Photo collage PSE 9

Hi I hope someone can help please. How can you change the background from portrait to landscape in "Create Photo Collage". There seems to be landscape & portrait layouts but only portrait ones seem to work. You are not even asked whether portrait or lanscape when you first start. Is there a way that I have missed?

Thanks for the info, Barbara B. As you said, I should be able to go to the layouts tab and choose an alternate layout. But on the layouts tab I was seeing only 2 alternate collage layouts shown: 1 option under Different Layouts (”4 Photos”) & 1 option under Two Photos (”2 Tilted”) instead of all the options shown in the tutorial videos.
But what I have found with further experimentation is that the number and formats for the alternate layout options shown is dynamic depending on 1) the number of images selected and 2) the Paper Size selected. So when I selected 8 photos and 12x12 (as Bob G. did in his tuturial) I get the same list of alternate options on the Layout tab.
Certainly see your point about not really needing this Create collage option in PSE12. But at least the mystery is solved! Thanks again for your help!

PSE 6.0 will not display photo collage theme or layout

I just purchased PSE 6.0 for imac on Tues. I would like to use the photo collage option, but zero options work. I installed it/uninstalled it and it still did not fix it. It is in the process of downloading ADOBE BRIDGE CS3 WITH START MEETING 1.0.1. I have waiting a day and a half for it to update, it will not finish the update.
I have also called apple icare for support and they troubleshot everything and have determined that it is a software problem.
Please help. I have photos to finish.

Could what be? Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking.
First thing to try: quit PSE, then go to your hard drive>library>application support>Adobe>Photoshop Elements>6.0>Locale>en_US (that will be different if you aren't in the US) and delete mediaDatabase.db3. In the Photoshop Elements>6.0 folder level, also delete ThumbDatabase.db3. Note that these files are in the library folder at the top level of your hard drive, NOT in system>library or your username>library.
Repair permissions and relaunch PSE. Let it sit for a few minutes without using the program to give the database time to rebuild. You can try once you see the icons appear in the Effects palette.

Why is my photo collage not saving correctly?

I have only just got PSE 9, and am enjoying all the things you can do with it, so I thought I would try to make a photo collage for my family. I watched the video and it seemed straightforward enough, and I have made the collage. However, when I go to save it, although it appeas in the organiser, you cannot see a preview of the picture. All you see is a what I can only describe as a torn picture frame with one corner turned up. I can double click on the image in finder n my mac, and it will open the collage perfectly. I can also save it as a jpeg, and view it in preview. I want to order the print, so that I can get it a bigger size, but when I select it, it does not recognise the file type, either as a photoshop file or as jpeg. I also tried finding it using a jessops application that i downloaded some time ago, but the filename is greyed out. I have to admit, I'm at a bit of a loss!

The collage maker has a few bugs. I can’t even use mine as I get an error message as soon as I select any size image. Also there is a very restricted choice of templates. I’m on Windows so you experience is possibly different.
You can do it manually in Full Photo Edit
Click File >>New >>Blank File

Photo Collage Slow

Photo Collage runs real slow between each step. If I get anxious and click the mouse on anything, the program asks if I want to close the program or wait for it to respond.
It appears that the photo collage will perform all the functions, but it takes so long for just one page with 2 photos that it is not worth the effort.
I'm running PSE 6 on Vista with a new Dell Vostro with 4 gbyte.
Is there a configuation option that I have got wrong or an update needed, etc.?

Hey Ron,
The Photocollage creation is indeed a little slow.
Cheers

Photo collage - how do I delete/remove the gray frame around a picture?

I am creating a photo collage in PSE 7. I put 3 photos with no theme (background white) and adjusted the size, rotated them...etc. I also used the cookie cutter tool to give the photos a shape. A gray frame still remains after "cookie cutting" the pictures. How do I remove the gray frame?

I cannot EDIT the above post anymore, so i have to tell you all, that i have now read the instructions, all about Photo Stream.
So i have NOW found the easy way to Backup my Photo Stream, simply by using my MBP, create a folder in finder, goto iPhoto/iCloud, select ALL and Export to the folder just created in Finder. easy peasy.
The instructions also say that Delete a photo stream photo on one device and it IS deleted automatically on all other devices.
So realistically the above Questions are all a load of old TOSH. sorry for wasting your time if you read all of this.

Elements 11 stops working in Photo collage

As soon as I try to make a photo collage in elements 11 the progrem terminates. What is the problem?
I use a PB PC with i7 processor and win 7. Enough memory and running the program from an solid state drive (SSD)

Well, you can try deleting the editor's preferences. Go to Edit>Preferences>General and click this button, then restart the editor:
However, in PSE 11 and 12 there's no percentage in using the collage feature. You're actually more restricted in what you can do than if you just create a new blank file in the editor, get out the graphics panel and add what you like. It's not like the older versions where there were things you could do in Create that you couldn't do elsewhere in PSE.

