Looking for Photo shop 6 help.

I am new to Photo shop and Photoshop element 6 came with my new Epson Scanner... I am in the process of scanning hundreds of slides that I have from years ago. Some of them are in need of help. I can't seem to find the help I need for Element 6. I am trying to fix a couple now that have a crackle look to them...I have been trying with the top photo of our son who is now 44, so that tells you how old these are.
Our daughter on the right is now 49 and handicapped so really want to try and learn this. Like I said I am new to this but follow directions well and want to learn, thank you so much.

This program has a steep learning curve. There are many books available to assisit you - check in the library.
Photoshop Elements 6: The Missing Manual by Barbara Brundage is excellent. It is available at Amazon for a bargain price, since the latest iteration of the program is Photoshop Elements 9. However, since you have v.6, I would work with that. You don't need all the bells and whistles to start with.

As for your second picture, it appears to be in better shape.
I restored the faces of the little girl and the lady with the healing brush tool, and got rid of most of the glare in the eyes. (Don't know if that is in v.6, if not, you can use the clone tool)
I boosted the contrast .
The thing to remember when restoring these old pictures is that the enemy of good is perfection. One can touch up a spot here and there with the brush tool, but it is apt to look fake when carried too far.
Feel free to repost here. There are many people who can help.

Looking for Photo Shop and Illustrater Product

Dear Sir,
we are looking for Photoshop and Illustrater product for my small business running personally on yearly Basis, please sugeest me which one is better for me.
Thanking you

Welcome to the forum.
Please give us more details on exactly what you need to do, what you will be working with and how you will need to use the output, say in commercial 4-color printing.
Photoshop & Illustrator have some overlap, BUT Ps is a Raster, pixel-based Image editing program, where Illustrator is a Vector-based illustration program. Each has its own use, even with the overlap (for instance, Ps can work in Vector, but not at the level that AI can).
Good luck, and please let us know more.

I'm looking for photo editing software

I am looking for photo editing software that is fairly easy to learn and I also want the feature of adding a splash of color to a black & white photo. I've seen there is Photoshope Elements and there is Lightroom. What is recommended?

For editing an Image, as you describe, Photoshop Elements would be my choice.
There is also a very helpful, and active Ps Elements Forum, where you will find easy instructions on doing what you describe, plus much more. Should you go with Ps Elements, that forum is: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
In general, if you have a Grayscale Image (B/W), just change the Color Mode to RGB, create a New Layer, and paint in the color that you want. However, since I do not use Ps Elements, there might be some extra things, that will help you get the desired results, and that Ps Elements Forum will be great at helping you.
Good luck,
Hunt

i have acquired windows office 2011 for my macbook but unable to open it. There are currently 3 files in the folder, 1 of which seems to be the actual program which is a hfs file. iv tried looking for programs to help me open it but failed.
when double clicking on the image it says unable to open and gives me the option to search the app store.
any help would be much appreciated

Well, first, just make sure it's the Mac version and not the Windows version (which indeed would not run on your Mac). You say "Windows Office" which is why I mention it. I think you probably just mean "Microsoft Office" though.
Next, is this on a disk (DVD), or did you purchase and download it from the Microsoft site?

I can't get uupdates for Photo Shop Elements 9. The answer is "not available now, try again later". Very frustrating.

Why can't I get updates for Photo Shop Elements 9? All I get is "not available now, try again later". Very frustrating.

Which operating system are you using?
You can download and install the updates from here:

Looking for "photo movie"

I am setting up the new iMac 20 inch. I have gotten photo booth working. I like to make a little movie with the isight camera which I could email in a common file type. I guess I am looking for "photo movie".
Robert

I believe iMovie '08 will do the trick -- IIRC, there's a selection in the menu bar to record video clips from the iSight camera. Sorry I can't give you specific details at the moment, but I'm in the middle of an OS-X re-install and haven't re-loaded iMovie, yet.

