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:

  • Need help installing Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements on MacBook Pro.

    I'm trying to reinstall Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements on my MacBook Pro. The disc is appearing on my desktop, but when I go to use the installation system, it's telling me the program is not supported. Here is what I'm seeing when I open the disc:
    Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Which version of mac os x are you using?
    That looks like the install files for a windows operating system.
    You would need the photoshop elements 6 disk for a mac operating system.

  • Photoshop/Elements to Revel Photo Migration Problem!

    What happened to my Photoshop/element photos? They were supposedly migrated, but I don't see them! I have no albums in my Revel account.I had a paid subscriiption and it was cancelled back in or around February, and told that the photos would be moved over to REVEL...Can anyone help me to get them back?

    First, thanks Pattie for following up with me. I am going to check my backed up hard drives to see if my photoshop materials are on them. It will take me a few days, as I have only small amounts of time to research it at this time. maybe a break will come in a day or two for a determination.

    Michael-
    Is it possible you logged into Photoshop.com with a different email, or is it possible that you did not set up your Elements to sync with Photosho.com? These are the two main reasons users can not find their files.
    The Photoshop.com account created in 2009 with the email you use to log in to this forum has no files in it, and therefore, nothing migrated to the Revel account with the same login. You do have a Revel account with the same login, but it is also empty since nothing migrated.

  • What do i do with a very slow Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements on a PC?

    I seem to be getting mixed opinions as to why my Adobe software gets so slow, despite efforts to avoid that, but my computer seems to be working just fine, it is only when in Adobe that the problems arise, like freezing, taking longer and longer periods of time to open the screen to edit a photo, or to compare two photos side by side.  Any process seems to take such a long time, and the freezing can last for several minutes, and then continue on.    I have had a computer person come to my house and examine my computer and though his knowledge of Photoshop is limited, he feels that it is NOT the computer but something with Adobe Photoshop.  I would tend to agree with him.   
    Several theories have been explained to me, such as Elements and Premiere Elements are a low end of the scale of Photoshop programs, so it is just not going to be able to process high definition large photos well and quickly.  Stating comments like i can only use 2 GB of my memory even though i have 8 GB, so unless i can use 64 bit this is what i have to deal with, and it is just a way for Photoshop to say you need to upgrade to the fancier programs.  I do not need fancier programs.  I am working hard to master these, and have accomplished 4 great blu rays in high definition thanks to recommendations from the Forum here, especially Steve with the help of his books. 
    Others say i need a solid state hard drive to solve the problem.  Others say the only way i will ever solve the problem is to switch to a MAC.  Others state is a mal-ware problem, but i have never had my hard drive so clean and uncluttered.  I supposedly have as good of PC as i could have as far as QUAD-core, 8GB memory, presently a 1 TB hard drive less than 1/2 full.   All suggestions involve big outlays of money, with no guarantee that things will be any better.  I have tried to contact different computer companies and computer 'nerds', and these are some of the suggestions, but no one really has a lot of knowledge of the Photoshop software. 
    I am thinking of adding an additional internal hard drive, but not sure that is going to help either.  Could i put all my Photoshop of the second hard drive, and might that speed things up? 
    Adobe is rather worthless in trying to get help from them.  I have spent hours on the phone waiting and then talking to someone who says they understand English but they do NOT understand the question i am asking, which becomes very frustrating with repeat phone calls.  I gave up yesterday trying to do that challenging experience yesterday after i had spent 3 times the amount of time they said i would need to wait to get a reply, and i was at work, and my free time had come to an end.  So i am hoping you guys can give me some clues of the best thing to do.
    Is it true that Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements are just such a lower end program that trying to do things in high definition, with 2000x1500 photos, making them into a blu ray disc is a major challenge with a PC?  I wish i had a greater computer knowledge, but i have struggled to achieve my goal, but the speed of it all gets very frustrating, though it is possible. 
    Another question asked which i don't think exists, is whether there is a program that could clean up Photoshop, or are there some clues that could accomplish that and thereby speed things up.
    Would appreciate any suggestions anyone has.  I am in the middle of another project so now is probably not the best time to consider any major changes.  But any comments would be appreciated.
    Ron

      Premiere Elements 10 is now 64 bit, but not PSE10.
    Take a look at your scratch disk set-up and if you have a spare volume, allocate that first before the C drive. Elements use scratch disks when it gets low on RAM.

    Turn off face recognition and the auto-analyzer to improve performance.
    When editing photos or videos check the task manager to see what background processes may be running and end them temporarily if not needed.

