Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop Elements forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

  • I've been using my wireless router to go online for years...

    I've been using my wireless router to go online for years with no problems.  But every since we moved and changed internet services, I can't go wirless anymore.  We went from having DSL through Cavalier to DSL through Verizon at a different home address.  The error messages I get say that there is little or no internet connectivity when I have the router connected to the modem.  I've tried using the Linksys router installation CD, but it always stops at the point of configuring the router because it says there is no internet connection.  I have an external Linksys wireless card and it shows a good signal when it's inserted.  The IP address still says http://192.168.1.1.  I've tried powering everything on and off numerous times. Is there something else I can do to be wireless again?

    Can you get an internet connection if you connect directly to the modem?

  • I have been using Photoshop Elements 6 for many years. Should I upgrade?

    I edit a lot of photos - travel, renovations, projects and family. I am happy with Photoshop 6 but since I have been using it for so many years I am curious as to what I am missing out on by not upgrading? I don't want a resource hog and I don't want to lose any of my current functions and I don't want to be overwhelmed by major learning curve. Have simple things like auto smart fix improved?

  • How do i fix this, i have only been using Photoshop elements 11 on my computer, now it's saying ' could not complete your request because file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements' BUT I HAVE ONLY BEEN USING THIS PHOTOSHOP.

    Photoshop Elements 11
    Only Been using it
    saying ' could not complete your request because file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements'
    What do i do

    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?
    If you can load the editor, which version of camera raw do you have loaded? - see Help -> about Plug-in -> Camera raw

  • I have been using Photoshop Elements 8 for years. All of a sudden, the cropping tool changed: I cannot crop vertically or horizontally anymore--only diagonally. This has made it impossible for me to get the photo I want. I hope someone knows how to fix th

    I have been using Elements 8 ever since it came out, and all of a sudden the cropping tool has changed: I can no longer crop horizontally or vertically, only diagonally. The up/down/side arrows have disappeared! Please help if you can, I'm no longer able to make my photos look their best. Thank you in advance.

    Quit the editor (Quit PSE on a mac). Then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • Using Photoshop Elements to scan but iphoto for slideshow

    I use an Epson V600 to scan old photos, which runs on a Photoshop Elements program. I am creating a slideshow for my grandmother's 90th birthday party, and I prefer to use iphoto for the slideshow. What is the best FORMAT for the photos as they are scanned, and how do I transfer to iphoto? Thanks for the help!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Scan the photos and save them in a folder. When you're finished scanning import that folder into iPhoto. This will give you just one Event with the photos in it. If you import each photo after it is scanned you'll end up with a separate event for each photo which can be a bit of a pain.

  • Can I use Photoshop Elements to create digital flyers for sales & marketing?

    Looking to create digital flyers to be emailed and used on social media ads.  Is photoshop elements a good tool for this?

    It's certainly possible to do it, but there are many other programs, like almost any desktop publishing program, that will give you more options more easily. PSE is at its best as a photo editor, not a page layout program.

  • I have been using itunes on my windows based pc for years but since installing the latest itunes update I have been getting the error message A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes. (-42404)

    I have been using itunes on my windows 64 bit laptop for years but since downloading the latest itunes 10.7 update whenever I opened itunes the error message 'A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes (-42404)'
    Itunes would still load and play music in my library and I could still sync my ipod but when loading a CD itunes would not recognise the album/tracks and I would need to type them manualing after uploading.
    I have just bought the new iphone5 and went to sync the phone with itunes. itunes recognises the iphone when plugged in via the usb port or when wi fi is turned on but itunes will not allow the phone to sync.
    I spent over an hour the other morning speaking to apple customer support and have ensured I have administer right and that UAC is turned off.
    I was taken through msconfigure and adjusted the startup tab but still no joy.
    In the end I was e-mailed instructions on how to uninstall and then reinstall itunes and component parts.
    Now that I've uninstalled itunes when I try reinstalling I get the following messages during the download.
    The 1st message is;
    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application  Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    When I click ok the next message that appears sometime later during the install is;
    Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) Failed to start Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    The options I have are to abort, retry or ignore. If I retry the same message comes back and if I  abort or ignore the download continues and I then get the following message:
    'Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes Helper. Please uninstall itunes, then reinstall itunes again. Error 2'
    After attempting to reinstall itunes only some components were installed however itunes would not open.
    It would appear many people have experienced problems with this latest download!

