Photoshop CC vs Elements - Functionlity

In Elements I could create a new document right from the file menu from the clipboard. I could also click pixels in my document to select that layer, rather than holding control, that selecting the layer it thinks I want from a list. I also do not fully understand how undo is working in CC. I find it very confusing. I'm sure I have it set to step back (Like in Elements) but sometimes it just stops working. I really don't get why we don't have a traditional Undo option? I was told there is one in CS6 so I got CC... But it seems to have been removed? These issues are minor inconveniences. But I got CC thinking it would be only more convenient. It's the same with exporting animated gifs - everything seems to take an extra click or so now. Am I missing something?
Sorry if this sounds like a rant, it sort of is, but I'm just irritated that I keep finding that things are interrupting my workflow. Hopefully someone can help with the above problems? (Particularly explaining the various Undo options )

With the Move Tool selected check "Auto-Select" in the Options Bar.

That description is useless for trouble-shooting, please read this (in particular the section titled "Supply pertinent information for quicker answers"):

Did you not notice Edit > Undo or what are you talking about?
Edit:

Undo undoes the last step, if the last step was Undo itself then that is undone, meaning the undone step is recreated.

How many times can I install Photoshop and Premiere Elements 13?

How many times can I install Photoshop and Premiere Elements 13?

mbuenger
Are you referring to how many times can I install, uninstall, reinstall Photoshop Elements 13 or Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer?
Or, how many of your computers can have a same purchased activated serial number at the same time for either of these products?
If the former, I know of no limit.
If the latter, the answer would be as John as mentioned.

I bought the Adobe student version of Photoshop and Premiere Elements a few months ago - and now I am trying to use it, and the serial number that I have is incorrect - or it is only the registration number or something? It says I should have been sent an email with the serial number once the product was registered - But I never received this email. If anyone is able to help me with this issue - that would be great. the registration number is: PEPEP6-5578-6450-8871-9107 I am using a windows based system

If I were you I would first make sure CS6 was deactivated or signed-out. Then download Adobe's cleaner and remove cc, CS6 and any other creative application installed including Creative Cloud desktop application. Then install CS6 and use your CS6 serial number during the install to activate CS6 standard or extended which ever the serial number is for. CS6 Version 13.0 should the be activated. That level of CS6 is extremely bug ridden so be sure to the use CS6 menu Help>Updates to get CS6 updates. Windows should update to version 13.0.1.3 Mac to version 13.0.6. Not Subscription CS6 version 13.1.2...
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Let us go through the usual drill on this...Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit)
1. Are you running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges? Go to Local Disk C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Elements 13, find the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file, right click it, select and apply Run As Administrator from the pop up menu that appears, and then double click that file to determine if you can open the program from it.
2. Does the problem issue exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
3. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
4. How many video cards/graphics cards do you find under Device Manager/Display Adapters, what card name, driver date and up to date version number?
When you say it will not run...how far into the program do you get...
a. no further than the Welcome Screen and Video/New Project
b. other
If non of the above gets us anywhere, we may go for
a. deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 13.0 Folder in which it exists
and, if necessary, then
b. the uninstall, free ccleaner run through, and reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
Details to follow if needed.
We will be watching for your results and then decide what next.

Is there any "simple" documentation on the steps to download and install Photoshop and Premiere Elements V13? The downloads seems to work but there's nothing clear on what do you do next.

I've been messing with computers since 1958 and I've never seen such a mess as trying to download and install the recently purchased copies of Photoshop and Premiere Elements Version 13. Slow downloads? Sure, but I can live with that. But once downloaded, what next? Look for a xxx.exe file somewhere in the pile? Read the "ReadMe" file? All I seem to get is unzipping some files with nothing leading me into the proper steps. I can't even seem to get off the ground. Everything I touch unzips and just lies there. I hate to think I've gone dumb after all of these years, but "user friendly" this is not. My "Your order confirmation" sheet gives me "Follow the instructions below to start using it today" and the first three steps work as you'd expect. Step 4 states "After you have completed the download process, your serial number will be displayed in the download center." Step 5 is "You can log back into 'Adobe Account Management' in the future to re-download your product or retrieve your serial number. ...." I have no problem with my serial number but there seems to be a lot missing between Steps 4 and 5. It would be nice to have this information as pretty standard "stuff. Computers are supposed to do super stuff without a lot of time-consuming problems with a simple process like installing the software. I'm feeling a bit hostile about this but it is a time-consuming, frustrating process.

