Only 4 preset gradients in PS Elements?

Hi,
I'm just learning PS and am trying to do a fade to white on a picture.  It looks like I need to use a preset gradient that is black/white, but I only have 4 presets.  Is that all Elements comes with, or it's possible I deleted them when I was poking around a long time ago. Should I have more, and how do I get them back?
Thanks in advance!

What version of photoshop elements and operating system are you using?
These generic instructions might work in your version:
(your preset list might be slightly different in your version)
1. If your using the Gradient Tool you can reset the gradients
2. Resetting the gradients using a Gradient Fill Layer:

  • How can I adjust the skin color of only one person in the photo (Elements 11)

    How can I adjust the skin color of only one person in the photo (Elements 11)?
    Thanks for your help.

    From your question, I assume you know how to do it for all persons :
    Menu : Enhance/Adjust color/adjust color for skin tones
    So what you have to do is to do the color correction on a layer copy. Concentrate on the person to enhance and ignore the rest of the picture.
    When you are satisfied, add a mask to the layer copy and fill it with black.
    Set your foreground color to white
    In the layer palette, click on the mask icon on the right of the layer icon.
    Then use a brush to paint white on the skin of the person to reveal the correction.

  • Any better text presets available for Premiere Elements

    Hi all,
    I tried doing a google search and a forum search and came up empty. The presets that come with elements are nice, but really basic when compared to the competition (corel for example). I was wondering if there are more presets available from adobe, fellow forum members, or freeware websites. Any one else have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply!
    I'd like the letters to "explode" away. As in each letter individually flies into the screen as if there was an explosion behind it.
    I'd also like the letters to roll in on screen then roll out.
    It would be super nice if there was a true way to edit the text. Heck there might even be and I'm just missing it.
    It would be nice if there was a section on adobe's website that offered downloadable text animation presets, audio, and video effects. I see a lot for photoshop elements but none for premiere elements (unless I happen to be looking in the wrong place).

  • Hi, It's my last day test on adobe elements 12. I want to buy it now but It's looks only posible to buy the Adobe elements 13 version. If I buy this 13 version, I'm going to loose all the projects I did before with the elements 12 test evaluation? Thanks!

    Are you currently working on a tryout of Premiere Elements 12 downloaded from Adobe?
    If so, you do not have to buy from Adobe. You can purchase the version from an authorized reseller of
    the product.
    At that point, you can leave the 12 tryout installed and just install your purchased serial number from
    the authorized reseller or uninstall the tryout and just install the purchased product with its serial number.
    When you open a tryout 12 project file (with Adobe watermark) in a purchased Premiere Elements 12, the
    Adobe watermark should disappear
    a. if you use Timeline/Delete Rendered Files
    or
    b. do nothing...so of us have found that just opening the tryout file in a purchased product removes the Adobe
    watermark automatically.
    As for
    If I buy this 13 version, I'm going to loose all the projects I did before with the elements 12 test evaluation?
    Are you talking about the Adobe watermark? You will not lose the projects, but whether or not the Adobe watermark
    is removed in a purchased version which is not the version in which it was created is of concern.
    I will see what exploration and experimentation on that I can do.

  • How do I access the preset frames in Photoshop Elements 11?

    I have been using Corel PaintShop Pro 14 and have switched to Photoshop Elements 11.  It came with Preset frames for using on your photos.  I wondered if Elements 11 has the same feature and if so how can I access them?

    Open your image in Expert mode. On the top menu click:
    Window >> Graphics
    In the graphics panel click the second pull down menu (to the top right)and choose frames.
    Scroll through the thumbnails and double click on one to apply to your image. Then save.

  • Gradient Overlay in Elements - Help!!

    Is there a plugin or a way to get the gradient overlay layer style in photoshop elements?
    I've searched high and low but can't find a way of doing gradient overlay in PSE 7....
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

    Edit: I was unable to view the text example you linked.
    One way you can do this is to use a clipping mask:
    Here is a video which shows how to apply a gradient to text using a clipping mask:
    http://www.pxleyes.com/video-tutorial/photoshop-elements/10901/Versatile-Gradient-Text.htm l
    Above video is for PSE 6 but the method is the same. She might call it a clipping group instead of clipping group. (Clipping group = clipping mask; Adobe changed the name not the function.)
    Note: Hold in the shift key as you pull the gradient to constrain the gradient so it pulls evenly.

  • Does polymorphic automatic mode only work in combination with input-elements?

