Photoshop Elements 10: Problem opening .csf

Hi,
I'm currently designing the cover for my highschool's yearbook and the company that's printing our books sent us an email with a .csf file telling me to do the following:
"Before starting on your cover, please make sure you have loaded the "Jostens.csf" file.
The attached file “Jostens.csf” is the colour management file that will need to be loaded into the programs you will be using to create the cover. Whether you’re working in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign or Illustrator, the procedure for activating these colour settings is the same.
From the Edit menu, select Colour Settings. Click the Load button and browse to the Jostens.csf file. Select it and click OK. Click OK in the Settings window and your cover file will now be set to print properly at the plant."
Now I tried doing what they told me to but when I go to Color Settings I cannot find a Load button.
I also tried to simply double click the file to load it onto Elements but I get this error message saying:
"Cannot Open 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Required\ColorSettings\Jostens 2015.csf' because it is the wrong type of file."
My question is, how do I load this .csf file into Elements 10?

It looks like a Problem in this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/4004903#4004903, only i have this problem with normla .jpg images. Is there a workaround?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    Hi,
    It seems this is a Microsoft related. You are referring on how to set JPG Image in Photoshop Elements by default. You may try visiting Microsoft's Support page http://support.microsoft.com/ for you to get the correct information/help you need.

    Photoshop Elements won't open. I have tried re-installing. I have windows pro 7

     
    Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    C: à Program Files à Adobe à Photoshop Elements 9
    Within the Photoshop elements 9 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (with the blue icon)
    Select that file and click Next.
    Then click Finish.
    You should now be able to launch by double clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen.

  • Photoshop elements does not open, says "gathering user info...."

    photoshop elements does not open, says "gathering user info...."

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    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.
    Solution 5: Try with admin account or right click and select run as admin. or try directly from .exe

  • Opening NEF file from Nikon D7100 i Photoshop Elements 11, problem.

    Hi
    Photoshop Element no. 11 do not open NEF file from Nikon D7100.
    Versjon of element: Adobe Photoshop Elements Version: 11.0 (11.0 (20120830.r.32025)) x32
    Pleas help me.
    Martin Høegh

    How do I update Adobe Bridge CS4 so that I can view NEF files?
    Unfortunately, you don't. Bridge can never be updated again once a new version of Creative Suite comes out, so bridge CS4 can't be updated past where it was back when CS5 came out. There is no way to make bridge CS4 see the raw files for the D7100, I'm afraid.

  • Aperture 3 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 problems.

    I have installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, which I have setup as plugin for Aperture 3. In Aperture preferences the photos are exported as 8 bit TIFF 300 DPI, no profile and automatically stack new versions selected in general.
    I right click on selected image (version) in Aperture and select edit with Elements, this create another version of the same photo in Aperture but increasing size from say 5MB to around 40MB.   The Elements programme opens in Elements editor but the selected image is not there, I can only drag it in from Aperture.   I then edit the image, then click save, it open a box save as and to a wierd folder like Uwvo2vg  etc.   I click save, get message saying it will overwrite file of same name, click save  using a unique name.   When I go back to Aperture, the edited file is not there and when I search for the unique name, nothing comes up.

    I had somewhat similar problems running Elements 10 as external editor, but under 10.6.8. The simplest fix is to send .psd's instead of .tiff. You can change that in preferences.
    If you must use .tiff (I do, becaues PTLens doesn't like psd) you have to change the file extension to .tiff in the save dialog. Elements saves as .tif and Aperture saves as .tiff. Notice the number of 'f' at end of extension.
    Here's what was happening to me, which is a little different:
    • when you send to external editor, Aperture saves a .tiff and opens it in in Elements
    • you do your work and close the file
    • Elements saves as .tif, and so doesn't overwrite the Aperture tiff.
    • Aperture doesn't know the .tif exists so it shows you the un-edited .tiff that if made at the beginning
    I get around this at the save dialog in Elements. Basically Elements goes into a Save As kind of dialog, so if I add the extra 'f' at the end, Elements asks if I want to over-write the existing file, and when I say yes the changes show in Aperture.
    If you open Elements and go to 'Recent Files' (or something like that), you can see the .tif and .tiff files together. If you delete the .tiff and add the extra 'f' to the Elements .tif, the changes will show in Aperture.
    What you shouldn't be doing is changing the name of the file in Elements. For the edits to show in Aperture you need to save the file with the same name and change the extension to .tiff. The file that Elements saves must have exactly the same name as the one Aperture made, because that's the file that Aperture knows about.
    If you do a library database repair, Aperture will find these .tifs and add them to the library, but they won't be where they should be. The show up in a recovered file folder at the bottom.
    Note that Elements 8 didn't have this kind of trouble. And note that I'm not running Lion, so some of the behaviors I describe may be different that what Lion users see.

  • Photoshop Elements 6 not opening jpegs following adjustment.

