How to open more than 1 file at a time in PSE12?

How do you set PSE12 to open more than 1 file (jpg) at a time? I've seen this question come up many times but no one seems to get the problem resolved. I've tried all the suggestions. Any assistance appreciated.
I had this program installed and working as I wanted about 3 months ago. I then uninstalled and reinstalled a few days ago. Now it won't open more than 1 file at a time.

Hi,
My theory is that Windows get confused when it is opening the program file and the following intsructions should create a unique copy. I have produced the instructions in detail because I am never sure how much people are use to - forgive me you know much of it.
Open Windows or Folder Explorer
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12
Look for PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
Right click on the file and select Copy
Right click on a blank space and select Paste - you should get a prompt asking if you want to continue - you do - this should produce a copy of the file
Rename PhotoshopElementsEditor - Copy.exe to PSE 12 ED - you should get a prompt asking if you want to continue - you do
Close the Explorer
In the Windows Control Panel, select Default Programs
In Default Programs, Select Associate a file type … - it will take a while to display the list
Scroll down to the type you want to select - say .jpg and select it
Click on the Change program button
Click on the Browse button
Search for the PSE 12 ED file renamed in 6 above, select it and then click on the Open button
Click on OK and close the Default Programs
Now try your tests. I can get multiple files to open as well as retain Expert mode.
Good luck

PSE13 repeatedly crashing when opening more than one file at a time to layer images. [was: Feeling very frustrated.]

Just bought Photoshop Elements 13. I have a Macbook Pro that meets all the requirements. I have installed and reinstalled the program but it just keeps crashing. The program will load, when I choose the expert tab and try to open more than one file at a time to layer images it just crashes and says "Photoshop Elements has closed unexpectedly" Can anyone help me please?

OK, kinda slooow here, I hope I'm not trying your patience!? If I understand you correctly, install dummy drivers and then the drivers that came with my printer, Designating NO default printer! Then when I need to use the printer I will have to declare which one each and every time?
Or, just intall by new printer but do not Delcare it as the Default printer, I guess in this instance there would be NO default printer?
You may not even have the problem!
Have you installed the new printer yet?
There are many more people who don't see it happen than those who do.
PS: there is always a default printer.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0- can't open more than 1 file at a time!

Hi,
We have a computer with Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 at our office. It has worked for a few years just fine, but not something is wrong- whenever we try to open more than 1 document to edit or combine them, the program says there has been an error and immediately closes. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to solve this. We have elements 4.0 and 5.0 on other computers and those seem to be working just fine.
Thanks,
Amy @ Orfield

Sorry. But Elements 6 wasw a crosssroads. The database did change!

How to view more than one file at a time in CS4?

With OS 10.5, and a brand new CS4 Photoshop, I can open many Photoshop files at a time, but can only view one at a time. Must choose one at a time from the "tab". I need to have more than one picture open and showing at a time to work on them. How can I do that? What have I missed? Who can help? Thanks!

"Here's the smart way for all of you on macs. Set up Exposé and a keystroke for 'Application windows'. Then with the press of a single key you can visualize, and swap between documents very easily. By I single keystroke I mean something like Right Control.
Tabbed documents have hardly any genuine advantages for mac users, yet another example of interface decisions in the stupid direction."
This is what I've been saying since I first saw the tabbed view in the new CS4. On the Mac, tabbed view is a big step backwards as it actually breaks the superior Expose' method of viewing multiple windows and also switching among them. I would also add that Control/Tab for non-tabbed windows is actually slightly faster than when they are tabbed. So for the mac, I only needed a minute to decide that the tabbed view was merely change for the sake of change. There are also operations that I do where I have to recreate a piece of art to match an existing piece. In those situations I always have the original right next to the the new image. Tabbed view destroys this as well. So I don't use it.
For the PC, tabbed views is possibly a tiny step forward, but it's such a small step that I'm not sure if I prefer to use tabs, or have that small amount of screen space that the tabs use. There was no previously existing "good" method of viewing and moving among multiple windows of a single application on the PC and therefore, tabs might be a small improvement. Unfortunately though it does seem that in order to bring us tabbed views in CS4, Adobe had to slightly 'break' the regular floating windows view. On the PC the documents will actually float above the toolbars, palettes,etc making it very difficult to use if not impossible. So, if you don't like using tabs, then you are really gonna suffer with non-tabbed view or suffer with the tabbed view. On the Mac, it's the opposite problem. Documents actually float up and underneath the top toolbar, covering the "close, maximize, minimize" buttons. Generally I would say that Adobe has created a mess when the best solution was obvious. Adobe should have copied the expose' method for it's CS4 suite. Hopefully they will have enough feedback with CS4 to see the light and change it for CS5. I see that Microsoft has mouse software that has already done just that on the PC, and there are a handful of independent efforts attempting to come up with something like expose' but generally with far less elegant and less "perfect" results.

