I cannot open Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor. I am working on a Mac. I get this message: "Could not complete your request because of program error". If I am in Organizor, that message will have a black box below it that says "Loading the Adobe Photoshop

I was using the program yesterday.  I am just learning the program. I learned to download pictures by opening I-Photo and directing the edit process to Elements Editor. Then I stored the pictures in a album in Organizer. This morning when I turned the program on, I received the message above.

Oh, dear.
If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

    tworules,
    You haven't mentioned the exact version of Photoshop you are running.  As the always helpful and knowledgeable JJMack told you, new versions of Photoshop do have auto save and recovery when enabled in your Photoshop Preferences.
    However, no auto recovery and/or autosave is a match for a defective machine.  As suggested by Mr. Cox, you should do a thorough inspection of all your hardware ASAP.

  • I have an existing disk of elements 3 which I loaded onto my Mac desktop.  When loading onto my Mac book, I receive a "could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information". Why?

    I have loaded elements 3, from disk, on my mac desktop, when loading onto my macbook i get a message "could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information".  Why?

    Thank you for your fast reply!
    Sorry, I am not savvy enough to know what a serial is!  Guess that means stealing it.  No, that is not me.
    Hmm...
    I thought sure it was free with the computer, along with a whole package of other stuff.  It was a sale/special.  Everything else still works, except the Photoshop.  I bought the Mac new at the Mac store in Marin County...
    Maybe it came with the printer I bought too...? Who knows now.
    The computer is several years old (copyright 1983)  and I had money then!  LOL!  It's the economy, my dear!
    Do not understand 'software'... I just use the computer. I told you I am a technophobe!
    You must be young:  I am very old, and did not grow up with computers.
    But now from your reply, I think it must have been a free sample, or whatever...  or I am confused!
    I have IPhoto... that must be what came free with the Mac.  But it doesn't work either.  I get a message: need to upgrade, but then it says it is not responding...
    Anyway, thanks again!
    P.S.   As I said, I had everything stolen, and do not have any registration info.
    But I appreciate your reply.

  • Photoshop 7.0.1 stopps with "Could not complete your request because ... error"

    Hi,
    I bought a new Computer changed from XP to Win 7 Home Premium.
    After Installation of Photoshop 7.0.1 on the first look everyting was fine.
    But after some time i tryed to use the selection tool and after that the paint bucket.
    This worked one or two times then Photoshop stopped with the screen:
    "Could not complete your request because of a programm error"
    I tryed tu use the compatibility mode for XP SP3 and XP SP2.
    The same error appears.
    What can i do?
    Best regards
    Rheintrutz

    Got a 1 Tb Harddisk - but this Harddrive works on xp and PS7 before.
    But this seems not to be the problem.
    I coppied the .psd Files to the 250 Gb large System Disk C.
    Then i tried to work from there.
    Unfortunately the same problem...

  • Photoshop CC 2014, "Could not complete your request b/c program error"

    I've not seen this since the early CS days, and generally found Photoshop CC to be extremely stable.
    However since starting to use CC 2014, I've had this happen six times - not in a row, just at random occasions doing completely unrelated things.
    Exactly three times it's happened on PC1, and three times on PC2.
    PC1
    980X i7, 24GB RAM, Quadro K5000 (332.76)
    PC2
    Xeon x2, 128GB RAM, Titan Black x2 (337.88)
    Both installed on SSDs, with external SSD scratch drives (plenty space free).
    I figured it may be prefs migrated from CC, but PC2 is a clean install (and no cloud syncing, it's just running in trial mode at the moment) so I guess I can cross that out. Also there don't appear to be any posts reporting this since CS6, which makes it a bit strange that I get it happening on two unrelated installs.
    So, being at a loss, does anyone else have any idea why this might be happening?
    Cheers

    Thanks for your reply, as it means I can post one of my own - I was
    logged out immediately after posting my AdobeID wasn't being recognised
    so I couldn't edit my own post to add more detail...so I can now, but
    anyway don't get my started on that.
    So yes I know more information is needed. As for searching for
    vagueries, there's a big difference between "Blue Sky" (very good anime
    movie) and "Forum poster ate my dog and spat it back in my face,
    site:adobe.com".
    Here are the specific events in order, over a period of the past week:
    1. Selecting a layer.
    2. Pasting a 512x512 image from clipboard into a layer
    3. Dragging an image from disk to the canvas
    4. Selecting a layer
    5. Trying to apply guassian blur filter (error on selecting the panel.
    6. Selecting a path.
    This is in Windows 8.1, working on RGB 8bit/channel documents with a
    reasonable number of layers (>50,nested). There's nothing special about
    the documents, no TypeKit fonts or Smart/Linked Objects (exception being
    #3, trying to drag an image from desktop to the active doc).
    All documents affected were less than 4,000 x4000 pixels, and the errors
    only affected the active document - other open documents could be saved,
    even edited, and closed safely.

  • Problems installing plug-ins (and even Adobe updates) to Photoshop CS5 Extended on a new Win7 64-bit laptop.Instead, a message box pops up on the CS5 screen saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."

    Problems installing plug-ins to Photoshop CS5 Extended on a new Win7 64-bit laptop.  (Same CS5 and plug-ins installed OK several years ago on a Vista laptop.  Now I'm just trying to migrate everything over to the new laptop.) Even some Adobe updates won't install.  Instead, a message box pops up on the CS5 screen saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."   Any solution?

    CS5's automatic update mechanism is broken, perhaps because it is no longer updated and can't cope with the newer ways of updating.
    So this means you will have make a list of the updates that failed, go here: Product updates
    and manually download/install from there.

    The file was corrupted somewhere along the way (assuming it was still readable on the Macintosh).

  • Photoshop elements editor Could not complete your request because fo a program error

    I am running PSE 8.0. On some of my photos I cannot save the image.
    Even if I do no editing on the photo and just do a "save as" in a completely
    different folder I get the error message Could not complete your request
    because of a program error.
    I have set the RAM preferences to 1100MB and the history states to 20.
    What is the program error?
    Looking at the discussion forum, this problem has been there since 2007.

    I would suggest you to reset the preferences file of photoshop elements and then try. Follow these steps
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.

  • Could not complete your request because Photoshop Elements cannot recognize the file extension. (-25600)

    im trying to add a water mark to multiple photos but I keep getting  Could not complete your request because Photoshop Elements cannot recognize the file extension. (-25600) error. how do I fix this?

    If you open up editor then expert mode then you click file and the it's manage multiple or something like that. It will pull up a box asking you where you would like to get the photos from. I picked a folder where I just edited the skin tone and then saved it. I'm thinking it has something to do with the way the files save but I'm not sure how to get it to change. But after the box comes up you can add a water mark to all the photos in the folder. I found the video of how to do it on here.

    If you are working with a file you modified in Lightroom, you should go to the Lightroom Photo menu and choose Edit in... and the version of Photoshop you want to open it in.
    There a dialog will ask if you want to transfer the LR settings you made to your photo when you open in Photoshop.

    Which operating system are you running on?
    Do you get this error when loading or using the organizer or the editor?
    What are you trying to do when you get this error?
    If you are using raw files, which camera (make and model) do you use to create the raw files?
