Newly installed Photoshop Elements 12 doesn't open up on my computer.

I can't get past the task menu bar. how do I open up and use photoshop elements 12? I've clicked on Organizer to start organizing media and that didn't work. I clicked on Photo Editor to launch Photoshop Elements Editor and that didn't work.

Which OS are you on?
Please try launching Organizer and Editor from their exe location instead of welcome screen. On windows, double click the exe located at -
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer for PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
and
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12 for PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
On MAC, click the respective executables from Applications.
Thanks

Newly installed Photoshop Elements 3 not launching - help!

Hi there,
just installed Photoshop Elements 3 on the new G5 iMac - both bought a couple of weeks ago from Apple store on-line.
Installation of PE3 seemed to go ok.
But double-clicking the application makes it blink a couple of times in the dock, and then nothing. Tried removing and re-installing a few times..but the application never launches. Any thoughts as to what I can do to fix this?
Is this an issue with Tiger or with PE3? Or incompabability between the two?
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there,
I recently transferred my old files + apps across using migration assistant from the old iMac (which had been running OS X 2.8 Jaguar). When I first tried to install PE3, immediately after insertion of the disc, a Norton anti-virus disc checking screen came up and tried to check the disc. I cancelled the scan, and carried on the installation. When PE3 wouldn't launch, I figured it might be something to do with the anti-virus software. The Norton stuff was installed on my old machine - but I didn't want to use it for the new mac as I heard bad things about it. I couldn't figure out how to remove all the Norton software, until I came across some good advice in another area of the discussions. I have now successfully removed all Norton files from the iMac. However, despite trashing the PE3 app that wouldn't launch, and then installing it again, I still can't get PE3 to actually launch. Neither from the dock, nor from the applications folder. It just moves up and down once in the dock, and then does nothing. Deleting from the dock, and then launching from applications, the same thing happens, the PE3 symbol appears in the dock, moves up and down once, but then disappears.
Very frustrating. I know the application works well with Tiger, as I've seen it in the Apple store in London... so there must be something I'm doing wrong...
any more thoughts?

Can't open jpg from Windows 7 Explorer in newly installed Photoshop Elements 11

Elements opens but the image does not appear in the editor.
Other people have reported similar problems but I cannot find a solution.

I got hit with the same issue ... but found a simple clean answer (after a while):
The "default program" ("recommended program" when you use "open with" in the explorer context) which is associated with a file extension ultimately points to the following command: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\Photoshop Elements 11.0.exe" "%1", which is the PSE Organiser
This command didn't work for me (not even from the command line does this work, so it's a bug). I guess it gets hung up at the welcome screen in the background
I changed the "default program" / "recommended program" to point directly to the Photoshop Elements Editor. Then it works as it should.
To do this cleanly, you need to delete the wrong "default program" entry by deleting the relevant entry in the Windows registry for each picture file extension associated with PSE 11:
For example, on WIndows 7 64bit, the relevant registry entry for .cr2 files (Canon raw format) is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.cr2\OpenWi thList
and may have several entries labled a, b, c...., one points to Photoshop Elements 11.0.exe - delete it.
After the clean up, go into WIndows Control Panel, select Default Programs, Associate a file type or protocol with a program and then for the first file extension use "Browse" to find the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and select it (mine was at C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11).
Afterwards, you need to do this for each additional file extension you want to link with PSE 11, but you can pick it now from the Recommended Programs list
Since I only use raw and JPEG, I only needed to change this for .cr2 and .jpg - you may need others as well...
If you are not sure which program (Organiser or Editor) is now shown under the "Recommended Progams" list when you use "open with" from Explorer?
Photoshop Elements Organiser
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11
Adobe Systems, Incoporated <====== note the comma after Systems
Photoshop Elements Editor
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11
Adobe Systems Incoporated <====== note the absence of the comma after Systems
Hope this gets you working more productively....

I bought a new pc with windows 8.1. I want to install photoshop elements 10 (nl version) on my new computer, but I lost my license key. I deleted everything from my old computer. What do I have to do?

