Help with PSE 7

I have downloaded camera raw 5.2 update to my computer. I can not install it into PSE 7. Just a beginner and need help. Thank you, Jay

Hi Jay
I would suggest you get Adobe Camera Raw 5.6 which is the latest plug-in compatible with PSE7.
First you will need to exit Photoshop Elements.
To get the plug-in for PSE7 go to the link below - instructions are for Windows users.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4626&fileID=4303
Instructions:
Delete or move the existing Camera Raw 8bi file (see below) from the File Formats Folder before starting.
Click and download the plug-in from the above link (it says PSE8 but will work with PSE7 also)
Open the zip folder you just downloaded and click Extract Files.
You should see the plug-in file you need. The plug in has a file name: Camera Raw.8bi
Now drag the plug-in file (or copy it) into the File Formats folder in the following location:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 7\File Formats\
If you are using a 64-bit edition of Windows, move and install the plug-in file by navigating to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 7\File Formats\
N.B. Before you start the download you need to do some preparation. Navigate to the File Formats File and move Camera Raw.8bi I suggest you move it from the File Formats folder to My Documents or drag it to the desktop before you begin. This will prevent it being overwritten by the new Camera Raw file (it will have the same name) and you can always move it back again if the download installation fails.

Needing help with PSE 6.0 on Mac

Hi guys!
        around a year ago, I bought PSE EIGHT. I found out my computer is to old for it, so it's sitting on my shelf looking lonely. So, I bought PSE 6.0 for 20 dollars from some awesome guy on Craigslist.
            IT REALLY ROCKS!!!!!! I've had pse 6 for about 4 months, do a LOT of photography and editing. After a month, I finally succeeded in installing Actions... or I installed one action.
          Does anybody on here do actions? What are some good free actions?
          Also, can anybody give me a bunch of links to helpful video tutorials on basic editing, and advanced editing? Thanks!!

Go to Adobe Exchange. You will find thousands of actions, many free and some that work with elements.

Help with PSE Downloader

Help...my Get Photos button is down too low. It is below my lower tool bar. I have tried everything, including open full screen, reduce and try to shrink the size of the window, drag the reduced window higher..none work.
I have close my lower tool bar.. move the window up to where the top strip of it is under the upper tool bar and then I can get to my button. It has not always been this way..I think it started after I enlarged my display once for something I was working on and now it won't work properly.
Like I said, I can make it work, but it a royal pain to do. Any ideas?

You don't say which version of PSE. But if you have 6 or 7, try reseting the Organizer's preferences (which save various window positions):

I can't tell if my previous messages came thru, but I need help with PSE 7.0. I can't use my drop shadow brush set anymore.

I am not sure if any of my previous messages went thru or not, but I have Photoshop Elements 7.0. I learned how to open a blank file and use a textbox to make my watermark and also my copyright logo and save them each as a brush. They were saved in the Drop Shadow Brushes. When I used my cloning stamp yesterday, I switched brushes to basic. When I later attempted to go back into the drop shadow brush set where I had saved the watermark and copyright logo, a message came up telling me the file couldnot be opened because it wasnot compatible with this version of Photoshop. I presume it is because of the special brushes saved there. What do I do now?

Need Help with PSE 5.0

I re-installed PSE 5.0 (VISTA Home Edition) and at the completion of the installation I receive a "Successful Install" message.
However, when attempting to open the program... it is taking over 20 minutes and never opens.
I have removed and reinstalled the software twice. Note: I temporarily disabled my antivirus, antispyware and firewall in order to facilitate the installation.
Can someone make some suggestions?
Richard

I think you need the 5.02 update to run PSE5 in Vista :

Printing with PSE 8 for Mac

Hi,
hope some of you may give me some help.
Have tried to print with PSE 8 for Mac, but in the printing options there is none where i can choose the type of paper (ie: glossy, premium glossy....).
My printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400.
It works fine with iPhoto, here i can choose paper type. And prints come out fine.
Thanks for any advice,
dangerly

My printer is a Canon so not entirely sure if this helps but when I print from PSE 8 I do not get to choose the media type until I have clicked on the print button in the PSE dialog box. I am then presented with the dialog box for my printer where I can set the media type amongs other attributes.
It is normal for the media type to be the job of the printer driver so perhaps it is the same for your printer.

