the template file
Duplicate the background layer, then shut off the visibility of the background layer. Work on the Background copy layer
Get the magic wand tool out of the toolbox. On the tool's option bar, check "contiguous". Left click on the white area within the template, then hit delete on the keyboard
Go to File>place and point to where your picture is. Here I used a picture of an owl for demonstration. Resize this, if necesasary
Drag the picture below the template in the layers palette, as I indicated to you previously
You should end up with the layers looking like this:

Has anyone experienced there computer freezing up when useing Photoshop CS4 or SC5
My two computers both freeze up when I am useing Photoshop (working with a large file 82-120 megs with multiple layers, channels and paths) it only ocurred when useing Photoshop. Otherwise the computrs works fine for every day tasks for buseniss and personal use, admittedly, I do not have any other resource intnsive applications other then QuickBooks or maybe a large Excel spreadsheet but I have no problem with these large files. I am not a gamer or I could try a game I hear that they can be resorce intensive.
My first computer is used for personal and business. this computer has a number of programs on it, including Kaspersky internet security but it is not lacking in resorces, It is a Intel based computer, sporting Intel quad core 2.5 GHz CPU. running on a 32 bit Windows 7 operating system, its list of components are 4 gig ram, Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT graphics card (on the Adobe approval list sporting open GL) 4 sata hard drives, 750 watt power supply, Asus P5N-D SLI motherboard, the tower case has 7 fans and the CPU is water cooled.
I run Photoshop CS4 on this unit.
after I experienced this loss of critical files I call the tech support line to see if they could help with recovery of the file and to ask if they had a way to prevent this from occuring again.
They said that I could wave bye bye to the file and the work, additionaly they said if I was working with large files like that, I should be runing a 64 bit system that could utilize additional memory.
I really like working with the large files so I bit the bullet and spent the money for the 2nd computer that I would use as a dedicated Photoshop workstation.
the second system has many of the same components because they have worked admirably. the key difference is as followes. 8gig ram, 64 bit Windows 7 operating system, Photoshop CS5 and the only other software is the drivers for the wacom intos4 tablet. I desided not to install any type of antivirus program because I will not be useing it on the internet except when it needs to connect to Adobe for whatever. my decision not to install antivirus can be reversed but I did not want any questions about it slowing up the computer.
This system with Photoshop CS5, freezes up faster then the CS4 system.
When I say Freezes up what I am referring to is the mouse and keyboard will not respond. Control/alt/delete will not bring up the task manager. Eventually I give up and have to force a shut down by pushing and holding the case start button for about 5 to 8 seconds.
when I restart the system I check the file that I have been working and several times the file that I was working on is corrupted beyond Photoshops ability to open.
I have used the windows 7, on board, memory diagnostics and it claims that all of the memory is fine I have reviewed the event logs and the only critacal errors are about the system being improperly shuting down. I even went to the trouble to click on the link for each error that will take you to Microsofts website and will serch for anything they have about that event and they had no help on the event.
People with mac computers have had a similar problem that had to do with there fonts and plugins, but I do not have a mac and I have not installed any plugins. The CS5 is as it came from the factory and the Mac people kicked me out telling me to get over on my side of the street where the rest of the windows outcast are but that was only after they thought they had there problen solved. Its so funny, but losing these files is not, Please HelpThanks everyone for jumping in with both feet.
Let me review what I have already done.
(1). I have already witnessed how the wround driver for the tablet will wrack havoc. when I first started the 64 bit version of CS5 it would not recognize any PSD files at all and if you went to the file and right clicked looking for the (open with) dialog box forget-about-it the option for Photoshop was not an option.
I called Adobe tech support and they told me that I was not going to be able to use the Wacom tablet with the 64 bit versionof Photoshop. I found that a little suspicious seeing how Wacom tablets are the most preferred pen tablets for professional illustrators.
I contacted Wacom and they explained that I needed to uninstall the Wacom tablet, reboot the computer, go to the website, download the new 64 bit drivers and then reinstall the tablet. after I did that. Photoshop found all of my files and opened just fine.It was only then that I found out about the freezing proplem with the 64 Bit version.
A number of the helpful people here have tried to advise this to me but I have already be down tha road.
(2). I have the latest drivers for the BFG Nvidia Geforce 9600 Gt, released in April of this year and I had already new that the were necessary for the open GL so this is one of the first things that I tried.
Some one from our cousin Mac's side of the famaly and (Noel just suggested) that I try turning off the open GL. As soon as cousin Mac asked us to try this I did it (Them being famaly and all).
I was able to give it a try on the 32 bit system on Thursday 7/8/2010.
I was able to work on a very large file with a multitude of layers, channels and paths for about 5 hours before if froze. after the reboot I found that the file was fine and retained everything up to my last save.
But this test is only good as circumstantial evidence because the freezes are somwhat random. They mosly happen after I have been working with a large file for quite some time but some times it can happen very quickly, maybe 25 or 30 minutes.
Bye the way I really enjoy the humor, the Mac people are very serious people.
the Mac users are just grouchy because they expect their computers to "just work", and of course they don't.
We PC users have been given no such expecatations. THANKS NOEL
Oh, don't worry about them mean old grumpy PC wanna be Mac peoples. Gota luv it THANKS dec9
and Eight thousand dollar papper weight says it all. THANKS $8000paperweight.
(3) the memory, CPU and mother board can not be ruled out completly, just yet
As for the memory I have used the on board windows 7 diagnostics and it passed. but this is a unreliable test for hevy-resource dependent applications and a load or stress test would need to be done to be confidend.
I have a number of computers with the same kind of ram but after swaping them around I can not say that I have had any lasting results and it is compecated by experiences like what happened to me after turning off the open GL. What if I had of only worked for 4 hours? I would of thought that the problem was solved thats what would of happened
Do any of you work with files like I have been talking about? and if so do you experience any problems?
The motherboard can not be rulled out by any tests that I know of other then process of elimination which is at the heart of all sound diagnostics.
I downloaded a utility that is helpful called (Cupid Z) that gives real time monitoring and idenification of components.All the voltages seem fine.A.
I hope I will be able to up load the screen shots so you all can have a look see.
The CPH is more than likely not the problem.
I do have the option to install Photoshop on a third computer that has most of the same components but has a different Intel CPU. this would rull out any compatability issues (CPU with the Board) but if that were the case I dought that every other progrem under the sun works fine except Photoshop.
dec9, I did delete the prefs on the 32bit system but I have not had time to test the operation of Photoshop as of yet.
Lastly I will try to upload the screen shots of (Cupid Z) you will see that the latencys and the frequency are correct. Under the SPDscreen the plausible timinigs for verious common frequencies are given,, all seem to be with in range. The lantency are inside the spec.given by Corsair;s website
Asus provides a utility that allows you to monitor Temptures and voltages and I hope to send you a screen shot of this and you can see that they all are correct.
I would like to send the event log but I am not sure how to do that if someone could give me the 411 on how to do this I will send them to you I have saved the errors in several file formats but I cant see how you cold read them on this little page Thanks again POBOX119 signing off -

