CANNOT GET PICTURES FROM FOLDER ON DESKTOP TO COME INTO THE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS PROGRAM FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS BUT WHEN I CLICK ON ORGANIZER NOTHING HAPPENS, IT WILL OPEN FILES ALREADY IN PICTURES LIBRARY BUT NOT THE ONES I PUT ON DESKTOP IN FOLDER.  WINDOWS 7  OS

Hi cr8zy4jesus
Launch PSE8>Click on "File">Cllick on "get photos and video">Click on "from files and folder" (it will open a small window so you can browse your system files)> select Desktop from the Browse options>click on get media checkbox(make it checked) or make sure it is checked>Click on "open"
I believe it should help.If still have issues, kindly upgrade, PSE 8 is not compatible with Windows 7.

  • Pls help - Photoshop Elements crashes when switching media types

    Hello, I'm hoping someone can help.  I just installed Photoshop Elements 7 and Premiere Elements 7 on a brand new HP Pavilion system running Vista, 9 GB of RAM.  I then imported a catalog with ~18,000 photos and tags from Photoshop Elements v6 via backup from original system and restore to new HP system.  Worked like a charm.  Now I have the catalog open, and when I click on "View -> Media types -> anything else (Video, PDF, whatever)" irrespective of what I select, Photoshop Elements crashes.  The error message states, "Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (Organizer) has stopped working.  A problem cause the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  Note this also happens when I use Ctrl-1 or other shortcuts.
    Has anyone else seen this?  I literally powered up the HP today, and loaded Elements and Premiere today, so it's not likely due to old software (eg I did not install Photoshop Elements 6).
    Thanks all!
    Ed

    Please delete the folder  C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\8.0\Organizer and relaunch to see if the problem vanishes.

  • Please help - Photoshop Elements won't open

    Hi,
    I just bought photoshop elements, installed it and everything was fine.  Like a dope, I downloaded a graphic from a website, and tons of adware/malware was also loaded on my computer.  I couldn't stand all the popups and junk, so i used the Dell Restore to restore the computer to the point right before I loaded photoshop.  After that was done, I reloaded photoshop, and now I can't get in to the program.  (The popups went away.) The opening screen comes up, I choose "photo editor" instead of "organize"...the moving ribbon comes up as if it was thinking, and then it goes away and the opening screen stays there.  No error messages.  If I choose Organize, I can get in to the photo organizing section with no problem.
    I'm running Windows 7.  I tried uninstalling photoshop, reinstalling it, uninstalling it, ran the cc cleaner, reinstalled it, uninstalled it and removed the preferences, rebooted a million times, uninstalled and reinstalled again....I still can't get in.  If I click on a .psd file the opening screen comes up and it sill just sits there.  I went into Organize and loaded an update, that went fine, but still can't get in to photoshop.  I can't do the restore to an earlier date, since I installed and uninstalled the program so many times, I lost that ability.
    I see a lot of people asking the same question in these forums, but I don't see any answers.  Can anyone help?  I appreciate any assistance you can give me!  I was so excited to use the program, and now it seems like I'll be shut out until I get a new computer, which is not going to happen soon!
    Thank you,
    Holly

    Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down Ctrl+alt+shift. Keep those keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • Need help, Photoshop Elements 11 will not open anymore.

    I have Photoshop Elements 11 and will not open anymore, it hangs up on initial window with credits & version info. I tried everything I can think of, shutting down all the background programs, windows update, uninstalling & reinstalling the Photosphop. I am able to open the Adobe Photoshop Editor and I even updated the Adobe from Editor to see if that would help but no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

    You say:
    it hangs up on initial window
    but then:
    I am able to open the Adobe Photoshop Editor
    Does this mean the problem is with the organizer? If so, hold down the shift key when starting it and try creating a new catalog in the catalog manager that should open. If that works, go back to file>manage catalogs and try repairing and optimizing your real catalog.

  • Help photoshop elements 13 ... crashes about 84 percent of the time ...

    no tool bar no drop down menu no help on line no phone support ...
    impossible to use ... and let me not forget is no improvement at all over Ps Elements 12
    difficult to use and overall project file is TOO LARGE and difficult (ergo, impossible) to manage
    working surfaces??? places to start?? Lynda entry program to show 10 percent of how it could be useful ...
    if perhaps it could be useful???

    Hi,
    Assuming that your Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements are at the same version, the organizer is common to both.
    In the organizer, I create an album of the photos to be be included in the slide-show and get them into the sequence that I want. I used to then select all the images and go to the edit button where you can select Edit -> Video Editor. That then opened Premiere Elements and imported the selected images into the slide timeline. There you can edit the durations and transitions.
    At least, that is what happened at version 10, not sure about version 13.
    Good luck

  • HELP PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS AND REVEL HELL

    1. My computer has corrupt partitions.  I have to erase and reinstall everything.  How do I reinstall Photoshop Elements? 
    2. How do I back up and save and be able to open up current Photoshop Elements photos in the newly reinstalled Photoshop Elements?
    3.  Revel offered way to archive but computer would not accept Media downloader from Revel to back up photos bec. computer did not recognize developer?  How do I archive these photos I currently have in photoshop elements?
    4. How and where do you save photos in photoshop elements?  And how do I retrieve them?
    5.If I purchase Elements 11 will this eliminat all of these issues I mentioned here?
    6.  What's the difference at Revel to "migrate" my photos from photoshop elements to Revel and/or Archive by downloading them which I can do since the developer is not recognizable on my computer?
    7.  Do you know if the external g: drive (time machine) backs up photohop elements photos?  What will and how?