Need help with color management

I am looking for someone to help me. Please!
I am looking for help with Photoshop/printer not printing correct colors.
I have: Windows 7, Photoshop CS5, Photoshop Elements, HP Pavillion Laptop, new Okidata C530dn color laser printer
Previously I had a Canon Pixma MP620 and a gentleman from another forum gave me the correct settings for printing on photo paper and colors were perfect. I now have a OKIdata C530dn color laser and have started a business printing business cards and greeting cards, etc., and I do advertisements on a freelance basis.
I will be working a lot with cardstock or cover stock 65-110 lbs paper. I have an old OKIdata 2024e at work, and the colors are much better with that printer than my new personal one. I have tried matching the settings of that printer to mine to no avail. I have finally gotten the color close, but not quite. When I print on my Canon injet the colors match and print perfectly.
I have tried every setting variation that I can think of to get the color correct with my new OKIdata. I have to get the colors correct or my new business will go under because I can't match colors for my customers. I am a self taught Photoshoper and a novice so please bear with me.
Using Okidata PCL. Also have PS

I have gotten the color close, but colors are dull. I have tried an adjustment layer and setting the saturation higher, but that doesn't help. I know my laptop is showing the right colors, (calibrated) because I am still printing to the Canon with cardstock and the colors are perfect using the same settings above.
Tried printing in PSE and it gave me an error that it was not a post script printer. Installed ps driver, still getting errors and it wouldn't print.
I would appreciate any help you could give me before I run out of toner and have to buy the expensive toners, or just slit my wrists j/k LOL
Thanks! JS

You need an ICC profile for your printer. Chromix has an excellent service at http://www2.chromix.com/colorvalet/ which will do this calibration for you. You download some software they provide, then print a test file on the exact same paper you are using for your cards. Then send the output to them and they will calibrate the colors with their equipment and send you the ICC profile file. Once you have it, you'll be able to print accurate colors.
There are other services out there that may cost less, but I do not know how reputable they are. Chromix is a good business I've worked with many times.
If you are trying to run a business and you don't understand color management yet, you may be in for a lot of trouble. Please get the book "Real World Color Management" available at http://www.colorremedies.com/realworldcolor/ and it will save you a ton of money and headaches.

ACR 5.7 not compatible with PSE 6 or 7

Though the recently released ACR 5.7 works with PSE 8, it is not compatible with PSE 6 or 7. A number of people (including me) have observed that if you try to open a raw file in 6 or 7 you get:
Unable to use the Camera Raw plug-in. It is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements.
The accompanying documentation is an inconsistent mess about which versions are supported, variously implying that it works with 6 or later, 7 or later, or just 8:

I agree with John, there is certainly a mess and confusion
over the use of ACR 5.7 with PSE 7. I have tried to upgrade and got various error messages including the version incompatibility one. I did try both the 32 and 64 bit versions since I am running Windows 7 64 bit. However I have now reached a slightly different opinion since I am still able to open Raw files from my Canon G10 (which previously worked with 5.6) but cannot open my EOS 550D Raw files which suggests a specific code problem rather than a version incompatibility. Any comments or help Adobe?

Help on PSE 11 please. In simple, non-tech English.

I am on a 1-month trial with PSE 11 and can not get my scanner to appear in the Import box, the only available selection being "WIA Support". Searching for help in Adobe Exchange I found the following:
We strongly advise you use WIA Support for your device if available. If your device does not support WIA drivers then we recommend you try updating your TWAIN driver. To install the legacy TWAIN plug-in:
Copy the Import-Export folder from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\Optional Plug-ins\
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe Photoshop Elements 11\Plug-ins\
Can anyone tell me why Adobe "strongly" advises using Windows drivers and how, step-by-step, I carry out the above instructions to install TWAIN?
A rickshaw full of thank-yous.
Peter Hewitt

If you go to:
(before doing the below, make sure pse 11 is not running)
(this on a windows 7 machine, but should work on windows 8 as well)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11
in that folder you should see a folder named Optional Plug-Ins and another named Plug-Ins
Double click on the folder Optional Plug-Ins, right click on the folder that says Import-Export and click on Copy
Go back and double click on the folder that says Plug-Ins, right click in an empty space and press Paste
With any luck you see your scanner on the import menu in pse 11

Problems with PSE 11 and Filter Forge

Is anyone else having problems launching Filter Forge from PSE 11? It used to work, but now freezes after a very partial load. FF still works with PSE 9, and yes, I have the latest version of PSE 11 installed on a 64-bit version of Win 7 Pro.

I did not use the trial version of PSE 7 but installed directly from a purchased CD. The "registration" option under the help menu of the editor is not highlighted and there is no option to deactivate the serial number under help in either the editor or the organizer. Therefore I must assume that Ankush is correct that there is nothing that I need to do prior to uninstalling PSE 7.
Also, am I correct to assume that since this original post was marked as a discussion and not a question, I do not need to close it in any way?
Thanks to all who have responded and offered assistance.