    Hello Labview-Community,
    I couldn't find an explanation for this behavior, so I hope someone around here is familiar with my polymorphic problem:
    The automatic selection in a polymorphic vi does not seem to be working for output-elements. Is that a bug, a feature...?
    Or is it just me? I 'programmed' a minimalistic example in order to explain the problem in a better way:
    poly_malfunction.llb
    temp_1 works with a String,
    temp_2 works with a numeric array, both defined as output.
    temp_poly combines them into a polymorphic unit and finally temp_malfunction tries to automatically switch the polymorphic vi to array-output, but fails in doing so.
    Thanks for your help,
    Chris

    thanks for the answer and the attachment-hint.
    i want to communicate via gpib with an instrument, which accepts strings as commands and is able to both put out strings and binary data souch as floating point arrays. so the only thing which variates is the output. If everything else fails i will use multiple outputs, but i was looking for a more elegant way to handle this problem. But I guess you are right and Labview just decides by comparing the connected inputs, not the outputs.
    Since I don't no why my llb is empty, either, I'll attach all four files again, maybe someone still has a solution to my problem.

  • This One is For Environment Gurus Only-controlling presets of external FX

    Hi y'all,
    I just got a new hardware (WHAT?) Hardware reverb unit. (Oh my gosh, what's THAT?)
    Although they have an AudioUnit plugin to control it, since I am on an Intel Mac, they do not yet work on my machine. They only have PPC...boo hoo.
    So,I am building a Logic environment for a Lexicon Reverb, the MX400, and I am getting along just fine, with the correct implementation of each parameter control, etc.
    Here is the conundrum:
    I would like to have two buttons, one for going UP one preset at a time, and one for going DOWN one preset at a time.
    I have the part figured out, as far as making a button that spits out program changes, but of course, this being a button...it only goes min / max.
    I ALSO have all the presets already on a text menu object, so I can just open that, and select the one I want...but... sometimes I like to scroll through effects, when I am looking for something to put on an instrument, and then tweak the effect to suit the song. This will be harder to do when my effect is not close to the listening position, and when I am closing my eyes to focus my ears on, of all things, the SOUND.
    So there is the small challenge, to build a two button do-dad that will increment/ decrement an external device's program presets by one per each button press. (It's CC #32 in case y'all forgot)
    Cheers

    Is it correct that the MX400 can function as 2 stereo units and bypass your soundcards A/D by going in through SPDIF?
    Hi,
    Absolutely!!! That is why I bought it, well... that and the fact that it sound soooo good. I have always loved the Lexicon reverbs.
    This one actually has 2 SPDIF I/Os one for each stereo processing engine!!!
    I have it set up right now like this: SPDIF A I/O to my Digi002R.
    No messing with inserts, at least not until I install my brand-new Allen & Heath in the studio I'm building right now.
    And, yes, you can run three different engine options:
    1. Stereo, where you can cascade two stereo effects any way you want (delay then verb, etc...)
    2. Dual stereo, where your have 2 engines operating TOTALLY independent of each other, and have DIFFERENT I/Os, both digital SPDIF AND analog.
    3. SURROUND, Yes, SURROUND!!! You can set this one up in different ways, like 1 input, 4 outputs (Front Left and Right, and Rear Left and Right)
    Or two inputs, or four inputs...to four outputs, etc... This one uses both processing engines at once.
    It is indeed a great value for the money. The effects sound SO good.
    Cheers

  • Won't let me edit effects - can ONLY use presets :(

    Recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, all was fine until a couple days ago.
    When I go to the "edit" panel to put effects on a track (both audio and MIDI tracks), I can select the effect I want, and I can also pick from any of the presets. However when I click on the picture BESIDE the effect - the one that is supposed to open up a box so I can edit the effect - nothing happens. It does not matter if the effect is turned on or not. Also does not matter if it is a new Garageband file or one that I created and added EDITED effects to months ago - nothing happens.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated (my brother has several songs that need recorded for school projects and I was hoping I'd be able to help him out). Thanks in advance!

  • Could not use color replacement tool because it only works in full color mode: Elements 11

    I have a PSD file open and I added a new layer via the copy command.  I have added a Layer Mask to the new layer and I'm trying to use the Brush Tool with black forground to cover part of the new layer.  I'm following an online tutorial step by step, but when I try to use the Brush Tool I get "could not use color replacement tool because it only works in full color mode".  The Image>Mode is set to RGB.  I'm stuck!

    First, show the tools optiond in the bottom of the screen (shortcut F4)
    Now look at which of the three options you can select, brush, impressionist brush or replacement tool. I suspect you have to select the brush.
    Edit:
    The reason of the message is that when you are painting on a mask you are in greyscale mode for the mask. For instance, if you paste a coloured layer into a mask, it will be converted to greyscale.

    Camera Raw 7.3 does not work with PSE9