  • Product information - photoshop elements and photoshop cc

    Dear Sirs!
    My brother (student - polytechnical school) and I (Student - university) are very interested in your products
    Photoshop CC and Photoshop Elements 13.
    What would you recommend and what are the distinctions?  Would there be a possibilty to buy one of this two products once for 2-3 laptops/PCs
    and in the Student and Teacher Edition? (no monthly subscription)
    Thank you very much in advance for your kindly help!!
    Kind regards
    Kerstin

    Mstina61
    Could you clarify...what is not opening -  Photoshop Elements AND Premiere Elements or just one or the other?
    How did you install these programs, from installation files obtained online from Adobe OR from installation disc from a boxed bundled packaging of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements? Do you have purchased serial numbers or are you dealing with the tryouts?
    Please excuse the question, but I do not want to take anything for granted...are you making a distinction between download and install if you are working from installation files obtained onlien from Adobe. In the latter case, after the download, you need to install the program(s) from the Setup.exe that comes with each of the programs.
    Please supply more information and then we can decide on the appropriate troubleshooting strategy.
    Thanks.

  • Should I download Disc 2 of Photoshop Elements and remove Disc 1?

    It turns out I have 65 bit processor.  Should I remove the disc 1 version (32 bit) of Adobe Photoshop Elements, and reinstall using Disc 2?  How?

    I'm installing PSE 10 (standalone, not w/Premier) from a box on Win 7-64-bit.  The installation online help says that for Windows, regardless of 64-bit vs 32-bit, to start with disc 1.  The labeling on the discs says the same thing - start with disc 1.  So I did that, expecting at some point to be prompted to switch to disc 2.  But I was never prompted; the installer went ahead and did the whole thing from disc 1.  The installation went, by default, into Program Files (x86), not Program Files.  I can never remember which is for 64- and which is for 32-bit.  Did I get the right version installed in the right place? 

  • Print Color Management Problem w. Photoshop Elements and Tiger/Leopard

    Has anyone tried printing with ICC profiles through Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac? Apparently, it does not work on Tiger nor Leopard? My prints look very dark and over-saturated.
    The Datacolor folks, who make the Spyder3 calibrators I'm using, say my prints look like they are being "double color managed," possibly once by PSE and once by the printer driver (even though it's turned off).
    Over at the Adobe Forums some say it's a problem with Leopard. I'm not so sure, because I found that printing color management works fine on a Mac with Photoshop Elements 4.01 and Tiger. Any comments? Thanks.

    Aha! Got it. Adobe has confirmed that the problem is on their end. PSE 6 is double color managing the images. Here's what one user got in reply from Adobe on the subject. There are two separate answers:
    Thank you for contacting Adobe Technical Support.
    After consulting with my colleagues about the issue you raised, I can let you know the following:
    The issue is both on our as well as the driver software side and the workaround we have given is the best available at this time. This issue is affecting all printers, not just Epson or Canon.
    The soft proofing effect that you are seeing in the print preview is indeed an attempt at soft proofing. However since Photoshop Elements managed prints are incorrectly double colour managed it is not as useful as it was initially designed.
    As to the exact details of why this occurred, we have no official information.
    We believe that this will resolve the issues you are experiencing, however, should the reply not help solve the problem, please contact us again, quoting the case number given above, and we will re-open the case.
    Answer # 2
    We have had word back from our engineers regarding your issue.
    The Photoshop Elements team are aware of the problem and are working with Apple and the printer manufacturers to get this to work correctly. In the meantime, the only workaround is to switch off colour management in Photoshop Elements and let the printer handle the colour management.
    Unfortunately we can not make an estimation as to when a fix will be provided. We will close the case for the time being as there really is nothing more we can do about this issue besides offering the suggested workaround. Closing this case does not mean that the research will stop however and the engineers are working on a solution to this.
    As the tech noted, let the printer handle the color instead. Tell PSE not to manage color so it is the step sending the data unaltered. When the print dialogue comes up, under the Color Correction heading, change the pull down menu to "ColorSync". In the menu below that, choose the correct profile for the paper you're using. If the Brightness menu is still active, look for any choice that allows you to turn it off. If none exists, leave it on Normal. If the options below that for Color Balance and Intensity are not grayed out, make sure they are at the center positions (no effect).
    These steps are the same as before, except you're doing them in reverse. Photoshop is doing nothing and the print driver is handling the ColorSync chores rather than the other way around.
