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 you whiten teeth in Photoshop Elements 10

    How do you whiten teeth in Photoshop Elements 10?

    For those with earlier versions of PSE without Guided Edit, try this:
    - Select and feather teeth 1 or 2 px.
    - Enhance > Adjust Color > Hue/Saturation, or add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer.
    - Choose Yellows from menu.
    - Lower Saturation to remove yellow.
    - Optionally increase Lightness.
    Here I moved Saturation all the way left and changed Lightness to +50.

  • I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista.  when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in

    I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista.  when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in the width and height boxes.  the cursor won't enter.  same thing with resolution.  what did i do?  what's wrong?

    The first thing you might try is resetting the Crop Tool by right clicking on the crop icon in the tool options bar and choosing Reset Tool.
    If that doesn't work then the next thing is to reset the photoshop elements 2 settings file by holding down
    the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after clicking or double clicking on the pse 2 shortcut.
    Keep holding the keys until a dialog appears ask if you want to delete the photoshop elements settings file
    and click yes in the dialog.

  • How do you move collections from Photoshop Elements 5.0 to Photoshop Elements 13?

    I have an old laptop with Photoshop elements 5.0 and wanted to move that program to my newer PC but the program was too old so I bought and loaded Photoshop Elements 13 on my PC.  To import my photos from the 5.0 I did a full backup on a flash drive and then loaded the pictures to the PC with 13.  The pictures are there but none of my collections from 5.0. I read the manual and said I was supposed to be prompted to convert old catalogs.  I was never prompted and do not know how to transfer my collections in my catalog from 5.0 to the 13.

    What you are doing is not only to install a newer version of PSE, it's also to migrate to a new computer.
    The general solution is to do a full organizer backup on an external drive and do an organizer restore to the new computer (or new drive).
    Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later
    The problem is that since PSE5 is an old version working with a different database engine, you must first use a conversion utility to create a PSE13 version.

    So read that paper carefully, do the backup restore and conversion as described.

  • How can I use photoshop elements with photos

    Title says it all.  I would like to use Photoshop Elements to edit my photos--how do I open them in PSE? 

    Yes your edits will be there if you import the edited version. Yes it will go to the Cloud with the edits. What you read is that edits made in iPhoto and Aperture after the library has been migrated will not be available in Photos. But you could still export from iPhoto/Aperture to the Finder and then import to Photos, like with PSE.

  • Printing problems using Photoshop Elements 6

    I have been using Photoshop Elements 6 for several years and am currently having printing problems, e.g., some prints are too light, some are too saturated, or too dark...they just don't look like the screen which looks pretty good.  I use Spyder 3 Pro to calibrate my monitor.  Does anyone know of any websites that address these type of problems.  Looking for some advice, tips, etc.
    Thanks.

    Does this happen only in PSE6 or in other programs that can print graphics, like Acrobat or Word or PowerPoint?
    I only ask because my LexMark started to vary color saturation shortly before the print head dumped an entire cartridge onto one page and it gave up the ghost.
    It wasn't just pictures. Word documents would go from light to dark. Graphics (business cards, labels) would print bright and then dim on the same page.

  • I am having problems install Photoshop elements 8.0 and premiere elements 8.0

    I have recently received both photoshop elements 8.0 and premiere elements 8.0 and neither will install.
    I have gone through (at length!) all the support suggestions e.g. adusting accelaration etc. Absolutley nothing works! I have spent over 4 hours trying to sort this problem which as it is a new product is extemely disappointing. I look for any helpful advice or should I just claim my money back?

    I tried downloading the trial version which seems to have gone through. However although i can see lots of new files in a "Premier elements" folder in programs, I cannot see any way to open it. It has not appeared on the programs list and there is no shortcut on the desktop. How am I supposed to access this software?
    If this is a trial, you really should make it more user friendly as I am not impressed at all so far.
    I have spent over 6 housr now trying to get this sofware to work. If you cannot nwo get this to work, i will return to store and get refund (and use a version of Pinnacle recommended by a friend who has had no problems!
    I look forward to an easy and quick resolution.
    P.S I note your on line chat is useless as it is only available to USA residents.

