Need help with startup Sync issue with Photoshop Elements 8.0

When starting up Photoshop Elements 8.0 a brief dialog appears about sync space being filled up with options for Cancel or Proceed. This is then quickly covered up by the frame showing Survey/Show What's New/etc... cannot get back to dialog about sync space. Only way to get into the program is to click on the right arrows in the Welcome to Elements frame, start a tour, click right arrow until Go box is presented and then click on Go. Major PITA to do this. If we are quick, we can click on the initial dialog and click on Cancel or Proceed and get into the program without the covered up frame. We are running PSE8 on Windows 7.
I have shut off sync and still this problem remains.I have been a loyal Adobe product user but this Automatic Sync stuff is really starting to get VERY irritating.
Thanks for any help that can be provided.

A lot of people are finding the same frustrations. Apparently PSE8 does not let you select start up with the Editor but forces the welcome screen on users. This is a classic case of Adobe not knowing what customers want and giving us what they think we want. It ignores the fact that the majority of users will have upgraded from earlier versions.
You can make quick short cuts. If using windows right click on the desktop, select new short cut then browse to program files, Adobe Photoshop elements and scroll right down the list and click on Editor; then finish.
You can do the same for the organizer and then launch each one independently.
You need to think carefully whether you need to keep everything in sync with Photoshop.com. Several users have found problems when they have quickly used up their free storage capacity and then have to pay Adobe an upgrade fee just to continue using the program, otherwise they are locked out.

Need Help with Photoshop elements 5.0

I know that this is a very old version of photoshop elements, but I would still like to use it, since I paid $100.00 for it. The problem is that it hasn't been installed onto my computer for awhile and now when I go to install it I get an error msg. each time. The msg is (C: Program Files\Adobe\EspionAlbum.dll. Verify that the file exist and that you can access it)!!
I have gone to the program files and into adobe and the Espion file is there! I have also called adobe technical support and they will not help me because it is such an outdated version. I am really aggrivated with adobe support and would really appreciate any help that anyone might be able to offer! Also, go slow, I am not a computer wiz, for sure! Thank you!

Okay...sorry...it is Windows XP Version 5.1 Does this clarify for everyone? I assumed that most people would get that much once I saw that I left out the XP in the original post!
Now that is out of the way...is it possible for anyone to help me with the problem at hand? Can anyone tell me if I can run Elements 5.0 on Windows XP or are they not compatible? If it should run, then please go back and read the original post so that you will see the issue that I am having! Thanks so much!

Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Editor might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash. Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem:

Need help with Photoshop elements 11 download

Just purchased a download card for Photoshop elements 11, created an account, registered the card, got a serial #. And now there is no download screen, or prompts to guide me to the next step of downloading the product. What is the issue and what should I do? New PC with windows 7.

you can download a trial and activate with your serial if you follow all 7 steps : http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps. the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

Need Help with Photoshop Elements 4 PLEASE!!!

I had Photoshop Elements 4 on my compuer and used it primarily to download photos from my digital camera. My computer crashed and I had to have the hard drive reformatted. I attempted to re-install Photoshop Elements 4 from my CD but it won't automatically load or install. I checked the list of files on the CD but there is no setup file on there. I contacted Adobe for help but was told they can't help me as they don't support this product any more. I paid for a product from them and they can't support me just because it's old??? Can anyone PLEASE help me? Thank you.

I'm sorry ... I hope the "print screen" will load here so you can see what I'm seeing:

Need help with Photoshop Elements 6!

Hello, and good evening.
I recently got a new computer, so I can finally use my PSElements disc again.
However, when I go to install I keep getting an error about a photo or something missing.
When it asks to check a certain file path to see if said photo exsists, the file path itself doesn't even exsist.
I don't know if this is due to a scratch on the disc, which seems faint enough not to matter, but I don't know.
Is there anyway I can download Photoshop Elements 6 via Adobe and just use my serial code on that?
Really don't want to have to buy another, I love my version.

pse 6 is no longer available for trial download.
you can try copying your install files to your desktop and installing from the desktop files.

Is there a patch or fix that I need?

Need help with Photoshop Element 8

I have never used this software and I am having trouble with what i am trying to do. I would like to convert a photo to black and white and then just add one color to a particular item or area. Please help

By using the polygonal lasso, or the marquee tool, or magic wand (depending on how complex the shape is that you want to leave in color) trace
around the object you want to leave in color. Then go to the select tab and choose invert. That changes your selection to everything except the
object you want to color. Under the Enhance tab choose Blank and White. Then back to the Selection tab - choose invert again. Now you
can change the color of your object or leave as is. Everything but that will be black and white. Hope this helps you.;

Need help with photoshop to find TGA

Need help with photoshop to find TGA on same as because I cant find it there or is it a download you need to get it. And its for photoshop element 12.

Yeah, I thought it was dumb to remove it, too. See:
Save as TGA File ? [Photoshop Elements 12]
for the workaround.

Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years.

Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years. Does Elements need to have access to ‘My Pictures’ on Windows as when I remove Photos from ‘My Pictures’, Elements later, when backing up, gives a message that it is unable to ‘reconnect’ to the same picture on elements. On other occasions when removing a photo from Elements catalogue I also get a similar message when backing up saying ‘unable to reconnect’. 1. Is there a relationship between Elements and My Pictures and is Elements dependant on the Windows ‘My Pictures’? 2. Why does some photos in Elements in some cases cause them to multiply e.g. double; triple; quadruple; and on occasions even more? Is there something I need to do to stop this or an easy way I can remove the multiples without spending hours doing it manually one by one? Am I doing something wrong? My O/S is Windows XP SP2 and windows Vista on my Laptop. I have been using Elements 5 and have just purchased Photoshop Elements 8.0. (Upgrade) and about to install it. Be grateful for any advice as I do enjoy using the program if only I can resolve this issue. I am not a PC wiz and mainly use Elements to catalogue photos from which I compile collections and from them slide shows with music. Any advice appreciated Sonny.t PS Have tried to post this previously but without success so hoping to see message appear and a +response

The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.

Help with Photoshop Elements, I'm new to it?

So I'm just fiddling around with Photoshop Elements, and I have a picture of a crocodile that I'm trying to turn blue, so I'm using the Smart Brush and Blue Sky effect to change his skin colour.
Firstly, is there an easier way to change the colour of something that I'm missing?
Secondly, how do I control the Smart Brush precisely? The thing is his body is about the same colour as the water so when the brush gets to a certain point the entire image turns blue.
So how do I select the crocodile but not the water?
Thirdly, the brush. I can draw with the brush, but then I get the "wait" symbol and my changes vanish. How do I stop this?
Thanks for replies, and I'm sorry for my noobishness, I just got Photoshop Elements yesterday.

You can make the brush cursor larger & smaller with the bracket keys next to the letter p on the keyboard. This affords more control in making the selection.
Use of the Smart brush tool is probably the easiest way to colorize an object. The tool has a buit-in mask. If you look on the Layers palette (Window>tick layer), the black and white rectangle represents the mask.
Left click on the mask, then access the brush tool (the ordinary brush B) and with a black brush paint over the area where the blue spilled over to the water. If you go too far, paint with a white brush to correct.

Need some help with Photoshop Elements Organizer

I have had this program for awhile now, but have not had a lot of time to spend with it....also on a new Mac.
I am trying to work with the Organizer. First time I tried to import photos from IPhoto, it said there was no media to import....(I have a lot of pictures here). I did some reading of the forums and determined that it might be a bug so I downloaded the update 9.0.3. Now I am getting an error tht says Photoshop Elements Organizer is attempting to import photos from a default folder. If I check OK, it begins to import all of my photos.
Any help on this problem would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Frustrated

The import is working fine. This is a warning message telling you that it is going to import photos and videos from the default folder of your system. Just to inform you about the action it is about to take.
In case you find it not working, you can log a bug to Adobe at:

Need help with Photoshop text?

Hi - I have been using Photoshop Elements 10 for about a year. I use it a lot to add text to images. For some reason within the last week, I am unable to add any text to images. When I try to do this (once I click on the 'T' and then click on the image where I want the text to go) Photoshop adds a layer, but will not allow me to add the text. I do not know if this is a setting, but I don't recall changing anything. I've tried Googling this but cannot find any solution that works. Everything I've found on the PS website is just how to add text, which I already do. I've also tried reinstalling my software. At this point, I do not know what else to do. Can someone help?

Hi,
See if the second option going to Edit works.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/undo-redo-cancel-actions.html#restore_defa ult_preferences
Restore default preferences
Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file may be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.
Note:
Deleting the preferences file is an action that cannot be undone.
Do one of the following:
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Mac: Option+Command+Shift) immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.
Go to Edit > Preferences (Mac: Photoshop Elements > Preferences > General), click the Reset Preferences on next launch button, and then click OK. When you restart Adobe Photoshop Elements, all preferences are reset to default settings.
A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help.

Help with Photoshop Elements 10 after system restore

Hi I need some help and guidance. I have successfully installed my Photoshop Elements 10 twice now; once on my own; and following a MS Vista System Restore; with the help of Adobe support . I then worked on it for a day and all was well.
But unbeknown to me at the time, I had a MS System corruption that was causing Boot issues resulting in a forced Restore of my system and both Restores caused the Photoshop elements desk-top shortcut to disappear and a subsequent PSE10 re-install to fail with the dreaded Data7 , and "Application Shared Technologies" and rollback of Orgainizer and Editor etc etc.
I now realise that the two events were connected and the Adobe Support Person helped me get PSE10 up and running but it involved a lot of file permission changes etc, which lost me in the process, which was done remotely. PS Great customer support!!
After sorting out my MS Vista problem due to "Corrupt System" files, I now need to get my PSE10 up and running again; but how?
Regards John

Have you tried uninstalling and installing again?
thanks.
