Kerning on Photoshop Elements 10
There used to be no issue with Kerning/letter spacing with elements 10. Then suddenly I can not adjust it. Yes, I have tried Asain alaternative 0 but that only helps a little.
Is it fixed in Photoshop 12? Is there a discount to upgrade?
Click once on your desktop so that you are in the Finder. At the top of the window you should see this:
You will see this menu:
Now hold down the Option key and you will see the Library:
Choose that. In the window that opens, scroll down to see the Preferences folder. It's easier to find if you have your window in list view. To do that, click this icon at the top of the window:

Kern text in Photoshop Elements?
I am trying to find text kerning in Photoshop Elements 7.0. Am I missing it or is it not included in Elements?
There IS a way to "kern" test in Elements. It's laborious but works (nothing else does).
Step 1: Start typing your text.
Step 2: Place a space between letters to be kerned.
Step 3: Select the space and resize it … for example if your text is 60 pt. select 30 pt.
Voila.
You can do the same with Line spacing
Hit return a few times and then select the "empty" spec and resize it up or down.
It's manual and requires a few trys but works nicely. Have fun! -
Photoshop Elements 4.0 unexpectedly quits when launching
I just installed Photoshop Elements 4.0. Every time I try to launch the program it starts to open and then unexpectedly quits and gives me the option of reporting it to Apple. I've installed it four times and this happens each time I try to launch the program. The installation goes fine as far as I can tell and I restart the computer each time.
I am running OS 10.3.9 on a PowerPC G4 with 640 MB of RAM and 108 GB available on the hard drive, so there shouldn't be a problem with meeting the System Requirements.
Power Mac G4, iBook G3, Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.3.9)After reading your response, I think I repaired permissions (in Disk Utility, right? Click on the disk and then on Repair Permissions). I tried several more installs, repairing permissions before each one. That didn't work, so I created a new administrative account and tried installing from there. I did that a couple of times, again repairing permissions before each one. PE still crashes when launching.
My computer is on 24/7, with a backup to my external hard drive scheduled for each night. Since I first installed PE, my back up software has also been unexpectedly quitting. I did a backup after completely shutting down my computer and it worked fine. Won't know until tomorrow whether the automatic backup will work.
I checked the Adobe support for PE and tried some of their suggestions, including going to Console to identify software conflicts. I didn't find anything there, except that the crash log says it's a kern problem. Does that help at all?
I've never had a problem with installing software before. Should I erase my disk and reinstall everything, or is that a last resort?

Where is the help in Adobe Photoshop Elements 13?
I've just purchased Adobe Photshop Elements 13 but can't find any proper Help. When I click on Help on the File menu, I am taken to a web page (Photoshop Elements Help | Photoshop Elements Help). It doesn't matter what I am doing (e.g. using the clone tool or trying to apply kerning for example), I always end up on this same non-context-sensitive web page. I am an experienced user of graphics software but am new to Photoshop Elements.
I'm trying to kern some text characters so I entered "kerning" in the Search field. The first "hit" was InDesign Help | Kerning and tracking but nothing they say seems to apply to my particular version of Photoshop Elemts - whcih being V13 is hopefully the latest. And who are they? Are they an official voice for Adobe? Their "help" was way off.
Could someone point me to the Help for Adobe Photoshop Elements 13?
As an aside, why does Adobe hit one with a 27 page legal agreement before one can install the software? I confess I didn't have my lawyer with me and may not have read all 27 pages.sirram69 wrote:

I don't believe that you can kern in PSE as it comes out of the box. However, there is a very affordable add-on which allows one to do this. It is version specific.
About Elements+
BTW, Elements 13 itself is really good. I'm really pleased with its features and ease of use. It would just be nice to locate the relevant help more easily.
There are available several books which augment the native help files. Photoshop Elements - The Missing Manual - by Barbara Brundage is excellent. I have no commercial connection to the author or to the publisher. Don't hesitate to come here to the forum for help. There are many talented contributors. We look forward to your progress. -
Is There a Text Tool in Photoshop Elements?
I have probably overlooked this somewhere, but before purchasing I need to know if you can add text to a photo in Photoshop Elements for Mac.
Thanks,Yes.
Here's the Mac Photoshop Elements 8 live help with info on the type tool.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PhotoshopElements/8.0/Mac/Using/WS20318B17-B34E-4deb-90D6-A66F 1723A734.html
Note: The Elements type tool doesn't support tracking and kerning. This link explains what tracking and kerning is along with some more info on the Elements type tool although I'm not sure which version this is...probably E7.

