Movable elements of a layer - option "free transform" in Photoshop Elements 7

Hello,
I hope that someone can help a little bit and answer my questions. Thank you.
Description of the task:
I want to create a tool which is able to visualize the positions of pieces on a game board. At the moment I'm using Photoshop Elements 7.
I think the following procedure would be appropriate:
2 layers, the basic layer would show the game board and the images of the pieces would be on the second layer. If I try to do that with Photoshop Elements 7 then each time when I insert an image of a piece a new layer is created. I don't need a layer per figure. Yes, one could reduce a layer afterwards. But it's not so comfortable this way.
In addition the images of the pieces should be movable on the game board. There is the option "free transform" in Photoshop Elements 7 but only one element (one piece) is movable afterwards. All the inserted elements should be movable.
So my question: Is it feasible within Photoshop Elements 7? If not, which version of Photoshop Elements would be adequate or which software do I need? 

  After adding each piece use the to menu:
Layer >> Merge Down
However you will only be able to move all the pieces together. You need separate layers to move the pieces individually.

    Hello,

    Thanks.

    After I downloaded the file, a pop-up says "This type of file can harm your computer. Do you want to keep PhotoShopElements_13_WWEFDJ.dmg anyway?" then, there are the options of Discard or Keep.

  • In iPhoto the option to edit in photoshop elements  has vanished

    The option in iPhoto>pref>advanced>Edit in>Iphoto or PSE (Photshop Elements) has vanished!! My only option now is to edit in iPhoto or iPhoto library!! I usually edit my RAW files in ACR which has always opened when I hit edit in IPhoto,,,
    Help!! Does anyone know what to do???

    I may be preaching to the choir but here are some tips on using PSE from 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.

  • Free trial download Photoshop Elements 10, won't open

    Hi,
    I downloaded and installed the trial version of Photoshop Elements 10, it all installed fine, but when I click on the icon to launch the program I get this error:
    The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “Adobe Photoshop Elements 10” can’t be found.
    I have no idea what this means or how to fix it. 
    Anyone know anything about this??

    It would seem to indicate that the shortcut/alias you are clicking on is not able to locate the application.  Which operating system are you using?  Did you have Photoshop Elements 10 installed previously?

    Hi Vicky
    PSE8 off-line help only extends to the Organizer.
    For the Editor, unlike earlier versions, you must have an internet connection.
    PDF files are apparently available but this is another hoop that Adobe customers are expected to jump through.

  • Adobe elements 10 with free trial of photoshop elements 10

    okay I bought the Premiere Elements 10 and have it installed and tried to use the 30 day trial of the photoshop elements part and it asks for a serial number the only one I can find and have is the one for premiere.... anyone know????

    Like you said, Photoshop Elements is a trial that you received when you purchased Premiere Elements. After the trial expires, if you want to continue to use it, you'll need to buy a license of Photoshop Elements.

  • Can I print a contact sheet that includes the caption for each photo using Photoshop Elements 13 for Mac. I previously used Photoshop Elements 6 for the PC and could do this.

    I just switched to a Mac and installed Photoshop Elements 13. I previously worked with many years with Photoshop Elements 6 on a PC where I used the contact sheet function -- with each's photo's caption included -- to print print a collection of 400+ member photos for a club I belong to. This worked beautifully. I assumed I'd still have this ability with my new software, but can't figure out how to do it. Help.

    Try using psd.  Some rerports indicate some confustion between the apps with TIFF.  See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15921933#15921933
    I cannot confirm, nor test, since I use PS CS5, and not Elements.

  • I just downloaded and paid for Premiere elements but now want the combined Premiere and Photoshop elements. How do I do this?

    My headline says it all. I would like to turn my Premiere Elements order into the combined Premiere and Photoshop Elements download offer. I have already paid for Premiere Elements but would like to take advantage of the combined offer for only another $40 or so. How do I do this?
    I only downloaded and paid for the Premiere Elements package about two days ago.

    Did you purchase Premiere Elements 13 from Adobe Direct? If so, are you within 30 days of that purchase? If the answer to both of those questions is Yes and it appears to be, then you should explore
    Contact Adobe Chat clicking on the following link
    Contact Customer Care
    Premiere Elements
    Membership, Account, Payment
    Payments, Invoices, Orders
    Chat Panel
    If the link does not hold its set, then you will need to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
    Under the conditions mentioned at the beginning of this reply, I am speculating that Adobe should be able to give you your money back for the Premiere Elements 13, allowing you to purchase Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements which are sold together, but are still really standalone products. How Adobe opts to do that is at its discretion.
    Best wishes