Comparing Photoshop CS2 and Elements 4.0

[If this has already been addressed in this forum, I apologize in advance, but I haven't seen it, at least not addressing the questions below. I also apologize to those who read this on both the Photoshop and the Elements sites.]
For years I've been taking point-and-shoot digital pictures and processing them through one or another photo software doing nothing more than removing red-eye and cropping. I've recently decided to take up digital photography as a hobby and plan to buy a good digital SLR as well as good photoprinter. My method has been to read before buying (and to ask questions on sites such as this one). When I finally start shooting and editing, I want to learn software that I'll stick with, rather than have to relearn, and although I don't have to watch every penny, I don't want to waste money. So here's my question? Should I start with Elements 4.0 or go right to CS2. I may never need CS2, as I'm not planning a career or even a full-time avocation, but I might. So here's the sort of thing I'm confident I will want to do: manipulate RAW photos before processing them in Photoshop; work on differentially changing the exposures within a photo (e.g., adjusting the brightness of the foreground and background differentially, as I've seen talked about in some articles); if I get lucky enough to produce a worthwhile image, enlarge it (using Genuine Fractal's or the like) to make a frame-size print; these are just examples. My understanding is that all of this is possible in Elements, but may be easier in CS2. Also, there may be more advanced features that I'll want to use in CS2 but don't don't yet recognize. Finally, cutting the other way, I don't plan to abandon the point-and-shoot red-eye elimination (and skin tone correction) process for snapshots of the kids to post and send to family etc. So I would welcome any advice on whether I should start with Elements (and maybe stay there forever), go right to CS2, or get both using Elements for snapshots and CS2 for hobby work. (By the way, I've checked the Adobe site, which offers a comparison chart, but it was too imprecise to be useful.)
Thanks in advance.

I'm a year and a half into pse3. My wife gave it to me shortly after I bought a G6, my first digicam. I am still learning all the features of the G6 (after using Olympus OM 2N for years), so learning the camera and software keeps me going.
As to PSE I find it an incredible piece of software that continues to amaze me with so many features to tweak photos. I have bought 3 books; Barb's Missing Manual, Scott Kelby's book and PSE for Dummies. I find that as I shoot more photos and re-read these books as well as the forums I keep coming up with ideas to tackle.
I am retired so I have lots of time to fiddle (but I have lots of other stuff on the go). I'm now just getting into understanding adjustment layers (although I have been using them without getting in to what is actually happening)and I have been importing a few PS actions into PSE (although I think you cannot do this with PSE4)
Every once and a while I think about PS CS2; I could see myself getting it but there's no hurry as there's still lots to learn in pse and the results I get continue to bring on new and better results.
The idea of buyinhg a tablet is a good one if you get PSE with it and you can use a tablet right off the bat. I'm also looking at tablets but to get it at the front end along with the G6 and PSE would have been too overwhelming for me....not to mention being stuck behind a computer for 25 hours/day
You will also find a ton of resources on the web for PSE, enough to keep you happy for a long time.
I am told that CS2 has a much steeper learning curve, but if you run with PSE first much of it is applicable
And then there are stand a lone shows for slides such as ProShow which goes beyond the slideshow in PSE. ProShow together with PSE is awesome.
Happy hunting