Can My free trial for photo shop CS6 be restarted?

Can my free trial period for photo shop cs6 be restarted?? I had a problem with my computer when I downloaded the free trial. My computer would not run the program because my operating system had malfuntioned and was not up dating. I had to back up my files and reinstall my OP. After reloading my files the free trial was gone. What now????

No, there is no way to extend or reinitiate a trial.

Have you tried using the app iPhoto Library Manager (VersionTracker.com)?

Looking for friends to help me get over a breakup

PSN MAGIIK-STICKZ Hello All, This is very embarrassing and quite silly that I have to do this really. It's scary that I have to turn to the Internet to look for friends to help me in this time of need. In the beginning of the month my girl friend left me, we was together for 4 years, we had our ups and downs but we always remained strong. She told me she wanted to be with me forever and I wanted the same. I've only just turned 19 so this was my first relationship. Don't want to get into too much details why she left me, but I will tell you that she has already moved on after only leaving me for a month. The pain hurts so much and I'm trying to move on because I can't... Because I have no friends... I mean I have friends but they're definitely not the ones you can count on in this situation. They're more "Gym Bros" I believe if I can find people to group with, play games with, literally just talk to that would be amazing for me. I just needs things to take my mind off of her and I believe talking to new people will do that. We don't even have to play games, I'm very open to you just in-boxing me on PlayStation to socialize. I'm opened to both males and females but if there are any females you would be helping a lot! I cut off all female ties for her for 4 years and now I have no female acquaintances so It would be nice to get experience talking to other females again just to boost my confidence back. I understand what I am asking for might sound like a lot, and I definitely understand how needy I sound, but this was my last resort of trying to get over her as quickly as I can. I've been in a really really REALLY Dark Place for the past month and I can't take it anymore. My psn/PS4 is MAGIIK-STICKZ Inbox me and I will be forever grateful !

Looking for photo frame with lots of features

Look for ipad photo frame app. One that will let me display pics from various sources, like facebook, my servers in the home, flickr.
Thanks

I tried many apps, but I narrowed it down to... Iphonso.com Air Frame.
It lets you view your facebook photos or friends', flickr via a bunch of categories, or enter tags. It includes your local photos.
It does not have the ability yet to to include your network shares, but I am hoping they include this in the next version.
So now looking at pics that are being streamed in from remote site, and at the same time listening to music that is also streamed in (via Home Sharing). Bliss.
Thanks for all your help

Looking for Photos stored on iTunes

Hi others have very kindly tried to help me recover photos from either iTunes or iCloud . I cannot find anything on iCloud either on my iPad or my laptop. I was originally talked through updating to IOS 6 with an Apple rep, everything taken off and replaced until next morning when it was blank. I went to ITunes and recovered everything lose except most of my photos, I was left with just 4 of many. I cannot see where to look on iTunes for photos.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you
Jenny

If your photos are not saved in Camera Roll, it'll not be backed up.

HT1339 I'm not sure what I did, but my computer asked me what I want the ipod to do, and now it will only look for photos or videos on my device, and will not connect to itunes to download songs and podcasts.

My computer asked to what I want the ipod to do. Now it only looks for videos and photos, which it does not find. I can't sync my podcasts or music to the device. Not sure how to fix it. It is an ipod touch.

Connect your iPod to the computer (and iTunes) and look on the Device/Music pane, as below:
You need to have Sync Music ticked, as shown.
If you have Entire Music Library checked, then all your music should go back onto yuor iPod.
If you have chosen Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres, you will see additional options for choosing which of those choices you want.
If you make any changes here, you may need to click on the Sync, or Apply, button to make the changes happen.

jaimeleighann, that MSCONFIG screen is saying that you've got a Qoologic adware infection, just like i've been saying (in all your other threads where i've tried replying to you).
try replying to answers to your previous posts rather than spraying new threads all over the show. your current posting technique is obviously not helping you resolve this.
