How to tell file size in Elements 9 for Mac

I'm new to Mac. I've used Elements for many years. When I click on File>open and browse my image icons in the "finder" folder (no, I don't use iPhoto), I can't see file size info. In Windows, I used to be able to hover my cursor over an image icon and read the file size info. This doesn't work in Mac. When I go the Finder>preferences and set image info for icons, the file's size appears in a different color beneath each icon, which is great. But when I try to browse finder from the Open file menu in Editor, the file size is gone. How do I fix this? I mean if I have three images of the same subject, but different sizes, how can I tell which is which?
Thanks for your help!
Dave

Yes, this is something that has annoyed everyone ever since OS X started (you could do it in OS 9). One workaround is to use column view. Once you choose an image you will see all the data about it in the righthand column:

How to limit file size in LR for photomerge in PS5

Is there a simple way to limit the file size of the photos selected in LR3 for a photomerge in PS5?
I have found that without limiting the size, the panoramas generated are very large - 1GB or greater.
I've found an work around by opening the photos in Bridge and then in Camera Raw where I can reduce the file size before using PS5 for photomerge. After I've done this, it's a bit of a hassle to get the panorama back into LR3. The benefit of this approach is that it speeds up the processing significantly and helps downstream with any subsequent processing since the files are just large and not ginormus.
If this isn't possible, this seems like a good idea for LR4.
Thanks, Chris

A tip of mine that Martin Eveing includes in his Lr2 and Lr3 books is as follows:
1. In Lr, selct the images you wnat to included in pano
2. From Edit in Ps menu choose "Open as Layers". The images will all open as layers in CS5
3. In CS5 choose Image Size from Edit menu and downsize images
4. In CS5 choose Select all Layers (Cmd+Option+A or Ctrl+Alt+A)
5. In CS5 Edit menu choose Auto Align.
The rest of the process should be self explantory

How to get the file size (in bytes) for all files in a directory?

How to get the file size (in bytes) for all files in a directory?
The following code does not work. isFile() does NOT recognize files as files but only as directories. Why?
Furthermore the size is not retrieved correctly.
How do I have to code it otherwise? Is there a way of not converting f-to-string-to-File again but iterate over all file objects instead?
Thank you
Peter
java.io.File f = new java.io.File("D:/todo/");
files = f.list();
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
System.out.println("fn=" + files);
if (new File(files[i]).isFile())
     System.out.println("file[" + i + "]=" + files[i] + " size=" + (new File(files[i])).length() ); }

File size extremely high for .avi after render PE 9

I'm very new to PE and have tried to learn quick to redact info (faces etc) in .avi files for a government agency. I was able to open the file (in the trial version) and make the track matte by dragging the original file to the timeline then dragging it again to the video 2 timeline for the top layer, Question 1) is this the same as copy and paste or am I doubling the size already? Anyway, I was able to get the matte and everything done. Now, to Render and save... I choose computer/avi again (I need to keep it the same) and it took 1 hr 45 min to render it, that seemed long to me but maybe not... but mainly the file size was then 100,883 kb! Starting with a 29.7 kb file. This is what my question is about....could this be right? I can't use it if this is what I get. So, here are the particulars as I got G-spot and looked it up, as per serveral suggestions I saw here. I'm trying to understand the CODEC info but I fear I have a ways to go before I can figure out what I did wrong. (This is my test computer, the future work would be done on a newer, better computer). The videos I would be working with come from various sources and will vary in length but will probably all be a kind of avi.
Intel Pentium processor 1600 mhz
221 mhz, 2.00 gb ram
Microsoft windows xp sp3
video:
length: 0:27.261
frms: 817
Kbps: 28770
pic: 720x480
codec: dvsd dvc/dy
I appreciate any help you can give

Thanks for you response and the information was very helpful. I was able to choose and output that gave me a good file size and I do want DV-AVI (I don't remember what I chose but it worked) but, I don't see an option for DV-AVI - is that a general DV output selection, because there seem to be numerous (AVCHD, NTSC, DV STANDARD) acronyms (I have tried to understand what each is) which do I want?

Re: File size extremely high for .avi after render PE 9 created by Bill Hunt in Premiere Elements - View the full discussion
For the use of Track Matte Keying, with say a Gaussian Blur, or maybe Moasic Effect, if you have not altered the In & Out Points, then just dragging the Asset to both Video 1 and Video 2 will work fine. If you HAVE adjusted the In & Out Points, you can just click-drag from the Source Monitor, where you set those In & Out Points, and all is good. The Copy/Paste is just another way to do it.
As you are doing an "overlay," the output File Size will not be affected in any way. You are also limiting the Blur, or Effect on Video 2 to just the area "exposed" by the Track Matte, so the pixel count will not be altered.
As Steve points out, the output CODEC in the AVI will determine the output File Size. File Size is basically determined by the Timeline's Duration and by the Bit-Rate of the output file. With DV-AVI, that Bit-Rate is pretty well set, and your Timeline determines the Duration. At ~ 13GB/hour, a DV-AVI will be pretty large, but that is the nature of the beast. Also, and as Steve points out, if you are going to do additional editing, and will be Importing that file into a New Project, DV-AVI is about as good, as it gets.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to add a new data element for existing table filed(Primary key field)

