Photoshop Elements 11 freezing and creating 1000s of tmp files when saving images

Photoshop Elements 11 freezes up and then continues to create 1000s and 1000s AND 1000s of tmp files in the same location as I was trying to save the jpg. Any ideas on what is going on?

GO to Edit->Preferences and you will see Reset Preferences on next launch
Click this button to ensure that all product preferences are reset to default settings when Elements Editor is restarted next. Available at Preferences > General.
Also try enhancing the performance with the tips - http://blogs.adobe.com/pselements/tips-to-enhance-photoshop-elements-p erformance/
In case you are opening and saving to any network location try copying it on your machine and try
Hope it helps.

  • Photoshop elements 10 freezes and won't allow me to sign in.

    I've installed photoshop elements 10. Serial # is accepted. I try to open the application on my mac and it freezes. No sign in and I have to force quit the application. Does anyone have any suggestions because Chat support is apparently only for the new versions.

    When PSE 10 came out, there was a free account at photoshop.com, but adobe has since shut that down and replaced it with revel. PSE 10 doesn't know anything about that, though, so it will keep looking for the old server if you try to sign in. Best thing is just not to use the welcome screen at all. Go into applications and make dock icons for the editor and/or organizer from there and start them directly.
    The editor is not the file you think it is. It's hidden inside the Support Files folder in the PSE 10 folder. You want this file:

  • Photoshop Elements 5 freezes and restarts when using Vista

    I have a minor problem with Photoshop Elements  5. When I first start the program and click on 'File' the system freezes. If I wait about 30 or 40 seconds it all recovers and then when working again all is fine. It's really just very annoying when you first start the program and if someone else has had this problem and knows a fix, I would be very grateful.
    Already tried: -
    Uninstalling and re-installing
    Repairing the installation
    De-selecting Adobe Active File Monitor V5
    None of these worked. The problem seems to be related to running Vista, everything worked fine on my old XP machine.
    I am now using an Acer Aspire 5536 with Windows Vista installed as the operating system.

    I haven't downloaded the patch, so I will give it a try and let you know if it worked. Many Thanks
    Just to update you, I downloaded the patch and opened and closed Photoshop 3 or 4 times with no problem. So fingers crossed it looks like this did the trick. many thanks for your prompt reply.
    The patch is available here for anyone else that needs it http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=3569&fileID=3369

  • Photoshop elements 9 freezes and crashes on Windows 7

    I've just got Elements 9 - my first, Photoshop product, and I'm still very much finding my way around BUT... every time I've used it at some point it 'fails to respond' and I get the windows blue circle.  This usually rights itself after 30secs or so, but even more annoying is that on at least 3 occasions Elements just crashes plain and simple and the work I was doing is lost.
    I've looked up 'auto save' but under 'Edit - Preferences' I don't seem to have an auto save option.
    I've plenty of memory and processor power.  Any help?

    What does  that mean in real numbers and models?
    Also, what brand/model  graphics card (ATI or nVidia or ???) and what
    device driver version? 
    What you are describing is "often" a matter of needing a driver  update...
    which is NOT via Windows update... instead you go directly to the  hardware
    vendor site with your brand/model and check for  updates

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the  PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and  it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

    Hi,
    Can you please share the logs?
    You can use the Adobe  Log Collector tool (Log Collector Tool) and share the corresponding zip file @ [email protected]

  • Problems with Photoshop Elements 11 freezing up

    I recently upgraded from Elements 9 to Elements 11. Now when I work in the Organizer or Editor the program frequently freezes up and then displays the message "program not responding". If I wait long enough - several minutes - it begins to run again. I never had this problem with Elements 9

    My primary disk when i open elements 11 for all the time working, mouse cursor lagging and swaping. All my operation on Photoshop Elements is not instantly.
    I install yesterday fresh Windows 7 with all updates of corse. Problem persist.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 freezes when selecting Photomerge

    Photoshop Elements 11 freezes after selecting images in the tray and then selecting Photomerge/Group Shot or Photomerge/Scene Cleaner.  The program does not respond and then exits after Windows checks for a solution.  I tried this with 2 images of size 3000x2000.  The system is Win7, Intel i5, 8GB RAM, 10GB free SSD and >500GB HDD (set in Edit/Preferences).
    Since the app freezes immediately I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this problem. 
    Any help would be appreciated.

