Is PSE 8 an 8 bit only editor?

I'm currently using the trial version of PSE 8 for MAC and noticed anything I drag out of Iphoto to edit creates a JPEG @ 8 bit instead of the original raw, I figured out I have to export images to maintain the raw format and then open in PSE 8, it shows it but if I want to do any editing at all it says I have to create an 8 bit version. What's the point of shooting raw if you end up throwing away half the data just to edit (I believe the original is 16 bit). I called adobe and asked he said when you buy it you get 16 bit editing but wasn't sure and suggested using the forum, is this true?
Thanks,
Harry

There is a way to do 16 bit layers in photoshop elements but it's kind of a drawn out production. Of course first open your 16 bit file in the editor then select the move tool. Make sure show bounding box is checked in the tool options. While clicking on your image Alt-drag (windows) or Option-drag (mac) with the move tool up just a little. Release the mouse button and your background layer will be duplicated to a new layer above the original layer. Then release the alt. or option key and move the newly duplicated layer down until it snaps to the layer edges. To check the alignment of your new layer in relation to the background layer, set the new layers blending mode to difference. If you see solid black then your aligned. If you see colors then use the arrow keys to nudge until you see solid black. Once your aligned set the blending mode of the new layer back to normal. You can repeat this for as many layers as you need. Every version of photoshop elements seems to be different in what your allowed to do in 16 bit, so you will just have to experiment and see what your version permits in 16 bit. This should work in photoshop elements versions 3 thru 8 probably not in versions 1 or 2. While support for 16 bit layers is not as good as photoshop you can still do more with multiple layers than with a single layer. Also while you can save the image with the layers intact, if you try to reopen it in photoshop elements it will flatten the image in 16 bit or convert it to 8 bit with the layers. I know this looks like kind of a long process, but once you do it a couple of times it's easy.

Is it still possible to create a 32-bit only iOS app?

With the latest AIR release (17), is there any way to still create a 32-bit only iOS app for testing on the iPad 1? It's currently not possible to install an app with 64-bit support on an iPad 1 to test the app. My understanding, however, is that Apple will do something on their end that will allow apps submitted to the App Store (with 64-bit support) to still be downloaded and installed on an iPad 1. Having a way to test on the iPad 1 before submission to Apple would be nice.
Is there a compiler switch or something that can be used for this purpose? If not, could such a switch be added easily? If we had such an option, we could continue testing on and supporting the iPad 1. Being in the education market, this is kind of critical to us.
Thanks,

Because an app built with 64-bit support *cannot* be installed on an iPad 1 device for testing purposes, whether using iTunes or Xcode. It simply doesn't work. This is the message generated by Xcode:
This is when trying to install an app built with Flash Builder 4.7 and AIR sdk 17 beta.
As I stated before, my understanding is that Apple will still allow installing apps on an iPad 1 through the App Store, but *only* through the App Store. In my opinion, this is too late. We really need a way to continue testing on the iPad 1, if at all possible. That's why I'm asking if there's a possibility of adding a compiler switch of some kind that would allow building 32-bit only apps, for testing purposes only.
Thanks.

I have a new (mid-2011 27" Imac with 2 Thunderbolt ports each driving one 27" Thunderbolt display. The 3 displays work perfectly in OSX Lion but in Bootcamp 4.0 with Windows 7 (64 bit) only 2 screens come up. everything is up to date. Anyonce who can help

I have a new (mid-2011 27" Imac with 2 Thunderbolt Ports each driving one 27" Thunderbolt display.
Graphic card is AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 2Gb of VRAM. All works 100% in Lion but
in Bootcamp 4.0 running windows 7 Professional (64 bit) Only 2 of the 3 screens work not all three.
Tried updates, calling Apple etc. But no luck. Windows doesn't recognize the 3rd screen while
checking on the driver in windows is tells me it's the latest and best available. ? In VMware
Windows 7 also works fine over three screens so windows can do it. But I need it natively to
work. (i.o.w. in Bootcamp). Does Anybody know how to solve this, or if Apple is working on a
solution for this ? It really hurts to have one of these expensive screens staring at you being dead.

