Photoshop elemenst 2 - PLEASE help!

I've installed PSE 2 and am trying to use it in a standard user account. However it cannot initialize and so I cannot open the program.
I've searched and found this on adobe's site;
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/325856.html
This is exactly the problem I'm having, but as you can see the instructions for the fix are for jaguar.
Granted the permissions structure is pretty much the same in tiger, I cannot make any changes to the Access boxes as they are greyed out.
Please someone help - I REALLY need this app working.
P.s. I have had this program running before in on my computer - so it is tiger compatible.
Thanks

I believe you need to login with an administrator account. You can then change the permissions. Although I just checked mine, and Others already have Read&Write permissions, and I'm sure I never tinkered with it. Anyway, once you are logged on as an admin you can click the padlock next to the Owner, enter your password if necessary, and then change the group and give Read&Write to everyone and Others, and click the Apply button.

  • Problem installing Adobe Photoshop CS4. Please help me.

    Hi Geeks,
    I am stuck with Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) installation since last two days. I am desperately looking for help to get rid of this problem.
    My Problem:
    At the end of installation of Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) i was prompted with en error
    message stating some of the components were not installed.  When I check the more information button provided in the error message window, it showed below error.
    “Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack Error: Error 2.”
    Still I could find the installed Photoshop in C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe
    When I executed above file; application showed below error message and close it.
    “Some of the application components are missing from the application directory, Please reinstall the application.”
    I just try to run Adobe Device Central CS4 which was installed along with it.  It showed below error message.
    “The Localized resource files for this application could not be loaded. Please reinstall or repair the application and try again.”
    So My Problem is I am unable to open Photoshop CS4 after its unsuccessful installation.
    I spent more than a day in different ways as I explained below in more info section.  I am desperately looking for helping hands to fix this problem.
    I ever find this kind of difficulty with any other components installation in my 10 years of development experience.  Please help me.
    More info:
    (1) I have downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) in this month (July 09) from adobe official site.
    (2) My PC OS Windows XP SP3.
    (3) Prior to install Photoshop CS4 I had Acrobat reader 8 and Adobe DW CS4.
    (4) After I read some stuff on net, I downloaded both Windows install Clean up and CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe.
    (5) First I uninstalled all DW CS4 and Photoshop CS4 using add/remove then rebooted.
        then ran CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe (which really did not removed as it did not
        find any Adobe component), then installed Photoshop CS4. No luck. same error.
    (6) This time I ran CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe and removed DW CS4, Photoshop CS4 and flash and rebooted. Then I ran Photoshop CS4 as Administrator. Same thing repeated at the end of installation and when I tried to open the photoshop.  Finding a real hard time with it.
    Any kind of help to get rid of this problem would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    R Sunil.

    PS CS4 software itself has to be installed as Admin. Put the downloaded folder on the desktop (if not there already). Open the folder and right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin.
    Install on C drive is the best stable choice.
    Before you do all this make the anti-virus is turned off. If windows defender is running turn that off too. If Adobe reader is installed renove that. Ensure no other adobe products are running in the background.
    During install the process will hang at 90 percent for about 10 to 15 mins. This is normal.
    After the software is installed reboot computer.
    After reboot go to start, All Programs and right click on PS CS4. Click on properties, Compatibility and check run as Admin. Hit Apply and OK to close. Run PS CS4 and update to 11.0.1
    Be Advised:
    Now the biggest problem you might run into is that the trial install went too far and failed. If this happened you cannot re-install PS CS4 trial because of the DRM that is hidden in the registry hive. The hidden DRM prevents people from installing the trial more then once and limits the trial at 30 days. There is nothing you can do other then nuking the hard drive and a fresh install of your operating system.

  • Unable to download Adobe Photoshop Elements 13, please help?

    Hi,
    I am unable to download Photoshop 13. I have bought it and have an activation code but the download just isn't happening.
    It starts to run, so I click 'Open/Run' when it appears on the bottom downloads bar, then nothing happens.
    Even when I go in the downloads folder on my pc and select the download itself in there, nothing happens.
    I have plenty of memory on my laptop as most of my stuff is on my external hardrive.
    Norton antivirus keeps telling me it is safe so it isn't being blocked by an antivirus program.
    I am really confused, please help.

  • Photoshop WONT OPEN. PHOTOSHOP CC 2014 PLEASE HELP!!

    So, I downloaded and installed creative cloud, and i installed photoshop, but when i click it, absolutely nothing happends, and i have tried many suggestions but nothing happends at all. So please help!

    I did resolve my issue by re-installing Portraiture 2.1. The latest version 2.3 would not run for me as I am still using CS3.  I suspect that when you originally ran the trial version, you, too, were running 2.1.  Contact Ani at [email protected] for assistance.  I hope this is helpful.

