Help with photo collage in Elements 10

I am new to Photoshop Elements 10. I am trying to create a photo collage, but a window pops up saying "Valid size not available for this creation". Can someone help me fix this so I can create??

You can select the layout-horizontal or vertical while choosing a theme for the collage. As you select the theme in Photo collage dialog, it shows the size as x*y inches or y*x inches which decides whether your collage would be portrait or landscape.
Let me know if that helps!

Elements 9 problems with photo collage

I have 4 days to print a photo collage series in PE9! I have watched the video, read how tos & searched forum. Please send help!
I am trying to make a photo collage, 5 on a 8 1/2x11 using the landscape, with white background & simple text. Click the collage button, get a pile on 1 page, go to layout & pick landscape with 5, get portatit with 5. Can't get a plain white background neither. How do I do this? If I try to hard the program crashes. It's only 30 pictures! I did not have this problem in PE8. I am lost & running out of time. What do I do???? CJ

Suggest that you make your own collage, esp. since time is running out. Do the math and determine the size that each of the 5 pictures should be, leave enough room to add text.
Crop each picture to the appropriate size.
Go to File>new>blank file, enter height and width of your document, background white, resolution 300px/in. The resolution of the pictures should be the same.. However, resolution 240-300px/in is probably ok for printing
Open the 5 picture files. Access pict. #1, go to Edit>copy, open the blank file created in step #3, then go to Edit>paste
Repeat for the other pictures. Each will on on its own layer. Use the move tool to position, and resize with the corner handles if necessary.
Using the type tool add text.
TIP: Open the grid to help you to position the pictures. The grid can be configured via Edit>Preferences>Guides and grid. You may want to check "snap to grid" under View>snap to grid

Photo collages in Elements 11

In my previous version of Photoshop (I think 6) I was able to easily create a completely custom photo collage. I've been frustrated in my attempts to do the same in Elements 11. No. 1, how can I get a plain white background? Am I really stuck with the choices the program provides? No. 2, more importantly, how can I resize a photo once I put it on the collage? I used to be able to use the corner arrows to shrink or blow up a photo. I can't even figure out how to get the arrows...

In photoshop Elements 11 and 12, there is an option to create automatic collage using the opened photos in the creation panel. follow the following steps:
open all the images you want to put in the collage
go to create > photo collage.This would lanch a panel to select the collage size for printing.make sure that the option to autofill selected images is checked. Once done, it would automatically fill the images in the collage.
move, resize or reinsert your images as you want. You can choose from different layouts and graphics for collage. If you aren't satisfied with what you get, you can switch to adnaced mode from the button on top left corner of the image and edit the collage like you would do in the expert mode.
Happy Editing

Help with missing files in Elements 3

I am not a computer wizard an dI am trying to catalogue my digital photos. I have almost 2,000 photos in Photoshop elements.All the photos are in the browser and I have created folders for each holiday, wedding, graduation etc. and copied photos into them. Suddenly a lot of the photos have a red rectangle on the bottom of them with a jagged line running diagonally across them which I have now learned means that there is a missing file. I have tried to reconnect the missing file following the help program but nothing happens except the 'torch' searching for the file. I can't do anything with these photos, I can't edit them or print them of copy them to a flash drive as back up. All these photos are precious and I can still see the image in teh browser. Have I lost them?

OK I consider myself severely reprimanded!
Sorry to appear dim but all I have ever done is:
1 open photoshop elements
2. take the card out of my camera
3. put it into my computer.
4. click 'get photos'
5.save photos to my browser
6. create new folders as previously described.
Photoshop Elements toolbar has the camera to 'get photos' so that's what I did, I didn't put them anywhere else first and then copy them into there.
The photos in my browser and the copies in my folders all have the 'missing file' icon so I can't drag the folder one back into the browser it just keeps saying 'missing file'. Plus some photos I haven't copied to folders also show the same icon. Can I say goodbye to my photos or are they there somewhere but I just can't find them? I haven't deleted anything.