Hi Experts,
How to add a new data element for existing table field(Primary key field)
For this filed ther is no foreign key relation ships and even check table.
while activating table it is giving message like below.
can you help any one to solve this and wil steps to add new dataelement for existing primary key filed of a table.
Check table (NAMING SPACE/TABLE NAME(EX:/TC/VENDOR)) (username/19.02.10/03:29)
Primary key change not permitted for value table /TC/VENDOR
Check on table /TC/VENDOR resulted in errors
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
Easiest way is to download the table eg into an Excel table (if possible) or text table. Drop the table from the database. Build your table with the new key field. Build the database table again and fill it.
You can do it also over the database into a new table. Drop the old one. Build the enhanced one and fill it. Afterwards drop your (temporary) table.
Maybe there are other ways, but this works.
Success,
Rob

I received a psd file created in CS6 for MAC, I am unable to find the layers when I open it in photoshop in Windows. What can i do to edit the files? What can be done so that I can either open and see the layers or how can the sender save it in a way that it doesn't "merge" the layers in some way to just one?

Could try saving as tiff provided layers and transparency are chosen at the time of saving. But it's hard to give a definitive answer as it depends on the final usage. For example PSD's tend to work better in applications like In Design in comparison with tiff.

Photoshop Elements for Mac - Three Versions Installed

Hi there,
I'm cleaning up stuff on my iMac and find I have three purchased versions of PhotoShop Elements for Mac installed, V4, V6 and now V8. Can I safely remove the old V4 and V6 versions without them affecting anything in V8?
Also, there are other versions of related software, such as Adobe Bridge, then Adobe Bridge CS3 and CS4. Can the original and CS4 versions be removed.
What else might have multiple versions relating to Photoshop Elements?
Can I remove these by simply deleting them from the Applications or is there a process which needs to be followed, i.e., an Uninstall?
Guidance much appreciated.
Lynn

"Never delete anything, just buy a bigger hard drive"!
After I admit to being "slightly eccentric", let me say I don't know why you even need to uninstall any of them. The only caveat there is you can't run two versions simultaneously. I have PSE- 5 & 7 installed on one of my computers, and I import the same file into both catalogs, while duplicating the folders on a separate HDD also. You can never be to sure, or is that too insecure, I'm not really sure.

Choosing paper type in Photoshop Elements for mac

How do I select paper type in PS elements for Mac OS Lion 10.7?

You do this in the OS X print window that appears after you click Print in the PSE print window. You may need to expand the window by clicking the Show Details button, and then you'll see a pulldown menu in the middle of the window where you make your choices for paper, ink, etc.

Blank DVD Template in Prem. Elements for Mac

Years ago when I was a Windows user I LOVED using Premiere Elements to import and edit home videos. The editing, chaptering etc was so easy and I I was really happy with the final product. One thing I really liked was when I created the DVD menus etc I had access to a blank DVD template so I could use my own background picture etc. I never cared much for the "themes". Is there a way with the new prem elements for MAC to have a blank DVD template?

As usual and as I remember you to be you are so helpful! What I would like is to have to custom templates. The first would be just a generic background where I could insert my own picture. I don't use video link boxes or anything so I prefer the links to the "menu markers" to be just text. For instance, say I am making a DVD of a theatre performance. I would like a general "play all" button that will play the entire performance. I would also use a "Act 1" button and a "Act 2 button". I do chapter each scene but to avoid having 10 pages of "scenes" I'd prefer the "scenes" to not be accessible from the main menu. Most every DVD from theatre to concerts to home movies I do like this. I only like to have one main menu menu. No submenus. I used to have 1 custom template that did that. The second one would be exactly the same but would offer a "scenes" button in the instance I did want to add a "scene" menu as well. I really, really hope this makes sense.....
And I don't want to come across as crazy, but when I installed the demo on PE9 on my mac, I only have one template called "fun" and I can't change the background image. There is a little dropbox within the menu that I can add a video or pic, but that's only a small hole in the template, the rest of the background I can't change. I'd be happy to take a screen cap if I am not describing it correctly...
Short story long, it sounds like Steve both templates you said are for free on your site will do what I am needing to do. How do I go about downloading them?

Language for Premiere Elements, for MAC

Hello,
What's the reason for doesn't launch Adobe Elements for MAC (last version = 12) in spanish language?
Thanks

Some purchased Adobe Premiere Elements Editor or Adobe Premiere Elements Quick Editor from the Mac App store instead of Premiere Elements Mac from Adobe.
I checked online regarding the Mac App store and their Premiere Elements offered...
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/purchases-mac-app-store-faq.html
looks like last date on document is around May of 2013.
Note that even there
Spanish is not an included language for "Photoshop or Adobe Premiere Elements".
Curious.
I suspect only Adobe has the answer for no Spanish version of the product. You could contact Adobe via Adobe Chat to determine what workaround, if any, exists for those wanting a Spanish version of the product.
