Photoshop elements 10 set as desktop wallpaper function is flawed

when I right mouse click a picture in organizer to "set as desktop wallpaper" it sets the picture on the desktop as 4x3 only nopt 16x9 or widescreen.
If I select the same pic anywhere else it can be set as a widescreen desktop wallpaper, but NOT in Photoshop elewments 10

Hi,
This is weird.
I'm using PSE 10 on a Win 7 system and when I select Set as Desktop Wallpaper I get the following results on a 16:9 monitor:
1) Image cropped to 16:9 aspect ratio - full screen, no black border
2) Image cropped to 4:3 aspect ratio - no black borders top or bottom, only left and right
3) Image cropped to 3:4 aspect ratio - no black borders top or bottom, only left and right
The fact that 2 & 3 are the same is not what I expected.
I am one of the old school that grew up with CRT monitors so I have a selection of images that change regularly so as not to burn into the tube - doesn't matter these days of LCD monitors but it's nice to have the picture change now and then.

How do I set the desktop wallpaper with an image in aperture 3?

Sorry for the silly question, but I can't find how to set my desktop wallpaper with an image in aperture 3. It was simple when using Iphoto, but I can't find the method in aperture.
Thanks,
Dale.

Command(⌘)-9 is no longer listed in the list of default keyword shortcuts, and it has no effect.
I wrote a little Automator service to bring the Command(⌘)-9 back.
A copy of this service is here for download:
http://dreschler-fischer.de/scripts/SetDesktopPicture.workflow.zip
This service uses three actions:
Aperture: Get selected images
Export Masters
Finder: Set the Desktop Picture
To install it, open the workflow in Automator and save it as service.
To use it, select any image in Aperture, then activate the service from the Aperture menu -> Services, and it will set the master of the selected image as Desktop picture.
If you like, you can assign the Command(⌘)-9 key to the service (in the System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts Panel) and then turn any image you selected into Desktop wallpaper by simply pressing (⌘)-9.
@Frank Caggiano, if you are still following this thread: for some reason this workflow succeeds with exporting the master, but I could not get it to work with the versions instead. Any ideas?
Caution: this service will clutter the Desktop with the exported images. If you want to avoid that, change the export action to export the image to a different folder.

After using firefox to set the desktop wallpaper i cannot change the wallpapre without using firefox

i cannot change my desktop wallpaper unless i am online using firefox

Open a image in windows 7 and right click choose set as wallpaper.
if you think its firefox problem, try in safemode. and try the above line
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

How does Photoshop Elements set the histogram pixel count (Y value)?

I use histograms a lot to evaluate the quality of an image. But I've noticed that some histograms have "flat peaks". I don't think that indicates real clipping is taking place, but it does raise the question as to what the maximum count is set to. I can find nothing that discusses this issue.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. It came installed on my HP Desktop. I am can not get the warp text tool to work. It has worked in the past. Once I click warp text, the little window does not pop up, and if I try to do anything else after I click warp text, it wont let me. Just sounds the ding, alert, can still slightly navigate the program but can not use any other tools after clicking warp text. I just have to open task manager and close the program. not sure if I'm doing something wrong or maybe I just need to uninstall and re install. Having trouble finding out how to uninstall and reinstall because the program came pre installed on my desktop.

It actually sounds like the warp text window is opening off screen.
Resetting the photoshop elements 10 preferences should fix it.

Set desktop wallpaper based on screen resolution for both WinXP and Win7

I'm hoping someone can answer this for me. I would like to be able to set the desktop wallpaper based on the current screen resolution when a user logs in. I've made several .BMP files for varying resolutions with our corporation logo. But, say
if a wallpaper for a resolution of 1024x768 on a 4:3 monitor is set, then that monitor is replaced with a 16:10 monitor with a resolution of 1280x800 or 1600x900, the wallpaper looks stretched out and ugly. The only way to change it is manually on
each computer, but most end users (students) would not have permissions to do so.
I thought this question would have been asked before, but after many, many searches, I've only come across one reference that copies the background from a network share to a location on the local computer, which I found
here. In my case, the file will already be on the local computer, but I am not sure how to force the system to change the wallpaper based on the current screen resolution. I'm sure it is possible and maybe I am overlooking something very simple. I
was also thinking that this would either happen only once on first login or maybe based on user authentication (which group the user belongs to) so that teachers are still able to change their wallpaper, but students would not be able to.
If it helps, I will be deploying the image using MDT 2010 Update 1. The same base image will be used on multiple machine types (HP desktop sand laptops and Lenovo desktops) which could have one of 6-7 different monitor types connected. I'd also like
this to happen on the local machine instead of GPO or logon script as there is already a lot happening there.
I would need to be able to do this for both Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 Ent x64. The XP machines will mostly have 4:3 monitors, but there are exceptions.
Maybe what I am asking isn't entirely possible or possible at all. I, unfortunately, am in the extremely early stages of learning Microsoft Scripting (VBScript and PowerShell) to use with MDT 2010, so I know next to nothing when it comes to these scripting
processes, but am willing to try and learn.
Any help anyone can suggest, I would be extremely grateful.

