What do you mean by "disappeared"?
What were you doing? Any error messages? Can you open the program? Editor? Organizer? Have you installed other programs recently? Do other programs work? Windows or Mac? Are you running an antivirus program?

  • Computer Crashed. How can I get Photoshop Elements 11 back?

    Hi. I had Photoshop Elements 11 activated and was using it quite a bit. But my computer crashed and I ended up losing everything on my hard drive. I still have both serial numbers from my purchase. I was wondering if I can still somehow download Photoshop Elements 11 and activated it with my serial number. Thanks for you help!

    If you registered it with Adobe you can check My Account and get s/n and see if download link exists.  PSE forum is http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements

  • How can I get photoshop elements to open my nef images?

    How can I get photoshop elements to open my nef images?

    The D3200 requires at least ACR 7.1, which isn't compatible with any version of PSE prior to PSE 11, so no, you can't do this directly in PSE 9.
    You could upgrade PSE, use the Nikon software to convert the files and then open the resulting images into PSE for further editing, or download the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEFs to DNG files that your version of PSE can understand.

  • How do you get Photoshop Elements 9 to import from a scanner?

    How do you get Photoshop Elements 9 to import from a scanner?

    In Elements 9, you may need to copy the Adobe TWAIN driver, if your scanner requires it, from the optional plug-ins folder to the Import-Export folder in the main plug-ins folder.
    You will need to copy the plug-in Twain_32.8ba
    Copy from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Optional Plug-Ins\Import-Export
    Copy to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\en_US\Plug-Ins\Import-Export.
    N.B. on Windows 32 bit systems navigate to Program Files. Replace en_US with your own geographic location if necessary.
    On a Mac, go to Applications à Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 à Support Files à Optional Plug- Ins à ImportModules, and move the TWAIN.plugin from there into Applications à Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 à Support Files à Plug-Ins à Import Modules. For the App Store version, go to Applications and Right- click/Control-click Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Editor and choose Show Package Contents à Contents and move TWAIN.plugin from Optional Plug-ins à ImportModules to Plug-ins à ImportModules. N.B. If you see a message warning that plug-ins can't be modified. Click Authenticate and enter your Mac OS X account password -then move the plug-in.

  • How do I get Photoshop Elements 2 off my computer?

    I want to get Photoshop Elements 2 off my Windows XP computer after it began posting this message:
    Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information.  I can't open it anymore.  It does not appear on the Program List off my Start button, nor in the Add/Remove Programs list in Control Panel.  Yet the folder appears with all its files in the Adobe folder inside Program Files.  Archived Tech Note 327575 http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/327/327575.html explains what to do for Elements 3 on a Mac.  What do you do for Elements 2 on a PC?

    Anyway, I can't reinstall PE 2 because it tells me I have an invalid serial number.  We have PE 2 still thriving on another computer, installed from the same disc (which we got with a camera way back when).  We don't have the original case with the serial number, but the About screen in PE 2 lists the serial number.  That is what is rejected when I try to reinstall on my computer.  Ther serial number is twenty digits long, but there is space for another four.  I don't understand the discrepancy.
    The reason for the discrepancy between the about screen and the serial code input block is because the about screen only lists 20 or the 24 digits in the serial code. It omits the last 4 digits as a security feature.
    If you registered PSE 2, you can find the full software serial key in your Adobe account information.
    If you still have PSE 2 installed on one of your windows computers, you can find the four missing digits by using regedit. In the regedit dialog,  Edit<Find...input the 20 digits into search field. (Note: This solution does not work for current versions of Photoshop Elements. If I recall correctly, it only works with PSE 1 and PSE 2.) Make a note of the last four digits displayed which will be your missing numbers. I think in XP, you have to use the RUN dialog to get to regedit. In Vista, you can type regedit into the search bar. For this particular exe file, you have to type in the complete name as Vista will not list it if it's partially typed as it will for other programs.
    Another option if you did not register PSE 2 and still have it installed on one of your computers is to use Belarc Advisor to pull up the serial code. I've never used this but have seen several posts that indicate it works.

  • How can I get Photoshop Elements to import photos that it wrongly indicates are wrong or in catalog?