Photoshop and premiere elements will not start

If there has been an answer, I apologize for asking, I'm haven't gotten any answers from adobe chat and have reached frustration!
I have photoshop and premier elements 9 on windows 7. They worked fine for about a year then both recently stopped working, they didn't open. So I uninstalled and reinstalled from the disk and they worked.
A few days later, the same story. They stopped opening. I've only installed the programs on this one computer.
I could reinstall again and see if that works, but I think there is a 2 computer license which I might have reached since I couldn't deactivate before reinstalling because I couldn't access the program. It also seems silly to reinstall every time I need to use it.
All ideas appreciated!
Anne

Bypass the Unwelcome Screen by creating Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor, and restarting your computer.
The Editor's executable is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
The Organizer's executable is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
The Unwelcome Screen leaves a zombie process running which prevents the actual program from launching again.

I need to reinstall Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10. Where can I find the download link?

I need to reinstall Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10 on my Windows Laptop. Where can I find the download link?

If you registered your copy with adobe, you may find download links by going to the main page of adobe.com and clicking on My Adobe and working through the links there. If they're still available there, save the downloads this time, don't just run them, since adobe only makes those available for about 3 years.

Which files need installation for Photoshop and Premiere Elements 9

In the list of files for download for the Photoshop and Premiere Elements 9 Plus package that I just purchased,
(Windows 7) there is a single "Premiere Content ALL" file of ~4.2GB. There are also 6 files called "Premiere
Content 1" (and 2 2nd 3), and "Premiere Content 1 HD" (and 2 and 3).
After smooth installs of the PSE and PRE programs proper, in doing the install of the "Premiere Content ALL"
file, it seems like the "Content 1-3 and 1-3 HD" files were included in it (judging by the file nmes flashing on
the screen during the install, and in poking around in the install directory).
What I would like to know is: are the 6 Content 1-3 and 1-3 HD file included in the Content ALL file, and if so,
are they at the same revision level as what's in the Content ALL file.
I don't want to just try installing the individual Content files over the ALL file install, as that might well screw
something or other up.
I tried getting an answer to this on the phone with Adobe support, but could not get an unambiguous answer
from either of the two support people I spoke to.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks ...
/kim

Thanks for the reply.   The real question though was/is are ALL the files contained in the 6 separate content archive files
(Content 1, Content 2, Content 3, Content HD 1, Content HD 2, and Content HD 3) also contained in the single archive
file called Content ALL?
Since I was unable to get a definitive answer to that question, I went ahead and downloaded all 7 of the Content archive
files, extracted all of the archived files in the *.7z files and compared the timestamps and sizes of the files in the 6 individual archives to the timestamps and sizes of the files from the "ALL" archive.   The files within the 6 archives matched those
in the ALL archive.
And since the sizes of all 7 *.exe files are identical, I suspect they are all the same and simply invoke an unarchiver
for their respective 7z file, using their own filename as the argument to the builtin program.
The overall result is that I have verified to my own satisfaction that the contents of the 6 individual Content XX files
*are* contained within the single Content ALL file.
It would have been NICE if Adobe had bothered to TELL their customers that, so they wouldn't spend twice the time in
downloading 6 unnecessary files which in reality just duplicate the ALL file.   Plus in my case, spending an hour or
two verifying that the contents of the 6 files were also in the ALL file.   Sheesh.
C'est la vie ...

Moving locked photos from photoshop 3 to elements 7 to unlock them.

When I migrated photos from a locked photoshop 3 on one hard drive to photoshop elements 7 on another hard drive, I still cannot get the photos to open, I get the missing file message and it will not reconnect the missing file or locate the missing file. The two hard drives do not have the same serial number. Can anyone tell me how to get the photos from the locked photoshop 3 to elements 7 or how to correct the missing file problem.

