I just got photo shop elements 12, I dont seem to have a full inventory in my tool box, it only shows 6 tools or so and I dont have the eraser. Any reason

I dont seem to have a full inventory of tools, I am missing the eraser as well, it only shows 6 tools

As I have just told another user, this is not the Elements forum.  Ask your question here:
Photoshop Elements
You need to tell them what operating system you are using?  Have you had previous versions of Elements installed on that computer?  Are the tools missing completely, or just greyed out?
Have you tried restarting your computer?  Did you notice any glitches during the installation process?
With Photoshop, a first step to resolve similar issues is to reset Preferences.  in Photoshop you have to hold down Shift Alt Ctrl (Shift Opt Cmd) immediately after starting Photoshop.  I think the same process works with Elements.
Good luck

    Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
    Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

    You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
    Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

  • Uninstall photo shop elements 6

    I bought a new V500 epson scanner from Staples about a week ago.  When I tried to install photo shop elements 6 the install got down to 38 seconds left and froze up.  I turned the computer off and then on again.  I found that the photo shop was not completely installed and it won't allow me to uninstall either.  Iwould like to install and then reinstall.  How can I uninstall photo shop?  Thank you for you help.

    You have corrupted the system registry
    You need to manually delete the program folder, and then buy a registry repair program
    This one is good http://www.macecraft.com/
    You also need software to make a full hard drive backup to an external USB drive
    Hardware crashes or virus infections happen, so you should buy software to make a full backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus making step-by-step backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step if something doesn't work
    This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-Activate if you change very much hardware)
    The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
    Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
    Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or re-activate a single program, from Windows on up

    I followed the instructions on the Web site to uninstall Photo shop elements 12 in windows 8.1 and when I did as it said there was no box to tick for deactivation so I carried on..  Can I just go ahead and install on another computer ?

    I don't know what instructions you may have followed, but as long as you "signed out" , then you will be fine.

  • Is there a Dutch /Nederlandse version of Photo shop elements 7.0

    I have installed a version 7.0 from photo shop elements  where in the start I was able to change the country to DUTCH ,the licence agrement changed to Dutch and was hoping that the program was in DUTCH after installation ,This was not the cash .
    Is there a download /update for this .

    Hi Jeff
    Thanks  for you email .
    The family in Holland was using a trail version of 7.0 and have bought a element 7.0 book to get working with photo shop .
    They liked the program and bought a version in Holland and installed this and was surprised that this was not in Dutch but English
    Having a Book for 7.0 and buying a new version 11 is not a option now as they have just spend 90 euro for the software.

  • How do I retrieve my photo shop elements 10 photos?

    how do I retrieve my photo shop elements 10 photos?   

    Photoshop Elements never stores the photos just links to them. They will be in the same location on your disk that they always were.
    If you are looking for photos on photoshop.com, Adobe shut this down last year. Compatible photos will have been transferred to a Revel account for you with the same ID and password - https://www.adoberevel.com/signin. Note though that PSE10 does not integrate with Revel like it did with photoshop.com.
    Cheers,

  • IPhoto, Adobe Photo Shop Elements, & Photo Files

    Just noticed that Photo Shop Elements is on sale this week.  If I purchase/download it, will I lose my iPhoto library?  I have version '09, 8.1.2 (424).  I've never upgraded to a newer version of iPhoto for fear of losing my library, based on some of the comments from other forums.  I do have my computer backed up via a LaCie drive and have had to reload my library once before. (It's very scary when you think you've lose 30K photos!)

    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Screenshots are from PSE 10
    Note 1:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
    Note 2:  editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

    Trying to download Photo shop elements free trail and it is asking me for serial #.  Where do you find free trail Serial #

    There is no serial number for a trial version.  You get the serial number when you purchase.  You should be able to select an option to continue with the trial if it is not indicating the trial is over.  If the trial is indicated as over, that can happen prematurely for a variety of reasons.

  • Please help me with photo shop elements 9 for

    Is there a book for learning Photo Shop Elements 9 for getting your memory card downloaded and then making and editing movies?  Or is there a class in the Chicago, Hoffman Estates, Barrington, IL area?
    [email removed]
    Message was edited by: Brett N

    You can get the Classroom in a Book from http://www.adobepress.com (a susidy of Pearson). This will take you through pretty much everything, from start to finish.
    If you are looking to edit movies though, you will need Premiere Elements (the sister program to Photoshop Elements, which is used for editing images).