On my old PC with windows XP I was working with photoshop elements 10 ( NL version).
Now I bought a new faster PC (windows 8.1) and installed photshop elements 10 (L version on that new PC.
The problem is that I can't find my license key. The old PC is gone so I have a problem activating photoshop elements 10 on my new PC.
What can I do to get it running?
Best regards,

You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account. If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

Installing Photoshop Elements 5 from ricovery disc to other computer

How can I Installe Photoshop Elements 5.0.2. from a ricovery disc of a Sony Vaio with Win Vista (I got it with the computer on 2007) to a Toshiba Satellite with Win 7 64bit? When I try to do it it says launch.exe file missing. Are they compatible? It is registered and I have serial number.

You would need to find the complete setup files for the PSE installer and copy that folder over to the new computer and run the installer there.

Installed Photoshop Elements 13. Opened program. FYI, I work w/3 screens. Appears in center screen, too wide and cannot minimize it. Line across top reads eLive, Quick, Guided, Expert. Only eLive works. Gray screen on rest.

I have installed Elements 13. The screen stretches too wide on the screen and I can't see the edges at all to minimize or exit. Across the top I read eLive, Quick, Guided and Expert. Only eLive comes up with anything at all. If I click on the others, I just get a gray screen. I am running Windows 8.1 x64. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
Anyway, thank you,
Chris

Our newly installed Photoshop Elements v.10 constantly locks up in the Organizer.

A small window pops open stating that Elements Organizer is not responding & giving the choice of either closing the program or waiting for it to respond. I we wait 5-6 minutes it will respond but then lock up again as we navigate. Our PC has 3M RAM and the C drive is less than half full so I think the computer resources are ok. We have 5000+ photos in the catalogue. What do I to to fix this annoying issue?

Please try reseting the prferences of the PSE.
Also launch the catalog manager(file>Catalog) select you catalog and click optimize, then repair.
relaunch the PSE, and check out is there any change.
Thanks and regards

Hi Hardy Tasso,
Are you seeing this problem since first launch of PSE13 after installation or recently?
Please try:
Keep Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys pressed while launching PSE13 Editor and click OK on the dialog that comes next.
Thanks,

I downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements. I then launched Photoshop Elements Organizer and imported approx. 28,000 photos (including some videos). A window opened indicating that many of the photos had tags, and asking if I wanted to add the tags. I said yes, and the process began. When it reached 60% a window opened indicating that "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working", with the only option being to "Close program."
I've since tried to open organizer several times, but it goes immediately to "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working". I was able to open Editor, and tried opening Organizer from Editor, but encountered the same problem.
FYI, I have an open case (#0214505556), but have not received the help I need.

This issue is with respect to Elements 13.

I am trying to install my newly download photoshop elements 12. I have the serial no but the pop up

I am trying to install my newly downloaded photoshop elements 12. I have the serial number but the pop up screen is not allowing either the 1st 6 numbers or last 6 numbers to be entere to start the installation. I have registered the product OK. What is the problem?

Does it begin with 1057? If not, it's a redemption code. In which case, see here:
Redemption Code Help
If it is a serial number, go to system preferences>security & privacy>firewall>firewall options and be sure that PSE is allowed to call out.

I installed Photoshop Elements 11 on a new computer a month ago. It opened several times until yesterday. I uninstalled it and now am trying to reinstall from the CDs that I own and it will not read the disk. Nothing happens. I had previously downloaded it to my laptop and work computer. How do I install it again?

You can't run PSE from a USB drive, nor can you transfer PSE to a different computer via a USB drive. PSE must be installed on a computer using the installer program provided by Adobe.

On a new computer, am trying to download/install photoshop elements 10 can download files, but not open them, please help

On a new computer, am trying to download/install photoshop elements 10, files are downloaded, but cannot open them, please try to explain if you can

you probably should have two files, an exe and a 7z file in the same directory. if so, click (or double click) the exe.
if that fails, what files(s) (name and extension) and file size(s) have you downloaded?