Can't open more than one file at a time

I am experiencing a strange bug in Dreamweaver CC.
When I try to open multiple files in DW, it opens the same file in multiple tabs. For example: I select index.html and login.html from the site root, then open. Instead of ending up with both files open, one in each tab, DW opens two tabs of the login.html. If I try to open a third file called main.css for example, it replaces the two existing tabs and opens a third tab, all with main.css.
This makes working on global site styles and pretty much anything very difficult.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I have all the latest updates to the software currently available.

Hello all,
I am aware that it's not typical DW behaviour. I have never experienced it in any previous versions either. I tried the new user account without success.
For reference: iMac 21"
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
The system has more than enough power to run DW. I would like more power, but then wouldn't everyone...
So unfortunately I am no closer to a solution. Is this a forum that Adobe Support interacts with? Is there any way I can contact them for a solution directly?

How to upload more than one file at a time to convert

I have 1300 tiff files that need to be converted to pdf. Is this possible?? I tried to call for help and set on hold for nearly 1 hour. If this isnt possible then I need to cancel my subscription for it won't be of any help to me

Hi Derek,
It sounds like you were looking to back convert TO the PDF format. To do this, you'll want to look at our desktop application, Adobe Acrobat.
As you requested, I have initiated a return of your CreatePDF subscription.

CS3 Crashes When trying to open more than 1 file

Hi All,
My work copy of CS3, Photoshop in particular, is crashing every single time I try to open more than one file. I tried trashing the preferences when using WinXP. We couldn't get it to stop crashing upon opening more than 1 file regardless of the open method (Recent docs, File>Open, Drag & Drop, etc)
So then I actually got a new computer (bonus!) and there's Vista Ultimate on it. All was working great until this morning and now sure enough if I try to open more than one file, CRASH...
Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this? It must not be my machine because I've tried two machines..
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

If your still running vista Click on control and switch to classic view. Look for folder options. On the View tab look for hidden files and folders and select "Show hidden files and folders". Same tab Uncheck " hide protected operating system files". Hit APPLY then ok and close out.This will now show all files on your system.
Right click on my computer and select properties. Click on advance system properties. Click on advance tab. Look for Performance and click on settings.
On the advance tab look for Virtual memory and select "Change" If you only have on hard drive you should see C drive. what you want to do is select "Custom size". Look for recommended file size (mine reads 12285 MB) What you want to do is put that number size in "Initial size" and Also "Maximum Size" and hit the "set" button. What this does is it lets Vista set a set amount of Virtual memory that can be used as RAM. This will help Vista from wanting the same Hard disk space for Virtual Memory and Adobe Scratch Disk Space doing the same thing. You will have to reboot.
Go to start and type in msconfig and hit enter. Go to Start up tabe and uncheck any start up items that do not need to start when you start your computer. While your in that area you can click on the boot tab. Click on Advance options. Look for number of processors and check the box. If you have more then one core processor click on the down arrow and look for the number of processors you have. (for example I have 4 so I selected 4. Hit ok. Then in the other main window hit apply then OK. A screen will pop up telling you to reboot. Selecting more then one processor (if you have more then one) will allow the computer to boot using all processors and maybe notice a faster boot time.
Did you patch CS3 after you installed it on Vista? Also did you defrag your hard drive?

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. how do i fix the problem

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. It use to allow me to open multiple windows before but for no apparent reason it stopped. I uninstalled it and re-installed but I'm having the same problem. How do I fix the problem
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== several days ago

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

PSE-7 won't allow opening of more than one file at a time.