PSE 7, Vista 64 bit, freezes up, will not save as

New to PSE 7. Just purchased and really really disappointed with the quality so far. I am trying to resize and crop a photo and then save as into another file to send via email.
I can open PSE 7 and open the photo. I can resize the photo and crop it, but when it comes to saving, saving as it either doesnt not generate the new saved as file or the whole program locks up.
PSE7 has been updated, and registered.
Windows Vista 64 is up to date.
I have not had any other issues with ANY other programs from deisgn software like Autocad and down. Adobe PSE seems to be the only problem here.
I have not reistalled PSE but may and see if that fixes anthing (doubt it)
Was purchased with PRE 7 as package.
Thanks for any help

Installing with Anti-virus going can lead to all sorts of issues...
Since you are using Vista, I'd suggest turning off UAC (User Account Control) also during installation.
Make sure you are running Elements in an Admin account and that you have the Elements set up to "Run as Administrator." (Just in case: Right click the Elements launch icon and select "Run as Administrator" from the menu. This setting is sticky so you only need to do it once.)
If that doesn't cure it, have a look through this Adobe tech troubleshooting doc:

PSE 12 support 64 bit Windows 8?

Does PSE 12 support 64 bit Windows 8. Note promo material trumpets support of 64 bit Mac but appears silent on Windows.

Hi,
The error 1935 usually means there is a conflict with something else that is running - you could try this.
First off, restart your system.
Then try stopping the windows update service. Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services (or use the search charm). Right click on Windows Updates and select Stop.
Now disable any antivirus that you have running.
Try the installation again.
Turn back on the antivirus and start the windows update again.
Good luck

Win 7 x64 - possible to install CS4 64-bit only?

Is it possible to install only the 64-bit version of CS4 on Win7 64-bit ?
I do not really need to keep both versions (I do not use many plugins).
Thank you

The general advice is to install both 32- and 64-bit version but there is a read-me on the installation disk which tells you how install CS4 64-bit only.
Quote:
If you want to install ONLY the 64-bit application follow these steps:
1. Run the Photoshop CS4 installer.
2. Enter your serial number. Click Accept.
3. On the right side of the Options panel under the 64-bit heading, uncheck the box for Adobe Photoshop CS4 (leave the “Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64-bit)” option checked).
4. Finish installation.

PSE 10 as Aperture 3 External Editor

Hi, im brand new to PSE 10 and have configured it as my external editor in Aperture 3. On my first try I have come up with 3 questions that im hoping someone will be able to help me with.
1. How do I get PSE 10 to work with the newest version of my image?
After editing the photo in PSE, it appears in Aperture as it is supposed to do. However - after further editing in Aperture then sending back again to PSE, it shows the first version i worked with in PSE...to the stage i left it at, and not the update edited version of the image in Aperture (hope thats clear)
2. How to prevent bleeding into other areas when using the healing brush?
The reason I had to go back into Aperture for further editing (described above) was because the healing brush in PSE 10 could not seem to detect edges properly and looked a bit of a mess. I was working on a portrait shot with a dark background & the outline of the person blended with the background. Is there any way to detect edges so this doesnt happen, some setting ive missed?
3. Can u unistall Organiser?
Im very happy with how Aperture organises everything and have no wish to use the organiser. Without even asking me, it copied all my photos into it (which im sure is taking up valuable disk space) Im wishing i had purchased the mac app store version now, which doesnt give you organiser. Is it possible to uninstall this?
Thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to help : )

Organizer never imports your photos on a mac unless you tell it to, and unless you import from iphoto it doesn't make copies when it does import. The actual disk space required is relatively small since organizer is just a database. You can't uninstall it unless you want to uninstall the editor, too. Just ignore it.
The healing brushes depend very much on the brush size. Don't use a bigger brush than you need. If the spot healing brush picks up areas you don't want, try the regular healing brush, where you option click to tell it where to sample for healing material. They are usually not a good choice at the edge of a high contrast area. Try the clone stamp there instead. Also, sometimes making a selection before you start with the healing brush can help to restrict it, but at the edge it may not give better results.
Your problem with aperture versioning is normal. Programs like aperture and organizer don't actually create new images when you change things--they keep a sort of set of instructions for their own use in recreating that state of the image when asked. You may find you need to export the image as a new file to get aperture to write those changes in a way that other programs can see, but I would ask this in the aperture forum at the apple support communities. (I don't use aperture, myself, so can't say exactly the best way.)

