Hi Zach.
Sorry to say but Elements 12 came out several months before your camera. Adobe stops updating camera raw files for old software editions so that people have to buy new versions of the software when they get a new camera. It happened to me with LR3 when I got a new camera.
There are works rounds but they are a lot of extra steps and I think you would be converting the files to Some format other than RAW (tiff?) and which I am not sure will perform the same.
I think you just need to get a newer version of Elements.

Why do so many people say "fer-tographer"? Do they take "fertographs"?

On a Mac, in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014, when adding audio to an edit, i get the message "Could not complete your request, because Dynamiclink is not available".
When performing the exact same operation in Adobe Photoshop CC, i can add audio in the same way, no error message. Any ideas to solve this, anyone? Would be greatly appreciated.I tried to update and it keeps telling me to get the Application Manager. And this is what happens
Adobe Application Manager failed and it told me to download the Adobe Support Advisor.
Adobe Support Advisor told me that there was an issue:" cpsid_82829s1: "A restart is pending," bootstrapper error has occurred. "Token Number: 40-87772-063201122012
I followed the instructions it gave me to correct this issue:
If you receive the error "Installer has detected that a machine restart is pending. It is recommended that you quit the installer, restart try again," do the following:
#Restart the computer and try the installation again.
#If the installation fails, delete the InProgress registry key:

The step I was missing was to change the mode via the control button at the top of the user interface from "Quick" to "Expert". Under the "Quick" mode Photomerge Panorama is grayed out. Thank you for your input! -

Downloaded AdobeExchange to access filters gallery for photoshopCS6 on CC. Photoshop performance has been compromised so I need to uninstall AdoneExchange & any related software. Was advised to sign out of desktop application manager first. How to do this? Thanx.
They just meant that you should deactivate your license, in order for you to be able to reactivate it again, later on. You can do that just by opening Photoshop, going to menu Help > Deactivate.

Installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Hi,
Just wanted to know if there are any problems installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit?
Planning to purchase a laptop that comes with the OEM license and plan to use 64-bit OS to maximize the 8GB RAM of memory. Just afraid if there are known issues for this type of installations.
ThanksNo issues.
On the contrary, subject to the image(s) being edited, Photoshop will thrive in a 64 bit Win 7 machine given the right tweaks.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html
Be aware that two versions of Photoshop will be installed 32 bit and 64 bit. The 32 bit is there for legacy reasons with some plugins e.g. TWAIN scanner

I cannot open Adobe photoshop CS2 which I was using 10 days ago. Can I restore the system to before 10 days, so it will work again?
The hatter wrote:
Rosetta can have a 2GB RAM "tax" to manage PowerPC code as well as how that affects performance.
I think real world performance shows both statements to be wrong; consider this:
If that were the case, how come Apple does not include that information in its Snow Leopard installation requirements, since Rosetta is an optional install?
Also, running a PowerPC app on an 2011 i7 Mac with Snow Leopard will run faster than running that PowerPC app on a PowerPC Mac. -
why is my adobe photoshop elements 12 not working. it says initializing then error and shuts itself down.
Three things you can try:
1. Clean the superdrive with a proprietory CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes.
2. Perform an SMC reset:

3. Try the free DVD player VLC:

which performs better than the built-in DVD Player. -
In LR5 i do: Merge to HDR Pro. After I apply my preset and PS attempts to convert HDR file, I get an error message from PS: "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working". Then PS Closes.
My source files are 5 NEF files of 28 MB. I select 16-bit, I also tried 8-bit. No difference. Same error message.

Any suggestions?As the crash report says - your outdated video card driver is crashing. You need to update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website (AMD/ATI in this case).

has anyone had this problem and know how to work on the program?
i recently got a macbook pro, migrating to it from windows XP pro. its operating system is OS 10 X; however, the most up to date mac OS is really (on my mac) called OS mavericks.
when i downloaded adobe reader for mac--some months ago--adobe gave me the chance to download adobe photoshop lightroom 5 as a trial evaluation. the download took a lot of time.
i never had the time to try this application yet, and now i need to do that.
the reason i have not yet tried it is because i am still in the learning curve learning how to use my macbook pro.
I REALLY NEED TO WORK ON SOME PHOTOGRAPHS! the free mac apps for photos have proved to be difficult and very time consuming. they do not have capacities to perform tasks like i want, for instance, to compress a photo, or to work on editing some photos as a batch operation. in fact, i cannot even "select" a number of photos that i need to work on. it is driving me crazy!
at this time, i need to try this product. i opened it, but the only thing that i can do is provide the license number, as though i bought the product. I NEVER TRIED THE EVALUATION COPY. not one time at all.
since i never tried it out, what can i do to try it now?
must i uninstall the program from my macbook and then reinstall the trial version? would that work since i work at home, so therefore adobe would recognize my IP address.
thanks for any help!