Certificate with PSE type SystemPSE has been invalid for 9 days

Hi,
I am seeing the above message in my ERP system transaction SM21 along with Validity of certificate from list with PSE type >SystemPSE< ends in 5 days message.
I have seen several notes and SDN threads on this and have replaced the PSE etc. However, when I download a new verify.der file from the Portal, it still shows a valid to date of September 29, 2007.
How do I change the valid to date to something other than what has already expired?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Rick

Hi

Help with Organizer

I'm on a Mac. I made a "Master Image File" on my hard drive. I put folders of raw images into the "Master" folder.
I have chosen to view by folders. But - I see less than the total number of images in the folders.
For example from one image folder: I get a message at the bottom that 11 are displayed and that 38 are not shown. Where are they and how do I see them????
I tried to delete the folder and rebuild it from another hard drive -- now organizer keeps showing me the folder that I deleted.
Why can I not just see the folders and the images that are in them? If I open the folder on my hard drive - all the images are there. Why cannot Organizer find and display them?
Oh, how I miss Bridge. I hate organizer! it is a bunch of "cute tricks" for finding faces - and a link to sites to order prints. It is not a real help to serious photographers and it just gets in the way.
Please, please, please bring back Bridge to the Mac for PSE 9.

>Organizer wasn't designed to perform this task.
And that is my point. Bridge does that. I want it back - or to find a substitute that I can recommend. It worked great for PSE 8.0. It also works great for PS CS5. In my studio I have 30 TB of external storage - on 15 eSATA hard drives. I have tens (maybe hundreds) of thousands of images organized by folders with customer/event plus date as the title. The files go back to 1998. Bridge can display the contents of any drive or any folder on any drive. Spotlight (built into the Mac OS) can pull up any image number or a name on a folder or image - I don't need another program to do that. Each folder has sub folders with the RAW, TIFF and JPG versions of the images.
In my classroom I use PSE to teach digital photography. I want to concentrate on PSE - but my students and I spend way too much time trying to find images hidden away in Organizer. They buy books on PSE - and half of the book is devoted to Organizer.
I advise my students to build a simple system of folders and download images into those folders - independent of a "photo" program. Then, they can back up the whole master folder to a second drive (time machine does it automatically on a Mac). My advice is to NOT give the download task to Organizer, or to iPhoto, or to any Program that came with the camera or the computer. 5 years from now all of them will have new computers and will be using a new photo program - I know for certain that, then, they will all be able to open images stored in simple folders. Ever try to help someone open images with PSE that were stored away by an old iPhoto program on an old Mac? Where are my images?
I am about to give up. I'll use PSE 9.0 for teaching - but I'll use the "open" function from PSE to go to the images. If I want to demonstrate how to apply Adobe Camera Raw to a JPG image, I have to do that anyway. I have not found a way to open a JPG image directly with ACR from organizer ----
Do I dare say it again ???? I hate Organizer. Please sell me a version of Bridge for PSE 9.0.
Why is that so hard ????????

Cannot open Contact Sheet II on my Elements 12, gives me error message. Can anyone help with this?

In Elements 12, I cannot open Contact Sheet II. I keep getting an error message. Can anyone help with this?

That's a different file.
Try this:
1. Click on your desktop
2. Then in the Go menu click on Go To Folder
3. Paste the following line in the Go To Folder dialog and press Go
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Plugins/Adobe Contact Sheet II PSE12/Elements
4. That should open a finder window something like below.
Drag the Adobe Contact Sheet PSE12 Prefs to the Trash on the dock
5. Start the pse 12 editor and see the contact sheet II works.

How Do I Free-hand Cut an Object Out of a Pic With PSE 8?

I want to completely free-hand cut a horse out of one pic and then save it into another pic with a different background. I can't figure out how to do this with PSE 8. It is my first time using this program. The only picture editing program I have used before was Microsoft Picture It (v.7 from 2003 I believe), and it had a cool multi-selection cutout tool that included free-hand cutting. It worked perfectly for my needs, so I'm pretty frusterated that I can't seem to figure out how to do the same thing now that I have PSE 8. Can anyone advise me on this please? I'd sure appreciate the help. Thanks!

You need to select the horse. Use one of the selection tools. In PEv.8 there is the magic extractor (Image>magic extractor), and also the selection brush, which I find works very well. The lasso tools should also work well for you. Once you have selected the horse, you can copy/paste it to your new background.
If you post the picture, either here, or at www.pixentral.com (provide the URL so that we can access it), we can provide detailed step-by-step guidance.
