Hi,
It seems this is a Microsoft related. You are referring on how to set JPG Image in Photoshop Elements by default. You may try visiting Microsoft's Support page http://support.microsoft.com/ for you to get the correct information/help you need.
Thank you.

    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.

  • In Photoshop Elements 11 attempting to blend two photos ( layering one on another) when I click on a brush, I get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instruction say it should do. Instead I can get the eraser to do what I need to do. Why the confusion

    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.

  • System keeps re-setting the default app to Preview for iWork files.

    Hello.
    I've scoured the internet for a solution to this problem, but can't find one.  The problem applies to Numbers, Pages and Keynote, and I am putting this post in the forum for each.  I shall explain it using a Numbers file as an example.
    For three or four years, I've had a file that was created in Numbers to be opened in Numbers; it's a spreadsheet that I update with every transaction of my bank account.
    Until about a week ago, the file would always open in Numbers, its default application, and then the file kept opening in Preview instead of in Numbers.  I checked the 'Get Info' panel and found that its default application was Preview.  This was strange, so I changed it to Numbers.  When I opened the file the next day, it again opened in Preview, and I found again that Preview was set as its default app.  This time, I set Numbers as the default app by right-clicking on the file, selecting 'Open With', and Numbers wasn't on the list, so I went to 'Other...', and in the 'Choose Application' window, navigated to the Numbers app, selected it and activated the 'Always Open With' option.
    As you would expect, the file then opens in Numbers.  However, whenever the computer has been off and I have logged in again, the default app for the file has reverted to Preview.
    The only thing I can think of that might have a bearing on this problem is a recent App Store purchase.  I bought Numbers on an iWork '09 disk back in 2008/9, but about a week ago decided to uninstall the iWork apps with AppZapper and buy them from the App Store (I just like to have the App Store as the source of my apps, and I had some money to spare).  I can’t see why this would cause the problem, but the installation of these apps and the start of the problem seem to co-incide.
    I wondered if the problem could be solved by re-creating my spreadsheet in a new Numbers file, so I opened Numbers, selected a blank worksheet and pasted the spreadsheet from the original file into this new one, but it made no difference: the next time I logged into my system, Preview was the default app for the new file as well.  The problem persists even with new files created in Numbers, Pages or Keynote that are unconnected with older files and after the App Store purchases.
    I would be grateful for any advice the community can offer.
    Thank you.

    Hello again.
    I followed your advice and created another user account, and in that one, Numbers, not Preview, was the default app for my Numbers file.  Logging back into my original account, I deleted the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file, and for good measure, the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist.lockfile as well, and reset Numbers as the default app for my Numbers file.
    I restarted the system, but found that Preview was now the default app for the file.  Perhaps the .plist file needed a second restarting of the system, so I set the default app for the file to Numbers again.  I also put Pages, Numbers and Keynote into a new folder called iWork '09, as they used to be before I replaced my shop-bought iWork disk installations with the same apps bought form the App Store.  I don't know if this made a difference.  I restarted the system and, this time, the default app was Numbers.
    Pages and Keynote are also now the default apps for files created by them.
    You have been very helpful and I appreciate it.  Thank you.

  • Windows Photo Viewer desaturates the edited photos from Photoshop?

    Do I need to change a color profile in Adobe Photoshop CS6 to prevent windows photo viewer from desaturating when viewing them after edit? I gave some edited and unedited pictures to a customer and it desaturated the edited pictures but not the unedited images.

    Well...
    The answer is simple! Go to EDIT>COLOR SETTINGS
    At the bottom you can see "Advanced Controls" - Uncheck "DESATURE MONITOR COLORS BY"

  • Every time I try to open Photoshop Elements 12, it opens the Adobe login, after I login the program does not open:( Help please?

    Every time I try to open Photoshop Elements 12, it opens the Adobe login, after I login the program does not open:( Help please?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer 12 opens minimized in taskbar

    I have a user who uses Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.  It has been working fine up until a few weeks ago.  Now when goes to open the Organizer, it opens up minimized down in the taskbar.  When you hover over it, you can see the thumbnails of the pictures.  When you click on the icon on the taskbar, nothing happens.  I went to his computer and logged on as myself and was able to open the Organizer with his photos just fine.  I looked in the log file, but there wasn't anything in there.  I checked Windows Event Viewer, Application logs, no errors for Adobe Photoshop Elements.  I renamed the psa.prf file to psa.old, so it could re-create that file.  That didn't fix it.  His computer is running Windows 8.1 64-bit.  No changes were made to his computer between the time Organizer opened just fine and not when it stopped.  Any ideas?

    Hi,
    On my Windows 8.1 system, if I right click on the icon in the task-bar, there isn't a Maximize option. If I hover over the icon and then right click on the thumbnail, I do get the Maximize option.
    The other thing to try is to change the auto hide property of the task-bar - that may reveal the organizer.

  • Photoshop Elements won't open. I have tried re-installing. I have windows pro 7

    Photoshop Elements won't open. I have tried re-installing. I have windows pro 7

     
    Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    C: à Program Files à Adobe à Photoshop Elements 9
    Within the Photoshop elements 9 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (with the blue icon)
    Select that file and click Next.
    Then click Finish.
    You should now be able to launch by double clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen.

  • Photoshop elements does not open, says "gathering user info...."

    photoshop elements does not open, says "gathering user info...."

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.
    Solution 5: Try with admin account or right click and select run as admin. or try directly from .exe

  • Photoshop Elements 6 will not bring in photos from iPhoto

    Hi -- I had Elements 4.0 and just upgraded to Elements 6 (I am running OSX 10.5.4) -- when I go to open a photo it will not let me click on them, they either disappear from the screen or I just simply can't choose a photo. What do I do? Does Elements 6 support 10.5.4? Thank you.

    To clarify the original poster's question, there is, indeed, a problem with Photoshop Elements 6 on MacOS X. I don't know what various versions are involved. It is certainly an Adobe problem.
    Do the following:
    1) Start Photoshop Elements
    2) Select File -> Open
    3) In the Apple File Open dialog, go down to the Media -> Photos link on the lower left and click it.
    4) All your iPhoto content will appear in the right. But if you try to click a file, it will get all confused.
    I'm sure this is the problem the original poster is talking about and it is a problem that Adobe should, but probably never will, fix. Photoshop Elements can certainly open and edit anything in iPhoto, but not via this path. You have to set up Elements as the external editor, or open files via drag-n-drop out of iPhoto.

    I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
    It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
    Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
    Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html
