Maryrhire910 I am sorry that you are facing difficulty downloading and installing Photoshop Elements 12.  Are you downloading the installation files from Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10?  If so what specific error are you receiving?

  • Cannot get Photoshop Elements 10 Trial to Install - Windows 7 64-bit

    Hi,
    I cannot get Photoshop Elements 10 Trial to Install - Windows 7 64-bit.  I downloaded the trail of Photoshop CS6 just fine.  I am trying to download the trial of Photoshop Elements 10.  I get the adobe installer window and I login in and select my PSE 10 Trial and the installation begins and I have it saved to my desktop.  When the installation finishes nothing happens.  There is a Photoshop Elements folder on my desktop but it is empty.  I have tried a couple of time with the same result.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hi Ken,
    I apologize for not making myself clear.  What I meant by "saving to desktop" was when I I went to download the the trial of PSE 10 the install window will ask me where I want to save the file.  It is defaulted (highlighted) to save to "my documents" but I selected to save the file to my desktop.  I tried to install the trial of Photoshop Elements 10 again and this time it did install and is working.
    Thanks again for responding.

    What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
    In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

  • Can't get Photoshop Elements 12 to begin installing on my Windows 7 laptop - got software through Wacom?

    Hey guys, bear with me here because I am the opposite of tech-savvy and I'm getting really frustrated. I can't find answers anywhere and nobody in my family has been able to help.
    I recently bought an IntuosPro drawing tablet from Wacom - it came with the option to download a few different programs, including Photoshop Elements 12. I downloaded it through Chrome onto my (brand new) laptop, which has Windows 7 as the operating system. When it was done downloading, I got a zip file. (I'm literally going to list just about everything in the stupid thing) I opened it, and there were two files inside - "PhotoshopElements_12_All.7z" and "PhotoshopElements_12_All.exe". Double-clicking the second one gives me a pop-up saying "The file archive part of Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 is missing. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. Please download all parts." (Which made me download the whole thing again, only to get the same response and waste my second download - you can only download it twice off of Wacom.)
    Opening the other file gives me two more folders - "PSE 12" and "ReadMe". Nothing in the ReadMe folder works. In the other folder there are 3 folders at the top ("ElementsOrganizer" "ElementsSTIInstaller" and "SupportFiles") then Data.cab files numbered 1-19, "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.msi" (which takes me to the installation wizard thing but tells me there's an error "Please install/uninstall the product using Setup.exe in the root folder" (I don't know which one is the root folder but none of the .exe's I've found have worked) - all the .msi things do this.) then "ols_config.xml", "ols_config_education.xml", "Setup.ini", "lang.dat" a bunch of .mst files, and at the bottom, "Setup.exe"
    When I click on Setup.exe, I see a flash of a little loading screen window, then it jumps to the "Do you want to allow this program to make changes to this computer?" or whatever pop up, I click yes, nothing happens. Pretty sure that's the place where something is supposed to happen, because the first response I've gotten from everyone in my family is to "click on the .exe file"
    Am I missing stuff? Am I just really stupid and need to do *fill in the blank*? Is it a problem with Wacom? My computer?
    Please just tell me how to make it work.
    Thank you in advance.

    How do I do that? I'm the only user on the laptop - I kind of assumed I already was running the install as the admin.

  • Just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 including Photos 1.0 which is not syncing with Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Editor (already installed)....any ideas?  Using MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012)

    Just upgraded my  MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012) to Yosemite 10.10.3 including Photos 1.0 which is not syncing with Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Editor (already installed and prev ok with iPhoto)....any ideas please?

    In iPhoto it was possible to go into the iPhoto prefs and set up Elements as an external editor. After using “Edit in” the image was saved back to the iPhoto library. Photos for OSX is very new, so I’m not sure whether that is possible with the new app. Have you looked for the prefs/settings? You could ask a question on the Apple forum:

  • I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Element

    I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Elements, I keep getting the message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. I have tried reinstalling Camera Raw many times, and have tried to open many different raw files in Elements, and still get the same error message. Please help.

    How did you try to install ACR 8.8.  The only way I know of that works with Elements is to use the Updates Choice on the Help menu.
    There are two charts supplied by Adobe that explain your RAW dilemma.  This one tells you what your camera needs:  http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html   This one tells you what version of software you need:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    In your case, the Nikon D810 needs Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.6 or Lightroom 5.6.  (Congratulations on buying a new camera!)
    To get to that level with Photoshop Elements, you will need to replace your Photoshop Elements 12 with version 13.   Adobe caps ACR updates on version 12 at 8.5.
    The most convenient way to get around it without spending any money is to use the FREE from Adobe DNG Converter.  Download and install it from here for FREE:  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5855&fileID=5890  Once it is installed you can convert your D810 raw files to an Adobe RAW version with the .DNG file extension that most, if not all, versions of the various Adobe software programs can use.  That includes old versions of Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom.  DNG converter can be used as the tool to move your files from your memory card to your computer, is efficient, will convert in batches and is completely lossless.  There is no risk of any image quality degradation or RAW functionality.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Download

    I purchased the Photoshop Elements 9 in late 2011 and installed on my computer but would like to install on my lap top but it wont install the disc. How can i resolve this problem? I think the hard drive is not working on my lap top.

    Q1: do you have the serial number for PSE9?
    Q2: how are you drawing a link between PSE9 not installing from DVD and the hard drive failing? Any error messages?
    If you need to download the software, you can get a trial version from
    point your browser to http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-9-premiere-elements-9-direct-download-links.h tml
    follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first
    click the link to download the relevant trial
    launch the trial
    enter your serial number to convert to a full version
    None of that will help you if you lose your hard drive though, so best to get hardware issues sorted out first.

  • Can't get Photoshop Elements 11 to install. Adobe Installer message: Installer failed to initialize.

    Can't get Photoshop Elements 11 to install.
    ... Adobe Installer message: Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.   
    ... Adobe Support Advisor message "Inspection could not identify any issues. Please contact Adobe Support for further assistance. http://www.adobe.com/support."
    ... .... So far I have downloaded twice, to two different folders (Desktop and my default download folder). Neither option has worked.  Please help!  I'd like to download Premiere Elements 11, but with this kind of installation problem on PSE11, it seems a second program may be as much of a problem to try to install.

    As Mylenium has stated all we have is a very general error message at this point so it is impossible to advise you until we have additional details.  Please review your installation logs by following the steps listed in Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-install-using-logs-elements.html.

  • How can I get photoshop elements to open my nef images?

    How can I get photoshop elements to open my nef images?

    The D3200 requires at least ACR 7.1, which isn't compatible with any version of PSE prior to PSE 11, so no, you can't do this directly in PSE 9.
    You could upgrade PSE, use the Nikon software to convert the files and then open the resulting images into PSE for further editing, or download the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEFs to DNG files that your version of PSE can understand.