Mail is still loosing attachments at random intervals. Sometimes the attachments arrive and sometimes they do not. Has anyone worked out a solution to this yet?
As with all posts thus far, I have a sporadic loss of attachments. I can tell when this occurs, as the file size clearly shows an attachment should be present, but the "attachments" column fails to recognize an attached file. Unlike some of the suggested fixes, I cannot use "quick look attachments" or "save attachments" to get around the problem. Rather, I must log into my Outlook Web Access for Enterprise Messaging to see and download attachments. This greatly diminishes the advantages of using a program like Mail.
Not only does loss of attachments occur sporadically, with no consistency as to sender, attachment type, file size, etc..., it also can change on a given message with attachments suddenly appearing and, more troublesome, others suddenly disappearing even if they were previously opened!
Because of mailbox size restrictions through my employer, I download most messages to my hard drive. However, if I download a message that has a 'missing' attachment, it becomes lost forever. I can see, again by file size, that an attachment should be there, but can obviously no longer access the attachment using the web interface.
This problem doesn't seem to be as bad on my iPhone 3G. In fact, I can sometimes force an attachment to 'appear' on my computer by opening the attachment through Mail on my iPhone. Again, not a very appealing fix to an annoying bug. It would be great if a fix for this bug were to come soon... -
Has anyone else encountered problems with Adobe CMM clobbering Photoshop add-in filters?
I recently tried to install Adobe CMM, as a pop-up window suggested after I installed Photoshop CS5 on a new computer, running Win7x64 Ultimate. Before trying to install CMM, my Akvis Sketch Plug-In for Photoshop worked fine. Afterwards, Akvis Sketch runs under the filters menu, but will not accept mouse clicks from my Wacom tablet. Prior to Adobe CMM, all was fine. Somehow, the frustrating attempt to use Adobe CMM broke links to Akvis Sketch.
By the way, Adobe CMM setup tried to run and vanished without a trace - no indication of success or failure. CMM doesn't show on my control panel as installed software, so I can't de-install it.
I did un-install Akvis Sketch and re-install it. No luck as a filter, nor as a stand-alone program.
Additional point of interest - a second identical software/hardware workstation continues to run Akvis Sketch just fine because we didn't try installing Adobe CMM on that machine. It certainly looks like CMM is the culprit here.
Since Akvis Sketch is broken as a stand-alone, I doubt that de-activating, uninstalling and then re-installing, re-activating Photoshop CS5 will help, but it will take a lot of time to recreate actions and re-install other add-ins, plus preferences settings.
Has anyone else encountered problems with Adobe CMM clobbering Photoshop add-in filters, and have you found a work-around?Thanks for your response. Recent evidence points to Wacom's tablet driver, not the plug-in.
Fact #1 - another identical system with ms mouse worked fine so I swapped out the Wacom tablet and bingo, the Akvis plug-in works again.
Fact #2 - So does Amazon's Kindle for PC app, which also quit working after running the Adobe CMM setup I'd downloaded.
Suggestion - since there's a legacy for CS5 users getting the "you should download CMM" pop-up, yet no need to do this, maybe Adobe should remove the CMM download page from its website - or flag this download as unneccessary for photoshop users. All Best, Charles Pierce.

