Help with elements 6 - tools

I have been working with both elements 5 and CS4 without any problems.  Yesterday I purchased a wacom tablet and elements 6 was part of the package.  I loaded it and tried to start to edit some photos.  I am unable to get the clone tool, healing tool, eraser tool and most of the others to work.  I have been able to straighten and crop, but that is all.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?  It very well could be a user error issue, but I can't seem to figure out how to get these tools to work.
Help!

You may have to go to the Wacom site and update your drivers. You might have a look through this thread as I believe CS4 has/had issues:

I don't have E6 but I seem to recall in Elements there's a box that needs to be ticked that says "Tablet Support". It should be somewhere in the Options bar...most likely under one of those tiny arrows...when the brush tool is selected.

  • Need help with Patch Tool in CS5

    I am having a problem using the patch tool in Photoshop CS5. I click on the Patch Tool and select the Source option from the upper tool bar. Then I circle a gray area in the background of my photo and, holding down the left mouse button, I drag the selection to a black area in the background and release the mouse button. Instead of turning the selected area black it just makes the area slightly darker than it was originally. I just don’t understand why I can’t use the patch tool and any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you very much for these suggestions. Robert

  • How do i  get a live person to help with elements 13.

    Need live help with elements 13. can't show video or play music. Error code says no codec on system. Can play music and show video when not in elements. downloaded Flash player and quicktime.

    There is no telephone support for the iTunes Store to the best of my knowledge. Use the email contact links you can find on the Contact Us page (link is in the lower right of every page).
    Best of luck.

  • Need help with Elements 10 & Smartbrush Tool

    I'm new to PSE 10 and have a lot to learn.  I'm using it to enhance my photos of properties when I list and sell them.  I was doing fine with the Smartbrush tool and Quick Selection Tool after watching a few videos on the Internet, but now I'm experiencing an issue with these tools that is most likely a very quick adjustment.  When I choose either tool, instead of allowing me to choose an area of my photo, the selected area ends up the entire photo and after I clean that up, if I go anywhere even near to the edges of the photo, another selected area appears as a rectangular shape.  It's like I've lost contol of the tools and I'm not sure of what I've changed to make this happen.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    On the option bar for each of the tools, there is a little arrow, top left. Click on that and reset the tool.That may fix it..
    If not, please report back.

  • Can you help with unresponsive tools?

    I just upgraded mackbook 10.1 and lightroom 1  to maverick 10.9 and Lr 5. I only used it once...was acclimating and using adjustment brush with delight.... 2nd time back tools are unresponsive; the crop sometimes receptive to a click yet is not fully functional; the brush is seen off to the side and outside of image and does not respond when i click on selected points.

    Because this forum software is so absolutely USELESS now, you don't get to see the whole of the question in this view. In the other (non-list) view it says:
    "can you help with a technical problem with the stereo imagery option ? it won't take out lead vocal in a stereo mp3"
    And the answer is that if you can't isolate the vocal in the stereo field, or it is one of these odd ones where it's used inverted polarity in different parts of the stereo signal for the same vocal, then you won't be able to. But without a sample, it's impossible to tell. If you can post a link to one, that might help. It has to be external to this site though - Adobe in their infinite wisdom don't allow the posting of audio files on their audio U2U forum. Helpful, that, isn't it?

  • Help with Elements 12 and Print Studio

    i have Elements 12 and cant get print studio supplied with my canon pixma pro 100 to install
    can any one help ??

    You messaged me (but please reply to the forum as it will help others with the same problem):
    "print studio just keeps saying its not compatible with elements 12 or vice versa??".
    Go to Canon's web site and download the latest verson and see if that works. It installed for me OK (not that it worked, as I don't have a compatible printer).
    Cheers,
    Neale

  • Help with elements 7 please

    I have uninstalled my photoshop and installed elements 7 on my laptop. I have kept the full photoshop on my main pc. When I imported my photos from my camera via a card reader I could see the images and could choose which ones I wanted to edit first. I shoot in RAW format only. Now with elements 7 I import in the same way but the all I have for the icon for pse (blue background with pse written on it) I have to open the photo in elements to acyually see which one is which. Its so annoying when you just want to find one particular photo to edit but you have to trawl through maybe 200 to find it opening each one. Before I could open the folder that the raw images were in a actually see which one I wanted to edit and change to a jpeg.

    > When I imported my photos from my camera via a card reader I could see the images and could choose which ones I wanted to edit first.
    I suppose that means you could view the thumbnails in Windows.  You have a few options.  If you are on Win XP you can download and install the ArcSoft RAW thumbnail viewer (http://www.arcsoft.com/products/rawviewer/).  Otherwise download and install either IrfanView or FastStone and use their respective thumbnail viewer.

  • Help with elements 11 on mac

    im using a mac and elements 11 opens for about 2 seconds then goes away. its in the tool bar on top of the page but no way to edit or organize photots.  it's an MAC os x version 10.6.8.
    everthing was working fine until recently with leads me to believe i accidently changed a setting on my mac. help please??

    How are you starting PSE? The welcome screen, the editor, the organizer? If you were using the welcome screen, even the welcome screen set to open the editor or organizer automatically, don't. Go into the applications folder and launch the component you want from there, then go to the dock once it's running and choose Keep in Dock. Just don't use the welcome screen.
    The organizer is easy to find, but the actual editor is hidden away in applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 11>Support Files:

  • HELP WITH ELEMENTS 7.03 ORGANIZER...........