  • Using photoshop elements with aperture

    I recently purchased and installed Aperture 1.5. I have yet to import my photos. I plan on keeping my photos on an external drive. The drive is shared with a windows laptop. I have about 5k of photos. Most of the time, the edits I make will only be colour correction and cropping, so Aperture will be the software of choice. For some photos I need to manipulate backgrounds, or cut out shapes, etc and drop them into other photos. I don't believe Aperture will do this.
    So I'm wondering how to handle the photos I need to use Photoshop Elements 4.0 (Windows). Can I make the background changes, cut outs, etc. in Photoshop, save the changed image on the external harddrive and then import the reference to this image into Aperture?
    mac mini    

    It seem to me that you have two separate issues to deal with.
    First, using PSE4 as editor. The whole power of Aperture is in its digital asset manager. In other words, if you edit files in PSE4, then it will need to be imported into Aperture (referenced or otherwise). While it can be stacked, it will be a separate file, whereas if a version is created within Ap, then it is not a separate master file. Nothing wrong with it as long as you know that, and are willing to live with multiple masters of the same image.
    Second, sharing an external drive-based image with XP laptop. Clearly you will need to make your Ap library a referenced master library. This also means that you will have to back up the file separately from using Vault (Vault will backup your referenced previews and versions but not your master files). Do you have this connected and working now? If not, pay attention to the external disk format for compatibility issue. I have MBP and Dell desktop that shares an external drive.
    All that said, did you consider creating a logical directory/folder structure on your external HDD and use the Organizer that comes with PSE/XP? It is a quite nice program and will allow for PSE editing in an integrated manner. Not sure what you are gaining by using Ap, other than stacking feature.

  • I use photoshop elements version 11 and just bought a nikon d750. Photoshop elements can't open/read the raw/NEF-file. Does a photoshop elements raw converter exist for Nikon d750 ??? And where can I get it ?

    Does a raw converter exist for this camera and where can I find it ?
    Thanks for any help.
    erwing97792269

    You need Adobe camera raw version 8.7. Unfortunately your software pre-dates the camera. ACR 8.7 is only compatible with PSE13. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.7
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Mac OS X 10.5.4 - Problem using Photoshop Elements

    I've loaded Photoshop Elements 6 onto my hard drive and I can open it up, but I can't actually use it. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with Adobe, only to be told that they think it has something to do with my permissions - so they can't help me, I have to talk to Apple.
    I can't find a number to call to speak to a real person (was I crazy to think I could, or have I simply missed something?). Anyway, I think I fixed "permissions" using a thread posted somewhere in the forum (disk utility, first aid, etc. etc.) and I managed to get one step further in Elements, but it's still crashing.
    I really don't know what to do next. Can anyone help? I have a program I know I should be able to use.
    Oh, and BTW, I'm useless with computers, so step by step help would be appreciated

    Barbara
    In 10.5 you can access them from the 'Open...' Dialogue:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    But, as you say, if accessed this way will need to be saved to the desktop and imported to iPhoto as a new image.

  • Using Photoshop Elements with my iMac

    I am not sure anyone here can help me or if I'm in the right category, but I couldn't find a category that seemed to fit my question. If you can redirect me I'd appreciate it.
    I have recently installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0.1 onto my iMac. I want to be able to go further with my photo editing than iphoto can take me. It took me some time, but I finally figured out how to get my iphoto pics to open with photoshop. Now my problem is that I can not seem to get any of the editing to apply to a picture. I have been trying to apply the anti-alias to pictures to eliminate the harsh picture edges. I'm wanting to print these pics on quilt squares and don't want a box within a box. Using standard editing I have been able to select the area around the center picture for anti-aliasing. That shows up as a marque. But I can not then get anti-aliasing to apply so I can see how that affects my pics. If anyone here has any experience with photoshop elements I would really appreciate some tips.
    Again, if anyone knows a better forum for my question, I would appreciate being redirected to that forum.
    Thanks Im Advance For Any Help.
    Kaye

    Thanks to everyone for your input. I have gone to the photoshop forums as well. I thought I might have better luck using the Mac forum because, I wasn't sure I would find anyone on the photoshop forum using a mac. I did get some pointers there but they have not worked either.
    I know that I can only use certain tools to anti alias and have done that. I can check the box for anti alias, but nothing happens.
    I think I may have to just use what I have and stop trying to edit them. The time constraints I am under are too narrow.
    Thanks Again For All Help,

  • How to increase the size of Photoshop Elements 8 MENU and PANEL fonts?

