Hi anyone out there that knows Adobe Photoshop Elements (?

Is anyone available to answer a question for Adobe Photoshop Elements 9?

I have no idea, Peru.
I am just starting this Photoshop Elements.  A Christmas gift.  Just installed today and playing around trying to combine two Christmas photos.  Our family photo is missing one of our granddaughters.  So I took a picture of her by herself and am trying to cut and paste her into the family photo.  I thought if I used the removal brush to delete the background around her and used the protection brush to capture her, then I could drag and drop her into the spot on the family photo.  I get as far as drawing the green (protection) shade on her and the red (removal) shade all around her but when I pull the handle it just goes back to original.  I have no idea how to put this in Expert Mode.  I went back and looked all around to find a button for that but couldn't.  I am not familiar enough yet to know about layers.  I can't get anyone from the company to chat with me so I appreciate you responding.  What I don't understand is that I am trying my best to go by
the learning and guide tutorials but they are not working like the examples.....which is to go into Guided, recompose photo, mark it in the green and red and then pull the "handle" to the right.  But when I do that, all it does is stretch my photo and the green and red shades just go away.  So frustrating !!
So anyway, I appreciate your help.  I really, really do.  But if you don't have time to deal with it, I understand.

  • Hi there! yesterday I installed Mavericks on my Macbook. Since then, it doesn't mount my external hard disk drive anymore, which he did a week ago (without the update). Is there anyone out there who knows a solution?

    Hi there! Yesterday, I installed Mavericks on my Macbook. Since then, it doesn't recognize my external hard disk drive anymore (at least not on the desktop. In Germany they call it "it doens't mount it". I don't know if it's the same expression in english?)
    I just used it a week ago, before I did the update and it worked perfectly fine.
    Is there anyone out there who knows a solution for this problem? I've been googleing for hours now and can't find any answer.
    Thank you!!!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    I've been researching threads from as far back as 2005 and apparently this problem has been going on unsolved for some time. When some phones (mine is an N96, but i've read all  different Nokia models experiencing the same problem) are either reset or upgraded (in my case it was a reset) they develop the problem of not being able to download jar files. The file will look like it's loading but only makes it to about 3/4's of the way before a "cannot install this file" message appears. It takes about 15 to 20 seconds before the loading bar disappears and the message appears, but during the wait, the phone is crippled. Resetting the phone with soft or hard reset does nothing to solve the problem, I even tried the 3 finger reset and nada! Possibly, some file or files that allows the unit to download the jar files is missing, because of the reset. It has nothing at all to do with the files to be downloaded.It is in  the phone. Someone out there has got to know if there is a file or whatever that can be reinstalled into the phone to reestablish jar file downloads again! There has to be a tech out there that knows exactly what files are responsible for giving Nokia phones the ability to download jar files.       JL2

    No prob.  Ok! This is the answer that Nokia technical sent me. I just want to say that this is bull*h*t, because before I reset my phone I downloaded and used Jar only downloads. Trapster is one I lost. Also if you go on line you will read many people with s60 models experiencing the same thing . Anyway, here it is.                                 [ I understand that you are unable to install .jar files on your Nokia N96 phone.
    Rick, we manufacture different phones with different platform. Our earlier phones were S40 (Series 40) phone. Those phoneS supported .jar files or applications.
    However, our smart phones S60 (Series 60) such as your Nokia N96 phone are compatible with .sis files or application. Due to the robustness, and compression capability of .sis format for S60 platform, we have no plans to revert to the old .jar platform for S60 phones.
    Sis format allows us to add a wide range of features that are not available in the S40 .jar platform.
    I hope this information helps clarify any misconception.]       I GUESS I'LL NEVER FIND THE ANSWER!!

    The other Allan is being facetious--you somehow found the forum for pre-2006 eMac desktop computers that gets little traffic.

  • I just got a new ipone5c and i can't get the light to go out unless I turn it off. Have tried all the things I read anyone out there that can help me??

    I just got a new iphone 5c this is my first smart phone. I have an Ipad so thought it would be easy.
    I downloaded the new software don't know if this changed anything. I have only had phone for 4 days
    but now the light won't shut off. I have to turn off the phone for it to go out. I did the holding down home
    button and start button till apple shows up. I checked to make sure the LED flash for alerts button was off.
    I don't know what else to do. Anyone out there have the same problem and have found an answer.
    Thank you!

