Help with enlarging elements

When I open up a new,  blank 12 x 12  file and put a picture/element on it (for digital scrapbooking) I enlarge it and when I click on the green arrow to OK it, it seems to enlarge it by like 500%. Can anyone tell me why or how to keep it from doing this? Thank you.

Which version of PSE are you using?
I tried this with PSE8. I created a new blank file with the same dimensions as you mentioned and drag and dropped a graphics content over it and clicked ok icon. Nothing happened after then. It remained the same. Am i missing something here?

    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.

  • Help with PS Elements?

    Says my redemption code does not exist. It does. I've entered it 11 times!!!!!! I'm trying to get a serial number for Photoshop Elements.

    Hi,
    Sincerely appreciate your help.  Running Windows 7 on a  Dell XPS420.  System has been very stable for years.  Before purchasing the Epson r2000, I owned an r1800 which was an excellent printer but after seven years started to exhibit paper feed problems.  The r1800 worked with all applications and I was well satisfied with the saturation, contrast, etc. printing mostly 8x10 and 11x17 prints. 
    Thank you for the information about the # of installs for PS E11, will try uninstall/reinstall this morning.
    Will let you know how things go.

  • Help with Photoshop Elements 9 Organizer

    I need some help with my new Photoshop Elements 9 Organizer.
    I have not had previous versions of Photoshop, this was a brand new installation.  I had previously used Kodak software which came with my camera to organize and edit pictures.
    My PC is approximately 6 years old.  I have a 2.2 ghz processor and 1.5 GB of RAM.  I am running Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3.
    The software seemed to install just fine.  I then imported some pictures from my Kodak folders into the Photoshop Organizer.  After importing pictures I then received the following error message:
    'Elements 9 Organizer has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
    If I remove the pictures from the catalog, I no longer get the error message.  As soon as I import any pictures, however, I get the error and the software closes.  When I reopen the organizer I get the same error after after about 15 seconds
    I have tried the following:
    uninstalled an re-installed twice
    turned off the automatic backup to photoshop.com
    I did come across thread 769749 (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/769749) that offered some advice.  Based on that, I optimized my catalog (which was empty), repaired my catalog (which was empty).  I also created a new catalog and removed the existing (empty) catalog.
    All of these efforts have not worked.  Each time I try something, as soon as I import any pictures into the catalog, I get 'Elements 9 Organizer has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
    This is brand new software that I am unable to use.
    Adobe, please help.

    Answers to following queries would help-
    * Are you able to import images into Organizer from folder other than your Kodak folders?
    * Is your problem happening for importing from a specific set of folders only?
    * Is your problematic folder having any video files in it which you are importing into Organizer?

  • Help with Photoshop Elements, I'm new to it?

    So I'm just fiddling around with Photoshop Elements, and I have a picture of a crocodile that I'm trying to turn blue, so I'm using the Smart Brush and Blue Sky effect to change his skin colour.
    Firstly, is there an easier way to change the colour of something that I'm missing?
    Secondly, how do I control the Smart Brush precisely? The thing is his body is about the same colour as the water so when the brush gets to a certain point the entire image turns blue.
    So how do I select the crocodile but not the water?
    Thirdly, the brush. I can draw with the brush, but then I get the "wait" symbol and my changes vanish. How do I stop this?
    Thanks for replies, and I'm sorry for my noobishness, I just got Photoshop Elements yesterday.

    You can make the brush cursor larger & smaller with the bracket keys next to the letter p on the keyboard. This affords more control in making the selection.
    Use of the Smart brush tool is probably the easiest way to colorize an object. The tool has a buit-in mask. If you look on the Layers palette (Window>tick layer), the black and white rectangle represents the mask.
    Left click on the mask, then access the brush tool (the ordinary brush B) and with a black brush paint over the area where the blue spilled over to the water. If you go too far, paint with a white brush to correct.

  • 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!

  • Help with Photoshop Elements 10 after system restore

    Hi I need some help and guidance. I have successfully installed my Photoshop Elements 10 twice now; once on my own; and following a MS Vista System Restore; with the help of Adobe support . I then worked on it for a day and all was well.
    But unbeknown to me at the time, I had a MS System corruption that was causing Boot issues resulting in a forced Restore of my system and both Restores caused the Photoshop elements desk-top shortcut to disappear and a subsequent PSE10 re-install to fail with the dreaded Data7 , and "Application Shared Technologies" and rollback of Orgainizer and Editor etc etc.
    I now realise that the two events were connected and the Adobe Support Person helped me get PSE10 up and running but it involved a lot of file permission changes etc, which lost me in the process, which was done remotely. PS Great customer support!!
    After sorting out my MS Vista problem due to "Corrupt System" files, I now need to get my PSE10 up and running again; but how?
    Regards John

    Have you tried uninstalling and installing again?
    thanks.