Help with Photo Gallery using XML file

I am creating a photo gallery using Spry. I used the Photo Gallery Demo (Photo Gallery Version 2) on the labs.adobe.com website. I was successful in creating my site, and having the layout I want. However I would like to display a caption with each photo that is in the large view.
As this example uses XML, I updated my file to look like this:
<photos id="images">
            <photo path="aff2010_01.jpg" width="263" height="350" thumbpath="aff2010_01.jpg" thumbwidth="56"
               thumbheight="75" pcaption="CaptionHere01"></photo>
            <photo path="aff2010_02.jpg" width="350" height="263" thumbpath="aff2010_02.jpg" thumbwidth="75"
               thumbheight="56" pcaption="CaptionHere02"></photo>
            <photo path="aff2010_03.jpg" width="350" height="263" thumbpath="aff2010_03.jpg" thumbwidth="75"
               thumbheight="56" pcaption="CaptionHere03"></photo>
</photos>
The images when read into the main file (index.asp) show the images in the thumbnail area and display the correct image in the picture pain. Since I added the pcaption field to the XML file, how do I get it to display? The code in my index.html file looks like this:

rest of the code here:
        <div id="previews">
            <div id="controls">

Help with photo albums Please

Hi, i really need some help with my pictures, I've only got a very basic understanding of how my phone works and have somehow put a load of albums on my phone when i plugged it into the computer-I want to delete some of them off the phone but cannot work out how to do it, when i plug my phone in i can find the photo tab but cannot actually see the pictures and can't see any delete button!!! Please can someone help me, basic explanations would be gratefully recieved xxxx

The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. To remove photos, synced to your phone, remove the check marks next to the albums/folders under the photos tab in itunes & hit the apply/sync button. They will be removed from your phone. You cannot delete photos that were synced to your phone, directly on your phone. The easiest way to manage photos synced to your phone is to create albums or folders on your computer. Move whatever photos you want on your phone into these albums/folders & then select them under the photos tab in itunes to sync to your phone. You can then remove or add photos to these various albums/folders on your computer & the itunes sync process will update your phone every time you sync.

Help with upgrading from Photoshop Elements to Lightroom 3

Any tutorials/books/best practices on upgrading from PSE to LR 3? I have thousands and thousands of photos in PSE, and I'm sure the upgrade is not as transparent and smooth as Adobe promotes it to be.
Any suggestion, advice or past experience will be greatly appreciated.

here is a set of instructions on doing what you want.

Import photos from Photoshop Elements

Lightroom detects if your computer has a Photoshop Elements catalog and can import photos and data from the PSE catalog into a new Lightroom catalog. Lightroom imports photos and data from Photoshop Elements 6 and later on Windows. Lightroom imports photos and data from Photoshop Elements 9 on Mac OS.
Note: For help troubleshooting errors or problems when importing PSE catalogs into Lightroom, see the Adobe Support article Lightroom 3 cannot upgrade Photoshop Elements catalogs (cpsid_85517).
In the Library module, choose File > Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog.The Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog dialog box displays the most recently opened Photoshop Elements 6 (PSE6), Photoshop Elements 7 (PSE7), or Photoshop Elements 8 (PSE8), or Photoshop Elements 9 (PSE9) catalog.
To choose a different PSE catalog, click the Photoshop Elements drop-down menu.
To change the destination of the new Lightroom catalog, click Change and navigate to a different folder.

Help with XMLSEQUENCE and repeating elements

I need help with the following XML extraction (note this is on Oracle9i). I have the following XML structure. There are multiple <Reading> elements
<MeterReadings>
<MeterReading>
<Meter>
<id>0004128190</id>
<idType>METER_X_UNIVERSAL_ID</idType>
</Meter>
<Premise>
<id>PREM4128190</id>
<idType>X_CLIENT_PRMSE_ID</idType>
</Premise>
<Reading>
<value>11111</value>
<readingTypeId>CKWH</readingTypeId>
</Reading>
<Reading>
<value>22222</value>
<readingTypeId>KWHP</readingTypeId>
</Reading>
</MeterReading>
</MeterReadings>
I want to return one row for each <reading> element, including all its sub-elements - <value> and <readingTypeId>
So, for the above data set, I would like to get back something like this. The parent elements can be repeated.
<meter/id>,<Premise/id>,<Reading/value>,<Reading/readingTypeId>
0004128190,PREM4128190,11111,CKWH
0004128190,PREM4128190,22222,KWHP
I have tried to use the XMLSequence function like this:
select extractvalue(i.xml_message,'MeterReadings/MeterReading/Meter/id'),
extractvalue(value(p),'value'), extractvalue(value(p),'readingTypeId')
from myTable i,
table(XMLSequence(
extract(i._xml_message, '//Reading/*' ))) p
But then I get results like this, where each sub-element results in a new row:
0004128190     11111     null
0004128190     null     CKWH
0004128190     22222     null
0004128190     null     KWHP
What would be the proper XQuery?
Thanks!