  • CC won't let me reinstall Photoshop CS6. Please help.

    I had Photoshop CS6 on my computer and CC kept offering me an upgrade. Whenever I tried to upgrade, I got an error that it was unsuccessful. This happened several times. So I decided to uninstall Ps and then reinstall it. But now that it's gone, CC won't let me download and reinstall. It still wants me to upgrade what it thinks is on my computer. So I tried the upgrade, and that didn't work to reinstall Ps.
    Can someone please tell me what I need to do to reinstall Ps CS6 onto my computer?
    Thanks,
    Sue

    NEVERMIND!!!!
    I searched and searched. Finally figured out that I needed to sign out of CC completely, then sign back in. Once I did that, CC saw that I didn't have Ps on my computer, and I was able to reinstall it.
    I hope this helps someone else.

  • My photoshop keep crashing please help.

    Recently my photoshop cs5.1 keep crashing and quit unexpectedly. This happened more and more often. Every time I use eyedropper tool on the out side of the canvas(I mean the gray area) it just quit. I try reinstall my photoshop and it still happening. It never happened before. By the way I use photoshop on mac and under OS X system. Anyone knows why this happen? Thank you so much.

    Please read this and proceed accordingly (restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be of special interest):

  • I can't get Imagenomic Portraiture trial to work in Photoshop cc 2014 please help?

    I have previously used the trial successfully but it expired and I deleted it and then bought the Portraiture package only to be told that I have to install the trial and can then only enter the license key. The trial installs successfully ie I get the green tick for successful installation but it does not show up in my Photoshop Filters? I have contacted Imagenomic who are virtually impossible to contact and then are not interested in your problems once they have your money. Can you believe this level of customer service???  So frustrated.
    What I have tried:
    Quit PS before installation.
    Shutdown before and after installation.
    Checked System requirements for the software see below, it looks ok to me? ( I see below it is OK for PS CC but PS CC2014 is not specifically mentioned, could this be a problem now bearing in mind that I did get it to work on CC 2014 before?)
    Installing via Firefox and via Safari.
    My workware: MAcBook Pro OSX 10.9.4
                           Photoshop CC 2014
                           Imagenomic Portraiture trial current trial download version.
                            The trial I am trying to download is : Portraiture Plugin for Adobe Photoshop CS5/CS6/CC 
                                                                                      and Photoshop Elements 11/12 - Mac OS X 10.7/10.8/10.9 v.2.3.3 build 2330
                                                                                      Mac OS X 10.7.x/10.8.x/10.9.x, 1GB RAM, 100MB HDD, 1280x800 min resolution, Photoshop CS5/CS6/CC or Elements 11/12  ( this is the same one that I did
                                                                                      get to work before)

    I did resolve my issue by re-installing Portraiture 2.1. The latest version 2.3 would not run for me as I am still using CS3.  I suspect that when you originally ran the trial version, you, too, were running 2.1.  Contact Ani at [email protected] for assistance.  I hope this is helpful.

  • Photoshop Elements 6 please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've installed the program on my computer but when I click on it
    , it won't open just does that little spinning blue circle and stops. I know
    the disk is good because I had it on my computer before it crashed. Now
    trying to put it back but won't open. Please help

    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.
    OR
    Any network printers installe on the machine might be the cause of the issue. Choose different default printer.
    Let me know your comments if it works.

  • .jpg extension in Adobe Photoshop Elements 7  please help

    I am currently using Photoshop
    Elements 7.  When I went to save a photo, the .jpg extension has been dropped in the save as
    dialog box.  The only option I have is JPG 2000.  I have installed the most recent update to Adobe.  I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the software and the extension is still not there.  I have gone to the patch area, reviewed the forums, and can not find a fix.  Is there a place in photoshop where I could have turned off the option?  Or is there a patch/update I have not seen?  Thank you in advance for the help!

    What type of file is your source file? Make sure it's no more than 8 bit.
    If using layers e.g. to add adjustments or text you fist need to click layers > Flatten Image and then save.
    It’s possible the image is just too big - try to re-size.

  • Photoshop not opening - please help!

    Hi guys,
    I'm having problems whenever I try and open my copy of Photoshop CS5. It fails and gives the message "Could not initialise Photoshop because of a program error".
    All the other Adobe programs I have work fine (and were all part of the same CS5 suite). Also I created another user account and it opens up fine on there. I thought it may have been that I was running an outdated OS, but I've upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and it's still doing the same thing.
    I've searched all around the net for an answer but no one seems to have one. What information do I need to provide to be able to get any help with this?
    Many thanks in advance
    Oli

    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
    As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
    Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
    If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.
