Photoshop Elements 10 option-click issue

New install of Lion Server on a Mac Mini. It appears that the option-click key stroke to select a area of a photo to clone is not working. I get the error below on Elemens 9 and 10.
Could not use the clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined (option-click to define a source point).
Could this be an issue with the Magic Mouse? i used Systems Preferences / Keyboard Prefernces /Show Keyboard viewere to see that when I depress the 'option' key it is actually being depressed. Is the click on the mouse being 'recorded'?
I would just give up and buy Apeture but I have too much invested in Photoshop (software and knowledge). Where should I complain about this issue? Apple Store? This forum?
Could this be an issue with the Magic Mouse? I'm going to install 10 (have 9 installed today) on my Mac Air and use it without a mouse to see if I have the same problem.
Why do I feel like I am blazing trails? I hate that feeling.
Thanks in advance.

Installed Elements 10 trial on my Mac Air no issue. Converted my Magic Mouse over to my Mac Air via bluetooth. !AH AH!!!!!! Same problem. I think I have isolated it to something to do with the Magic Mouse. Tomorrow I will go buy a wired Mac Mouse at the Apple store to see if I have the same issue.
If anyone has some suggestions on how to isolate even more to the Magic Mouse then please step up!

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor Issue

Have downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor from the Mac App Store onto my Mac Book Pro, set iPhoto preferences to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor, but when trying to open a file from my iPhoto library, the following message appears: "unable to complete your request because of a program error". What can I do to resolve this issue?

Are you able to edit an image file that's not in the iPhoto library with PSE 10?
Also the followinjg has some tips on configuring PSE for use inside iPhoto that you may or may not know about:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9/10 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

I had Elements 9 and just purchased elements 10. I tried to install it and have had not luck. I have called the help desk several times with no luck.

I can't figure out how to get it back the way it was. I have tried to uplaod the trial version, the software from the CD I bought, but nothing seems to work. anyone have any suggestions for this?

Photoshop Elements 6 Slideshow Issues

Photoshop Elements 6 Core Version: 6.0 (20070910.r.377499)
Issues:
Ordering Slide Shows
They will not order in File Name order -- Must I do it manually? -- which is silly for a computer
Slide Show Photo Background
File name picked up as title/description which is perfect --
But cannot get a bigger background then picture
This means the title covers picture and / or does not show up well.
Ideally I would like a larger canvas on the bottom of the picture so the text can show up against black or some other color without covering the photo.
This should be easy with canvas size but I cannot get it to work in a slide show.
Should also be able to change text color
Do not mind buying an upgrade but want to make sure these issues can be solved
See these issues in boards but cannot find solutions.
Thanks

the problem seems to be with the mp3,could please specify the size of the audio file which you were using and please try an audio file with a smaller size.

Photoshop CC option-click-layer behavior change -- layers now flatten/disappear

I used to option-click on layers all the time to do various tasks. Now, in Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 I can no longer option-click a layer to copy a layer effect, or apply a clipping mask. Instead, as soon as I click on a layer with the option key engaged, all layers disappear/flatten into one "background layer".
What's changed? And how do I now copy layer effects from one layer to another? The documentation says "drag onto destination layer" but this merely moves the effect from one layer to another, does not copy it. Option-Dragging used to copy an effect, but now any use of the option key flattens all layers together.

Ehh, that shouldn't happen. I just used that feature in Photoshop CC 2014 and it worked fine. Perhaps you should try a preference reset: Hold Cmd+Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop's startup. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.

Photoshop Elements 11 help issue

I've just installed PHotoshop Elements from Apple App Store.
Every time I start the program and click <Help - Photoshop Elements Help> I get this message:
"Mac OS X needs to repair your Library to run applications."
I type my password and click <Repair>, then the help web page opens in my browser.
But I have to repeat that every time I use help after starting the program.
I've run the repair function on Disk Utility, but it didn't solve the problem.
How can I fix that?

It's not easy to say why this is happening as the app store version is a stand alone package which is quite different to the regular retail version.
If I were you I would simply bookmark the help page in your web browser:

Photoshop Elements 10 Installation issue

Good day,
I try to install Photoshop Elements 10 on my computer (Windows 7) but when during the loading I got an error message " HRESULT : 0x80070002".
I do not know what to do.
Could you please help me?
Thank you.
J.

Two steps to try:
Restart your computer and try installing again.
If that still doesn't work, run the System File Check utility with the /scannow option:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
The utility will take a while, so be patient. Even if SFC reports there were no files to repair, it really did repair files, so restart your computer.

Photoshop Elements 12 Default Issue

I have installed PE 12, but I'm unable to open my photos using Photoshop Elements 12 as default. (I must first open PE 12, choose Open: then navigate to the photo.)
I have several other versions of PE installed, including PE 11. Right now when I double-click on a photo, it opens in PE 11. When I choose Open with: the dialog box lists only PE 11. When I go to Choose default program: PE 12 is not shown. When I go to Browse: then navigate to the .exe file for PE 12, my computer just adds another PE 11 to the list.
How do I correct this, so that when I double-click on a photo, it automatically open in PE 12?
Thanks,
Rick

I downloaded a 'trial' edition of Elements 12. When it installed it asked if it was a trial or if I had an activation code. I entered what I have and it completed installing. Running it the first time tells me I have 7 days to complete (can't remember other than login info.) Hope this works!

