Help needed with Photoshop Elements - Insufficient privileges & save

When using Photoshop Element PSE 6 or 8 (both are loaded on my intel iMAC 24 with 4GB RAM, OS SL 10.6.3)I can open the programme without problem and use all the features. Having editted a file when I click Save/Save as I get an error message that says 'Insuffient privileges' and can not save the work I have done.
Anyone experienced this before and found a solution?
Thanks

It's not entirely clear what you mean by that. If you have that "Pictures" folder open and you hold down a command key while you click on the icon just left of the "Pictures" name in the title bar, you'll see a list of the folder hierarchy. I'll guess you'll see this list:
- Pictures
- <yourusername>
- Users
- <yourmacdisk>
- <yourcomputer>
Is that what you see?
With that particular file you're editing selected in the Finder, pull down the Finder menu option File -> Get Info. In the resulting window what do you see in the "Sharing & Permissions" section? (Expand that section by clicking on the disclosure triangle if necessary.) Does it say "You can read and write"?
In a Finder window click on the sidebar item with your your user name. In the resulting window repeat the "Get Info" process above after selecting the "Pictures" folder. Do you now see "You can read and write" again?
Can you drag a file (perhaps from your computer's Desktop) into the "Pictures" folder? Can you select a file in that folder and invoke the Finder menu item File -> Duplicate?

    Help required with Photoshop Elements 4.0 this has been installed on my new Toshiba laptop with windows 8.1 for some 18 months and operating well. Now it will not open, message pops up saying “attempt to access invalid address” then “application not responding” Suggestions how to access would be much appreciated. Tks. Stuart

    What is the size of your hard disk?  PSE 4 is a very old program and I suspect it is not able to access the entire hard disk on your machine.  Just a thought here.

  • Need help ASAP with photoshop elements 11

    well you can find many tutorials about how to change background in Photoshop Elements. It ranges all the way from using magic extractor to making a selection using lasso and magnetic lasso tools. But I really prefer using a mask for it. Here is how I would change the background of image A and use Image B as the background.
    Open image B in photoshop elements editor- expert mode.
    go to file->place and choose the image A to place over image B
    go to layers panel by choosing Window-> layers from menu bar. Right click the layer A choose simplify layer.
    with layer A selected, choose layer>layer mask> reveal All from menu bar. It would create a layer mask on the layer A.
    Select the mark layer of layer A, choose the brush tool and change foreground color to black. Paint all over the are you want to remove from the layer A. if you make an error, change the color white to get your image area back. it is a good practice to use lower opacity(~60) while using layer mark as it gives you more control over with how much opacity you want to remove the background
    Happy Editing

  • Help needed with DatePicker element

    Hi All,
    I need to add an datepicker in my webdynpro application. The date should be set to the current date by default. I was able to do this. My requirement now is the user should not be able to select any date in future.i.e all the dates after the current date should be disabled.How to achieve this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Yoga

    Hi,
    Create a calculated attribute and in the setMethod of this attribute check the newly selected value if this is greater than current date raise a context exceptoin and ignore the value.
    Ex:
    public void setTDt(IPrivateTestCompView.ITElement element, java.sql.Date value)
        //@@begin setTDt
           Date currentDate = new Date(Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis());
           if(value.after(currentDate))
                //Raise the context exception
        //@@end
    Regards

  • Iphoto Editing with Photoshop Elements 9

    I am going into Iphoto, clicking the Edit button and it brings up Photoshop Elements 9.  I make changes, they
    look OK so I save it.  When I get back to IPhoto, it looks like the change has been made.  However when I go
    back later in the day and click on the updated photo and there is a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle.
    This means it can't find the original.  They're all located in Iphoto, what is happening?  Why does it look like the changes
    are make and then I can't find them?

