Menubar problem in PSE9

In PSE9 I am having a problem with the Menubar (i.e. the one that says, File, Edit, etc.) at the top of the screen. Instead of the bar appearing, there is only a small triangle that I must click on to see the bar. I know the cause of this problem. It is due to the dpi seting of my computer screen. This problem first appeared in PSE6. The issue has persisted in all versions up through PSE9. (In a Dec 2 post on this forum Bob Gager, an Adobe employee, referred to this Menubar issue and said, "The Organizer Menubar going away is one of the known problems if you set your monitor to something higher than 96dpi".)
In previous PSE versions the solution to the problem was to check "Use system font" in preferences. Unfortunately, when I try this solution in PSE9, it does not fix the problem..
Is it true that the traditional workaround for this issue is not effective in PSE9?
Thanks for any help.

Help guys

Problem using PSE9 Brush Tool!

I am experiencing a problem using the PSE9 Brush Tool. The color does produced by the brush not match the color of the sample picked by the Eyedropper Tool, Painting near the area where the sample was picked-up results in a much darker color.

Check the blend modes for the brush tool in the tool options bar.
Also if your painting on a blank layer check the blend modes in the layers panel.
Either way try the Normal mode.

Problem with PSE9 - Receiving message window - CAHeadless Debuger Event.

In my last request for Technical support (Case # : 0181931685), I have 2 problems. One about inability to remove PSE9 and reinstalling was corrected by following instructions from Tech.Support. The second problem is still with me. The message window CAHeadless Debuger Event is poping up with the message ...\...\Src\DataManager.cpp-410. The window is having one button <Continue>. When I press the Continue button, everithing work and look OK until next time the windows pop-ups. The computer is new Dell Studio 8100 running OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64. Originaly I started using PSE9 on old Dell with Windows 7 Home premium 32 without any problem. Any advice how to stop this un-plessant message comming?
Thanks a lot! George.

Hi all,
this case is closed it was catalog issue. I corrected this by creating new catalog and importing pictures from hard drive. All is now correct.

MenuBar problems

Everything works as it should, except when I click the actions menu button the JLabel covers up part of the drop down menu. If I resize the window smaller so that the drop down menu is longer than the window itself when clicked, it shows up on top of the JLabel. Why is this happening??

OpenGL problem with PSE9

Hello,
On a Windows XP SP3 machine with Intel processor and Gigabyte graphics card with OpenGL 3.1 I use Photoshop Elements 9
When I choose for a Pan & Zoom transition in the slideshow mode (with Full Screen, F11) a Adobe message is saying that my system does not support OPENGL.
I have the newest version of the AMD (ATI) catalyst drivers installed.
Graphics card Gigabyte GV-R577SL-1GD
Motherboard ASUS P5Q3
How can I check my system if it is fully supporting OpenGL?
Is there a solution for this issue?
Thank you in advance.
Kees
Message was edited by: Vartiala
In the meantime I have tested my system for OpenGL with GPU Caps Viewer version 1.14.4 from www.ozone3d.net. Done all available tests. No problems or restricted capabilities during the tests.
Remains that PSE9 is still detecting that my system does not support OpenGL.

I found a similar Post about OpenGL in this forum, titled : Elements 9, OpenGl not recognized on Radeon 5670 of 18 Apr. 2011 9:16 PM

Hi,
I've installed the video card driver directly from the Nvidia website, and also checked with GeForce Experience, all is clear.
For Photoshop, AAM don't display any update for him, only for After Effects CC (http://puu.sh/hdX68/54d5595104.png). I've tried with a manual installer, but he's saying "Updates can't be applied. This corrector don't work in your case." (http://puu.sh/hdXzX/040d671391.png).

Menubar problem

I dont know what happened but now when I open maya personal learning edition, the bar at the top and bottom of computer screen hides it self. I have to click out of the program for the bars to return. I thought that it was the maya program so I reinstalled it. But the same thing happens. It's frustrating because i need to access the program's menu bar. Is this a problem that i can fix?

If you are really running 10.0.x that may be the problem. Mac OS X versions prior to 10.1.5 are very poorly supported by third parties. I'd purchase at least Jaguar, if not Panther or Tiger and upgrade your machine. Backup your data first.
I'd also contact Maya and verify their system requirements and make sure you don't have any menubar based software which might interfere with its loading. Many third party menubar utilities are very disruptive on programs that need more menus from it. Especially Appearance Manager extesions such as APE from http://www.unsanity.com/ also known as http://www.haxies.com/

JFrame (menubar) problem

Hi,
I have a JFrame with few JPanels on it ( those in turn have JButtons etc). JFrame has the ussual menubar ( set using setJMenuBar) . Menubar is not accessiable using <TAB> . All other items are. Any ideas?
Thank you in advence for any help.

Why do you want it to be accessible through pressing tab?
If you haven't noticed, you can't <TAB> your way to the menubar in any normal GUI application on any platform.

Try a KeyListener.
Usually JMenuBars are accessed with ALT + FirstLetter
Add a KeyListener which supports that!

PSE9 on iMac running Mavericks "some updates failed to install"

Yet again Adobe is convoluted, unintuitive and troublesome! Every other app on my iMac updates and installs faultlessly yet Adobe again presents problems.
Has anyone else had this problem updating PSE9? Why don't Adobe provide an error code that I can look up?

