Photoshop Elements 10 editor lags... doesn't show changes until you click a different tool?

I've been using PSE for many years now... started in 3, moved to 7, and just upgraded to 10. I got it all installed fine, but when I open a file to edit it in the editor, and make a change (add text, change text, run action, erase something, ANYthing I do to the file) the changes don't show until I click a different tool. This is VERY frustrating and there's no way  will be able to use it if that's just how 10 works... but if it's a preference somehow I can't find it! Anyone know what's going on? I can try to explain further if this doesn't make sense.
Thanks in advance!
Maggie

  • Photoshop Elements Editor 11 only wants to open once

    My problem is as follows: 1) I use Photoshop Elements (11) Organisor, 2) then open the Editor to edit a specific photo, 3) close the Editor and return to the Organiser, 4) after a while I want to edit a second photo, and give the command to open the Editor; 6) the Editor doesn't want to start anymore. If I close the Organiser as well and then restart Photoshop Elements in order to open the Editor, this won't help: I have to restart my computer in order to be able to open the Photoshop Elements Editor!
    I use Photoshop Elements since March 2013. This problem occurs since a few weeks. How can I solve this problem?

    The File->Open Recent files show recent files list. If you are talking about files automatically reopens in PSE then there is an option on Mac under Settings->general which says "Restore..."
    Also found an issue with 10.8 here http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1326035
    Please see if it helps.

  • Photoshop Element Editor 12 does not start

    Few days ago I installed Photoshop Elements 12. It worked fine, however today I decided to re-roll my system to the version prior to PSE installation. After reinstalling PSE12 I couldn't launch Editor - Organiser works fine.
    Editor doesn't start if I try to opent it directly from .exe file, from Organiser or from Welcome screen. In Task Manager Photoshop Elements Editor program appears for a few seconds, later PDapp.exe appears and nothing happens.
    I tried to reinstall the program removing all folders (also from "AppData" folder) but it hasn't helped.
    Any idea how to solve the problem?

    I decided to restore system because of some strange short (1-3s.) hang-ups.They started after installing last windows update.
    I am using Win 7. I tried normal normal uninstaller.
    Finally, I deleted some folders in CommonFiles/Adobe connected with PSE12 and with licence manager and then after reinstalling PSE I need to sign in to my Adobe account and everything works fine now.

  • "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"...message

    I am very very very new to this...and have had so much trouble I'm ready to ask for a refund!  After installing and watching tutorials and not being able to load any pictures to the 'organizer'...(my autoplay does not show the "Organize and Edit Photos" or show the Photo Downloader...I finally called Customer Service.  He told me I needed to uninstal and reinstall.  Ok..I've done that.  But it's still not on Autoplay.  At least he showed me where the file menu is on the 'organizer', so I could get some pictures in there.  But when I click on 'Edit Photos', I get the pop-up message, "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"....It never HAS worked....This thing just came out of the box today and has too many problems for a newby like me.  What is the problem?  Actually, there are the two problems.  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. Let me know if you have any comments.
    Thanks

  • Photoshop Elements editor does not open from Lightroom edit command

    I have PSE 12 and LR 4.4 on iMac 10.9.5.  My LR preference is set to PSE Editor and was done so by LR, I cannot change it.  When I try to edit in PSE, an 8 bit Tiff is created then I get the error message that "there was a problem.......".  In the details is this line: 
    Dyld Error Message:
      Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/AdobeLinguistic.framework/Versions/3/AdobeLinguistic
      Referenced from: /Volumes/VOLUME/*/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor
      Reason: image not found
    I do not understand this, but the problems seems related to the Library, which, I don't know.  I had PSE 12.1, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled PSE 12.0.  It made no difference, same error message.

    Before anybody asks, no the editor won't open from the startup screen nor from the right click menu when displaying a folder with pictures.  

  • If I buy/download photoshop elements onto my work laptop, then change my laptop, will i be able to transfer my licence onto the new machine.

    If I buy/download photoshop elements onto my work laptop, then change my laptop, will i be able to transfer my licence onto the new machine.

    Yes. You are allowed to install PSE on two computers at once, but if you don't need it on the first computer anymore, go to editor>help>sign out to deactivate it and free up one of your activations for future use.
    As for moving your photos and catalogs to another computer, see:
    Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later

  • Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Edit

    Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
    I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

    Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

    Hi Christoph and WarriorAnt,
    Thank you both for the replies.
    I don't know anything about GarageBand because I've never used it. I've never used any music software before, (other than iTunes, Ha!)
    I don't have GarageBand on my Mac because it wasn't stock on the old Powerbook G4, so I would have to buy it. I'm happy to do that if I can figure out that it does what I want ... but I'm overwhelmed by the info at Apple's site. Too much for a beginner like me. Even the wikipedia.com entry for GB uses too many terms I don't know, so I'm easily lost.
    I just want to be able to set up drum loops and play along with them. The main thing is that I'm able to use third party loops. There are so many really amazing loop products out there ... jungle drums, acoustic jazz drums, lounge, etc. I don't want to get caught up in anything proprietary (like Band-In-A-Box) because the selection is limited. I'm sure GarageBands loops are great, but I want access to all these other third party loops as well ... loops that were not specifically made for GarageBand.
    Will GarageBand let me drop in any and all drum loops from these other companies?
    And does GarageBand work like a basic sequencer, where I can program up an intro, X number of measures of a loop, then a turnaround, then a variation loop, then an ending, etc?
    I know the high-end stuff like Native Instruments Kontakt does this, but unfortunately it also does a kazillion other professional-level things I will never need and don't want to pay for (and which make the software more complex and daunting).
    Thank you again, both of you, for responding and helping me with this project.
    Just a little more advice on those two questions would really go a long way.
    -JOHN

  • Photoshop elements editor does not open

    I had photoshop elements 12 for windows working fine on windows 7 professional 64 bit .   Then recently attempted to  install the12.1 upgrade which failed with the usual lack of any useful information.
    I removed elements, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, ran the update successfully, rebooted and now, as has been since the upgrade attempt, the editor won't start.  If I right click a photo in the organizer and pick edit, I get a message "Loading the Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor Workspace..." for a couple of minutes, the message disappears, and no editor appears.
    How do I diagnose and fix?

    Before anybody asks, no the editor won't open from the startup screen nor from the right click menu when displaying a folder with pictures.

  • Error message - photoshop elements editor has stopped working

    Hi - I've installed photoshop elements 8 twice, and I still get the error message "photoshop elements editor has stopped working" .  I can't seem to get beyond this point.  My system is Windows Vista.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

    I suddenly started getting the same error message and was reaching my wits end in trying to find a solution.
    This may sound bizarre, and you may not have the same situation as I found, but check your system/Windows date setting.
    Somehow, the year on my system had become 2096. I corrected it, and bingo! PSE 8 Editor works again.