I almost abandoned this because I thought it was going to interfere with using BGInfo. But, as it turns out, I was able to incorporate the running of BGInfo into a script that I
created. And, once I saw what 16:10 Aspect Ratio background looked like on a 16:9 Aspect Ratio screen, I was not satisfied.
I happened to use the first script that MkShffr posted from geekshangout.com, but then I added more items to it. I also created three high-res wallpaper backgrounds as suggested
by pagerwho.
My script is based on the Aspect Ratio of the current resolution. Since most, if not all, systems will get the resolution set during deployment, this was easy to calculate.
And by forcing the output of the Aspect Ratio to two decimal places, I just used a Case statement to select which aspect ratio to choose from and apply the wallpaper assigned to it. I thought about using If Then statements, but I think the Case statement
is much cleaner.
And, because BGInfo wants to change the Picture Position to "Tile" instead of "Fit" that I manually set it to in my image, I added two reg key change lines per Case. BGInfo still
changes the Picture Position to "Tile", but for whatever reason, this works. I tested this by using a laptop with a 16:9 Aspect Ratio screen. In my image, I manually set a 16:10 wallpaper because that will be the primary Aspect Ratio used in our corporation,
however we are getting more 16:9 Aspect Ratio laptops and from what HP is saying, everything will be standardizing on this Aspect Ratio.
I made sure the Screen profile that I saved in my image was loaded which includes the 16:10 wallpaper. I then placed this script in the “C:\ProgramData\Wallpaper_Change”
directory that I created in the image. I then added a registry value in HKLM\System\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and created a String Value. I did this so that it would run at log in, but I didn't want it to show in the Startup Folder in the All Programs
Menu. It takes less than a second to run, but it seems to work well. I tested it several time to see if there were any anomalies, but it seemed to work great each time. I have yet to test it with a computer that is on the domain with a regular user account,
which I will be doing in the next day or two.
In the mean time, if someone want to try it out and see if it works from thier use, here is the code. I did comment out the wscript.echos, but left them in to use for troubleshooting
in the future.

Install Photoshop Elements on Desktop and Laptop?

I was under the impresion that you could install Adobe Photoshop Elements on one desktop and one laptop computer within the same household using one license. After installing on my desktop, I installed it on my laptop but after a while my laptop installation said it expired and Photoshop Elemnts no longer opens. What's the real issue here?

Laptop running WinXP SP3 with Photoshop Elements 6.
This morning when I went to use it the program started but the mesage "trial period expired, you must uninstall software" came up. Since then the program will not start at all.
I initially installed the program on my desktop compter where I still use it.

Elements 3, XP and Wallpaper

Help please. I have done a search but couldn't find anything. We have been happily running Elements 3 under XP with 2 users and each have our own catalogues and set our own wallpaper from Elements.
Suddenly without doing anything (we think), now if one of us changes the wallpaper for a different photo, it appears in the other user as well. Niggly, but very frustrating. I have searched through Elements but can't see how it, or XP knows which wallpaper to use.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks.