Using Adobe Bridge with Photoshop Elements
I have an iMAC with iLife 08.
I take photos in RAW format with a Nikon camera.
I have been editing photos this way:
After uploading photos to iPhoto, export them as jpg to a new folder on the desktop, external HD or wherever. I open Photoshop Elements, edit the exported photo.
Then I'm stuck with my edits outside of iPhoto, unless I then import them back into iPhoto. It works, but it's cumbersome.
Today I thought I'd try a different route. I opened Photoshop Elements, and tried to use Bridge to browse photos. I can find the iPhoto library easy enough, but if I click on it, it opens iPhoto, and I'm stuck - can't open the photos in Photoshop.
I am hoping that if I do it correctly, I can save my edits directly back into iPhoto.
Any ideas?Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
How many computers can you use one copy of Photoshop Elements 11 on please?
I intend to purchase Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for my two student children. Could you tell me if they will both be able to install in on their respective computers?
One copy of the software can be installed and activated on two computers but a) they must be used by the same person and b) not at the same.
Your intended use is not in accordance with conditions set out in the End User License Agreement (EULA)
http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/Gen_WWCombined-MULTI-20111031_1230.pdf
2.1.3 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1.4, the
primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed under Section 2.1 (“Primary User”)
may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer
or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home
Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer.
You should purchase two copies of the software giving each of your children the ability to use the software on two computers. -
I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for along time now. When I first used the program I had a different printer than I have now. Although I changed printers I never removed the software from my old one. Now this was never a problem until today. When I choose a printer I still had option to use the old one but always chose my new HP Envy 5530 and Adobe never had a problem printing from that new printer. However today I decided to remove my old printer from my computer and now my Adobe cannot find my new printer. How can I make it find the HP printer?
Try this --
Go to the bottom of the link I gave you, and you will see
click that link and then click the chat button to talk to an Adobe agent -
I installed a new printer and now Photoshop Elements tells me I can't print. The error message is "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing." I have uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop Elements, checked my printer settings and still I can't print a photo.
Hi ,
Please update to PSE 13.1
13.1 has solved this problem.

Photoshop Elements Help | Printer errors with Photoshop Elements 13 -
I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
“Welcome to Aperture 3.2
Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
Current Library Location:
Jadzia (home) -----Pictures------Aperture Library
QUIT UPGRADE”
I have heard horror stories about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
So here is my dilemma. I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop. Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file. For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

My Photoshop Elements 9 stopped working a couple of weeks ago. When I clicked the PSE button nothing happened. I tried this several times over a few days and it still failed. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it. It worked well. Then I tried to install the Update 9.0.3. The download was almost successful. When it was about to show 100% successful for the download, an error message said the installation had failed and that I should try later. I tried this many times over a few days and the same result occurred. I tried troubleshooting and the answers to questions, but I could not find an answer. I don't know where to go to see if anybody has answered my question. How can I install Update 9.0.3?

Keyword and Metadata Integration throughout Adobe Modules
Thanks! That's helpful.
What I mean by "common metadata", is a unified, updated, most current metadata, which I could update in each program. That is without overwriting the metadata, but appending new keywords to the metadata I created in the previous program.
I use Bridge, then Lightroom and finally Photoshop. That's the regular workflow: Bridge for preliminary sorting and and adding some keywords; Lightroom for organizing and picking the best images; finally, Photoshop for processing. I got Photoshop Elements on trial. Doesn't work for my purposes.
I need to share and update the metadata / keywords when I go from one program into another. Can't retrieve metadata I set up in Bridge into Lightroom. Same happens with Photoshop, where I can't retrieve keywords I add in Lightroom. It's tedious to write up the keywords again.
Thanks for your efforts! -
I have hundreds of .mod files which are supported but I am unable to view them on my Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I cant see the picture icons as pictures or see the vision when i select them? I am running the latest Windows 8.1 PC with heaps of Ram and memory. If I import the files into Premiere they play fine?
Thanks Curt and 'Mylenium'
I did re-set the prefs - but to no avail
I checked and my graphics driver and audio is all up to date.
No sure how to verify Windows Media Player's hardware acceleration options. I opened WMP Options /Perfformance tab and under Cd the DirX tab is checked.
Running Windows Vista - so does the same caution apply regarding a re-install of Windows Media Components and DirectX ?
Appreciate your help with this somewhat frustrating issue. I am converting some old 8mm film to avi with the hope of doing some edits then burning to DVD.

We have been using Photoshop Elements 5.0 a lot lately to organize many photos into collections. A new problem just arose when creating a new collection.
As we named the new collection and clicked on "OK" it replaced another existing collection with the new name. The photos from the old collection were still there but now under the new collection name. This happened at least three or four times, each time a different "old" collection was renamed. Does anyone know why this would happen?
This past week we have added at least 20 new collections with no problem prior to this. Adobe actually had to shut down when this happened. Each time we reopened Adobe it would happen again randomly renaming a different "old" collection when we tried to add the new one. Any insights would be much appreciated.Thank you - that was the problem and now it is working correctly
again!

Help with Photoshop Elements 7
Hello,
I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 running on Windows Vista. It will not open and all my photos are in it. Help
Where are the photos stored? Should I reinstall Photoshop Elements 7 if I do will I lose all my photos that are in it.
Thanks for your help.
DanEveryone
I am not sure what part of PSE will not open. It is my 72 year old mother who lives in the USA that is having the problem. I was there briely. What I saw was the blue icon on the desktop that said PSE would do nothing when you clicked on it. Same with the menu. She has all her family photos in it so she is very upset.
My understand is PSE 4 is also on the computer. I wasn't there when she installed PSE 7 so who knows what happened.
I think the first step to be done is to find the photos on the local disk.
I sent her a message telling her to look under My Documents Pictures for a Adobe folder and open it and look for the pics there.
My question is should she reinstall PSE 7 if the pictures are there? Does she have to remove it first?
Remember she is 72 years old and not good with computers at all.
Thanks for all your help!
