How do I stop Photoshop Elements 12 from adding a caption to my image?

How do I stop Photoshop Elements 12 Editor from adding a caption to my image? It is automatically adding the name of my camera (as a caption) to the file any time I make a change in the Editor. Then I have to manually delete them.

That's not Elements which writes the Camera model in the exif, that's your camera. It's a common complaint with Olympus.
Solution (edited)
Use the 'Find' menu to select the files starting with the offending caption (Olympus, for instance). Highlight all selected files and right click; select the option to add a caption; leave the caption blank and click enter; you'll be prompted if you want to delete the captions : you do.

How do I stop Photoshop elements 13 from crashing?

I just installed elements 13 and it upgraded my catalog just fine. Once I was in I started tagging pictures and then I paused. It crashed.
Now whenever I pause for about 30 seconds it crashes.
I have looked at many articles and have not found anything that worked. Can someone help me?

To answer your question directly [ How do I stop Photoshop elements 13 from crashing? ] , the only way I can think of is to reset your preferences file. The method in PSE13 must be the same as in 10 and 11 and it is as shown in this thread:
<can't get pse10 to take my styles, have had pse 10 since 2011 bought pse13 and installed, uninstalled pse10 inorder to get pse13 to install easer, I reinstalled pse10 but now the stules I have do not appear in the effect section. I have checked BOTh secti>
Read post # 3 and see if it works in PSE13.
Good luck and post back whether or not it worked.

How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing.

How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing. I went through the process of clicking through the how to's and the troubleshooting and came to the conclusion that I need to install the adobe drive 5 but I can not complete the installation. I may be incorrect on this so I need immediate assistance as I have poster and ad deadlines. I also tried disabling the gatekeeper and solution 3 on the troubleshooting of slow saving on photoshop.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you!

Are you attempting to save the file to a network location instead of your local hard drive? If so, this is probably why you are encountering an issue and why Adobe Drive would be the solution. As we've documented, it is a bad idea to open from or save directly to a network source: Networks, removable media | Photoshop | CS4 and later. Drive can help you get around this by setting up an Adobe supported virtual connection to the network. Thus, if installing Adobe Drive is the solution you need and your need help with installing Drive, please post to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
If you are not saving to a network location, then Adobe Drive is not going to be the answer. Then we'll need to know more about the file you are saving.

How to completely delete Photoshop Elements from my computer??

Hi
I am trying to completely remove Photoshop Elements from my computer.   So far, I have failed in my attempts to do this.   The reason I'm doing this is b/c for some reason that I can't fathom, the folders in My Pictures -- the folders named by shot date -- contain random duplicates.When this happens, the file names folow the convention of DSC_0222 and DSC_0222-1. Exactly the same file size and metadata. In some folders, every picture is duplicated. In other folders, only selected pitcures within the folder are duplicated.   I can't figure out how they got there -- e.g. it doesn't seem to bear any connection to the photos I've edited, which was one theory I had for a while.   Is Elements responsible? Or is this some sort of bug in the download process from the camera (I have a Nikon D40). Anyway, I've given up on trying to sovle this problem and decided I would go back to the beginning and reload everything from my camera.   So, my real question here is about how to completely uninstall Elements.
Here's what I did:    I uninstalled Photoshop Elements through the Add/remove programs utility. I got no errors during the uninstall process.   Then I completely deleted the My Pictures directory (don't worry -- I have it backed up in multiple places!!).   So, at this point there are *no* pictures on my computer at all.    I reinstall Elements, open it up and -- you guessed it!!! -- the catalog is still there with all the thumbnails of the pictures that i deleted from my hard disk.   Of course, each thumbnail is flagged as "Missing File".
So, how do I uninstall/reinstall Elements and get it to forget all memory of the previous catalog?   Why is it "remembering" it in this way when the pictures aren't even on the computer anymore? Isn't this a bug???
I've been working on this issue for much longer than I care to remember-- if anyone can tell me how to get myself truly back to ground-zero so I can start over I would be deeply grateful.   After upgrading to Elements 9 (from 7) to try to solve this problem I am close to just abandoning Elements entirely.....
WHile we're at it, if anyone has any idea where the duplicates pictures are coming from and how I prevent that from happening, I'm' all ears!!!!
Thanks!