Photoshop CS6 Options Bar Issue - OSX

Hello,
I am using Photoshop cs6 on my Mac and I hm having trouble with the options bar in the way. When I open two or more windows within Photoshop the options bar is covering up the X's that allows me to close them out and the tabs themselves. I have attached an image to show the problem. I have tried to move the option bar, but it seems that Photoshop wont allow me to do this. I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue or knows how to fix it.
Thanks,
Han

It looks like the tool options bar isn't docked below the menu bar.
You should be able to drag the tool opions bar by the tab on the left side up until you see a blue line and let go to dock the tool options bar.
below is from a windows machine, but as far as i know it should work on a mac as well.

Photoshop Elements 11 printing issue

Doesn't Photoshop Elements 11 support a photo tray option or is it just the main tray on your printer? My printer has a photo tray that I always used in previous Elements versions. Elements 11 doesn't show a photo tray option in printing, what gives???

I had the same problem on my new hp 7520: No option to select the photo tray in Photoshop Elements 10 on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.1).
The solution was to use a preset generated in the seperate program standard on the Mac, Preview. The preset causes an additional window to pop up when you press print, and allows you to select the preset. You don't see this window unless a preset has been generated.
To set a preset in Preview follow these steps (other programs could probably be used to set the preset as well):
1. Select a photo and select print.
2. In the print screen select the paper size (eg. 4x6), then in the option that says preview use the drop down menu to select "printer features" which then brings up the options that we are looking for. Set the paper type (eg. Hp premium papers) and source (photo tray). Now go back to top and in the preset window select "save as" and give it a name (eg. 4x6 photo tray). This has created a preset with specified paper quality, size and source which can be used in Photoshop.
Once the preset is established you can print easily in Photoshop:
1. Select a photo and select print.
2. Select the printer, paper size and print size (should match preset) and select print.
3. Because of the preset, an additional window pops up allowing you to select the printer and the preset, then select print again to send it to the printer.
Of course you can have a number of presets, for different sizes or types of papers, different source trays or even different printers.

Photoshop Elements 12 download issue

Files on the download site for Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 are not complete. The installation errors out. Should be 1.6GB but only 1.13 GB downloads. I have tried it several times

Thank you very much, Pat, for your great help. The link has inspired me to download the trial version from the Adobe website and go from there:
"Adobe Download Assistant" was automatically downloaded before the download of the trial version began. With the "Adobe Download Assistant" up and running, the download of the trial version took within 30 minutes. I then got to enter the serial code of my already purchased PSE 12 right after installation of the trial version and completed the whole set-up process (without even opening or using the trial version at all).
It is rather counter-intuitive that one should start with a trial download even when he has gone straight into buying the product. It was as if the trial version was a bridge to facilitate the official download because the trial version provided the "Adobe Download Assistant". Maybe, it is expected that people would always take a trial before buying? Or maybe, it is expected that most people would already have the "Adobe Download Assistant" handy?
Anyway, I am glad there is a solution. In this case, I think the key is to get the "Adobe Download Assistant" which comes with the trial version. Hope this post will help others who might face the same issue too.
Many thanks again.

Photoshop Album to Photoshop elements File size issue

I have used album v2 for a few years, and only import proxy files from off-line media (CD/DVD) to keep the backup file small which makes it easier to keep 2 computers on the same page..(15000 image files = 6GB) I make a backup to a portable drive monthly, and restore to 2nd pc.. etc
I have converted the catalogue into elements 9 succesfully, and it correctly points to the relevent discs if I need the full res files.
My question is.. Can I do this sort of import in Photoshop Elements 9? In album there was a check box for keeping the files off-line during import and to name the disc for reference , but I cant see this in elements... Perhaps I am missing something obvious..
Looking through the dialoge boxes, I wonder if you import the full res file, then move/copy to disc leaving behind the proxy...
I am on the trial, and dont want to buy if its not what I want..
Apologies if this topic is listed elsewhere.. I have looked, but cant find one..
Thanks for any pointers,

I'm not sure but it sounds a lot like the question I posed to the forum a little later today. It may be that the newer versions of PSE are not compatible with transfering all the Categories, Sub Categories and Tags from versions up to PSE 10. I am presently using PSE 10 because I couldn't figure out how to save all the organization I have put into Elements over the past 10 years or so.
I'm hoping for an answer to my question.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 activation issue on MAC running Parallels Desktop for Windows 7

I have a MacBook Pro laptop running both OSX and Windows 7 (using Parallels Desktop). I installed the MAC version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 when I booted in the MAC OSX mode. I also Installed Adobe Photoshop 10 in the Windows 7 mode (running as a virtual machine using Parallels Desktop). Both programs indicate that they are activated. If I boot the computer in the Windows 7 mode (not using Parallels Desktop) and start the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 program it indicates that it is NOT activated and that I "already have two copies activated".
Question: Since I only actually have two copies activated how do I get the program activated for the Windows 7 boot operating mode?
Thanks in advance.