  • Help with Photoshop Elements

    Hello all,
    I have a friend who is using Photoshop Elements 3 on a G5 iMac running 10.4.11. After reinstalling the combo updater (she was already on 10.4.11; I was trying to solve some system glitching), Elements stopped working. The File > New, File > Open, and File > Quit menu options are greyed out. Double-clicking on an Elements file doesn't open anything within the program; however, choosing "Open Recent File" works fine.
    I've tried the basic fixes (I deleted all related files from her user's Library > Preferences, I repaired permissions, etc.). The original disks are not available, so reinstallation is not an option. I logged in as another user, and the issue went away, so I know it's within her user folder. The problem is . . . where?
    If anyone has any thoughts, I'd be very appreciative.
    —Hazy

    Hi Hazy,
    Photoshop Elements (along with some other Adobe products) is extremely sensitive to things like where it is on the disk and what the folder it is in is called. I broke my copy by simply renaming its folder once. Another time I broke it by putting its folder into an enclosing folder. I was able to make it work again by putting it all back in the one true place, deleting prefs, etc. like you did. If you're trying to start it up from an alias, that alias might be causing the problem. I had to make a new alias for it in the dock also.
    If you have not done so, you might try shutting down then starting up, as opposed to just restarting. Also empty the trash if the prefs are still in there, after backing them up (or just zip them and put them out of the way). I did all those things when cajoling my copy into working again, but I'm not sure which exact combination of things did the trick.
    Hope this story helps you, even though it's a long shot since you didn't mention making changes in the Applications folder.
    I'm running PE 4 on Tiger.

  • Help with photoshop elements 11

    Hello!
    I'm very new to using photoshop elements 11. I use lightroom4 mainly for all my editing. However at a photoshoot this morning I had to take pictures in snow. I didn't notice it at the time until I uploaded them all onto my computer later. I have a "falling snow"effect in almost all my photos. I'm not used to using the editing tools on elements 11. What would be the best way to remove the falling snow from my photos?
    Thank you for your help!

    You can use host of tools but the best way I remember is to use Spot healing tool with content aware option selected in options and click on the areas. It would fill the areas with surrounding and would remove those marks. The otehr way could be to use clone tool.
    Alt click and select an area which you would want to have on these snow marks and click on snow marks.
    The link below should help you http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/retouching-repairing-images.html
    Let me know if you see any issues.

  • Help with Photoshop Elements 8 - how to begin?

    Hello there,
    After calling Adobe for help, I was told since the software I have is outdated I'd be charged to even ask a question and was directed to the forum...
    So, I installed Photoshop Elements 8 on my new computer. When I open it, the welcome screen opens up. You know, the screen that has "Organize" and "Edit" on it. Well I have two questions...
    1) When I click on either organize OR edit, nothing happens...the box completely closes and nothing pops up....even after waiting, and trying multiple times over and over again. Maybe there is just something I am just not getting. I am VERY new to photoshop.
    2) How do I access ALL of the photos that I have in my back-up storage?
    Thank you, thank you, thank you in advance!

    Try making a direct desktop icon for each application. Instructions are for PSE9 on Windows but should be similar for PSE8. 
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    Inside the Adobe >> Photoshop Elements Organizer (yellow folder) you are looking for an application file “PhotoshopEementsOrganizer” with six small icons (e.g. representing thumbnails)
    Select it and click OK
    Click next
    Rename by taking out Photoshop Elements leaving just the word Organizer
    Then click finish
    You should now be able to launch directly form the desktop by double clicking on the icon.
    You can set up a similar direct link to the Editor application (.exe file which has the blue PSE icon). As before take out Photoshop Elements just leaving the description Editor and it will show up clearly on the desktop.

  • Help with photoshop elements 8

    I was editing and organizing my photos this afternoon, and now when I click on the icon, it comes up, I click on organize and it disappears.  Is it an activation problem? Is it a registration problem?  I am registered, I have two computers with the program on it--is that the problem?  I seriously need some help, as I can't even access my photos, and this is my business.

    Thank you for your assistance.  I am reassured now that at least I have not lost all my work.  I guess I need to purchase a new back-up for this computer.  I think I have picked up a virus somewhere and it is affecting photoshop, among other things.  So I guess it is also time to get in touch with my local expert.  I do really appreciate your help, I was afraid that I am the only one still working with elements 8.  Especially since the on-line tech person I contacted this afternoon refused to help me because ‘it’s too old’.  I could probably say the same about myself, since I seem to be less knowledgeable about computers than I was 20 years ago!  Again, thanks for your help.

  • Need Help with Photoshop elements 5.0

    I know that this is a very old version of photoshop elements, but I would still like to use it, since I paid $100.00 for it.  The problem is that it hasn't been installed onto my computer for awhile and now when I go to install it I get an error msg. each time. The msg is (C: Program Files\Adobe\EspionAlbum.dll. Verify that the file exist and that you can access it)!!
    I have gone to the program files and into adobe and the Espion file is there!  I have also called adobe technical support and they will not help me because it is such an outdated version.  I am really aggrivated with adobe support and would really appreciate any help that anyone might be able to offer!  Also, go slow, I am not a computer wiz, for sure!  Thank you!

    Okay...sorry...it is Windows XP Version 5.1  Does this clarify for everyone?  I assumed that most people would get that much once I saw that I left out the XP in the original post!
    Now that is out of the way...is it possible for anyone to help me with the problem at hand?  Can anyone tell me if I can run Elements 5.0 on Windows XP or are they not compatible?  If it should run, then please go back and read the original post so that you will see the issue that I am having!  Thanks so much!