Photo collage

How can I make a landscape photo collage (11 x 8.5) in Photoshop Elements 10? Only the vertical option is available.

Start with a new blank file in the editor (file>new>blank file) and skip Create entirely. There's nothing you can do with a collage in Create in PSE 11 or 12 that you can't do more easily with a blank file and the graphics panel in the regular editor.

I am trying to import photos into PSE 12 from folders on my desktop, which are organized by broad topics--family, vacations, etc.. Many of my photos are located in several folders. When I try to import them to PSE I get a message saying some photos were

I am new to PSE 12 and am trying to import my photos from folders on my desktop which I have organized by the categories I had in my previous program (Creative Memories). Many of my photos are located in multiple folders, i.e. one photo could be in "Family," Vacations" and "Birthdays." When I try to import the contents of each folder on my desktop I am often getting the message that many of my photos were not imported as they are already in my catalog. Is there a way that I can import any one photo multiple times so that it ends up in all the folders I want it to be in? I know I can locate the photo in PSE and copy it to a different folder(s), but there are so many not being imported that this would be a huge task!

By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...

How Do I Create A Photo Collage in Final Cut Pro X?

Hi all,
I'm a total newbie with Final Cut Pro X. I'm using it to edit aerial drone footage for real estate sales.
I have video from the outside of the houses, and I can edit that just fine. What I want to do, though, is have a kind of photo collage/montage of photos of the interior of the houses somewhere in the videos. But like I said, I'm totally new at this and have no idea how to do it.
If someone could explain how or point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I put out a remake of the Photo Recall effect a few weeks ago called Photo Recall Enhanced (it adds a lot more features to the effect already available in FCPX.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I8Lo0tFdPU
(there's more info in the About section under the video.) There's no charge.
All you need to do is stack the images or video you want to collage on the sceen and add this Effect to each clip. You can set the Background Opacity to 0% to get rid of the "recall" effect and that will leave you with just the "photo" on the screen. There's an onscreen control to help you position the image and other parameters for scaling and rotating (and all of these things can be keyframed for animation.

Help with photo collage in Elements 10

I am new to Photoshop Elements 10. I am trying to create a photo collage, but a window pops up saying "Valid size not available for this creation". Can someone help me fix this so I can create??

You can select the layout-horizontal or vertical while choosing a theme for the collage. As you select the theme in Photo collage dialog, it shows the size as x*y inches or y*x inches which decides whether your collage would be portrait or landscape.
Let me know if that helps!

Deleting a photo from PSE 8 and Nikon ViewNX 2 at same time?

My PSE 8 has the Nikon program as the supplementary editing program, and the Nikon program has PSE 8 as the open with program. I made sure that the settings were made. When I delete a photo in PSE 8, why isn't the same photo automatically deleted from Nikon ViewNX 2 and the reverse when working in the Nikon program which isn't often that I do? The same question could also be applied to Windows Live Photo Gallery which I don't like to use, but photos keep accumulating as in the Nikon program. PSE 8 is my main program for editing, but would like to learn NX 2. My PSE 8 is kept clear of unwanted photos. Is there a control that I am missing, or am I asking too much to be able to keep unwanted photos off my computer? I know I may have to do it manually, but hope that there is an easy solution. By the way, deleting from NX doesn't automatically delete the same photo from PSE 8 either.

You are right about that. I loaded ViewNX 2 to help solve another problem which it did. The problem is solved so I will delete NX 2. I couldn't understand when I got Windows 7 why there were people who wanted to know how to unstall Live Photo Gallery. Well, now that I have PSE 8 I know why. Of course, PSE 8 does more and Photo Gallery fights PSE 8. From what I read, getting rid of Photo Gallery couln't be done by simply doing the "unstall". It sounded so complicated. Will check it out again, but better to deal with two programs than three. Thanks again.

Saving edited photos in PSE 12 from Lr 5

I have edited several photos in PSE 12 from Lr5
After selecting the item to edit with the magnetic lasso tool on the background layer and saving it in selections I created a new layer and reloaded the selection so far so good
After editing and then going to save the photo does not show in Lr, it is in the pictures folder but only the selection is visible and the background or unedited portion is white
I went into Lr and picked the appropriate folder and after right clicking selected syncronise folder the picture then is displayed in Lr.
Do I need to select or deselect or combine the layers before saving or am I missing some other commands out.
Please try to keep instructions simple new to these programs so all unfamiliar ar present.

You probabloy used Save As. So you created a new file which Lightroom knows nothing about.
You need to start the round trip from LR as follows and use the save command (Ctrl+S) not save as:
1) Ctrl+E in the Library to export selected image with develop settings (I choose PSD)
2) Edit in PSE; then Ctrl+S to replace (overwrite) Lightroom export copy
3) Ctrl+W to close in PSE and update Lightroom thumbnail.
On Mac OSX Cmd+E; Cmd+S; Cmd+W
Also make sure all your layers are visibe (eye symbol not turned off) before using Ctrl+S