    How do I increase the size of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 MENU, PANEL and other fonts used in Photoshop Editor?
    Does anyone know of registry fix or other solution?
    Thanks
    FYI:
    I've increased windows XP display fonts to 140 dpi, only Photoshop Elements 8 fonts did NOT increase, such as menu, panel and drop down fonts -- they remain very small and almost unreadable.  All other programs menu fonts did increase.

    I’m sure Adobe try to make their products as accessible as possible to all sections of the community although by its very nature certain adjustments to fine detail require the use of a mouse.
    However where possible keyboard short cuts are provided, as an alternative to the drop down menus. For example to adjust levels rather than clicking Enhancements>>Lighting>>Levels you can simply press Ctr+L.
    Importantly it’s possible to zoom in and out on any image in the Editor using Ctr plus or Ctr minus.
    That's the only suggestion I can think of.

  • Problem using text element with type TEXT INCLUDE in smartforms

    Hi,
    I am working on smartform.
    My requirement is to print the text which can range from 1 to 99 (free text). I am using TDNAME, TDOBJECT and TDID from STXH table and putting it in the fields Text Name, Text Object and Text ID of text element created with type "TEXT INCLUDE" in window in smartform.
    It works Fine only when I put exact value of TDNAME in Text Name field.
    But in my case TDNAME can vary according to value of AENNR from Table AENR.
    So I am trying to use a variable called W_TDNAME and pass TDNAME value to it. I am putting this W_TDNAME in the field TEXT NAME. And it says "Inlcude text W_TDNAME does not exist".
    HELP ME OUT.
    ANSWERS WILL BE AWARDED..
    Tushar

    Hi Tushar,
    When you see in Text name field, there is a small button at the end of that field. This is to switch the dynamic field value option on. Click that and use the format &field_name& to enter your variable in that field.

  • How to use thunderbolt port with disks and DVI-display

    Hello,
    today I use a 15" MacBookPro and have attached 1TB LaCie with FW800  (for time machine) and DVI-Display using Mini-port.
    Need to add more external disk space and look for Lacie 2 TB with thunderbolt connection (for storing mass of pictures in Raid1 version)
    Is it possible to connect the new disk, the other disk with an Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter and the DVI-Display to one thunderbolt port?
    What are the options I have, to get all three to work at the same time?

    No, or at least not without additional hardware. You have too many end-points for one Thunderbolt chain.
    You also have the problem that the Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter is not yet for sale.
    If the new disk you get has two Thunderbolt ports (which not all do), you could daisy-chain the Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter behind it, but that adapter has to be at the end of the chain. The Mini-port->DVI adapter likewise needs to be at the end of a chain.
    So, you can probably get all three connected at one time by connecting the "1TB LaCie with FW800  (for time machine)" to your FW800 port, while connecting the Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter (when available) to the second port of the new disk. I say "probably" because nobody has the TB-FW adapter yet to try it.
    As for doing it on one Thunderbolt port with additional hardware, you might look into third-party docking stations being released in the next few months. The announced prices are in the low-to-middle hundreds. I won't mention brand names, as this is an Apple forum, but they aren't too hard to find by web search.
    The highest-priced solution would be the Apple Thunderbolt Display, which gives you a FW800 port for your 1TB drive, a pass-thru Thunderbolt port for your new disk, and of course a 2560x1440 display (plus ethernet and usb2 ports you may not need). It's available now, in the uppermost hundreds. There are some refurbs in the online Apple Store at the moment at 15% off.