I am trying to make a Landscape photo collage in Elements 11 but Elements crashes.Why???

When I make a Collage in Elements 11 the Portrait mode works ok but when I try to make a Landscape one Elements crashes. Anyone any idea why?

Yes, this was a known bug. In any event, from PSE 11 on, there's really no point at all in using the collage feature to make a collage. Unlike earlier versions of PSE, in recent versions there isn't a single thing you can do with a collage in Create that you can't do more easily in the regular editor by just making a blank file and getting out the graphics panel to add backgrounds, frames, etc.

Help in photo collage

im watching youtube..and everytime i click create ---it doesnt give me the option to select picture size and which pictures to choose.please help

You can select the layout-horizontal or vertical while choosing a theme for the collage. As you select the theme in Photo collage dialog, it shows the size as x*y inches or y*x inches which decides whether your collage would be portrait or landscape.
Let me know if that helps!

Need help with Photo Stream

I am having issues with Photo Stream and iPhoto when the iPhoto library is stored on a Drobo NAS. When I access the library stored on the NAS I see Photo Stream on the menu and when I access the library I get a message that tells me I need to switch Photo Stream to this Library. I did select to switch Photo Stream over to this NAS library and I did get a big blue button that is suppose to start Photo Stream but when I push it nothing happens.
I have contacted Apple support and they said that this is the way Photo Stream works and recommended that I submit a request to have this feature added at Apple\Feedback, if it is something I would like to have. They said if enough people request this feature they will add it but that Photo Stream does not currently support an iPhoto library stored on a remote NAS or shared network drive.
My question is has anyone found a work around for this? If you would like to have this feature added to Photo Stream can you please submit your request to Apple so they will add it, perhaps a little sooner than later?

I checked today and this issue has been solved with the latest iPhoto update from Apple. I am running iPhoto 9.2.3 on my Snow Leopard Server which is sharing a Drobo NAS. I am also running iPhoto 9.2.3 on my MBP running Lion and I can now open my iPhoto Library and Photostream will work with the library and even automatically create events and move all my Photostream pictures into these events within the Library. I can then close the Library on my MBP and open the same Library from my Snow Leopard server and the new Events are there and I can move them around with no problem. Thank you Apple for this fix. Even though I cannot deal with Photostream directly from the Snow Leopard server this is a very eligant work around.

Help with Photo booth

IS there a way that I can turn off the flash that happens when i take pictures with photo booth?
I was also wondering if the camera records video?
Thank you!

Hello Sarah CMac
To disable Photo Booth flash, hold shift while you click.
BTW, holding option disables the seconds countdown. You can use both at once if desired.
Photo Booth 2 that comes with Leopard adds video recording with "effects" and sound. If you do not want to upgrade to Leopard, you can use WebcamTweaker for "effects" videos or any of the apps that can record video or movie clips from this list of Some Applications You Can Use With iSight for video without Photo Booth's "effects."

Need help with Photo Elements 11.0

I own Photo Elements 11.0 but can no longer use it. When I try to open Organizer, I keep getting an error message telling me that my license has expired. If instead I try to open Editor, I get an error message telling me that my pictures Library is not working. WTF is going on??

I have tried this. I downloaded the LicenseRecovery109.zip program and hit “Save.” I then downloaded WinZip. But when I open WinZip and try to find the LicenseRecovery109.zip file, it keeps telling me the file does not exist. Please help. This is ridiculous that I have to go through this for a program I paid for.

Help with Photo Downloader in PE6

Is there any way I can stop downloader shutting down when I download only part of the contents of my camera card? I download to My Pictures on my Pc (using Windows XP) creating folders then verifying and deleting files. As soon as I confirm the deletion the downloader closes and I have to re-open via the icon on the bottom toolbar. I would prefer that the downloader stays open is there any way I can do this? Thanks in anticipation

Having re-read my original post I think it gives the impression I am using Windows XP to download pictures. I am of course using Photoshop Elements' Downloader. It is this program that shuts down after each batch of photos has been downloaded.
Am I the only person with this issue? Am I expecting too much to ask it to stay open for each batch of pictures? Is there anybody out there who can comment?
Help!!!!