I can only open one file at a time in PSE-7. I just downloaded the trial upgrade from PSE-6. If I try to open more than one file, PSE crashes and windows wants to send a report to Microsoft. Elements works fine with only one file. Anyone got any idea's ?

Try to exit out of Elements 7 and go back in to your Organizer. Open a file and choose to edit it in full edit. Then leave it there and go back to Organizer and choose another picture to go through the same process. Now you should have both pictures showing in your bin at the bottom of the edit screen which you can toggle back and forth to as you edit each. If you want them both in the edit window itself you can you to the Window tab - Image - and choose to tile them or cascade them. Good luck, hope this works.

How do you open more than one image at a time in Camera Raw?

We used to be able to select more than one image from a folder and process one after the other in camera raw. Now we can only do one at a time. Is there a secret keyboard short-cut to allow this still?

Which operating system are you using?
One should still be able to open multiple files into camera raw.
Camera raw files. tiffs and jpegs.
If in the pse 13 Editor in the Expert mode you go to File>Open in Camera Raw, you aren't able to open more than one file into camera raw?

How to transfer more than one files over internet at once?

hi, friends,
I just wonder how to transfer more than one files from one computer to another over internet at once. Not using ftp. pls any one give me the solution.

This isn't hard to do, but it depends on your exact need. I did something very similar to let me upload all my mp3 file from home to work using sockets (don't have the code anymore..).
What I did was implement a "pull" approach rather than a "push" approach. In other words, everytime my server got a request from a client, it served up the next file. It didn't know or care that the client was always the same.
If you can set up a server to serve one file when a client attaches, then basically just put that code in a loop.
If this doesn't meet you need, it might still be helpful as a starting point...

How to include more than 12 files in a new PDF document?

I have a Adobe PDF Pack, and when I click on crating a new PDF document, they say that I cannot combine more than 12 files...!
And I want to have a document of hundreds of pages!
Someone can help me?
Pleeeeaaase!!!!!!

Hi Hisami,
Thank you very, very much!
It is very useful what you explain.
One only question, since I have the trying version of Acrobat Pro: how many files can you combine at the time with it?
May be it depends on the files size.
I tried yesterday to combine 50 files at the time and it just blocked everything...
Thanks a lot!
Have a very good day.

To combine more than 12 files into a single PDF file:
1. Combine file 1 to file 12 then name it (combined 1 for example)
2. Combine file 13 to file 24 then name it (combined 2 for example)
3. Keep doing those steps #1 and #2 then combine "combined 1, Combine 2.....Combine 12).
Another way is to use Adobe Acrobat. Please download Acrobat XI Pro Trial version from www.adobe.com or you can upgrade your subscription to Acrobat Plus(please see more information about Acrobat Plus subscription at https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html?trackingid=JPZKR).
In Acrobat XI Pro:
1. Launch Acrobat
2. Select "File" menu > Create > Combine Files into a Single PDF
3. Click "Add Files" button at top left corner
4. After adding your files click "Combine" button at the bottom of the dialog.
Thank you
Hisami

Opening more than one file in Photoshop CS5

Feeling rather silly! Have used Photoshop for many years — and in fact taught it to many.
I am unable to open more than one doc at a time. If I open one, when I open the second one it replaces the first one.
It is essential for what I do to be able to have more than one doc open at a time.
Am I missing something that is right before my eyes?

How are you supposed to know this stuff — no manual??
The manual is available for download.

Albeit it seems to be incomplete …
Anyway that stuff (and the Application Frame) was introduced in CS4 and did cause some confusion then, too.

AI cannot open more than 100MB file

my AI software dont know sudden cannot open more than 100MB AI file, I try clean up temp file, and repair the software, but still cannot open more than 100MB file,
anyone can help, thanks

Ask in the AI forum and provide system info, details about the file you are trying to open and so on. A 100MB AI file can literalyl contain trillions of points and paths and may never be possible to open even on a powerful system. Otherwise it could simply be damaged/ malformated, if this is e.g. exported from a CAD program.
