I accidentally deleted an effect in Photoshop elements

Can someone help? I accidentally deleted an effect (simple emboss) in Photoshop Elements 6.0. How can I replace it?
Thank you.

Try deleting the mediadatabase.db3 file. You may also need to delete the thumbsdatabase.db3 file.
See post #4 in this thread for location for both Mac and Windows OS.

Note: Just renaming the mediadatabase.db3 file will not work. You must remove it. It will rebuild during relaunch.
Be patient on waiting for the effects palette to rebuild after restarting Elements. It may take around 10 minutes for the effects palette to rebuild and you should leave Elements to it's own devices during that time...no peeking.
If on Vista...most likely Windows 7 also...the file path goes through some hidden folder starting with "application data". You need to "Show hidden files and folders".

If it still hasn't built after doing doing the above, you may need to also reinstall. See this thread...post #11 and #12.

Deleting Adobe sign in Photoshop Elements

PSE 13 is requiring I sign in to Adobe every time I start the program. This is really aggravating and an invasion of my privacy. It is none of Adobe's business when I am using the program.

I purchased a retail CD of PSE 13. This was not a download.
    I logged on to my Adobe ID account and PSE 13 is NOT LISTED in my list of programs. However, when I attempted to register it (I couldn't remember if I had previously registered it) by entering the serial number I received message that it (PSE 13) was already registered! There appears to be something wrong with the Adobe registration process and this might be why I keep getting the message to login every time I start PSE. How can this be corrected?
   Also, I noticed that your preceding email has my original Adobe login name - "D Salk". However, when requested to login now, the login entry requires my email address and password. This password is different than the one used with "D Salk". I don't understand what is going on. Over the years I have had to change my password several times because I kept getting messages that my "user name and password did not match". It seemed like I needed different user name and password to login to different parts of the Adobe website, e.g., Adobe Support different from Adobe Forum. I do not like the new format where my full name is associated with my account that is why I originally used D Salk. In the current Adobe ID login process the, "My Account" option does not permit me to change my name. Please advise if there is either some way to delete my full name or, if not, how to DELET ALL ADOBE ACCOUNTS.
     The previous email I sent you showed that the Print Screen of the Login message was attached. Maybe it did not transmit for some reason. I am attaching it to this email again. Check at the end of these emails. That is where the PNG file is currently displayed on my monitor.

Hi DSalk,
1. The above information is fine about architecture.
2. After downloading application when you install it on your PC then it ask for two options i.e. Run in trial and License this software. It allows you to run application for 30 days in trial mode then it ask to enter serial number. You can license PSE any time if you have serial number. When you enter serial number and register it then your application is serialized.
3. I think, snapshot you didn't attach.
Thanks,
Raushan

New Blur effects in Photoshop Elements 11 | Learn Photoshop Elements 11 | Adobe TV

Create sophisticated photographic blur effects in Photoshop Elements 11. In this tutorial, you'll see how to use the new Tilt-Shift Guided Edit to create a miniature effect. Then you'll learn how to refine the results with the new Refine Edge selection option in Expert mode.

I do fine until I "Add the Layer Mask". When I go to Lens Blur afterward, the image is the same and it blurs the entire image. I followed this video exactly as it said. Anyone else having this problem?

Deleting a photo from Photoshop Elements 11 editor

I deleted a photo from Photoshop Elements 11 organizer. How do I delete it in Photoshop Editor?

Nothing is actually "in" the editor. It's just like most other programs you might use to open a file, not like organizer that's making a database of your photos. Just close it there, either from the image window or tab's close button, or by pressing ctrl+W (command+W on a mac).

Deleting old versions of PhotoShop Elements

Jeez, all kinds of hoops to jump through just to get one stupid question answered.
I just installed PhotoShop Elements 12. Is it safe to delete my old version, PhotoShop Elements 8, from my hard drive?
P.S. Does anyone know why I had to submit my birthday to join the forum? With the latest security breaches on the Adobe site, giving out such personal information is dangerous. I guess Adobe doesn't really care about our security.

No, that's not true, although you might get asked for a serial number from the old version on reinstall. However, if you're using windows, you might want to read through this, about the features missing from PSE 12:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1302663?tstart=0
Many of them can be reinstalled from your older version. (Macs are missing the same features, but since the mac version is now 64 bits, reinstalling old bits doesn't work.)

Effects in Photoshop elements 8

How do you restore the effects when you delete them in error.
Or, is there a place to update effects for this program?