    After powering the iPhone off and on, the light goes out but turns back on randomly or immediately after powering the iPhone on?
    Since nothing else you have tried has resolved it, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup first.
    If no change after that, try restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
    If no change after that, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
    Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

  • Is anyone else having issues with Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 since upgrading to Yosemite?

    this is a common issue, greatly discussed on the Adobe forums.  I was hoping that someone in the Apple community might have some information on this.  Basically, since updating my macbook pro to Yosemite, Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and 12 do not work - they freeze or several tools do not work.  someone suggested a workaround - to use a mouse instead of the trackpad.  Contact with Adobe has resulted in nothing - they will not own the problem.  Several people have contacted Apple tech support - they will also not own the problem.  Anyone have any solutions or suggestions.  Adobe's answer was to purchase their new version of PSE!!

    Looking at the Yosemite forum, it is obvious that this is a very common issue.  You might want to post in that forum for help and advice.

  • Is there anyone out there that NEVER gets system overload errors?

    If so, what hardware do you have. I'm thinking of upgrading to a new iMac so I can record in peace (no overload errors). Can you please share your GOOD experiences. Is there hope?
    Thanks

    What format(s) do you work in?  What length of project?  Do you output to AC3?  I have no problems with AME for short projects or to output the same size/format -- for instance, I can usually output full HD for Blu-Ray but experience lots of crashes if scaling down to SD for DVD.  The crashes also occur above certain lengths, usually 20 min +.  With audio, I can output 5.1 uncompressed WAV in the same format (for instance, 16 bit) but if I try to output 24 bit (which AME is supposed to be able to do) I get "Encoding Failed - Unknown error."  In fact the error log is ALL that very helpful message, always when transcoding to another format/bit depth/size.  When outputting 5.1 to AC3, AME freezes up and fails at around 20 minutes.
    Our systems are very silimar -- the current system is i7 proc with 6gb ddr3 ram on a gygabite GA-EX58-UD3R.
    A have not had any huge issues really with AME for short videos or output to FLV for web.
    But the workflow I use is something that CS4 is SUPPOSED to be able to do.  And the very unusual issue is that I have seen posts about the same type of errors (with ImportProcessServer etc) on Macs as well.

  • TS1468 I am having trouble with two cover flows duplicating themselves more than once, is there anyone out there that can help me with this, they are not duplicated in my itunes library, just the ipod.

    I am having trouble with two cover flows on my IPOD, duplicating themselves more than once, they haven't duplicated themselves in my Itunes library, just the ipod, could anyone have any ideas on how I could fix this problem. I have tried so many times, even if I restore the ipod, it still does the same thing. Please if possible email me at [email protected] with any suggestions.

    Aha! I have sorted it.
    For those with similar problems, the solution is this:
    Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > MIDI Drivers
    Then delete DigiDioMidiDriver.plugin

  • Is anyone out there that can help me?  Questions about connecting to new PC

    I had to replace my PC & do not have a backup for my phone.  I have copied photos to flashdrive to put on new one, but not sure what to do about contacts.  I have looked around the discussions & did the transfer purchases from iphone, so hopefully that will take care of things bought on the phone.  Someone discussed how to create a backup, by right clicking under device.  If I do this to my phone before I sync with the new computer, will I be able to create a backup that I can use to salvage all the info on my phone that I can't drag & store on my own?  Or will this delete all of my phone information, just like syncing with the new computer will?  I appreciate all of the anticipated help, this is not my forte!
    I posted last night, but no help............hoping it was just bad timing......

    Okay!  I have been dipping in the pool a toe at a time.  I backed up the phone, never could find it in my files, but whatever.  I synced notes, calendar & contacts, one at a time & everything copied to my PC.  Now, I have to move on to the real world & get things done.  But will attempt later to salvage music & ringtones.  If you have any advice.....
    Thanks for all of your help & support!!

  • If i sign out (go offline) in Adobe Photoshop Elements, a screen tells me the software will be deactivated.

    Does this mean I lose functionality when I work offline? But I made a onetime purchase and the software took about 2 hours to download..

    Should have mentioned that the only downside to keeping PSE offline is that a lot of the content in the graphics panel must be downloaded the first time you use it, so you would lose access to that on an offline machine. Once you download it you can use it offline, though. It's too bad there isn't a 'get it all' button.

    As I said in your other thread, PSE 4 has not been compatible with OS X since around 10.4. It will not install in 10.8. PSE 6 is the oldest version you can use. PSE 4 is a PPC application and 10.8 requires intel software.
