Photo Elements on Mac Lion

I'm running Photoshop Elements on my Mac with OSX10.7.3.  Whenever I open Elements Editor the last file I was working on appears, even though I closed it before previously shutting down Elements.  This even happens if I've deleteted the file from my computer. It doesn't matter what the file format is either.  It's not too serious, it's easy enough to shut the file each time I run Elements but it would be nice to know what is going on.  Any thoughts as to what might cause this?

I understand that, but what I am saying is that PSE has no control over the function (or dysfunction) of Restore Windows. Just because only Photoshop Elements seems to have this behavior does not mean that PSE has anything to do with it (do not rule out the possibility it happens to other applications either). PSE has no functionality to auto-open images, nor does it have any coding to interact with Restore Windows. It sounds like Restore Windows is incorrectly gathering information from Photoshop Elements on what the last opened image was. As Photoshop Elements is not actively supplying this information, it is up to Restore Windows to make an accurate collection.
Since Restore Windows bypasses the normal functionality of applications (all applications, not just PSE), forcing them to open files, I doubt there is any coding we could put into the PSE that would be able to prevent Restore Windows from opening these files, correctly or incorrectly.
However, this info I found may prove useful. I'd be interested in whether this is successful:
1. Hold down the Option key when quitting Photoshop Elements Editor. (i.e. Command+Option+Q or Hold down Option when going to Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor > Quit Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor). Holding down the Option key when quitting enables the "Quit and Discard Windows" option. This should force Restore Windows to forget all open files.

    One does not "see" the images when selecting;  You just select two file names, click OK, PhotoShop does the rest, and comes back with same message.

  • Installer has been misconfigured error while trying to download photo elements to mac pro labtop.

    what do I do?  Im lost

    For anyone that comes across this. I managed to fix the problem. It had something to do with the date on my computer. Mavericks installer apparently does a date check of some sort and that is where the error is coming from. Open terminal and check the system date. It may be wrong. Another poster in the forums told me how to to check the date and change it. Click here for the link to the explanation. Be careful because the date is in a weird format.

  • How do I import images from a Canon scanner on Photo Elements 12 using a Mac

    Hi
    I have purchase a new Mac with the 10.9 version and I am using Photo Elements 12.  I am trying to import images from my CanoScan 9000f scanner but I can't see the scanner in the Organizer, Files, Get Photos and Videos, there is no Scanner option.  But I can use my scanner using the Canon Sofware for the scanner.  Can you tell me what I have to do to be able to use my scanner directly on adobe Elements 12 ?

    You do not use the 'Import' function under the File Menu to import P2 card content because the video content is still in its native form. For example, my Panasonic HPX 171 produces .MXF video files (amongst all the other files and folders within the overall heirarchy).
    In order to access the copied P2 information you have to Log & Transfer it, as if it were a camera plugged into the computer. This process then converts the MXF P2 files into a Quicktime format that the Final Cut application can read and work with.
    Take note that when archiving a P2 card as you did it is imperative that ALL the other files and folders are copied and saved. In other words, the entire 'CONTENTS' folder. It is this 'CONTENTS' folder that you navigate to within Log & Transfer when you want to import to FCP.

  • Sending Photos as email attachments, Elements 8, Mac version

    Re use of Elements 10, Mac Version.  I can't send photo attachments thru the "sharing" link in the Organizer, becasue I can't enter the contact.  When I click to edit contacts, it brings up a dialogue box, asking for my password. I enter the password and then another box comes up "signing in."  But it never opens anything.

    No problem. Glad you asked. Gave me a chance to check up on what is going on with my Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 and its Elements Organizer 9.
    I was ready to call it a day when the email from Adobe with the verification code arrived in my regular gmail email INBOX. So a gmail address should work.
    Please go through the steps already mentioned in post 3 and wait for the email to arrived. It took about 1/2 hour in my case.
    When the email arrives copy the verification code in the email.
    Open the Elements Organizer and go to Share/E-Mail Attachment or Photo Mail. Go through the paces of setting up the email for sending in this area.
    Before you get to the end where there is the email with a Send button ready for you to hit, there will be a pop up asking for the verification code.
    Paste the verification code (from the email that you just received)  in the verification field of the pop up. Click OK, and move forward in sending
    the email by pressing the Send button in the completed email with attachments.
    Later you might also want to experiment with Elements Organizer 9 Share/Photo Mail.
    I had problems with my Contact Book for this task. But, if you have problems with the Contact Book, please let me know. If that happens,
    we can keep away from the Contact Book icon and type in the recipient email address immediately before hitting the Send button for the email.
    Looking forward to your results. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thanks.

  • Do photos tagged in Elements 6 (Win) import accurately via Bridge (Elements 8 - Mac)

    I have thousands of photos that I have managed using Adobe Elements (Win) and am now moving to a Mac.   Will Adobe Elements 8 (Mac) using the included Adobe Bridge properly carry-over all the tags that I have assigned to the photos over the years.   I have 'written' these Tags & keyword properties' to the files using the function in Elements 6.

    There are usually not many Elements users around here. But the easiest way
    to find out is to make a copy of a randomly chosen amount of files from
    different data and try those copies your self in Bridge to see if they
    reflect all the data you want.