    Had 17,000 photos on harddrive before installing Photoshop Elements 11 today. Had them well organized in a number of folders under My Pictures. PS found and imported only 467 photos. I tried Search, Browse, and import Files; was able to highlight folders and individual photo files. When I clicked Get Media, it processed for 20 seconds and came back with message that "Files are not in correct format or are already in the catalog." In fact, they are in the correct format (jpg - able to easily view with other programs) and they are NOT visible in the catalog. I went into Control Panel and enabled the Watch service, listed all of the files that PS had not imported from, and still cannot show more than 467 of my photos. Very frustrating, any suggestions? Running Win 7 on 6-months old Sony that plays Blue-Ray, with 8 GB RAM and quad core Intel processors.

    This forum is amazing - thanks to all who responded over the weekend. For future users, some replies I found helpful: 1. allow a lot of time for the cataloging process. I had not realized it would be such a slow and incremental process but a day later it is continuing to add to the catalog - am now up to a couple thousand in the catalog, 2. turning off Organize and Stack visually-similar, and the corrective functions during the initial process speeds things up, 3. go into Control Panel, Administrative, Services and activate the Photoshop Elements watch function as soon as you install Elements, 4. it was helpful to repair/optimize, and 5. if you realize it is really messed up, uninstalling Elements and re-installing may work better than lots of little tweaks and fixes. Now if I can just figure out how to get photos ordered by actual date taken rather than random future dates that my camera or previous version of Elements 8 apparently assigned....

  • How do I get Photoshop Elements 5.0 to activate in computer after clearing out a virus?

    I am attempting to activate my Photoshop Elements 5.0 after having to download it into my computer after a virus.  Program is registered with Adobe, but it refuses to open.  How do I activate the program?

    The picture files are not stored in Elements. They reside on your XP machine wherever you placed them. If you used the organizer in PSEv.3, then you will have to restore the catalog to PSEv.9.
    If organizer is not an issue, then I would uninstall PSEv.3 from your new WIN 7 machine, since it does not function anyway.
    How do you plan to get the picture files and other files to your new computer?

  • How can I get Photoshop Elements 7 for Mac? (Have a license key for Windows from before)

    Hi,
    I have an installation CD for Photoshop Elements that I used on my old PC. I was satisfied and content with that product and as I got a new computer I wanted to use the program there. Here's to my problem:
    I don't have a disk drive on the new computer and can therefore not install the program from disk. Second problem is that when I go online to find the program to download instead I realize that there's no version 7 for Mac, only for Windows if I understand it correctly?
    I don't feel that I want to buy a new version just to get it working on my computer and I'll use iPhoto if it doesn't work to install. It would however be really nice if I would be able to use it.
    Cheers

    There never was a photoshop elements version 7 for mac os, only for windows.

  • How can I get Photoshop Elements 13 to start up in Expert Mode?

    I just upgraded to Photoshop Elements 13 for Windows (I was using Photoshop Elements 12 for Windows), and I can't get it to start up in Expert mode. When I exit in Expert mode and restart, it starts in Expert mode and then after a few seconds it reverts to Quick mode.
    Note that I have tried the recommendation from previous versions of "Reset preferences on next launch" and that didn't help.
    I'm running 64-bit Windows 8.1 and Photoshop Elements version 13.0 (20140831.m.62014) x64, and I've set it to start in the image editor, not in the launch window.
    Thanks for your help.

    Can you try renaming the %APPDATA%\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\13.0 folder and see if it helps.

  • How do I get Photoshop elements 9 to open RAW images from my Canon g16?

    How do I get elemente 9 to open RAW images from Canon G 16?

    Hi,
    You will need either use the Canon software to convert the CR2 files to TIF files or use the free Adobe DNG converter to convert the CR2 files to DNG files. Then import the TIF or DNG files into PSE 9.
    You could update to PSE 12 to avoid the conversions.

  • Computer crashed, how can I get Photoshop Ele. Back?

    My computer crashed last week and I had Photoshop Elements 9 installed on it. It has been quite a few years since I bought the program and I have since lost the disc during the multiple moves I've went through. Is there any way I could redownload it somehow without paying for it again? My computer is basically trash now so there's no real way for me to get the program off or deactivate it.
    Please, any helo you can give would be much appreciated.
