How do I open and use Photoshop Elements 12?

How Do I Open and use Photoshop Elements 12? I've just purchased it and can't find a way to open and use the program.

Mac or Windows?
Have you actually installed it, or just downloaded your purchased copy? If just downloaded then you need to double-click the downloaded file from wherever you saved it to. This will run the installer and ask you to enter your serial number (which you should NEVER post in a public forum such as this).
If you have installed it, and if you're using Windows, it should have placed shortcuts on the desktop. But if not click Start and type 'photo' without the quotes and you should see an entry for PSE.

  • How do you overcome problems using Photoshop Elements with Win 7 and Eyefinity display?

    I have a 3 screen Eyefinity setup on a PC running 64bit Win 7 with 16gb RAM and an AMD Radeon 7950 graphics card and Phenom II x4 processor.
    I struggle to get a stable PSE10 to work on this setup.
    I bought a combined set of Photoshop and Premier Elements 10 and although installed it always crashed when I saved images with the error message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 has stopped working". I recently did a fresh install of Windows 7 and decided I had to solve the Photoshop problem.
    I installed Premier 64 bit version from disk 2 and Photoshop Elements from disk 1 and then ran compatability checker. Under compatability settings for Win XP srv pack 3 it starts although with some toolbar errors and top and bottom of screen transparent instead of solid. I can save files worked on but then still get the error when I exit Photoshop Elements.
    Has anyone had similar and solved the problem? Tech Support said my s/w was too old and unsupported without a service contract.

    There should be no need for compatibility mode; pse10 is designed to run on W7. Try making a direct shortcut for the Editor. You can then launch the program directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
    To launch, try right-clicking on the new desktop icon and choose “Run As Administrator” which often improves stability.

  • How do i open photos in photoshop elements 9

    I have loaded Photoshop Elements 9 on my MacBook Pro and cannot open photos. I also have IPhoto running

    The following is how to use PSE from within iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.  3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu).  This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • How do I install and use Photoshop actions

    I downloaded a zipped file with actions.  I've left the file zipped until I learn how to install the actions in Photoshop CC.  Any help will be appreciated.

    The Advanced menu item was removed by Adobe in Acrobat X. Don't know what a plug-in would do. It probably needs an update.
    It's very optimistic to think a plug-in written for one version of Acrobat will run without issues in a future version. The issues aren't usually big, but there's more often something than not.

  • How Can I Open and Use Excel Spreadsheets on my Mac?

    I am trying to find out how to work with Excel (.xls) files on my Mac.  I have the latest updates on my OS but my Numbers is about 3 yrs old.
    I am able to work with the file on the Forum website, make adjustments.. but that is discouraged.  The owners encourage me to copy the .xls file to my computer and work with it there and finally submit it for critique.
    When I copy the file to the Mac, it seems to come in as a Numbers file.. at least that's what it is when I open it.  When I work with cells, none of the algorithms work.. IOW, nothing changes with the results.
    What have I tried..?
    I have put Open Office on the computer.  That supports Excel files.  But I guess my old mind doesn't know how to "import?" the .xls file on my desktop into OO.  So, I have not been able to make changes.  Possibly I am not seeing what needs to be done.
    I have also clicked on the file icon. Right clicked on it and selected "Get Info" and said to open the file in Open Office.  Nothing happened when I actually tried to open that file.
    I'm at a loss and this is pretty important.
    I'm quite surprised that Numbers doesn't seem to allow working with .xls files  I'm hoping I'm missing something

    Thanks for the rapid replies...
    I have NO problem opening the files.  As I stated in my OP, it is all about WORKING with the file.  IOW, this is a file to help me brew beer with changes in equipment size/configuration.. or simply changing a recipe.
    When I change the size of my brew kettle, the algorithms should modify parameters in different places to modify how much water I would have to use, how much boil off I should expect.. etc etc.  Or if I want to modify the batch size of the brew from 20 gallons to 5 gallons.. when I imput that data, the recipe should change accordingly.  When I do this on the forum site.. it works.  When I import it the algorithms don't change the numbers.
    What I get when I open the file, even as suggested by 'kkaufmann87" is that
    "Unsupported formulas were replaced by the last calculated value".... which were the values I had when I copied the file to my computer.
    Kolgrath.  This question was suggested by another person on that beer forum.. and Google Docs will not work either.

  • How do I open and use a large table from Word in Pages?

    I upgraded my MBP from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion a couple days ago.  I knew that my old Word application wouldn't work, but several Apple people assured me that Pages could handle my old docs, including tables.
    So, I purchased and installed Pages '09 this morning.  I opened the table I use all the time - - and most of it is missing!  Apparently, Pages doesn't handle large tables.
    I need help - desperately!  This table contains all my medical expenses for the year, so I have to have it.
    Thanks

    J,
    Besides needing to have your Table Object Floating, you should know that the maximum number of rows in Pages Tables is 999.
    If you continue to have problems opening your Word document and its table in Pages, try one of the free Office Clones, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, IBM Lotus Symphony, etc.
    I'd bet that at least one of those free apps will work if Pages doesn't. By the way, have you tried viewing your Word document in Quick Look? To do that, click on the filename in Finder and hit the Spacebar key. You won't be able to do anything but view the document in Quick Look, but it would give you confidence that your file is OK.

    what is the difference between CS5 and CS6?

    The Subject line is for a brief summary of your question. Use the message area for the details.
    The difference is that you can buy CS6, but not CS5. It is no longer supported. CS6 allows you to use the latest Adobe Camera Raw software, CS5 does not.
    Click on this link: https://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_ creativesuite6.html?start=10
    Choose "buy" and specify Full or upgrade.
    Click on Select.
    That will take you to the Checkout.
    Click on "edit" if you want a Mac version or another language.
    One you finish the purchase, you will be emailed the license key and the download link for the software.

  • I am having problems installing and using Photoshop Elements 4.0 onto my Windows 7 computer.

    is there something I can download so it works? Thanks.

    It may be worth purchasing the PSE10 upgrade if old software is showing no signs of life.
