In Photoshop Elements 11 attempting to blend two photos (layering one on another) I click on brush and get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instructions say it will do. I can get the eraser to do what I want. Why the confusion???

I click on brush and get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instructions say it will do.
The Brush tool (Keyboard B) has several different brushes in the same slot. Right click on the brush icon and you will see them, or press B sequentially.
The Smart Brush tool (Keyboard F) has two items in the slot.
Since you did not provide reference to "the instructions", it is difficult to remedy the "confusion." that exists.
I suspect that the recipe calls for a mask, and painting with a black brush to mask out certain areas.
It would help if you post the instructions and what your goal is with more specificity.

I just downloaded CS6 and the doucmentation says I should have HTML5 Video as an option under Insert Media and I do not. why?

I just downloaded CS6 because the website said I could link to .mp4 videos with the new features. I did not download the CC because I was told by support that it is the same as CS6 but you would be billed monthly. I was following the instructions to Embed video in HTML5 and I followed all the steps until the step for Insert - Video and select HTML5 Video. My software does not have this option. Why? this is the page I got my information from:
Adobe Dreamweaver CS6: Embedding video in HTML5 | Adobe Inspire Magazine

No need to duplicate replies. This is a web forum so replies are seen by everyone.
The plain hard truth is CS6 on perpetual license is not the same software as CS6 on the Creative Cloud. Version 12 will never get new bells & whistles added to it. But 4 months after CS6 came out, the Cloud version received 2 significant upgrades that totally changed the software from what you have. This fact frustrated many Cloud users who were trying to learn CS6 from text books that were rendered obsolete by Cloud upgrades. Anyway, it was a very confusing time for everyone. And that's why there are 2 versions of CS6.

Im trying to hook up atv but the instructions say to select input and I cant get that far. I have plugged in the hdmi cable and the power cable and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

I am working with a hotspot only and maybe thats the problem?

Is this a cable modem? It has to be off for at least 20min and sometimes much longer before it will give up the old settings. You might even need to power down the cable modem overnight.
Tell us exactly what broadband you have with what ISP and exact model of modem..
The new TC cannot be setup without using the latest airport utility 6.3.1 or 6.3.2 and you need Lion - Mavericks to use it.
The computer also needs to have ipv6 setup to local link on whatever you are connecting with, wireless or ethernet.

Can Photoshop Elements be used on scanned photos?

Can Photoshop Elements be used on scanned photos?

Yes. It’s also possible to scan directly into the application. In Elements 10, you may need to copy the Adobe TWAIN driver, if your scanner requires it, from the optional plug-ins folder to the Import-Export folder in the main plug-ins folder.
You will need to copy the plug-in Twain_32.8ba
Copy from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Optional Plug-Ins\Import-Export
Copy to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\en_US\Plug-Ins\Import-Export.
On Macintosh, copy the ImportModules folder to plug-ins.
Copy from:
//Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 10/Support Files/Optional Plug-Ins/
Copy to:
//Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 10/Support Files//Plug-Ins/
N.B. The app store version of Elements has a different file path.

Where can I find the Java SE 6 runtime download so I can get Adobe Photoshop CS5 up and running again.

Where can I find the Java SE 6 runtime download so I can get Adobe Photoshop CS5 up and running again. I have to go this route. Currently on my Mac, I need to be running Java 7.65 for work-related stuff. I went to the Java site, but could not find anything that simply says "Java SE 6 runtime" ... Or, is there another way to get CS5 up and running with my recent Yosemite download?

No, I can't go that route. I have to stick with my current Java 7.65 ... Our IT department said just to download SE6 Runtime separately ... If I was understanding that correctly. Or, can you have two different versions of Java running ... 6 ... and 7.65?

My Photoshop Elements 12 is downloading two copies of each photo and there is no Automatically Stack RAW AND JPEG Option in the Download Box.

Anwesha,
Yes.
I have clicked on it, selected “Stack” and all is now fine, with both versions of the photo readable by “unstacking”, using the side arrows !!
Thanks for that.

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?

I just installed Photoshop elements 11. Install of the application was 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.

Using photoshop elements 6.0 - converting raw photos files to dng, how/where do I add metadata?

Using photoshop elements 6.0 - converting raw photos files to dng, how/where do I add metadata?

Metadata can be added in Properties panel. select a file and hit Alt+Enter. It will open up Properties panel. You may drag drop tags on the media and do File > Write tags info to files to write tags in file metadata.
Thanks

I purchased Photoshop Elements 11 from B&H Photo on August 13, 2013. Now there is Version 12

I purchased Photoshop Elements 11 from B&H Photo on August 13, 2013. Am I elegible for an upgrade?

I don't think so because only purchases within the 30 days of new release qualifies for free upgrade. however, some countries have different rules and your best bet is to phone your local office of Adobe and speak to them and be prepared to send them (via email and/or fax) proof of your purchase so that they can consider your status.
Also, it is a good idea to register the product (this is separate from activation of the product) so that there is yet another proof of purchase.
Good luck.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

You are rude, to say the least. It is adobe's fault for marketing it as compatible. Yet another reason why I want nothing to do with adobe. The fact they marketed it as compatible when it is not is what I have a problem with. I am not blaming the software, I am blaming the company.

Welcome to the Apple community Jack.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
This article provides more information about Activation Lock.

Trying to install Elements 13 and it asks for a serial number. The instructions say the number should start with 1057 but there is no code on the disks, box or envelopes the disks came in that start with 1057. I cannot activate the software without this code and it is a Christmas gift to my wife. HELP!

I had this problem. There are actually two boxes. The outside one with the photos and stuff and glued into it is another box containing the disks. That box has the serial number. Adobe was NO help with this as if no one else ever could not find it. I had to rip open the outer box.

We had a MacBook Pro stolen from our home when we were out of town and I am pretty sure we never activated the LoJack type of function on it not sure if its called lojack but you get what I am saying is there any way we can activate such hardware/app now so we can possibly recover our laptop? Any one who can point us in the right direction that would be great and we would be very grateful. Thanks So Much

Lojack for laptops - if that is the product you purchased and installed, you will need to read the user manual or contact the manufacturer as it is 3rd party. You did file a police report right?
