Opening my Photoshop Elements 12

When I try to open my photoshop elements 12 I get a small split screen. One side shows "the organizer" and the other side shows "photo editor" and nothing else happens. coley Q

Hi,
Is this the sort of screen you get?
If so, that is known as the Welcome screen. You click on the Organizer or the Photo Editor buttons.
If you want, you can change the settings (using the little gear wheel top right) to skip the Welcome screen and go to your required application.
Sorry if you knew that.

Organizer won't open in Photoshop Elements 10. Says it is in use by another program.

Organizer won't open in Photoshop Elements 10. Says it is in use by another program.
This just started happening.... When I open Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 in Windows 7 and click on Organizer to open my catalog, I get a message that reads, " The catalog could not be opened because it is currently in use by another program." I know of no other program. I do backup my pictures with a Seagate backup external drive. How can I resolve this so I can work with my pictures again. Could this have anything to do with Adobe's switch to Adobe Revel?

Have you tried restarting the computer?

I cannot open my photoshop elements 10. I get an error 400.

I cannot open my photoshop elements 10 to edit pictures. I get a message saying that it cannot connect, error 400. I was using it last week no problem than I shut down my computer & tried to open photoshop the next day & the program wouldn't open. I've heard that this is the result of photoshop.com no longer existing. What can I do about this? There has to be a way that I can still edit my pictures. I've tried opening some .psd docs but they won't open. I tried chatting with adobe tech support & they said that they cannot help me because this is an older PSE program. Anyone know any way around this? Mahalo nui loa!
On a side note: I can't figure out how to respond when someone comments on my forum questions. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'm obviously not very tech savvy.

Once image is edited- how do I save it to desktop or a file to later insert it in an illustrator layout? I tried to save it and it saved but it opens into photoshop elements editing page

Right click > Open with and choose the program to open it.

Pdf file opens in Photoshop Elements.

I am trying to help a friend download a camera manual that is a pdf file.
Whether it is from his original disc or from the website it wants to open in Photoshop Elements, and so is unreadable.
He has Windows XP. How can we change it to open in Word?

I would say it's like this: Right click on the icon, Propertiers, Open with, make your choice
(why Word and not Reader if it'sa PDF?)

Can a file created in Photoshop Touch (ipad) be opened in Photoshop Elements?

I am think of purchasing the Photoshop Touch for my ipad but am not sure if it can be opened in Photoshop Elements when I have finished with it in Touch. Hopefully, someone can answer my question...Thanks.

Well, carp. Just like when you take your car in to the mechanic: I can't find any of the offending TIFF files. Not surprising considering that I have just north of 1,000 on my drive. Yikes.
For the record, the error message basically just said that the file I was trying to open was incompatibile with this version of Photoshop. And just now I successfully opened a file from April 2005, originally created in CS, and it is completely intact. My novice-ness shows through , but it's perfectly intact.
Sorry to bother to Board; I'll come back when (if?) the message comes back.
Thanks.

Open in Photoshop Elements 10 doesn't work

Hi,
When I right click on at photo in Lightroom 3,5 and choose Edit In Photoshop Elements 10 the Photoshop Elements Editor opens, but the photo is not loaded.
Can anyone give me an answer to how to make it work? And of course Photoshop Elements 10 is installed! ;-)

I have exactly the same problem even if I right click in a photo in a standard Windows Explorer file and choose"open with" Photoshop Elements 10. The editor opens but the photo is nevert loaded. I have Win7, 64bits.

JPGS are set to open in Photoshop Elements, but they open in Windows Photo Viewer instead, even when I specifically select Photoshop (and it's the default app)

Hi,
It seems this is a Microsoft related. You are referring on how to set JPG Image in Photoshop Elements by default. You may try visiting Microsoft's Support page http://support.microsoft.com/ for you to get the correct information/help you need.
Thank you.

