HELP, objects wont move in Photoshop elements 12

Hey there , it was working fine hours ago
i have trouble shooted everything adobes awful support has told me to. Reseted the settings and all that jazz.
Problem is still occurring.
If i select a layer image (im pasting in a picture of a car to a back ground)
then i go to move the car .... it just snaps back to where it was pasted , it will move a tiny bit or not at all, but it doesnt let me move it wherever i would like.
I know that withe Command T i can go to "free transform" and do whatever.
But i do a lot of editing with a lot of layers, theres no way im going to Command T every time i want to make a small adjustment of any type.
It was working fine before, and as soon as i pasted the image in, it was in free transform mode....
PLEASE HELP

When the Move tool is in use, you should already have a bounding Box (by default at least, this can be turned off) without having to use the Command-T for Free Transform. The Bounding Box and Free Transform do exactly the same thing.
You can switch to the Move tool by clicking the V key (no modifiers needed). You can temporarily engage the Move tool while any other tool is selected by holding down the Command key. Do either of these change the behavior you are seeing?
What editing mode are you in? Quick, Guided, or Expert?
Holding down the Shift key while moving can lock your movements to a certain axis (horizontal, vertical, or 45 degrees diagonal). If your Shift key is engaged, you may not be able to move your file to where you want because of this lock. I have seen third-party applications engage modifier keys like Shift even when you aren't pressing them on the keyboard. Usually, holding down the key will disengage it when this is the case.
Can you provide a screen shot of what things look like right after pasting in an object?

  • I have CS2 but my help menu shows up as Photoshop Elements

    I have CS2 but my help menu shows up as Photoshop Elements. Does any one know what the issue is?

    THANK YOU CHRIS!
    You solved my problem. I did have one unused language defined, i thought i needed 2 languages but apparantly i don't, because my DVD now works fine.
    It was very hard to trace the problem because the whole concept of languages and menus is still sort of unclear to me. I guess i need to do some studying on that. The DVDP manual sadly lacks a good tutorial on how to set up a multi-lingual DVD with multiple subtitle streams.
    Now i've set up 2 menus for each version (the movie with and without subtitles), only one language and all is well.
    One thing still puzzles me: The first version (the one with the unusued language) did play fine on a G4 with Panther. The white menus showed up on a G5 with Tiger and on my standalone DVD-players. So somehow Quicktime also plays a role in this. The fact that this is a DVD9 has nothing to do with it. Thanks again.

    I share this person's pain.  And was just now about to ask the same question.  So, in effect we're screwed.  I have the disc but without a drive I think E12 and this computer is going to have a very short life in my life.  And for the life of me, why is so darn hard to get questions answered by Adobe?  Good grief...I have 2 books and have saty through enough video "tutorials" to last me for some time!

    Hi
    Ok, how do you deactivate Photoshop in old computer?
    Is it possible then to read in Photoshop with license code in to the new computer?
    Is it so that when you have deactivated photoshop in old computer with internet access, it is possible to read in it on the new computer with internet access cause adobe then can see that Photoshop is not installed anywhere else?

  • Need Help to re-download my Photoshop Elements 12+Premiere Elements 12 to a new laptop Win-8 64-bit

    When I purchased the special deal of Photoshop Elements 12+Premiere Elements 12, I owned a Windows Vista (32-bit) laptop. When I downloaded my purchase, all went smoothly, no problems w/Photoshop when I used the mouse's wheel-scroll feature, it helped me zoom in to specifically pinpoint areas in pictures t/b fixed, etc.
    I now have a NEW laptop ... Windows 8 (64-bit). I re-downloaded my Photoshop Elements 12+Premiere Elements 12 onto my new one. Options to download the Premiere Elements showed I should use the "bottom" option to download for Win-8/64-bit - did that w/no problem. There were NO OPTIONS showing that the Photoshop Elements 12 had to ALSO be using a specific way to be downloaded? Consequently, I think (?), the problem that I'm having in using the mouse's wheel-scrolling feature may have been affected by using the "normal" format to download???
    So here's my question:  Because I bought this combined deal, should I have ALSO used the bottom option showing installation for 64-bit Premiere Elements 12??? I WOULD APPRECIATE A TIMELY RESPONSE - NEED HELP ON GETTING MY PHOTOSHOP WORKING PROPERLY, NOW!
    Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions that can resolve my frustrating experience on this!

    Oops!!!! I accidentally found my answer within my Photoshop Elements 12 "Preferences" folder! Only one part of my question remains --- what about how to download it as a 64-bit option, or does it matter at all?
    Sorry to have panicked about this, but when I started using it, the cursor movements seemed unstable so I thought it was because of downloading for a 32-bit instead of my current OS-64bit!

  • Help with signing into adobe photoshop elements!!!

    Whenever I get to the step where is asks for date of birth and screen name, I fill it out an press continue but an error message pops up saying that there was an error and my settings were not saved. I have tried multiple times doing it over and over again but it wont work! I ignored it but then I went to edit a picture and it said there was ANOTHER error! Thank you so much in advance!

    Where exactly are you trying to register?  To use Photoshop Elements you don't need to register anywhere.  If you are talking about product registrations then it is optional and you can wait until tomorrow when Adobe servers are running optimally.  The Product Registration screen looks like this:  (Click on the image to get a full picture)
    Hope this helps.

    You can't move it. It has to be installed. Suggest that you deactivate on the old laptop via the Help menu in Editor, then follow the instructions on this tech note to install on the new machine.