Linda,
I normally set my wallpaper using the Windows XP display properties dialog.
But, I did some experimenting with the Elements 3 "set as desktop wallpaper"
feature using different Windows sign-on accounts and this is what I found.
The "set as desktop wallpaper" feature appears to be designed for use with a
single user. It saves your new wallpaper image in the "C:\Windows\"
directory using a file name of "wallpaper.bmp". It then changes your
Windows desktop settings to use that file as your desktop wallpaper. PSE 3
does exactly the same thing no matter which user is signed on.
There is only one "wallpaper.bmp" file. And, since you are now both set to
use that as your wallpaper, whenever either of you uses the "set as desktop
wallpaper" feature that file will be replaced and you will both see the new
wallpaper.
The only way out of this is to use the Windows XP display properties dialog
to select a different wallpaper file.
You can get to the display properties dialog from the XP control panel or by
right clicking on the desktop and selecting properties from the popup menu.
Then select the "desktop" tab. The ".bmp" files in the "C:\Windows\"
directory will show up in the background pane on the left. You can select
any of these directly. But, you aren't restricted to those. If you click
on the "browse" button on the right, you can navigate to any folder and
select an image. You might need to change the file type in the browse
dialog to "all picture files". Once selected, you can set the position to
"center", "stretch", or "tile".
I created a directory called wallpaper under "My Pictures" and place all my
wallpaper images there for convenience. I use resize and/or crop to set the
image to the pixel dimensions that will fit on my screen the way I want and
do a "save as" to my wallpaper folder as a jpg image. I don't replace the
original image.
If you don't want to go to that much trouble and are happy with what
Elements gives you, you can rename the "wallpaper.bmp" file to something
else and then select the newly renamed file in the windows properties
dialog. If you choose that route, you both will need to do this.

Setting the desktop background image via Powershell

UPDATE:
I found the solution that addressed my problem, which I posted in a post below. Keeping the original post for Internet historical reasons as I the hope this helps someone else later on in their search for a solution.
===============
I have Bing'ed and I have Google'd and I haven't found a solid answer to setting the desktop wallpaper programmically. I am trying to do this via PowerShell, but I would be happy for any other language flavor or application to work.
Below is the code I have tried to set the desktop background image. This has been scrounged from a few sources across the web. This solution works 25% of the time and I haven't figured out what the cause for success or failure of the execution. Or maybe
it's neither, but waiting for Explorer to refresh. The only way to see the change 100% is to log out and log back in.
I am running Windows 8.1 btw.
Thank you for looking.

Great news! I found the solution and all props and credit goes to
jsd1982 of the XKCD comic
forum from a post he made in 2007 and some deep search kung-fu Googling on my part. Here is the
direct link to the post.
This solution has worked for me 100% of the time on Windows 8. The only gotcha I found (minor detail) was when setting this process to run as a scheduled task, I had to run it as elevated privileges for the code to compile in memory. Running this function
from PowerShell at the command prompt was fine.

Does Photoshop Elements 11 organize pix by categories like the old Album Starter Edition 3.0?

I'm aware that Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 is not supported by Adobe anymore. I have thousands of photos organized on it using its "Category" function. Does Photoshop Elements 11 have a similar function? (I'm in the midst of also switching to a new computer and my old one can't load the info on the PS 11 program available on this site.) I'm extremely concerned I not lose the ability to retrieve my pix by the categories I've already assigned them, when I switch to PS 11 on my new computer.

Desktop wallpaper resets on reboot

Hi All i have an Intel I7 Mac Mini running the latest version of Mavericks.
The problem is that if i set a desktop wallpaper of my choosing the picture defaults to the Mavericks Wave Image on reboot.
If i just put the mac to sleep then everything is fine when it awakes my chosen wallpaper is still there.
But if i reboot my wallpaper selection is replaced by the Mavericks Wave image.
Any ideas

Try to delete com.apple.desktop.plist from Preferences folder into your user library.
While you have the Finder's "GO" menu open, press "Option" : a Library item will appear in the list – That's the one that has the .plist in its Preferences folder. Delete the file
Then close your current session, and restart it. You'll always have the "wave" wallpaper.
Change the wallpaper, then shut down your computer and restart it.
Empty the trash in secure mode to delete the old .plist file
It has worked for me

Nautilus: no desktop wallpaper

hello!
i don't find a solution to this weird and annoying problem.
when i try to set a desktop wallpaper i only see the background color, no wallpaper is shown.
the really funny thing is: when i drag a picture to the desktop with middle mouse button and select "set as background" the wallpaper fades in and directly out again.
i tried to create a new user account, same problem. reinstalling nautilus or searching the gconf settings didn't help.
this problem appeared after i switched back from xfce to gnome... i googled and searched this forum , but didn't find a solution. don't know how i can find out what's the problem. maybe some missing library or broken package? does nautilus set the wallpaper with an external tool? can i start nautilus somehow in verbose mode?
(nautilus 2.30.1)
thanks,
joschi

Hi,
Before going further, as suggested by Martin in the following thread, I need to further confirm whether users can open the wallpaper file. Besides, we need
to check whether the "Wallpaper" value exists in this registry path
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop.