    I am getting the following error message: Photoshop Elements could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete).
    This error message has occured with images that I have imported and renamed in Bridge and to which I have made adjustments in Photoshop Elements 6.  The images which I have renamed but not resized or adjusted or touched in any way are opening without a problem. Whatever the problem it is doesn't seem to be anything to do with re-naming. This problem has occured previously but because it involved only a small number of files I just re-did them and the problem did not re-occur. On this occasion it's 40+ files so it's time to find out the cause if possible. Help would be appreciated. Thanks - Victor

    Your computer may have insufficient RAM. When adding text you are temporarily increasing the file size by adding a new Layer (the text layer) which requires more memory.
    Try this:
    Add your text, then click Layer >>Flatten image. Then save and press Ctrl+W to close the file. Then move to your next open file and repeat.
     

  • Photoshop Elements (4.0) - opening iPhoto photos

    I'm using both iPhoto '08 (v 7.1.3) and Photoshop Elements 4.0. While in Elements, I do a file - open and browse to my Photos folder but the 'iPhoto Library' is grayed out.
    How can I easily edit my photos that I've imported into iPhoto with Elements?

    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.
    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 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..
    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
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Photoshop Elements won't open

    I've been using this computer in my workshop for simple things, mostly email, fb, etc. It has had Photoshop CS (very old, not sure what version) and Photoshop Elements 2.0 on it and both have been working fine. Just brought it into the house to use in the office after my slightly newer, but still old, iMac G5 died. I'm hoping to use it for a short time while figuring out what to do next regarding a newer computer. I've gotten it connected to printer and scanner with a bit of trouble due to trying to find old drivers again. That's really all I'm aware of having changed. Now suddenly PE and P CS won't open. I reinstalled PE (which is what I use most); no change. It starts to open, then just quits. I've clicked on "report" and see the following:
    Date/Time:      2012-04-11 00:02:41.529 -0400
    OS Version:     10.4.11 (Build 8S165)
    Report Version: 4
    Command: Photoshop Elements 2.0
    Path:    /Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 2/Photoshop Elements 2.0/Contents/MacOS/Photoshop Elements 2.0
    Parent:  WindowServer [66]

    Of course there's lots more but that's the part with the bad words like "bad access" and "invalid address" and such. I'm hoping someone can tell me what is going on; perhaps you know what the above means? Or maybe there is some other clue here? I'd be grateful. Thanks for reading.

    PS Just to be clear, no major changes in software; I have been running both Photoshop programs on this computer, with OS 10.4.11, since getting the computer as a hand-me-down a couple of months ago. I did update OS, Safari, and a few other things at that time, as well as maxing the memory, deleting many programs and files I'll never use, etc. Installed PE 2.0 at that time. CS was already on it. Both have worked just fine. When I reinstalled PE the installer said it had installed properly.

    Well, just in case someone else checks in here with the same problem. Got both programs working just fine again. I hunted up other threads on the same topic; several had posts suggesting trashing certain plug-ins and/or prefs. I'd tell you exactly what but I did a bunch and not sure which solved it. With Photoshop CS 8.0, I deleted plist in user library; no change; then deleted twain plug-in, now it opens just fine. I don't exactly comprehend why, but so far so good. If I have any other useful observations I will post them.
    Judy
    PS I ordered a PRAM battery and will replace that anyway, just because I'm certain it is quite old; perhaps this will prevent other problems popping up. I need to get a bit more use out of this nice old machine!

  • Photoshop elements will not open

    My photoshop elements 10 and my phoposhop CS3 will not open at all they go to a black screen.Three days ago it opened. before that it had not opened for several days. Before the problem with it not opening, it would not load photos to edit them. I have tryed to look at the compatability, etc.
    I am afraid to delete and reinstall. When I look in my photos I do not see the photos that I have edited. HELP

    Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
    Hold down the Ctrl + Shift keys and click Organizer. Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
    Select your catalog and click Repair.  Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
    Then for good measure, click Optimize.
    If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog.  If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
    Check for Task Manager and end the "ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe" file and then try.
    - Try launching Organizer directly from the exe with Admin rights.

  • Please help - Photoshop Elements won't open

    Hi,
    I just bought photoshop elements, installed it and everything was fine.  Like a dope, I downloaded a graphic from a website, and tons of adware/malware was also loaded on my computer.  I couldn't stand all the popups and junk, so i used the Dell Restore to restore the computer to the point right before I loaded photoshop.  After that was done, I reloaded photoshop, and now I can't get in to the program.  (The popups went away.) The opening screen comes up, I choose "photo editor" instead of "organize"...the moving ribbon comes up as if it was thinking, and then it goes away and the opening screen stays there.  No error messages.  If I choose Organize, I can get in to the photo organizing section with no problem.
    I'm running Windows 7.  I tried uninstalling photoshop, reinstalling it, uninstalling it, ran the cc cleaner, reinstalled it, uninstalled it and removed the preferences, rebooted a million times, uninstalled and reinstalled again....I still can't get in.  If I click on a .psd file the opening screen comes up and it sill just sits there.  I went into Organize and loaded an update, that went fine, but still can't get in to photoshop.  I can't do the restore to an earlier date, since I installed and uninstalled the program so many times, I lost that ability.
    I see a lot of people asking the same question in these forums, but I don't see any answers.  Can anyone help?  I appreciate any assistance you can give me!  I was so excited to use the program, and now it seems like I'll be shut out until I get a new computer, which is not going to happen soon!
    Thank you,
    Holly

    Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down Ctrl+alt+shift. Keep those keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