    I do use a Mac, so I don¹t think versions is an issue. I would rather
    pictures edited in PSE, which began life in iPhoto, should always be saved
    back to iPhoto, as they were in Elements 8. That is not happening. Neither
    do I know where to find pictures that PSE has saved.

    >> The save dialog sees an original and asks for permission to change it.
    If you see the save as dialog you don't have your saving files preference set
    correctly. To make versions, you must set it to Save over Original.
    However, note that there is a big ol' bug in the mac version that if you even
    open that particular preference window (even if you don't change anything
    there) PSE will no longer add file extensions when you save. When using PSE as
    external editor it doesn't matter so much, but if you ever save to the desktop
    you will need to add the file extension manually to the saved file.

  • Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years.

    Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years.  Does Elements need to have access to ‘My Pictures’ on Windows as when I remove Photos from ‘My Pictures’, Elements later, when backing up, gives a message that it is unable to ‘reconnect’ to the same picture on elements.  On other occasions when removing a photo from Elements catalogue I also get a similar message when backing up saying ‘unable to reconnect’.  1. Is there a relationship between Elements and My Pictures and is Elements dependant on    the Windows ‘My Pictures’? 2. Why does some photos in Elements in some cases cause them to multiply e.g. double; triple; quadruple; and on occasions even more?  Is there something I need to do to stop this or an easy way I can remove the multiples without spending hours doing it manually one by one?  Am I doing something wrong? My O/S is Windows XP SP2 and windows Vista on my Laptop.  I have been using Elements 5 and have just purchased Photoshop Elements 8.0. (Upgrade) and about to install it. Be grateful for any advice as I do enjoy using the program if only I can resolve this issue.  I am not a PC wiz and mainly use Elements to catalogue photos from which I compile collections and from them slide shows with music.  Any advice appreciated Sonny.t PS Have tried to post this previously but without success so hoping to see message appear and a +response

    The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.

  • Need help retrieving my photoshop elements 2.0 due to virus scan removing it

    need help retrieving my photoshop elements 2.0 due to virus scan removing it - i have everything removed from scan in quarantine but have no idea which  one is what i need to reverse and allow my photoshop elements 2.0 (old version, I know, but I love it) to work again

    Use the anti-virus program to reverse everything it quarantined and in future ensure the anti-virus program settings let you check and decide what items to quarantine and what to ignore. Letting an anti-virus program quarantine things automatically is a recipe for disaster.
    You could also check if you have a System Restore point from before the anti-virus run.

  • I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11.  PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files.  What do I need to do?

    You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

    Doesn't really help either of us very much but I'm also having the same problem with Elements 5. I downloaded the program so I don't have disks to reinstall. And it seems from the other reply that Adobe has given up with the "old program," which incidentally was working fine until two days ago. Maybe I'll have to think about PSE9!

  • Help with Photoshop Elements, I'm new to it?

    So I'm just fiddling around with Photoshop Elements, and I have a picture of a crocodile that I'm trying to turn blue, so I'm using the Smart Brush and Blue Sky effect to change his skin colour.
    Firstly, is there an easier way to change the colour of something that I'm missing?
    Secondly, how do I control the Smart Brush precisely? The thing is his body is about the same colour as the water so when the brush gets to a certain point the entire image turns blue.
    So how do I select the crocodile but not the water?
    Thirdly, the brush. I can draw with the brush, but then I get the "wait" symbol and my changes vanish. How do I stop this?
    Thanks for replies, and I'm sorry for my noobishness, I just got Photoshop Elements yesterday.

    You can make the brush cursor larger & smaller with the bracket keys next to the letter p on the keyboard. This affords more control in making the selection.
    Use of the Smart brush tool is probably the easiest way to colorize an object. The tool has a buit-in mask. If you look on the Layers palette (Window>tick layer), the black and white rectangle represents the mask.
    Left click on the mask, then access the brush tool (the ordinary brush B) and with a black brush paint over the area where the blue spilled over to the water. If you go too far, paint with a white brush to correct.