Photoshop elements 3.0 starter edition was installed on my computer by
Dell. I upgraded to photoshop elements 4.0 but did not register the
3.0 edition. I did register the 4.0 edition. I want to move photos
from 3.0 to 4.0
I am confused about your exact sequence of events
Did you ever actually use that version 3 starter edition which came preloaded?
(you mention seeing photos behind the Register v3 pop-up)
You say that you upgraded to version 4 - did you upgrade just recently ? I wonder because PSE 4 first became available in the 4th quarter of 2005.
Also, a more specific question -- did you import any new photos to the version 4 Organizer catalog? Or are all your photos in the v3 starter edition?
Normally, I would expect that you could upgrade the v3 starter edition catalog to a v4 PSE catalog AND that you would do that upgrade before you started to use PSE 4.
Perhaps the answeers to my questions above will provide more information so that I and others on the forum can make recommendations.

How to use Photoshop CC with Elements Organizer 12

Hi!
I have Photoshop CC and Elements Organizer 12. However, whenever I choose to edit my photos with Photoshop CC, they don't show up as "Edit in Progress" in Organizer. When I save the photos from Photoshop CC, my changes don't update in Organizer. However, Photoshop CC is an option in the Editor menu in Organizer, so Organizer knows that Photoshop CC exists.... Whenever I edit using Elements Editor, everything works as normal. I'm paying money for CC and I can't use it, so I really hope there's a solution!
-BalinKingOfMoria

Hi Balin,
Did you ever find a solution to this. I'm using Elements 11 with CC 2014 and having the exact same frustrating problem. It's so bad I revert to using Elements editor most times now. I rely heavily on organiser for my 50k catalog.
Cheers,

When uploading to Facebook how can I remove the "via Photoshop & Adobe Premiere Elements Uploader" ?

Hi everyone,
I am slowly getting to grips with Premiere Elements12.
When uploading to Facebook how can I remove the "via Photoshop & Adobe Premiere Elements Uploader" ?
I see there was an earlier posting (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3320214#3320214) which was for version 8, and I can understand the issue, but, (assuming its the same issue) has a remove tagline feature been installed??
Is this also the same in the Pro version?

I do not know if Premiere Pro CS6 CC offers an upload to Facebook export. Strictly an Elements Windows person here.
The Premiere Pro Forum is a good place to ask about that.
http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere
I do not have any Facebook accounts, so I cannot answer your specific Facebook question, but generalizing I can offer the following suggestions.
If your issue with Publish+Share/Computer/Social websites/Facebook is with tagging, you might want to check the Facebook web site for the Video Manager section of it (or that by some counterpart name). I know that YouTube at the YouTube web site allows the account holder to go into Video Manager and manage his/her tags for the file uploaded there and displaying. Have you been there and done that type of thing for your Facebook upload.
Please see

Add On...As suggested in your inserted link, in Premiere Elements can you export to file saved to computer hard drive and then upload that file from there to Facebook at the Facebook web site without the tagging issue?

(Photoshop and Premiere Elements 9.0) + (Photoshop cs5 extended) installed all at once any issues?

Hello,
1. I have Photoshop and Premiere Elements 9.0 currently installed. I would like to download and try Photoshop cs5 extended. I know they have different Camera Raw versions and other items different. Will they conflict with each other in any way? Will the newer camera raw support for Photoshop cs5 extended break the older camera raw support in Photoshop and Premiere Elements 9.0?
2. Was also thinking about downloading and checking out Lightroom trial, would the organizer in Photoshop and Premiere Elements 9.0 conflict at all with the bridge or whatever is used in Lightroom?
3. I love the quick touch ups and teeth whitening etc I can do in Photoshop Elements 9.0, is there a comparable tool in Photoshop cs5 extended or Lightroom? I mean I am sure you can do anything in Photoshop if you're good enough at it. But I like that in Photoshop Elements 9.0, it has the dummy version where I simply point highlight and click.
Thank you for your time,
J

Thank you Barbara B.,
Do you know if there is a basic reference somewhere on adobe for performing tasks on both pieces of software? Thanks to you I know how to replace the teeth whitening function, but what about for instance the "slimming" tool, or the eye lash darkening tool etc? I know I can google each tool I am sure. But is there a single "bible" like reference for the various commands or tool functions shared between the two? Are there any books you recommend etc?
Thank you for your time,
