Missing Tools in Elements 7

It appears that some tools are missing, or hiding, in PS Elements 7. For example, I need to use the Impressionist brush. The online help says that if  you don’t see it in the toolbox, select either the Brush tool  or the Color Replacement tool , and then click the Impressionist Brush tool icon in the options bar.
First, when I click the Brush tool, there is no Impressionist Brush tool icon in the options bar.
Second, I can't find the Color Replacement tool.
The tools on the left side of PSE 7 that have little arrows (usually indicating a flyout set of tools) don't fly out.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? A weird setting somewhere?
Thank you,.

Hi,
The similar tools are stacked on top of other. They can be accessed by pressing Right click on the icon of the tool you see on the top.
Not all tools have tools stacked. There is an arrow below the tool icon to indicate the stacked tools. You just have to press right click to open the stack.
For Impressionist brush, All sorts of brushes are stacked in one stack.
Brush tool stack contains : Brush tool, Color Replacement tool, Impressionist tool and Pencil tool.
While the first three have the same "B" hey as shortcut,, Pencil tool has "N" as tghe keyboard shortcut.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Swarnima

  • How can i view all the missing files in elements 12?

    I have a very large catalog and there are now a few hundred files missing due to me moving or deleting them outside of elements.
    Is there a way to display only the missing files in elements so i can work through them and decide to search for them manually or delete them from my catalog?
    thanks for any help
    Lee

    If you are in Elements Organizer12, go to Find > All Missing Files
    It will show all the missing files present in your catalog.
    Thanks,

  • Depth of Field tool in Elements 11

    I have a problem with the depth os field tool in Elements 11. When I add focus, the focus area becomes a black smudge, is there a fault?  Your help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    OK, in case it makes any difference, what operating system are you using?
    To me, it looks as though you are trying the simple method.
    Are you clicking on the Add Blur button first?  - Does the image go out of focus after you click on the button?
    After that, then you select the area to be in focus as mentioned above.
    It is important to do things in the order top to bottom.
    The guided mode really uses layers, one of which is the black mask you are seeing. For interest sake, if you manage to get it to work properly, if you switch to Expert mode, you will see the layers it has created.
    Good luck

  • Text tool in elements 10 has taken to locking up computer

    Any attempt to use text tool in elements 10 has taken to locking up computer. I do not want to pay for an upgrade until I know that one of two things will happen: 1) the upgrade will fix this situation, OR 2) there is a way to repair the problem so that the upgrade will install properly

    Select the T tool and try a reset - see image below:

    If you mean that the Details section is no longer visible, then right-click on one of the other section titles like Basic or Tone Curve, etc, and put a checkmark next to Details.
    If you mean that the Details section title is visible but you can’t see the sliders, then just click on the little triangle next to Details to expand the Details section to see the various sliders for Sharpening and Noise Reduction.
    If neither of these is what you’re taking about, then please show us a screenshot of the righthand panel in Develop.

  • Where do I find Quick Selection tool in Elements 12

    Where do I find Quick Selection tool in Elements 12

    You need to be in Expert mode, so if you aren't, click the word Expert at the top of the editor to go there. Then it will be to the right of the lasso tool. It shares a slot with the magic wand and the selection brush, so just click whichever is visible and then you can change tools in the tool options area at the bottom of the screen.

    Please try it with version 3.7. You can find it at
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3591
    To install with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0:
    1. Exit Photoshop Elements and Adobe Bridge
    2. Open the Finder
    3. Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user's home folder).
    4. Navigate to:
    (Please read directory carefully)
    Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats
    5. Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
    6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in,
    Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4.
    7. Launch Photoshop Elements or Adobe Bridge.
    Also make sure that you don't have the Nikon raw/nef plug in installed and over riding the Adobe one. Sorry, I don't have a Nikon to be able to tell you the name of their plugin.

  • I cannot find the shape tool in element 12-thank you.

    i cannot find trhe shape tool in elements 12

    Just to the right of the eyedropper, above the pencil tool. It will show the icon for whatever shape you last used, but click whatever's there and go to the tool options at the bottom of the window to select the shape tool you want.

  • Missing tool buttons on Property Inspectator

    I'm using Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 and having trouble with missing tool buttons within the property inspector. These icons, such as the Italic button, disappeared. I know, crazy right?! I feel i must have pressed something to make them disappear. Can anyone out there tell me how to get these button icons back on my property inspector. Please!

    It's definitely not the HTML button. I wish it was that simple. It is also not because it's a different version because I looked on screen examples of CC 2014.1 and it has these buttons for sure. Thanks for trying though.

  • Transform tool in Elements 4 not working

    I'm trying to use the transform tool in Elements 4. All seems to be well until I hit the return key to activate the changes and then nothing happens. The image remains on screen with the transform perspective change visible but it doesn't actually make the change. I use an iMac with OSX.10.5.5
    Can anyone offer advice?

    No, what I did is still there visible on screen but not applied to the image. I'm finding it quite hard to explain using the correct terminology but if you visualise pulling the top triangles in so that two triangular sections appear on the edges (giving me, if the change would be applied, sides that are parallel to the sloping verticals in the image - which is the distortion I'm trying to correct), then committing this change, the marching ants disappear, the two triangular sections on the edges remain visible but no correction is applied to the image.
    Does this help to describe my problem? Even more relevant, perhaps, is that I tried loading PSE3 into a PC and exactly the same problem emerged with transform perspective commands.
    I'm sure you are right about my workflow. There is some fundamental issue that I haven't addressed properly. I don't need Photoshop much for the sort of work I do. Almost everything is well handled by Lightroom. So I haven't actually used this part of Photoshop since giving up CS2 in my old PC.
    Thank you again for your patience in trying to resolve this.

  • Where is the line tool in Elements 12? I used this a lot in Elements 7.

    I cannot find the line tool in Elements 12. I cannot draw lines with arrows at all. Does anyone know what happened?

    Are you using Premiere Elements 12 or Photoshop Elements 12? And, on what computer operating system is the program running?
    If you are talking about Premiere Elements 12/12.1, there is a line tool in the Shape section of the program's Titler. No arrows however unless
    you try to draw them in with additional maneuvers of the line tool there.
    If you are referring to the line tool in Photoshop Elements 12. The line tool is in with a group of tools.
    In the screenshot, look to where I have the red arrow pointing in the toolbox. If it is not displaying there as the line tool, then click on it, which brings up the Options Bar for that tools group. Then select line tool in that Options Bar. The line tool options will be displayed in the Option Bar.
    In the above screenshot, the custom shape tool was showing originally in the toolbox, with its options in the Options Bar. And, I next clicked on the line tool in the Options
    Bar to use change the choice to use it and its options..
    Photoshop Elements questions should be posted in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum.

  • Where is the patch tool in Elements 13?

    Have they removed the patch tool in Elements 13?

    Elements had never had the patch tool, only full photoshop. PSE has the healing brush, the spot healing brush, content-aware move, and content-aware fill and you should be able to use one of those instead.

  • Tools Missing in Photoshop Elements 4.0

    I'm using a Mac with Photoshop Elements 4.0 and several of the tools on my toolbar have disappeared! SO Frustrating . . . I've tried reseting prefrences, nada. I would try increasing screen resolution to see if they just got dragged out, but its already on the biggest resolution possible.
    It seems like this should be an easy fix! Please help!

    Barbara,
    Thanks so much! I got out of quick fix and they were still gone, but then tried going to Window > Tools in standard fix and they all came back. Hallelujah! Thanks again! :)