I use Photoshop Elements 11 to print panoramas. Works for jpeg images but not tiff. Suggestions?
I use Photoshop Elements 11 to print panoramas. It works for jpeg images but not for tiff images. Seems strange because PSE11 manages tiff images in all other processes. Anyone fared better?
Thank you for your trouble.
My images are not usually layered and the particular case I am about to quote, it is not. The dimensions are 10,546 x 2,790 and the image has 16.7 mbs. I use 8 bit colour. When I set up the print screens for tiff, everything is normal until I get to the last screen with the image set upon the photo paper. Then the paper size indicated with the image refuses to budge from the A4 size, so the panorama gets printed on that. I consulted the Adobe chat line and the expert could 't get it to work either. So he came to the conclusion that the tiff capability had not been extended to printing panoramas. In seeking advice, I thought someone might refer me to an updating patch!
Well done! You have confounded the system! I could not find any control that would override the setting. -
I am using Photoshop Elements 11. Do all .jpg formatted file have to be retangular in shape? I want to create an oval .jpg picture to insert into a book. Haven't been able to do so. It would work if I could make the area outside the oval completely transparent. Can anyone help me here?
JPG does not support transparency, so even if you create an oval with transparent background, the saved JPG will have white background. Instead, save it as a PNG, TIFF, or GIF which preserve the transparency.
Here is one of many ways to create your oval:
Create a new file the approximate size of the oval. Add the oval with the Custom Shape Ellipse tool, and simplify the shape layer.
In the Layers Palette, Ctrl-click the oval to select it and copy the selection to the clipboard (Edit > Copy).
Then do File > New from Clipboard. This creates the oval with transparent background cropped to the oval size.
Then save it as one of the file types that support transparency (and also supported by the application where you are sending the picture to).
Note: Is is not even necessary to do step 2. That is only if some reason you want the oval to be tightly cropped. It is sufficient to delete the Background layer in step 1 (or turn off its visibility) and save the file. The oval will appear correctly in the book with either version. -
Anyone using Photoshop Elements for Fashion Design
Hi,
I'm looking for software to help me in the Fashion Design Industry. I want to use it for my sketches. I am a beginner when it comes to Fashion Design and have no experience using Photoshop software. I had read somewhere that Photoshop Elements is a less expensive version of Photoshop. I read that it does 90% of what Photoshop does without the higher end pre -press printing capabilities. I also read that there is a book that will help you with the other 10% to achieve the full Photoshop capabilities.
1a. I would like to know is anyone using Photoshop Elements for Fashion Design?
1b. If yes, please explain in details what exactly are you using it for?
2a. Is there more than one version of Photoshop Elements?
2b. If so, what version do you recommend?
3. How easy is it to use?
4. Do you know of any books you can recommend that will help me with using the software for fashion design?
5. If you don't feel Photoshop Elements is the best choice, then what other software would you recommend?
ThanksI've never used PSE for fashion design, but there is only one flavor of elements, not a variety of different versions. I would wonder about using it for this because it could make a lot of difference if you need to create output in CMYK form (for print) or to softproof (neither of which is available in PSE). You also can't create composite layers in Elements.
I like Elements a lot, but I would not say it's 90% of Photoshop, more like 70% and I would expect that people would use Illustrator rather than PS for most things to do with creating illustrations. Also, there is no book that can make PSE into PS, although you can extend what it can do, but Adobe has deliberately crippled certain features in PSE.
I would say we need to know what you need a program to do to be able to give you any useful kind of advice. If you need to be able to draw vectors and paths, PSE is not a good choice. If you just need to sketch, it's fine. -
I am learning to use Photoshop Elements with my recently downloaded Elements 13. I am disappointed that there is no longer a golden section grid option. Does anyone know if there is a way I can get this? Is there an upgrade to a more advanced photoshop or a plug in that has it as an option?
You might have a look at the affordable Elements+ add-on.
It has a script to enable guides with the golden ratio.

My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download or re-install. " and then the button "Buy Now". When I hit the Buy Now button I am put in a field to buy Photoshop Elements 13, with no way to change to Elements 10. I do not want to go through the hassle of reinstalling etc. In fairness, it's been over a month since making the decision to buy. Still, I consider this a nightmare. Any ideas on how to buy the app I've got withou having to purchase a whole new one? Thanks.
If worse comes to worse, will I need to uninstall the trial if I buy a new version? Can I use part of it lime download assistant?Adobe does not sell older versions of their software. If you wish to purchase an older version you will have to find and take your chances with a third party vendor.

Photoshop crashing, Lightroom not opening, help to fix please?