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Why are my photos suddenly in JPEG format when taking them from camera card to IPHOTO - which then wont let me download into a file! Help been doing this for years and something has suddenly changed in the last 2 days to my camera? or IPHOTO??

    I am away for a year and have been downloading pictures from my camera - a FUJIFILM EXR compact for the last 15 weeks into files on my mac using IPHOTO no problem...suddenly in the last 2 days I have tried to do this and IPHOTO opens the pictures ok but wont downoad them as they are now JPEG?  have I switched something over inadvertently or what - help please!!!!  many thanks

    sorry maybe Im not making my issue clear...thanks for answering anyway:
    over the last years- but 15 weeks specifically I have downloaded photos from my camers card- putting it straight into the apple mac and then opening IPHOTO then i am able to click and put the pics into my folders in IPHOTO but as of 2 days ago - the camera card went in, the pics opened BUT there is an error message which states iphoto cannot save them to file......as they are JPEGS
    I can see that others too have had this issue and there are 'answers' but I am a complete novice and cannot understand the answers given and need someone to 'hand hold me' through a step by step this is what you must do....
    so hope that now is cleared as to why there is a 'problem'

  • Every time I click on photoshop edit I get a message that the program has crashed. I' ve been using photoshop elements for two years and nothing on my computer has changed. My software was downloaded and I have no disk.

    WHat can I do to make the program work as it has before?

    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

  • Using photoshop elements 12 as external editor for lightroom 5

    When I have been in lightroom....then used elements as external editor....the photo does not save back to light room...how do you do that?
    thanks

    This issue has been reported numerous times in the last few months on this forum and the elements forum. Surprisingly the solution for some has been to save the file in PSE with the "save as" command instead of the "save" command. I know, this is the opposite of what "they" say but after seeing that solution in the forum several months ago I started following this rec and have not had a problem since, when before I too was having problems with the edits in PSE being saved back to LR 5.3. I don't know whether this is a bug in LR or PSE but there have been enough reports that it clearly is an issue. Adobe, however, is strangely silent on this. Imagine that! Anyway, give that a try and see if that works. Can't hurt.

  • Can I use Photoshop Elements 8 to create menus for Encore Project?

    Is there a way to create menu buttons in PS Elements 8 for an Encore project or do I need to upgrade to PS CS5?
    Thanks!

    I have never used PSE, but my understanding is that it can only edit Button Layer Sets, and NOT create them. This might have been added in PSE 8, but one would have to check.
    Now, PS (the big-brother) has no such limitations, and I use it for Menu creation.
    One workaround, if my first paragraph is correct, would be to do the Menu creation, sans Buttons, then Import into Encore and use the Menu Editor to add Buttons from the Library. Just choose a Library Button that is somewhat close to what you want. Now, PSE should allow you to edit that created Button Layer Set.
    As Ann mentions, be very, very careful with the necessary naming conventions. Those are critical.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • When i try to use photoshop elements 12 the ALT key for cloning brings up a brush pallet instead of letting me clone

    when i try to use the ALT key in cloning it just brings up a brush pallet instead of letting me clone can you advise me what to do as i have been trying for days @@@

    No you don’t need to uninstall iPhoto but are you trying to edit a photo from the iPhoto Library?
    If so export a copy from iPhoto to the desktop and then open that copy in the Elements editor.

  • I've been using Iphoto as a primary download program for years. As of today, when I click a thumbnail to open the photo, I get a black screen with an exclamation mark on some shots. Also, these shots can't be dragged into Adobe Bridge. Would love help!

    I use Iphoto as my primary download tool, then drag images into Adobe Bridge. Just today, when I tried to open a photo by clicking a thumbnail, all I got was an image of an exclamation mark and I couldn't drag the shot either. These are images I've successfully opened and dragged before. I would love guidance from anyone who knows a fix for this. Thanks!  John

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto?
    As Larry says, your workflow doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If you're using iPhoto only for downloading then you're best off using Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) and just keep the whole database element out if it. If you're using iPhoto also to organise, then what are you using Bridge for? Anything you do in Bridge - or Photoshop - is unavailable in iPhoto if you work this way.