Adobe Photoshop CS3 & Paging Out (Screengrabs)
I have a 2x 2.66 Dual Core Intel Xeon mac with 5GB of RAM. Running latest OSX. Lately, have been noticing slowdowns and, when using the Terminal, have been seeing a lot of Pageouts.
For the screengrabs below, I had a fresh restart, and opened 5 layered Photoshop files in Photoshop each at about 100MB in size (dragged from Finder, not using Bridge -- Bridge was not open). As they opened, the Pageouts remained at zero. Right after they all finished opening, I saw the pageouts steadily climb to the number in the screengrab. I wasn't doing any other activity... and the number just kept climbing, and then stopped.

Also is a screengrab of my Photoshop performance settings. Is this common behavior? Suggestions on some remedies to try? Thanks.

Thanks for the link. Lots of good information & housekeeping tricks to try there.
Buko,
My scratch disk is barely touched. I watch it and it barely takes a hit. It works fine and is proportional to my needs. I'll experiment with it. Are you referring to a FAQ in the forums? I'm willing to read it, although there's mixed messages out there re: RAM and scratch. I don't contest the need for a scratch, but RAM is key to efficiency...
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401089&sliceId=2
Installed RAM
The amount of memory Photoshop requires depends on how you use the program. If memory is insufficient, Photoshop uses hard-drive space (that is, a scratch disk) to process information. Photoshop is fastest when it can process all or most image information in memory, without having to use the scratch disk. Watch the Efficiency Indicator to determine if you are operating as efficiently as possible.
To check memory use in Photoshop, open the Efficiency Indicator: Choose Efficiency from the pop-up menu on the status bar of your image to display the percentage of time actually doing an operation instead of reading or writing the scratch disk. If the value is below 95-100%, Photoshop is using the scratch disk and, therefore, is operating more slowly. If the efficiency is around 60%, you'll see a large performance increase by changing your RAM allocation or adding RAM. -

Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
I recently purchased a new desktop computer and installed Adobe CS3 Master Edition on it and I get the following error:
Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Out of the entire suite of tools only Photoshop will not launch. The weird thing is i also had the same Adobe programs installed on my laptop and I have not made any installation updates to that machine and i am getting the same error. I have always installed the same software on my two home machines with no problem until now. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Editing non-raw image files in Adobe Photoshop
Hi,
I am currently digging into the world of Lightroom and setting up a work flow which in my case needs to include editing non-raw files in Adobe Photoshop.
Please bear in mind that I am quite new to Lightroom so I am not sure I have found all shortcuts and settings to manipulate.
I will explain what I trying to do (and why) and hope that the community can comment and help put if possible.
I myself shoot almost everything in RAW format, and I have been using Photoshop (PS) and Camera Raw (ACR) for some years now. I am now on Photoshop CS6.
But now the amount of images to handle requires a CMS, so I went for Lightroom 4 - hoping/believing that I would find an effective and efficient work flow integration between the two Adobe products.
But I am more and more also helping others to enhance their images, and I most often get jpg files as image source.
I am used to using PS layers, filters, smart objects etc extensively to do what I want to do.
OK, I admin that I already use ACR quite a lot, and sometimes even as the only tool even for jpg images.
I have began diving/snorkeling with friends and often the images we bring back home is in jpg format, and so far I still believe that the best image "restoration" can be done in Photoshop using adjustment layers, channel mixing and filters to get satisfactory results.
So now on to my concerns and issues:
1) Lightroom user interface efficiency - "Edit in"
When I want to edit a jpg image in Photoshop I :
action
comment
- left click image to select it
ok, I agree this is needed
- right click image to bring up context menu
ok, I agree this is needed
- move cursor to "Edit in", and wait for another context menu
ok, ...
- click "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6"
Yes that's want I want
- Lightroom presents the "Edit Photo with Adobe Photoshop CS6" selection menu.
Yes I know, I saw it the last
nnn times I did it
- if I need option "Edit a Copy" or "Edit Orginal" I move cursor again, left click to select ,
move cursor to Edit and left click
- and finally Lightroom sends the jpg image to Photoshop as a jpg image
No, I want a tiff file since that
is what I have set up in
preferences
OK, I know that I can also use the keyboard instead of mouse for this, but the number of actions required from my side is pretty much unchanged.
For a quick working, Lightroom and PS skilled person, this is just annoying.
Is this effecient? Well it depends. For Lightroom beginners this is good. But for me it is a true annoying obstacle
2) Lightroom "Edit in" - is it effective
Is this effective? I say no. I have specified in preferences that I want PS to receive a TIFF file in Adobe RGB 1998 color space
Also, I cannot change to TIFF in PS without losing the link between the two images. (If I do, the new TIFF file is not imported by Lightroom, so I have to that manually)
I have found out that I can choose the path "Select image - select "Open as Smartobject in Adobe Photoshop".
This will give me a tiff file, and when saved in PS the jpg and tiff files are linked and Lightroom has automatically imported the tiff file into the Catalog.
What I need / what I would like to know / what I would like to have:
* Is there a (customizable) keyboard shortcut that enables me to: Select Picture + Use shortcut - and then I end up in Photoshop (with the Edit option I use 90% of the time) ?
* Is there a preference that I can set so that jpg images also are opened as tiff files in Photoshop per default?
* Is there a way to select multiple images and launch them all in Photoshop (and keeping the link between the jpg and tiff files) ?
* I would like a preference setting allowing me to choose that any new file coming back from Photoshop (after "Edit in" ) is written to a sub-folder, or to a specific folder set by me.
This would align with my work flow for jpg handling, where the jpg is the "original" and the tiff file is what will eventually end up as image "master" (from where I print, or produce web / HDTV jpg's).
* Is there a way to automatically launch a Photoshop Action on the file coming from Lightroom?
This would also help in my work flow. E.g. I have currently 100 jpg's and avi files which are UW (under water shots) and the adjustment layers I build are always the same (to start with).
Of course, I can launch the Action once I am in Photohop - but again, doing 1-5 times is ok, doing it more than 100 times ...
* I am skilled computer programmer - can I use Lightroom SDK to write plug-ins to achieve the above enhancements ?
Regards
Bosse W* Is there a (customizable) keyboard shortcut that enables me to: Select Picture + Use shortcut - and then I end up in Photoshop (with the Edit option I use 90% of the time) ?
-- The keyboard shortcut Command/Ctrl+E will perform steps 2-4 in your above list. You only have to click the Edit button, as the last choice (Edit Original, Edit Copy, Edit Copy with LR adjustments) will be remembered.
* Is there a preference that I can set so that jpg images also are opened as tiff files in Photoshop per default?
-- No, a JPEG in Lightroom will always open as a JPEG in Photoshop. If you have made changes to the file that are not supported by the JPEG format (e.g. added a layer) when you go to save the file, it will be saved as either a TIFF or PSD, based on the preference in Lightroom.
* Is there a way to select multiple images and launch them all in Photoshop (and keeping the link between the jpg and tiff files) ?
-- Yes, select all the files you want to edit, and use the keyboard shortcut, menu command, or right-click context menu command.
* I would like a preference setting allowing me to choose that any new file coming back from Photoshop (after "Edit in" ) is written to a sub-folder, or to a specific folder set by me.
This would align with my work flow for jpg handling, where the jpg is the "original" and the tiff file is what will eventually end up as image "master" (from where I print, or produce web / HDTV jpg's).
-- No, there is no automatic way to do this. If you use the Edit a Copy method, the copy is created instantly in the same folder as the original.
* Is there a way to automatically launch a Photoshop Action on the file coming from Lightroom?
This would also help in my work flow. E.g. I have currently 100 jpg's and avi files which are UW (under water shots) and the adjustment layers I build are always the same (to start with).
Of course, I can launch the Action once I am in Photohop - but again, doing 1-5 times is ok, doing it more than 100 times ...
-- Yes and No, this is not something that can be setup in Lightroom, but you can set it up in Photoshop using the Script Events Manager.
* I am skilled computer programmer - can I use Lightroom SDK to write plug-ins to achieve the above enhancements ?

I purchased the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 about 6 months ago. I want to install it to my new computer which is a Macbook Pro with no CD Drive. How do I install it when I got it in CD form?
I doubt the license is affecting the performance - it might be a case of the software being too old for the machine.
In any case, you can contact Adobe support thru chat and have them reset your activation count to eliminatre your doubts regarding the license.