You should be able to download and install the updates from here:
Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Macintosh
In older versions of photoshop elements, the updater never worked, even when the applications were brand new.
I think the problem is that the Adobe Application Manager needs to be updated to a newer version, but since there will be no more updates for pse 9, it may just be better to install the two updates
from the link above and leave well enough alone.
Anyway here's a link to the newest Adobe Application Manager

PSE9 & 10 photos dates are changing

Having problem in PSE9 & 10. When importing the batch of images and organizer, it changes the dates of the images automatically, some images are showing in correct date sequence and some photos timings are getting change and taking the current time and date. How to resolve this problem so all the images should show in the correct date taken sequence.

If your problem is that raw files & jpegs taken at the same time come in with different times taken, the only way I found to fix them is to select the files with the incorrect time (in my case they were .nef files and the time shot was 5 hours off) and use the adjust time & date function and shift the number of hours by the correct amount (time zone correction). A pain in the rearend but it works. Doesn't seem to happen with version 11. Hope this helps

PSE9 Won't Open in Win 8.1

I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 from my purchased program disk on Win 8.1. The program opened one time after installation, but now I get an error code of 213:19. It has to do with registration, but I obviously put in the registration number when I installed the program. What do I need to do to make the program work?

Rave,
Thanks for the quick response to my problem with PSE9.
I have followed the procedure outlined in the fix instructions, but the program still will not open. I note that the instructions are for Win 8.0. I am running Win 8.1, and I suspect that therein lies the problem, although, as I stated, PSE9 did run one time.
I read on the Microsoft website and other places that for most users PSE9 is simply not compatible with Win 8.1. I regret that since I enjoy using the program so much. I will keep retrying the fix instructions and keep looking for another solution.
Thanks again for the help.

PSE9 Photobook Printing Issues

I recently created several photobook in PSE9 and printed them through Kodak Gallery. The first two books printed with not issues. However, in the third book one small portrait oriented photo was rotated to a landscape format in the printed book (the image is oriented correctly when viewed in PSE9 organizer and editor); I just let that go as a fluke. However, in the fourth book, there were about 14 instances where a portrait oriented image was rotated to landscape in the printed version.
Note, that I had created and printed about 20 photobooks in previous PSE verisions without this problem occuring.
There was a "connection" issue with some of these recent books, as the images that were loaded into the photobook formats were moved from the local drive to an EHD after the books were created. When I tried to print the books the first time, I got an error indicating that some images were not "connected" so I had to go through each page and replace the images so that there was a connection. Not a big deal, but still this causes me some concern.
I have contacted Kodak and their technician indicated that I was using their old website (he used the term "classic") and suggested using their new site. Perhaps PSE9 is still connected to the old/classic site for Kodak Gallery?
I am looking for options on how to ensure that the images that are loaded into the photobook file will be printed correctly. Is is a layers issues (too many layers to be successfully uploaded to KG.com)? Would flattening each page take care of he problem?
A more involved solution might be to create the photobook, then save each page as a jpg file, then create a new photobook where the only image on each page is the full size jpg version of that page (so the jpg is now "frozen" and there is no way to rotate an image within the page), then print this copy photobook (still a .pse project file, but now each psd file in the project only has one full-page jpg image). A few extra steps, but perhaps this will esure a correct print job. Do you see any problems with this approach. It is a fix, but not a solutionto the underlying communication problem betweenn PSE9 and KG.com.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I have about 6 more photobooks in process and I would like to get a handle on this printing problem.
Thanks,
Allen

Airport issue after update - Status grey / Connection OK - Solved

Hello All,
Just wanted to share an issue I had that was driving me nuts, and then the final solution.
Ever since the recent airport extreme update, my airport status has been broken. The menubar icon has shown up as grey / no signal, and when I click on it, the only option I have is to 'turn airport on' which when selected does nothing.
In spite of this, though, my airport connection for my preferred network is working fine - I just can't select a new network off the list (there is no list, even in internet connect)
This has been a problem since the airport extreme update. Nothing I did seemed to help. Finally, I called apple and spent 45 minutes on the phone with them, doing the obligatory pram resets and power management resets, etc. Nothing seemed to help. We found a way to enter networks manually (go to system prefs / network / airport and add your network there) but the status problem was still there.
After I got off the phone, I went to the apple support page and found the airport extreme software update and downloaded it manually and installed it.
Manually Downloading and Installing the airport extreme update again solved the problem.
I don't know why the software-update version didn't quite work, but installing the update from the website did solve the gray / broken airport status menubar problem.
Just thought I'd share that with everyone, as it's been driving me nuts for the better part of a week.
Cheers!

I would like to confirm that update worked for me too. Actually, I didn't need to do it manually like some of you did. It worked straight away after automatic software update.
My problem was occasional inability to connect to my wireless router. The problem would have been solved by SSID change manually on the router and reconnection.
After the latest update, everything is working flawlessly.
I have (not so known) OZENDA router and didn't have Parallels installed.

Cannot open iPhoto pictures in PSE12

I have a Mac with OSX8 and have previously been using PSE9 without any trouble. I've recently installed PSE12 but it cannot access the pictures in my iPhoto library for editing, even though I've changed the iPhoto settings to use PSE12 as the external editor. When I right click a picture in iPhoto and then click "edit in external editor", PSE12 opens but the worksurface is empty, and I can't figure out how to open the picture for editing. I have no problem editing photos that are on my desktop, so the problem seems to lie in communication between iPhoto and PSE12. I never had this problem with PSE9. How do I solve this?

You have probably chosen the logical file instead of the correct one. You want to choose this file:
