Need Help Resizing in PS Elements 6
I recently worked on a couple of my photos in PS Elements 6, and after I saved them, I found that they had changed size drastically. Both were about 2MB originally, but after working on them one had gone down to a mere 190Kb, while the other had increased all the way up to a whopping 40.5MB--so big that I cannot even email it, since it is almost double the maximum 25MB for one email. I tried "Resize" under "Image", but that appears to only change the dimensions in inches--there is no way to revert back to the original 2MB. I am new to Photoshop, indeed to computers, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
You are confusing the size of the file that contains your photograph, with the size (number of megapixels) of your photograph.
These two things are not the same, and sometimes do not move together.
Futhermore, there is no need (and no way) to re-szie your photograph back to 2MB. All of your photograph information is in the file, even though it is 190K now. When you save a .jpg, it very often will get smaller, because .jpg uses compression. You do need to be aware of the quality level that you are saving the file at ... in PSE, you can save it from a quality of 1 (poor quality, very small files) to a quality of 12 (high quality, large files). A lot of people (like me) choose a compromise of around 8 or 9, as the quality degradation from one save at quality 8 or 9 usually isn't noticeable unless you blow up the photo very large. The choice is up to you.
Your 40.5MB photograph is huge because you probably saved it as .psd or .tif. If you resave it as .jpg, the size will shrink to something much smaller, which you can e-mail.

I need help resizing in Photoshop Elements 3...Can anyone help me??
So I have Photoshop Elements 3 for Mac.
The image mode is RGB Color, and I have a certain layer that I want resized. So I go to Image - Transform - Free Transform. Once I am done resizing the image, and I have it how I want it, I hit enter, and the whole layer automatically blurs. I've looked everywhere on the program, but I can't find out how to stop this. I don't want the layer blurred. So if anyone can help me, I would really really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
PS: Sorry if this has been asked/answered already. I'm not very smart. x_x
Oh and if you reply, would you mind emailing me your reply too?? I check that more than I check here. My email is [email protected] Thanks again! =DYou want the elements forum: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbb01bc/

Need help with Adobe Premiere Elements 2
I can drag a large high rez jpeg into timeline. Then when I click to playback....it gets more pixelated. That's a bad beginning. Then, when I go to export it, I've tried several extensions. All look bad during playback on YouTube. This should be pretty simple. High quality jpeg, but is fuzzy in movie. What's going wrong?
hi Bill -
ok fine. I have PSDs too. I tried what you said.
I put a PSD right beside a JPEG in the timeline. I rendered it (which I
didn't know to do because the instructions don't even mention it. The
instructions are terrible. Seems it leaves out a lot of info.)
So, then I click PLAY on my monitor. I see no difference between the PSD
and the JPEG yet. So, if I want to put this on YouTube, what's the best way
exactly, without gettting too technical? It looks like I have the choice
between Exporting in Mpeg or Quicktime or Windows Media. I think youtube
likes wmv.

When you drag the stills to the Timeline, there should be a red line
above them. Press Enter to Render the Timeline.

Do not know the particulars of PrE 2, but in later versions, you can
Rt-click on the Program Monitor, and choose Magnification = 100%, rather
than Fit. You might have to resize your Program Monitor, but check at 100%.
Â
Also remember a few points:
Â
1.) You are looking at a DVD-quality image now, and that was designed
with low-rez CRT TV's in mind, and NOT hi-rez computer monitors. DVD vs
hi-rez sources and displays is probably less than what VHS vs DVD was, not
that long ago.
2.) You are looking at an emulation, a preview
3.) Your images have already been compressed to JPEG once, loosing
quality. That is why I always work in PSD, especially if there has already
been one JPEG compression, whether in camera, or in the image processing
stage. I keep JPEG either out of my workflow, or as limited, as is
possible. Some do not see the quality loss with JPEG compression, but I do,
and if I can create images that are as good as it gets, I know that my
clients will be happy.

Good luck,

Yes. You can.
I've learned something. New. This must be recently changed. That last time I clicked on a Link I though was a dmg file and turned out it was and exe file my Macs wouldn't allow me to do so. But haven't tried recently everytime and exe file comes up I cancel. I gues I am used to the time everytime a Virus or some other nasty was downloaded it was packaged in and exe file and Macs owuldn't allow it. I suppose with the INtel guts now they can no longer refuse to download. -
Need help retrieving my photoshop elements 2.0 due to virus scan removing it
need help retrieving my photoshop elements 2.0 due to virus scan removing it - i have everything removed from scan in quarantine but have no idea which one is what i need to reverse and allow my photoshop elements 2.0 (old version, I know, but I love it) to work again
Use the anti-virus program to reverse everything it quarantined and in future ensure the anti-virus program settings let you check and decide what items to quarantine and what to ignore. Letting an anti-virus program quarantine things automatically is a recipe for disaster.
You could also check if you have a System Restore point from before the anti-virus run.

Need help ASAP with photoshop elements 11
Please I need help its photoshop elements 11 but I can't put up the pic I need help with could someone help me out by using Facebook, Amanda Jayne Clarke I have a pic of a little girl n a horse
Please i need help ASAPwell you can find many tutorials about how to change background in Photoshop Elements. It ranges all the way from using magic extractor to making a selection using lasso and magnetic lasso tools. But I really prefer using a mask for it. Here is how I would change the background of image A and use Image B as the background.
Open image B in photoshop elements editor- expert mode.
go to file->place and choose the image A to place over image B
go to layers panel by choosing Window-> layers from menu bar. Right click the layer A choose simplify layer.
with layer A selected, choose layer>layer mask> reveal All from menu bar. It would create a layer mask on the layer A.
Select the mark layer of layer A, choose the brush tool and change foreground color to black. Paint all over the are you want to remove from the layer A. if you make an error, change the color white to get your image area back. it is a good practice to use lower opacity(~60) while using layer mark as it gives you more control over with how much opacity you want to remove the background

Need Help With Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0
I have and use Adobe Acrobat and three versions of Adobe Photoshop Elements (2, 5 and 7). I use version 2 frequently as I'm more familiar with it and it's simpler to use for what I need to do. All was fine until recently when my computer was installed with Windows 8. Now I can't save photo edits from Version 2.0...... it aborts each time I try. Why is that? It is costing me a lot of wasted time. The other versions that i have don't do that. Need help. Thanks. Stu Snyder.
The first thing i would try is deleting the Photoshop Elements 2.0 Prefs folder as explained in the post #2 linked to below:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1254224?tstart=30
Does it happen when trying to save as any file format or just a certain one like jpeg?
Have you tried saving a photo to a different place like your desktop? -

Need help in Insertion of Element in DefaultStyledDocument
Hello:
I am developing an XML editor by extending the DefaultStyledDocument of javax.swing.text package. I am not able to insert an element in the document.
This is what I have done: (I need to insert one BranchElement, with two leaf child elements.)
I inserted the text in the document corresponding to the first child element using insertString() method. In the insertUpdate() method of the document, I am creating the branch element and its first child covering the inserted text. I then call the insertUpdate() method of DefaultStyledDocument. Similarly, I insert text corresponding to the second child and modify the element structure inside insertUpdate() and then call the insertUpdate() of DefaultStyledDocument().
At the end of the execution, the element structure is okay, but all the inserted text also becomes a part of the previous element.
for example,
if I have the following element structure at the beginning: (element offsets are in the square brackets besides their names, child elements are indented.)
html [0 2]
start-leaf [0 1]
end-leaf [1 2]
and I insert body at position 1 with its two children (each of length 1)
I get the following element structure:
html [0 4]
start-leaf [0 3] //why this?
body [1 3]
start-leaf[1 3] //why this instead of [1 2]?
end-leaf [2 3]
end-leaf [3 4]
And, I am not able to see the Views corresponding to the inserted elements.
(I tried without modifying the element structure explicitely, but it doesn't work that way.Also, I am able to remove elements from the document. In that case also I am following a similar logic: remove the data from the document using remove() method and modify the element structure inside removeUpdate(). and it seems to work fine.)
Can anyone please help me understand why this is happening?
Thanks a lot!like this ??

I have a logo in AI, I need to have it resized down to fit into a template provided by the company that will print the stickers.
I have never used AI before, I took a stab at it and I can resize part of it but the background of the image will not. I can't even figure out how to select it
someone that could help, I can probably get you some money via paypal or something.
ThanksIf you look in the Layers Palette and see a Lock on the background then you won't be able to do anything with it until you UnLock it. Try that first and then post back with results.

Need help resizing pages for different screens
Hey guys,
Ok well I made this website that has a lot of pages now and
the only problem is that I have a 21" widescreen monitor so
everything I created has to be scrolled on a lot of smaller
screens. I'm almost possitive that there is a way to tell the html
to resize the website when different screen sizes are detected. Any
help would be great. Thanks.
Also if there is a way to do this, then would it be possible
to change the settings sitewide without using templates?
Jeremy> I'm almost possitive that there is a way

There is - it's called "design"! You have to build the page
to be
flexible - see this tutorial as an example of how to do it
with tables:
http://www.dwfaq.com/tutorials/Tables/flexible_tables.asp
Once you have the page built, you cannot just drop in a magic
pill and make
it resize itself.
And remember, screen size is not the real variable you need
to worry about -
it's browser viewport size. Even when you know my screen is
1280x1024, you
still do not know what my browser size is.