Hi
Thanks so much for the response.   So, Help/System Info says that the catalog is here:
Catalog Location: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\My Catalog\
but no such file appaers to exist. In fact, I can only get as far as All Users.   Then there is no directory under that called "Application Data".
i'm still seeing the thumbnails when I got into Elements tho'....   :-(

How do I delete Photoshop Elements from my PC - EVERYTHING - so I can do a totally clean install

I did not use adobe to backup and got a new hard drive (actually a SSD). Old hard drive is now F (was C). Have worked with Adobe. No success. Catalogs are messed up because they use the unique identifier of the old hard drive. I have given up trying to fix this and just want to start over so Elements doesn't establish a new catalog that is messed up just like the old catalogs. Where is this information stored besides in the elements database. I have, I think, deleted all versions on my PC and all catalogs I can find, then reinstalled and got a bad catalog again. HELP. I just want to start all over. I have a PC with Windows 7. It has had a number of editions of elements (6,10,13) on the this PC over the last 5 years. Thanks. Paul

Hello Paul,
I would first suggest trying to reset the default preferences of Photoshop Elements to see if that would fix your issue.
Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements Editor displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file could be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.
Note: Deleting the preferences file is an action that cannot be undone.
Do one of the following:
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Mac: Option+Command+Shift) immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.
Go to Edit > Preferences (Mac: Photoshop Elements > Preferences > General), click the Reset Preferences on next launch button, and then click OK. When you restart Adobe Photoshop Elements, all preferences are reset to default settings.
A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements Editor. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help.
However, if you want to delete it entirely you can start by running the uninstaller or then ensuring all files were deleted manually.
Run the uninstaller
Close all applications.
Choose Start > Control Panel or Start > Settings > Control Panel.
Do one of the following:
Windows 7, Vista: If the Control Panel is in a Control Panel Home view, then click Uninstall A Program under Programs.
Windows 7, Vista: If the Control Panel is in Classic View, then double-click Programs And Features.
In the list of installed programs, select Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, and then click Uninstall or Remove.
Click next.
Click Remove, and then follow the remaining onscreen instructions to complete the removal.
Remove Separate Files
Note: Some of the folders below are hidden. By default, Windows Explorer does not display hidden files and folders. To show these hidden folders, see Show hidden files, folders, and filename extensions.
Stop the Watch Folders service
The Watch Folders service runs in the background on your computer. The service detects photos that you add to folders that are on the Organizer's watch folder list. If this service is running, then you can't remove all of the folders listed in the next section.
Choose Start > Run (Windows XP) or click Start (Windows 7 and Vista).
Type services.msc and then press Enter.
In the list of services, locate Adobe Active File Monitor V10. If it is not listed, this section.
Right-click Adobe Active File Monitor V10, and then do one of the following:
Choose Stop from the pop-up menu. Proceed to the next step.
If Stop is unavailable (it is dimmed), then the service is already stopped. Proceed to the next step.
Remove remaining folders and files

Stopping Photoshop Elements from Opening Automatically

Hi guys and gurus. I am guessing this should be quite easy to solve however I can't work it out although I have looked both in the Elements and the iTunes options. I recently installed Photoshop Elements 3 on my laptop and it launches automatically each time I plug in my Ipod mini. So how do I stop it? Am using iTunes 6.
ps. On another note - weird thing: I have posted on these forums/discussions several times in the past (but not for a while though) but my post count now shows as 0. Is there a kind of time reset happening?

I have the same problem, PE 3.0 open automatically. I did all procedure shown in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716 but ITunes doesn't lunch automatically even when I remove PE 3.0.

How can I stop Photoshop CS6 from unwelding imported 3d models?

Hello,
Photoshop has an issue right now in which when I import a 3d object (it doesn't matter which format, I've tried obj and cae) then it will split the object apart into multiple objects along where the borders of the uv map are (aka polyunweld). How do I stop it from doing that?
Here are images demonstrating what I mean exactly.

The fact that you have no ideas worth sharing does not really surprise me.
You say it's a fact that I have no ideas worth sharing. You are damned cheeky to a customer who helps pay your salary, lad. What's your problem? Embarrassed by your inept "investigation" of a reported problem? Anyway, how on earth would you know anything about my ideas or their worth?
It is not an easy problem to solve for a variety of customers that are your audience.
What? Not easy to solve? Just don't unweld the polygons! Not unwelding is easier than unwelding, surely
Photoshop has a very diverse community, what you think is good is not what a Photographer thinks makes sense.
That sounds ridiculous.
1. You initially insisted that Photoshop doesn't unweld meshes!
2. Then, after I provided further evidence, you said you would fix the problem.
3. Now you seem to be suggesting that the software was programmed to unweld meshes because it's "what a Photographer thinks makes sense".
It's easy to complain about on a forum, and if it is constructive that is fine but you seem to enjoy just complaining or insulting.
I complain about things at times. I'm insulting at times. But it's a fact that I'm helpful and constructive most of the time. Oh so sorry for not being the perfect contributor to this forum.
>> I've been waiting 5 months for one simple bug-fix<< I don't know when this was first reported and it's unfortunate we missed that (oh yeah we are human too) but we do have mechanism's (Bug reports on feedback.photoshop.com) that reach us directly, some of us patrol the forums but we cannot do that full time and ship a product.
You're completely mistaken again.
I wasn't talking about the problem in this thread. (Which you've denied exists, then admitted exists and will be fixed, and then suggested to be a design decision on behalf of photographers.)
I said "one bug" not "this bug".
The bug which still isn't fixed after 5 months, despite being acknowledged by Adobe, is one that was introduced by the OS X version of the 13.0.1 update. It makes the 3D rendering almost useless for OS X users and did not exist when customers paid $300 for the 3D rendering.

