I just installed Photoshop Elements 8. How do I make it my defauly editing program?

Photoshop Elements 5 always opened immediately when I would click on a picture in "My Pictures". Now that I've installed Elements 8 that is not happening. How do I set PE8 as the default photo editing program?

Go to "My Pictures" and right click on any Jpeg file
Select open with > Choose default program.
Select a program from an installed list of programs > OK
Select Photoshop Elements and click OK
You will need to do this with each type of file you want PSE to handle e.g. gif, bmp etc.

Just installed Photoshop Elements 13 - how to open .eps files?

I used to work with photoshop elements, never had a problem to open .eps files.
but with the latest version photoshop elements 13 unfortunately i cannot open .eps files anymore.
Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?
Or do I have to buy another photoshop software....
Thanks!

I was rudely told by adobe there is no way to open an eps file. When I tried to respond he
canceled our chat. But I read you can make it tiff? and do it that way? I tried to no avail. I paid 119 for this upgrade and now can't do what I need to. Any thoughts anyone to solve this problem? I have graphicstock.com and a lot of their files are either, jpg, png, eps , pdf files. I don't know why Adobe
took away this and image extractor. Elements 13 is not what I thought it would be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been watching youtube videos to no avail.

I just installed Photoshop elements 11. Install fine. When I clicked to open Organizer, I received a messaging indicating that it was out of date and coudl not be upgraded. How can I address/fix this?

Thank you for the replies. I'm afraid neither one helped.
kglad, I never get to any error code so your link can't help.
Jeff, I looked at your link and
a) again, I never make it to an error code
b) I'm definitely connected to the internet
c) I can access secure sites; I tried connecting with the firewall disabled and the same thing happened, so I don't believe it's a firewall issue.
d) I don't understand the checking host sites - this is far too complicated for a novice user. It should not be this difficult to get a software running. I don't want to mess with these kinds of settings.
e) I followed the steps for the global sign in root CA and my screen looks the same as the picture here.
I can't activate the software offline as there is no option to generate a response code when I click on having trouble connecting to the internet. All I get is a prompt to change my password.
If the problem were simply connectivity from my computer, then why does the box completely freeze? Can't cancel, can't click on the little X to close it, can't right click on the box to close it. I have to reboot every single time. I know others have had the same problem and I haven't found any answers that I could apply.
I don't understand for the life of me why Adobe does not have TELEPHONE customer support. I have spent 2 days on this, this is crazy.

I have just installed Photoshop Elements for a MAC. MY photos were in iPhoto, I have 47,000 pictures and my drive on my Mac laptop is not large enough. I store my photos in iPhoto on an external drive. Can I store all my photos on an external drive when using Photoshop Elements? If so, in what format should they be stored in? I do I move them from iPhoto to the new storage location? How do I call them up in organizer? And how do I call them up to Edit? I do not want to store any pictures on my Apple Mac laptop. I want to store pictures on several external devices.

Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

I have just purchased Photoshop Elements 13. Why am I unable to access the program?

I have just purchased Photoshop Elements 13. I think it was installed. The title shows in my 'Downloads File'. I have tried double clicking on 'install' in the downloads file. All I get is a page of data that doesn't seem to do anything. When I purchased Photoshop Elements 12 there was no problem. The apps appeared on my monitor and I went to work. What appears on my monitor for Photoshop 13 is a file picure. When I click on it I go to the Downloads File. Can anyone help me?

I am unable to access the Photoshop Elements 13 program.

Ihave a photo brought up in photo gallery that I want to edit. I click on "open with Photoshop Elements". Photoshop opens, but does not bring in the picture???

Hello,
In Photo Gallery as I click on File = open with = Photoshop Elements…..elements will open but will not bring the picture into it. After reading your note, I clicked on File = open with = and clicked on Choose program….here there are two identical Photoshop Elements available. I chose the second one and it works. I am not sure why there are two and why the second one is not the default. cannot seem to get rid of the first on and cannot make the second one the default.

Photoshop Elements 3 - how can I make it work fast enough for 4' x 6' art?

I've had Photoshop Elements 3 for about 4 years and it does all I need to do with some art work, except that it slows to an unacceptable crawl when I work in large sizes, such as 300 dpi (or is it ppi?) at 4' by 6'. I also use Fractal Painter 3 and need to use both of them.... I want to do artwork to be reproduced on canvas via giclee print, but presently, I'm told my work will only blow up to a size of 2' wide. I have a Dell dimension 8300 Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz 2.99 Ghz. 1.50 GB of RAM; HOME EDITION vERSION 2002, Service Pack 3. 128 MB DDR NVidia GeForce FX 5200 Graphics Card. I would so appreciate any help in how to make this computer run Photoshop Elements 3 fast enough and reliably at the larger file sizes. Blessings and thanks for any help! Oh, and I do use a Wacom tablet with it, in case that makes any difference.

To increase editing spped for larger file sizes with high resolution , Go to Edit>Preferences>Performance and increase the Cache
Levels value to maximum which is 8 .
Setting a higher cache level improves performance by speeding redraw times.
Refer this page to get some useful tips of how to increase performance of PSE. See if it makes any difference.

When I purchased and installed Photoshop Elements 11 and Premier, do I need to update old programs?

This would be very expensive as I own Photoshop Elements 5, 8, 9, 10 and 11 and some are Premier! I purchased 11 hoping to gain more storage space!! I really like 8 and 9 best and want to use them frequently. In the past when I updated, then I had all the benefits of full memebership. This time, I keep getting messages to update for 8 9, 10. When I look it up, all appear to be registed in my name!

Are you aware that photoshop.com is going away? It's in the process of being replaced by adobe Revel. More info here:

I just installed photoshop elements 13 from disc. I launched it and started to import photos from my iPhoto. Its twice stopped at 8099 out of 9309 files. No photos are visible. How do i proceed?

Oh goodess hammer1959! Let's see what's going on with your phone. I really apppreciate all the details you've provided so far. Please try clearing cache in the camera to see if this gets resolved. When completed, please restart phone. http://vz.to/1s5uICj

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

I just installed Photoshop Element 13 and can not get it to load?

It will not go past the accept the terms page. I am on windows. Any suggestions? Almost to the point I want my money back.

Rebooting the router did not help. The phone shows the wifi site, but will not connect even though the password is correct. But, my ipad (bought last summer) doesn't have any problems connecting.

How do you subscribe to Photoshop Elements 9 Plus after you have installed Photoshop Elements 9?

I just installed Photoshop Element 9 and at the time of installation did not subscribe to Photoshop Elements 9 Plus because I did not need the online storage space. Since it appears that all artwork,( ie. frames, themes and backgrounds), are no longer part of the basic package but are available in plus, I would like to now subscribe to the online plus software. I have not been able to determine how to do this even after online chats with an Adobe technician. Can anyone help?

I have followed through with option 2 but my PLUS benefits have not shown up on my software - even though I
paid for the Plus upgrade and received confirmation email...
Can anyone help?