You don't say which OS you are using.
You have to delete the MediaDatabase.db3 file. This file will take several minutes...maybe up to 10... to rebuild so be patient. From what I understand, you must delete this file not just simply rename it.
1. Start by closing Elements.
2. Navigate to MediaDatabase.db3 file.
3. Delete MediaDatabase.db3 file.
4. Lauch Elements...and leave it alone for about 10 minutes while the MediaDatabase file rebuilds.
If on a PC, you have to first "show hidden files and folders" as the file you need to delete and rebuild to get your effect back is in a hidden folder. Note: I recommend changing this setting back to "do not show hidden files and folders" once you have deleted the MediaDatabase.db3 file.
Show hidden files and folders:
Vista/Windows 7
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/show-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-vist a/
XP:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/display-hidden-folders-in-xp/
MediaDatabase.db3 file path:
Windows XP:
C:\ Documents and Settings\ All Users\ Application Data\ Adobe\ Photoshop Elements\ 8.0\ Locale\ En_US (or your locale)\ MediaDatabase.db3
Windows Vista:
C:\ ProgramData\ Adobe\ Photoshop Elements\ 8.0\ Locale\ En_US (or your locale)
If you are on a Mac, the file path is:
On the Mac the Mediadatabase.db3 is located at Library\Application Support\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\Locale\ en-US
The Library is the top level library (the one on the same level as Applications)
If you run into problems, have a look through the Elements Village forum thread I have linked which is walking a couple of posters through the process of doing this procedure.

No Filters, Styles, Effects in Photoshop Elements 11

I purchased Elements a while ago, but just realized that Filters, Styles and Effects are empty : (
I'm using Mac (OSX 10.8.3)
Please, help!

Adobe doesn't provide support for the current version much, either.
You need to delete mediaDatabase.db3. Quit the editor, then go to your hard drive>library>application support>adobe>Photoshop Elements>11.0>Locale>en_US (or your location) and delete it. Then relaunch the editor but don't do anything till ilt's through rebuilding those panels.
(Note that this doesn't pertain to the mac app store version.)

Lightsaber effect in Photoshop Elements 4.0- Please give some help

Hi,
I am very new to photo editing. I've been asked by my young cousins to photoshop in the lightsaber effect to some still photos. All I have is photoshop elements 4.0, and all the tutorials I find are in different editions.
So far, I created the additional screen layer, used the lasso tool to isolate the rod, filled in white. Added additional layers as described and added the different gausian blur layers too. However unlike other versions there is no way I can see to change the colors of the "outer glow" in my version.
Should I leave the first layer white, making the core, then make the additional copied layers the color I want with the blur?
Also can someone tell me how do I round off the tip of the blade?
I am sorry as this must be a pretty annoying issue to have to explain to every new user, but I promised the guys I'd do it and don't want to let them down.

I used a tutorial online for a different version of photoshop.
I created a new layer, as a screen with the option to fill in background with black, and used the lasso tool to isolate the rod and filled it in white.
Then I created 3 duplicate layers of this layer.
I then gave the core layer a gaussian blur of about 5
then first copied layer a blur of 10
next layer a blur of 20
and finally a blur of 30 all as instructed by the tutorial.
The creates a great looking white saber, but then the tutorial has an option to color the outer glow. My version does not.
As of last night I was able to use the "color variations" option and select increase blue for the midtones and some highlight. Its not as precise as I would like and I've getting fairly ok results each time, but this method is really trial and error.
I will look into using the hue/sat choice tonight, but when i selcted that last night, it changed the hue of the whole image and not just the outer glow layers.
I'll post a pic of the work so far from my home computer tonight.

I would like to delete photos in my Photoshop Elements 12

I Have 15212 photos in Photoshop Elements 12 and I would like to delete some of them.

The only way to do that would be to add them to a shared stream. The disadvantage is that they will be a lower resolution than the original photos. Another option if you have a lit of music on your device would be to sync it all off, the sync it back after the update using iTunes.

Puzzle effect in Photoshop Elements 12

Try this, Nikola,
Open picture file. This will be the background layer.
With the magnetic lasso tool, select the object, top left, then place it on a separate layer (CTRL+J)
With the magnetic lasso tool, select the middle object, then place it on a separate layer (CTRL+J)
With the magnetic lasso tool, select the bottom object, then place it on a separate layer.(CTRL+J
Shut off the visibility of the background layer, and merge the top 3 layers, leaving you now with 2 layers
Turn the visibility of the background layer back on
Highlight the top layer and open a levels adjustment layer above this, and clip the adjustment layer to the layer below (CTRL+G)
Highlight the background layer to make it active, and open a levels adjustment layer above this
Double click on the layer thumbnail of the adjustment layer in step #7 to bring up the levels controls and work the sliders below the histogram to bring out the foreground
Double click the thumbnail of the adjustment layer in step #8 and work the sliders to bring out the background
Open a blank layer at the top of the stack of layers in the layers palette, and create a stamp visible layer (CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E)
Duplicate this layer and change the blending mode to overlay. Apply Gaussian blur @3px (Filter>blur>Gaussian blur)