With PSE 7 Unable to Open Organizer, Editor, Create, Share

I am new to PSE7. I installed the program in Jun and have only played with it some. Last night I used the program with no problem. This morning I opened the program and the Welcome Screen comes up. I am able to sign into photoshop.com. However, when I click on Organizer, Editor, Create or Share everything disappears. Can anyone help me?
Thank you, Linda

Thank you for your response. I tried step 4. When I clicked on the link
I get an error message, "Error "Licensing for this product has stopped
working" when you start any Adobe Creative Suite 3 application." I am a true
computer novice and I did not know if this applies to PSE7 or if Adobe
Creative Suite a different application. Should I follow the steps that pop up
from Adobe Tech Support or should I start with step 1 and try the steps in
your link?
Thank you so much for your help,
Linda

Strange problem in PS CS4 32-bit only

I'm having a rather odd problem and haven't been able to find any discussions of something similar. I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 64 SP1. I have both the 32- and 64-bit versions of PS CS4 installed with the latest updates.
64-bit PS works like a champ. I love it. Were it not for a variety of plug-ins I use which are not yet 64-bit enabled, I would never use the 32-bit version of PS. However...
When running 32-bit PS, the program acts as though I have some key or mouse button either pressed or like I'm repeatedly pressing a key. Sort of. It doesn't try to do something on its own - that is, if I open a file and sit here doing nothing, PS won't do anything on its own. I will, though, see the cursor flashing oddly.
If I attempt to do anything, I end up fighting with the "phantom" keys. Sometimes, I need to press a key several times before it reacts. Often, I'll get warning sounds like you hear when you press a wrong key for a particular state. Certain actions won't hold sufficiently long to let me do something. I just ran into a stubborn problem like this. If I click the crop tool, I cannot type into the width, height, or resolution boxes on the tool bar. I can click there, see a vertical cursor appear for an instant, then it's gone.
This is driving me nuts. I wish my plug-in vendors would get their acts together and add 64-bit compatibility, but so far only Imaginomic has done so with Noiseware (and I'm grateful to them!).
Other info: I'm running with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard as well as an Intuous 3 tablet. I have an nVidea GeForce 8600 GT video card. I've tried disabling OpenGL in PS without help. Note again, 64-bit PS works brilliantly with all these. I'm running plug-ins from OnOne (Plugin Suite 4) and Nik (Viveza) as well as Noiseware mentioned above. I tried logging in with my wife's ID to see if any of my settings might be to blame, but it behaves the same with her ID. I'm not sure if this problem showed up with the PS update or if it was there from the start. I'm thinking it did not show this problem when I first upgraded to CS4. I was using CS2 previously, and it's still installed on this computer. It does not exhibit this problem.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Tony

Mylenium - thanks. I also was suspicious of the tablet, but the tablet is not in use when this problem shows up. Nevertheless, I uninstalled the Wacom driver, removed the tablet connection, rebooted, and the problem persists. But, I did get a chance to install a new version of the driver (April 2009).
Like I said - strange problem. Since it doesn't crash PS, there's not much data. No error message, no stack trace.
One other tidbit. I still have the crop tool selected. If I load an image and place the cursor over the image window, the cursor changes between the crop cursor and the big white arrow. Back and forth. When it's doing this, if you want to use the selected tool, you have to click right when the tool's cursor is showing, otherwise you get the "bing" noise.

PSE 7 and 64 bit Windows Vista

I'm looking into buying a new desktop with 64 bit windows vista installed. I currently use Photoshop Elements 7 witih 32 bit vista. Will I be able to use the PSE I have with 64 bit?

Yes, it will run in 32 bit mode on the 64 bit machine.

does Java 6 only run on 64 bit systems......
From the downloads page, I clicked on system requirements and was taken here:

Notice that there are two columns, on that says 64-bit after the platform, and one that doesn't.

PSE does not show iTunes external editor

I have PSE installed (ver. 9.0.3) but it does not show in the drop down box in itunes for external editor. Am I missing something?

Did you download the iLife 903 updater? If so, run the installer. It facilitates the communication between apps like iPhoto and iTunes.

Elements 6 Organiser will not open, only Editor

I have trouble opening the Organiser of Photoshop Elements 6. I had the program open earlier, while loading pictures from a memory card, and it behaved and closed normally.
Now when I click on the Photoshop icon, it won't open at all. I have tried various ways, and if I Explorer to choose a photograph and "Open With", it only gives me the option of Photoshop Elements (Editor). Nothing happens when I click on the Organiser icon inside the Editor.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
Just do one thing, close all the procese running in the background for Elements
Then launch from the explorer :
-- if its launches on the first screen , then drag theat window the second screen and maximize that scrren , as u maximize it may dissappear, then close all the processes again, and now try to run the organiser from shortcut, this time it should launch on the second screen
-- if its launches on the second screen , then minimize that scrren , as u minimize it may dissappear, then close all the processes again, and now try to run the organiser from shortcut, this time it should launch on the first screen screen, and then u may drag that again to second screen and repeat the first step as mentioned above
This should work, i have tested it