  • Need help with an application problem - Photoshop Elements 3.0

    Hi,
    I wrote to an Adobe Photoshop Elements forum, but the suggestions made there have not helped solve the problem. A friend suggested that I post about it here as there are likely many of you who use the program.
    I start up PSE 3 and it begins to load. When it gets to where it says that it is "building TWAIN menu items" as soon as it says that, it closes. I have put the Photoshop Elements 3.0 Settings file into the trash, emptied the trash then restarted the program (one of the suggestions from the Adobe forum) and that didn't fix the problem. I've deleted that file and uninstalled the program, restarted the computer, then reinstalled the program - and it still closes at the same point in the startup.
    I bought my Mac in Dec. 2005 and bought PSE 3 at the computer store the same day, so neither is very old.
    Have any of you had this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix it?
    Thank you
    Pearl
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Thank you Rod That worked. Now, what do I do with the stuff I took out of that file?
    What are the files actually called, Pearl?
    The stuff in that folder will be a "TWAIN" driver or drivers for something that you connect to your computer to take images - a scanner or a camera, for example, (though not many cameras use TWAIN these days).
    What brand and model of scanner or camera are you using?
    The best solution in such situations is usually to download a new set of current drivers from the manufacturers web site, and install them fresh. Just stick the old ones in the trash once you have done this, and checked that it works.
    Cheers

  • Help does not work in photoshop elements 12, WHY??

    I just installed photoshop elements 12, none of the selections under HELP will work, I keep getting a message that “there was an error launching the default browser and to reinstall elements. I have done this 3 times and installed updates, HELP still does not work. I called customer support and was told I would have to pay to get support with defective software????  How do I get the help functions to work?  John Borden

    Perhaps the problem is with your browser. If this is a windows machine, maybe you have changed the default browser to FireFox, Chrome or something else and maybe you have modified the browser with add-ons, etc. If so, what I would do is load Internet Explorer and update it; then I would go into the browser's settings and mark is as the default browser. Close it and reboot the machine. Then try the Help file links again and see what happens. If this doesn't work, I don't know what else to suggest, at the moment. My default browser is FireFox and it works OK with PSE 12, but what works on one computer doesn't necessarily mean it will work on another. Good luck.

  • Help!!?? Photoshop elements 11 download problem

    After waiting three hours for photoshop elements 11 to download, it got to 99 percent and then a message popped up saying it was unable to complete the download at this time please contact support. I tried ringing adobe but was put on hold for ages. please can someone help me.?

    Unless you have an extremely slow dial up connection the download should not take that long.  It would appear it got hung up on something and finally just timed out.  I would try dowloading again.  If it is really slow again stop it and try another browser.

    hi,
    I have photoshop element 8 installed on windows XP. when i go to help->photoshop element help or press F1 nothing happens. I have uninstalled nad reinstalled it two times.
    PLZ help

    Hi Vicky
    PSE8 off-line help only extends to the Organizer.
    For the Editor, unlike earlier versions, you must have an internet connection.
    PDF files are apparently available but this is another hoop that Adobe customers are expected to jump through.

  • How to move to Photoshop Elements and new computer

    Hi, I've been using Photoshop Elements for several years, but am new to the forum.  I recently got a new Windows 7 computer and moved all my files, including photos, using a Windows 7 migration cable. I was using Photoshop Elements 6 on my old Windows XP computer and want to upgrade to Photoshop Elements 8 on the new computer.  How do I get my catalog into PE8?  Based on what I'm seeing in the posts on this forum, I'm thinking that I've gone about this the wrong way.  It looks like maybe I should delete my photo files from the new computer, then install PE8 on the old computer, do a backup in PE8, and restore the backup on the new computer in PE8. Does this make sense, or can someone suggest a better way to do this?  Thanks for your help.

    I should delete my photo files from the new computer, then install PE8 on the old computer, do a backup in PE8, and restore the backup on the new computer in PE8.
    That is definitely the most reliable method.  You're changing three things at once: new computer, new version of Windows, new version of PSE.  The catalog conversion process (upgrading to a new version of PSE) and backup/restore are both fairly buggy, so it's wise to do one step at a time to make troubleshooting and workarounds much easier.  It's also better to use the most recent (less buggy) PSE 8 to make the backup, rather than PSE 6.
    People are tempted to take a shortcut on this and try to use PSE 8 on the new computer from a PSE 6 backup.  That will often work, but when it doesn't, they then waste a lot more time trying to make it work.   As the Car Talk Guys used to say, "It's the cheapskate who pays the most."
    See this FAQ for tips on converting from PSE 6 to 8:

  • Help me figure out which Photoshop Elements I have?

    So.  I looked under "system info" and for "version" it says " version: 6.0 service pack 1"
    This led me to believe that I have Photoshop Elements 6, and I checked out a book on it from the library.  Well the screens in the book bear little resemblence to the ones I have.  I don't know if this helps, but when I open up PE, at the top of the page it simple reads "Adobe Photoshop Elements" -- no "6.0" or even "2.0" or anything after it.
    Any ideas?

    Ah.
    That was kind of what I was starting to suspect.
    I suppose it's advance a little since then?  Do you suggest I upgrade right away, or should I spend some time getting to know all the things I don't know about the one I have first?  (I just got a new camera, so I'm starting to look into using PSE for a little more than just autolevels and resizing.)