Problem opening Adobe Photoshop Elements 13

Problem opening Adobe Photoshop Elements 13

After unzipping Photoshop Elements 13, I received a error message saying
that PSE had detected an impending shutdown of my computer, and that I
should shutdown and restart the computer. I had two button choices:
ignore or quit. Given those choices, I quit, then shutdown the computer
and restarted. I again unzipped PSE and attempted an install. This time I
got a error message saying an installer was already running and I should
shut it down. Having no clue as to how to shut down an installer, I
attempted (FOR 6 HOURS) to obtain assistance from Adobe technical support
and either waited for a return call, waited on hold, attempted to
communicate with someone who I could not understand from India, or was told
technical support was not available on the phone for PSE. I finally gave
up and went to Chat. There, attempting to explain what the problem was,
(see above), I guess I took too long to respond, the chatter closed the
chat, and I was not able to reconnect to chat. After 5 attempts were
denied, I contacted a friend who has computer operations experience. After
an hour of attempting various things, he told me to hit "ignore". PSE
installed correctly and I'm now using it. This was an extremely shoddy
performance by Adobe -- first a glitch in the install process, and then no
help from tech support.

Why Cant get my Organizer to open on Photoshop elements 12 on my mac OS 10.6.8

Why Cant get my Organizer to open on Photoshop elements 12 on my mac OS 10.6.8

Pse 12 isn't officially supported on mac os x 10.6.8, but your able to install it.
Mac os x doesn't have some of the updated/newer os features that the pse 12 organizer requires but the editor part seems to work fine.
Also, camera raw 8.3 is the last camera raw version that will work on os x 10.6.8 and newer versions of camera raw or the dng converter won't be compatible accoording to what adobe has said so far.
more info in this post:
http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/08/pse-12-and-older-operating-systems/
If your os x 10.6.8/computer is able to upgrade to mavericks os x 10.9, then you'll be able to use the pse 12 organizer, but if you have any programs that require rosetta to run you won't
be able to use them any longer, because after snow leopard macs can't use rosetta

Not opening in photoshop elements 12

I have an Aperture Library 3.5.1 and am trying to open an image to edit in Photoshop Elements [Editor] 12 -- when I click on the picture using Control and select that choice, it says it's preparing it to go to PSE and be editted = but nothing opens in PSE. I have tried several times and quit everything, repaired permissions and restarted the computer. Same thing.

One question tho = I can get the plists out of the library but there are other things which seem to be prefs -
If you upgrade to Mavericks, it is very important to delete all existing PSE, Organizer, and Bridge (for PSE 6 and 8) preferences. To do this, you need to go to your username->Library->Preferences and delete everything relevant there.
Adobe PS Elements 12 Paths, Settings etc...are those plists to remove or leave them there???
[I now see the picture and those are included...I am so worried about missing something = I think it'll work.

I have been getting a "Runtime Error" and can't open Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor

We are using Adobe Photoshop Elements version 9.0.3 (20110328.m.11320). For several weeks it has not been possible to open the Editor, although the Organizer opens as usual. We get an error message that says "Runtime Error! Program: ...\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information." What can we do to correct this problem?

Thanks, Ken! I have to reply by e-mail, as the Forum site has been down
for maintenance since last night.
I am running Windows 7 Professional SP1.
Uninstalling and booting should be straightforward. I saved the
following files in my Downloads folder from my initial installation of
Adobe PSE 9.0 on 4/22/11:
Adobe_Photoshop_Elements_9-AkamaiDLM.exe (355 kb application)
PhotoshopElements_9_LS15.exe (1,200 kb application)
PhotoshopElements_9_LS15.7z (1,838,546 kb WinRAR archive)
Will these suffice for reinstalling the program? Can you tell me how I
should go about the reinstallation? (I tried to find a page to download
the Adobe PSE 9.0 program on the Adobe website, but could only locate a
patch for 9.0.3, which I think must already have been included in the
original installation.)
Also, there are four folders, corresponding to four catalogs, in
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs. Will those survive
the uninstall/reinstall process? Should I back them up just prior to
uninstalling to preserve them for restoration after the reinstall?
Finally, should I back up the 9.0 and Organizer folders in
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer for restoration as well? And
the C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements folder?
Thank you. I am grateful for your help!
Peter