How do I move Photoshop Elements from one computer to another?

I would just like to clarify first of all that I don't have a disc, and I didn't download it - it came with my computer when I bought it.
I've got the serial code and everything, but I can't find a way to download the Photoshop Elements trial so I can put in the serial code (none of the ones I could find work).

Download a trial version from
http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-9-premiere-elements-9-direct-download-links.h tml
Ensure that you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page before you click the download link otherwise the link will not work.
Launch the trial and enter your serial number to license it.

I do not know how to transfer my Photoshop elements from old Dell Vostro 1720 to new Lenovo T410. please help

I am askink for help in moving my photoshop elements 10 from Dell Vostro 1720 laptop to my newer Lenovo T410 lap

You do not move Adobe applications, you install them, so get the installation files and install them like you originally did.
PSE 10, 11 - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-10-11-downloads.html
You will also need your serial number to activate the new installation. If you did not keep a record of it you might be able to find it in your Adobe account online if you registered the program.
You are allowed to have two installations activated so if you wish to you can keep the software working on the old machine. If you wish to remove it or disable it, you need to deactivate it (Help -> Deactivate).

How do I stop photoshop (elements3) from opening when I load photos

Hi,
I have photoshop elements 3 and also Camedia which is the software that came with our digital camera. I would prefer photoshop didn't open each time I load photos or when I want to view photos. Is there a way of controlling this?
Regards

Dear Barbara, thank you so much for your help.
Photoshop came with a scanner I purchased and I have never used it, but
would like to learn the basics to enhance my handmade cards that I make. I
was wondering if there was a textbook that you could recommend that doesn't
incorporate a lot of jargon and is straight to the point. The main things I
want to learn about are the basics of opening up ps, importing a card and
working with the layers to fade or change the colour of the background.
Here is my blog http://simplyhavingfunwithstamps5.blogspot.com/

How to transfer my Photoshop Elements from a PC to a Mac

I have a licensed copy of Photoshop that I would like to move from my current Windows PC to my new Mac. I know that it is a multi platform version, but I'm not sure what I need to do on the PC prior to moving to the Mac. I've tried unsuccessfully to find out via online chat. Is it just a matter of deactivating on my PC and then loading onto the Mac or are there other steps that need to be taken?
Thanks.

hatstead - as I read through your link, it appears to be related to the organizer catalog; I use Lightroom for organization. My question was only to do with the program itself. I understand that I can run a total of two activations, I just wasn't sure if I needed to do anything on my old computer before I installed Elements on my new Mac.

How do I transfer Photoshop Elements from old computer to new?

I used Belkin Easy Transfer cable and it pulled over some Adobe files and I uninstalled from old HP Windows XP but I can't find a way to reinstalled on my new Dell Windows 7. Photoshop 2.0 came preloaded on my HP and I can't find a product key or other ID number.

Hi,
If you registered you photoshop 2.0 then you may go to adobe.com website and log in using your email address and password and look at your registered products. If not then you may need to contact HP if it came in bundle with your computer. However even you will have access to that serial number if you you're intending to install photoshop 2.0 on a fresh windows 7 OS I don't think you will be successful since it is not compatible. I would recommend you purchase the full version of photoshop CS5 since version 2.0 is not applicable for upgrade anymore.

How do I stop Photoshop CS6 from asking to save changes to a file when closing the file, after "savi

I save a lot of files to "save for web". After saving PS asks if I want to save changes to the original file. I never want to save the changes to the original. Since the default is to change the file I am afraid I will accidentally OK the change without wanting to. I would like it to stop asking and just not save it. Is there a way?

Then don't work on the original open the file using Photoshop menu file>open once its in Photoshop as a document dupe the document and close the original document. Photoshop will just close the original and not ask it you want to save the original document for no changes were made to it. You could easily record an action to automate this process. The first step in the action would be an inserted menu item menu File>Open. The second step Duplicate Document, third step select previous document the fourth and final step close. The action would look like this recorded Work in the dupe and save it under the name you want to where you want it saved. The First step is an interactive you will be able to open any file Photoshop has support for that you have access to.