    I had to blowout two computers in the last two days due to missing dll files on windows... I reinstalled win 8 64 bit on both of my desktop and laptop... I'm on my laptop today... I have restored most of my software and data files in directories... I have Photoshop Elements 7.0 on both... I have 10,000 photos in various formats, but mostly jpeg... They are in organized directories under Pictures...
    I installed Element 7.0 and the 7.03 update on my laptop and proceeded to look for a way to get my photo in the Organizer... It would usually do this on its own, but now seem to want me to sign up for something... I had changed my email and password since the last time I purchased from Adobe... So therefore I had to update that info to see my CS4 and CS5 program purchases... Nevertheless, not all of my purchases appear under my recent ID and password info... Other older Adobe programs were not move into what is now visible... I'm wondering if that is why I can't sign into Photoshop Element 7?????
    Also it seems to only look for photos in one format and most of my stuff is in bmp, tif, jpeg, ETC........
    HOW CAN I GET MY PHOTOS IN ORGANIZER WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE EDITOR ONE BY ONE???????
    Below is my conversation with on chat helper who couldn't come up with an ANSWER....
    HELP PLEASE, RALPH......................................................
    Ralph: [email protected]
    Rachana: I understand that you are unable to login to Photoshop Elements.
    Ralph: Right, but I don't remember ever having log in before...
    Ralph: It seems like it only looks for type of file format...
    Rachana: Please allow me a moment.
    Ralph: ok
    Rachana: Thank you.
    Rachana: Thank you for staying online.
    Ralph: you're welome
    Rachana: Just to confirm, are you trying to activate Acrobat 7 on Windows 8?
    Ralph: No...
    Ralph: photoshop elements 7.0
    Rachana: I am sorry.
    Ralph: it well on fine and updated to the 7.03 version but it won't let me import my photo of various formats. it wants me to join something...
    Rachana: Ralph, please be informed the photoshop elements 7.0 is not tested on Windows 8 as it is older version product.
    Rachana: In this case I suggest you to upgrade for current version Photoshop Elements 12.
    Ralph: no... i have friends that have the newer and don't like it as well
    Ralph: photoshop elements 7 is good it will let me edit and save photos, but I have 10,000 photos to import.....
    Rachana: I am sorry, we do not have other option.
    Ralph: why don't it let me import my photos... it used to let me do as many as i wanted.....
    Rachana: Sorry for the wait. Please do stay online.
    Ralph: I have used this with windows 8 before just fine... But I had to reinstall windows 8 on two computers recently... I then had to reinstall my programs... They went on just fine, but the organizer part of Elements won't let me bring in my photos...
    Rachana: Please allow me a moment.
    Rachana: Thank you for staying online.
    Rachana: In this case I suggest you to visit forums.
    Ralph: If I try to sign in to Organizer on the top bar... It won't take my new email address and ID... I know when I go to Adobe to my account it does now show all of my older software with my #'s, just the cs4 and cs5 stuff...

    Is it trying to get you to join photoshop.com? The easiest way around that is not to use the welcome screen. Go into the program files and make direct shortcuts for the organizer and/or editor and start PSE that way from now on. Photoshop.com is dead and gone so the welcome screen will hang up trying to connect to something that no longer exists.

  • Help with elements 6

    I purchased photoshop elements 6 in 2008 and have been using without any problems.  Today - the computer tells me the program is having issues - so I tried to reload my original CD and the computer is asking for disc 1 - I only have one disc and it is not recognizing this as disc one.  Is there a direct download so that I may continue using and or making repairs to the program.  I am using Vista.  Please help.  I do have the origianl box with serial numbers.  etc..

    Check this:
    Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
    Though I don't think this will resolve your issue. Sounds more liek you have a more generic issue, possibly because something has changed your system configuration. Cleaning out the previous install using the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility is advisable...

  • Help With Elements 12 Organizer

    I just downloaded Elements 12 and was downloading files to the organizer.  The last file I downloaded is full of duplicates of some of the files I down loaded and dups of many of the files i have yet to download.  I tried to put the folder back but it took all of my single downloaded folders also.  Is there a way to put those pictures back without messing up everything I already did?

    Hi,
    The two applications (organizer & editor) can work independently and only talk to each other when they need to.
    Are you updating from a previous version or is this the first?
    There are (at least) three ways of starting the organizer:-
    1) from the Welcome screen
    2) from the editor - see button at the bottom of the editor window
    3) directly using windows explorer to locate and double click on the following
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    [ignore the (x86) part if on 32bit system]
    Can you get any of those ways to work? Do you get any error message or does nothing happen?
    You could try creating a new catalog to see if that helps.
    Start the organizer (in any of the ways) with the Shift key held down while it loads (if it does). That should bring up the catalog manager
    Click on the New button (top right)
    Give it a name like Dummy or Test and click on OK - that should create & open a blank catalog

  • Help with elements 13 installation

    I just purchased elements 13.  It says I need OS 10.8 or above.  I have 10.7.5.   help please

    download the 64 bit version seems like a logical step.
    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

    The BlackBerry is a small tool that runs on Mobile phones and it supports some minor operations with database as i understand:
    http://www.blackberrysoftware.us/v,c3ltYmlhbjIwOA/blackberry_database_viewer_plusaccessexceloracle.jsp
    Basically the BlackBerry is like "PlSql Developer", "Toad", "Sql Developer" and others Tools that are meant for people to work graphically with databases.
    Al lthose Tools/IDE's are just connecting points to database software like Oracle. Those tools/IDEs connect to database and nothing more, those tools don't send sms-is, emails. You must program into your database software block that will start to send emails if something particular happens that you are interested in. Database events are catched with event handlers which are called "Triggers". So you should go to the event handler (trigger), and program there a block of code that sends out email.
    Can you describe more in detail what events you are interested in? Perhaps very general solutions exist in the market, but if you have specific business logic and need, then i doubt you get the software you need, You must do it yourself.
