    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.

  • Photoshop says "Rendering Type" and loads for a very long time, how do I fix this? I'm new to Photoshop and I was trying to learn how to make a watermark. This happens once I press the "Text" tool. I'm using a Mac with OS X. Please help, thank you.

    Photoshop says "Rendering Type" under a "Progress" Bar that shows up. I'm trying to create a watermark and this happens when I press the "Text" tool. Please help, I'm new to Photoshop. Thank you.

    So you created a document 192000 pixels wide, and 108000 tall, and  set the type to be 2 inches tall.  Yes, the type is going to take a few minutes to render in that document.
    Yes, you created a document much bigger than you probably intended (you probably wanted 1920 PIXELS by 1080 PIXELS).
    Pixels and inches are not the same, and you need to pay attention to the units.

    The serial number on my new boxed photoshop bought from Staples does not match the required number of numbers to install. Help

    You’ve posted your comment in the Adobe Creative Cloud forum.  Adobe Creative Cloud doesn’t use serial numbers.  Does this page help with determining what to do with the number you have:

    I need help moving my Photoshop 7 from my old laptop to my new laptop which is running Windows 7 Enterprise. I’ve tried two routes unsuccessfully. I install the CD, it does not autoplay. I execute Autoplay.exe at the root directory, I am welcomed, I choose English, I accept the EULA, I get the Install/Explore choices window, with the Install button already selected, I click the Photoshop button, the CD spins, and nothing happens.  In the 2nd attempt I execute Setup.exe in the Photoshop directory, and nothing happens at all.  I’m never even offered the opportunity to enter my product code. What should I do?

    There could is likely a compatibility problem between the old software and the newer operating system.

  • I can't apply any of the 15 Matte PS Actions add-on filters to image. New to Photoshop. Help.

    Just installed the 15 Matte PS Actions add-on to Photoshop. But can't work out how to apply the filers (all listed in the Actions Window) to the image I am working on.
    Relatively new to Photoshop. Any help would be awesome.

    What go you mean by "Matte Ps Actions"?  Is that just a typo for "Mat"?  Where did you obtain the actions?
    Have you read the Photoshop Help files on playing back actions?
    Detailed information is needed before others can help you?
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

    I then found one suggestion that the problem might involve permissions. The suggestion was to right click PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe in its installation folder (which on my computer is at at D:\Photo\Elements 11 Organizer) and run Organizer as an administrator. This also failed.

  • Where is the help in Adobe Photoshop Elements 13?

    I've just purchased Adobe Photshop Elements 13 but can't find any proper Help. When I click on Help on the File menu, I am taken to a web page (Photoshop Elements Help | Photoshop Elements Help). It doesn't matter what I am doing (e.g. using the clone tool or trying to apply kerning for example), I always end up on this same non-context-sensitive web page. I am an experienced user of graphics software but am new to Photoshop Elements.
    I'm trying to kern some text characters so I entered "kerning" in the Search field. The first "hit" was InDesign Help | Kerning and tracking but nothing they say seems to apply to my particular version of Photoshop Elemts - whcih being V13 is hopefully the latest. And who are they? Are they an official voice for Adobe? Their "help" was way off.
    Could someone point me to the Help for Adobe Photoshop Elements 13?
    As an aside, why does Adobe hit one with a 27 page legal agreement before one can install the software? I confess I didn't have my lawyer with me and may not have read all 27 pages.

    I'm trying to kern some text (to reduce the amount of spaces between certain characters),
    I don't believe that you can kern in PSE as it comes out of the box. However, there is a very affordable add-on which allows one to do this. It is version specific.
    About Elements+
    BTW, Elements 13 itself is really good. I'm really pleased with its features and ease of use. It would just be nice to locate the relevant help more easily.
    There are available several books which augment the native help files. Photoshop Elements - The Missing Manual - by Barbara Brundage is excellent. I have no commercial connection to the author or to the publisher. Don't hesitate to come here to the forum for help. There are many talented contributors. We look forward to your progress.

  • New to PhotoShop cs6 / Tutorial Downloading Trial Version

    hello
           I am simply trying to download and install Photoshop cs6 trial version.  I can somewhat plainly see that here are tutorials on the web regarding this.  Looking at them  while being many.  But as a new comer to adobe I am hesitant in choosing a tutorial for downloading and installing the program.  I am intertested in finding the closes tutorial that will fit my needs so not to run into any problems  while attempting the download & Installation.   My computer is  hp windows 7.  Home Premiun.  AMD Phenon (tm) 2 x 4 with a 840 T Processor 2.90 GHZ.  6 GB of Ram Services Pack 1.  Using Internet Explorer 9.  Also using the default  Zip utilties functions that came with the computer. 
        If anyone one can point out a closes step by step tutorial regarding the download it would help me a great deal for any future indevers with Photoshop.     Thank you Jon. 

    I don't know what's going on for you, but the page I linked to is only about Photoshop CS6.  This is all I see there:
    I see the word "crack" in your response...  That implies you're trying to do something illegal.  Understand that no one here is going to help you install Photoshop illegally.  You need to stop doing that immediately!

  • 2 ATTENTION! HELP! All Photoshop Professionals.

    ATTENTION! HELP! All Photoshop Professionals.
    In regards to my last message of seeking Photoshop Professionals… I have then since been mocked due to I only wanted to have someone help me with a problem and also become my friend. My intentions were to have someone help me and then for me to not just leave and say bye, but to rather stay and perhaps also make a new friend.
    I feel that it is this lost world that is to blind to see someone’s true attentions, but instead look past truth and in fact not care about others. I on the other hand wanted to make some new friends in the process of asking for help. So I’ am here once again seeking help from those who hear my cry and would like to try to help me in a Photoshop helping situation.
    Hello World I' am issuing a challenge to any one who would like to become one of my top Photoshop editing friends, and hopefully even real friends as well
    I’ am simply searching for people who would (FREE Of Charge) like to volunteer there services by helping me with the more advanced Photoshop skills that I simply just do not posses…But all in time I pray that I may learn.
    My Photoshop challenge at this time would be to magically cut me precisely out of a JPEG image, leaving only a smooth edge around my whole body, with a transparent background so that I can then display a graphic behind the image of me.
    The person OR persons who do the most professional job will become my new Photoshop friends with chances of becoming my real friends as well (That is if you would also be interested in getting to know me
    I’ve attached the image within this message.
    Good luck everyone & I hope to see your talent.
    Please respond to this message Via My E-Mail
    Thank You and GOD Bless.

    <links removed>

    Thank you everyone who have sent me emails I would defiantly like to thank Ramón G Castañeda for being the first person to complete the task of cutting me out of my image  As some may have already seen, I have posted the new banner already on my website. For those who would like to see, feel free to have a look
    GOD Bless everyone and once again thank you all so much who have acutely looked into helping me and have wanted to become friends.
    Also to clarify a few things… No I was not on this website months ago. Yes I’ am a preacher/ holy/ positive hip hop artist, and once again thank you to those who cared enough to help me and look more into my life on the web
    GOD Bless In Jesus Name and I’ll be back soon