    1)
    To re-install PSE on a new machine or on a new disk after the disk has been formatted - wiped clean - you first need to de-activate it by going to:
    Help >> Deactivate
    You do this before you wipe the disk clean or before you toss away the disk and install a new one.   This is to preserve your license and rights to install on two different machines if you wish to do so.
    2) You must backup not only your photos but also your other documents, emails, videos, music files etc.  Anything that you don't want to lose should be backed up in a flash drive (16GB flash drive or even 32 GB flash drive).  You might need couple or an external hard disk that can be mounted on a USB port.
    You also need to back up your PSE catalog so that this can be retrieved on your new machine or on your new disk.
    For points 1 and 2, it is a good idea to make a list of things to do in advance including making sure you have all the CDs/DVDs and serial numbers ready to install applications on a new system.  Planning in advance will avoid headaches later when you are working hard to prepare the new system.
    For other points about Revel, you will need to post them at this link:

  • Please Help (Photoshop Elements 7 Serial)

    I bought a Wacom Tablet which included Photohop Elements 7. I lost the serial number, and I switched computers. Now I can't reinstall it because I need the serial number to start the install. I talked to Wacom about being able to get my serial number, but I was told that they couldn't help and that I should contact Adobe. So, is there anyway I can get my serial number, or be given a new number for my Photoshop Elements 7 without having to purchase a new one?

    Long answer: No. Adobe doesn't know what you don't know, even more so for these OEM deals which use specific serial number ranges. If you never botehred to register it, it's a goner and you'll have to buy anew license of PSE 10.

  • Help - Photoshop Elements 8 crashes when trying to start Organizer

    Photoshop Elements 8 crashes when trying to start Organizer. Funny, that starting the Photoshop Editor is not a problem and works fine.
    I deinstalled the software and then installed it again, but had no effect.
    What can I do?
    Nick

    The Organizer preferences may have become corrupted, needing to be automatically re-built on a re-start.
    Close Elements.
    Click the Start Button and then your user name (in place of mine) and navigate to:
    C: Users >> 99Jon >> AppData >> Roaming >> Adobe >> Elements Organizer >>8.0 >> Organizer
    Delete the PSA file (with key symbol) and delete Status.dat
    After deleting these two files re-start the program
    AppData may be a hidden system file. See the link to reveal hidden files.

  • Help | Photoshop Elements 12 release notes

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/release-note/photoshop-elements-12-release-notes .html

    Will the mac version of the organizer ever get watched folders? I am evaluating different photo management software programs, and I was hoping that PSE 12 would have this functionality for mac users. I have been a loyal user since PSE 4, but when I switched to a mac several years ago, the lack of a watched folders feature has caused real problems for me. If it's not going to be added as a feature any time soon, I would like to know so that I can evaluate my options.

  • 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 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.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 help issue

    I've just installed PHotoshop Elements from Apple App Store.
    Every time I start the program and click <Help - Photoshop Elements Help> I get this message:
    "Mac OS X needs to repair your Library to run applications."
    I type my password and click <Repair>, then the help web page opens in my browser.
    But I have to repeat that every time I use help after starting the program.
    I've run the repair function on Disk Utility, but it didn't solve the problem.
    How can I fix that?

    It's not easy to say why this is happening as the app store version is a stand alone package which is quite different to the regular retail version.
    If I were you I would simply bookmark the help page in your web browser:

  • Help option not working in photoshop element

    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.

  • Got a new computer,  now adobe photoshop elements is having licensing issues. error code 150:30

    Thats pretty much the jist of it. Im no computer wiz and all of the instructions for how to solve this problem are over my head. I don't know how to enter my start up library to delete certain files. Please help.

    photoshop elements 8 - came with my wacom tablet back in 2011. And My new computer has os X yosemite - it was working on my macbook which had recently updated to OS X, but Im receiving error code 150:30 licensing has stopped working messages. I found a troubleshooting list on adobe help that was asking me to delete files in my start up library. It was very confusing. Im lost. I just want it to work again.

  • Help with Photoshop Elements 7

    Hello,
    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 running on Windows Vista.  It will not open and all my photos are in it.  Help
    Where are the photos stored?  Should I reinstall Photoshop Elements 7 if I do will I lose all my photos that are in it.
    Thanks for your help.
    Dan

    Everyone
    I  am not sure what part of PSE will not open.  It is my 72 year old  mother who lives in the USA that is having the problem.  I was there  briely.  What I saw was the blue icon on the desktop that said PSE would  do nothing when you clicked on it.  Same with the menu.  She has all  her family photos in it so she is very upset.
    My understand is PSE 4 is also on the computer.  I wasn't there when she installed PSE 7 so who knows what  happened.
    I think the first step to be done is to find the photos on the local disk.
    I  sent her a message telling her to look under My Documents Pictures for a  Adobe folder and open it and look for the pics there.
    My question is should she reinstall PSE 7 if the pictures are there?  Does she have to remove it first?
    Remember she is 72 years old and not good with computers at all.
    Thanks for all your help!
    Dan

  • 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.