      Are you able to drag a source image into the editing window or select any of the tools e.g. pencil or eraser. If not use the menu in Expert mode and go to:
    Edit >> Preferences >> General
    Click the button “Reset Preferences on next launch”
    Then close the application and re-start.
    Let us know if that makes any difference.

  • How do I save my setup for Photoshop Elements 11 that I created for category - sub-category - Keyword Tags

    how do I save my setup for Photoshop Elements 11 that I created for category - sub-category - Keyword Tags  I would like to use the setup for other Photoshop Elements

    First are you going to use the same keyword/categories hierarchy in the same Elements version (or newer)? If so, using the backup/restore process will also restore your hierarchy.
    If you want to create the same hierarchy in an older Elements version, it's possible to save that hierarchy in a special text file and to restore it in the new catalog in the destination computer. It's also possible to restore it in another catalog in the same computer.
    Look at the title bar of the keywords panel. Next to the '+' sign on the right, you see a small icon which opens a menu offering the option to save or to restore the text file.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 prints and Previews are blank

    Recently installed Elements (not the trial, the paid version) on a new MacBook Pro, and it not only won't print, the Print Preview is blank. Wondering if it was the document, so I created a new document with Elements, painted a few strokes, and tried printing again. Same result. The Print Preview is blank. The thumbnail of the image DOES show up in the Print dialog box. I re-installed the software. I deleted and re-installed the printer. I restarted the computer. All other apps are able to print, and Preview app is able to print the same documents that Elements will not print. I've been doing IT for years, and I've never seen anything like this. Any suggestions?

    I may have just found a solution.  In the print dialog box, under more options, colour management...if i leave the Colour Handling to Photoshop and change Printer Profile to Apple RGB or to my Printer colour profile then I could print. However, colour is off although it looked nice in print preview.  So, instead I downloaded ICC Colour Profile for Mac from adobe and change back the Printer Profile to Adobe RGB(1998) which is same as above Image Space profile.
    And I am quite satisfied with the print output.

    Subject: Re: Photoshop Elements 9 prints and Previews are blank
    Yes, sorry for the confusion. Normally i go to the web link to post message but it didn't work this time, so i replied directly from email and that seem to be ok.
    Anyway, my printer is Canon MG5240. After reading your thread, I installed updated driver from Apple (printer driver for Mac) and when still cannot print, I called a canon rep here and asked about it and he said to go into canon website only. So I loaded driver from Canon website which also didn't seem to change anything. When I was using Elements 9 trial version i did not have problem printing from the software.

  • Photoshop elements 12 freezes my computor

    why does photoshop elements 12 freeze up when I'm in the editor.  I'm using a surface pro tablet and I can't get out of the program.   this happens frequently but not always   thanks

    As John points out, you have posted in the wrong forum if your program is Photoshop Elements 12 (photo editor).
    You can repost the thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. See John's link to it. Or you could wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there. I suspect that the quicker route is for you to repost the thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum with lots of details.
    What you have posted so far is not really enough to get to the core of the issue in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum..

  • PSE7 "Photoshop Elements could not finish creating your E-Mail message."

    Since I upgraded to PSE7 from PSE6 I am no longer able to send Photo Mail using Outlook 2007. I get the message "Photoshop Elements could not finish creating your E-Mail message." Outlook is and has always been my default email client. I do not want to use Adobe's email service.

  • Useless Map in Photoshop Elements 7, 8, and 9

    I use Windows 7, and have 4 GB RAM, a 2 GHz dual-core processor, and lots of hard drive space.  In Photoshop Elements 7, 8, and 9 the mapping function is completely useless.  Sometimes the pins on the map just flash at me.  When I try to magnify a certain section, the map image just refreshes.  I am terribly frustrustred by the fact that Adobe advertises that the map function can help organize my photos when it doesn't work at all.  I can pin tags to a location by searching for that location, and I can see a longitude and latitude on the tags.  But when I use "show on map" nothing happens.
    Any solutions out there?

    I'd be happy to hear an answer to this. I've been use PSE 7 and was going to upgrade to 9 but the show on map functionality is even more broken in 9. My hardware setup and the behavior I see is the same as the original poster. I'm also surprised to see that maps from 2006 are still being used.  Unrelated to this, in PSE9, if you show images on the category tags there is entirely too much whitespace and the text is cropped well short of the ride side of the window and there is tons of whitespace around the text.  Given these issues, I guess I'll stick with 7 or look for something else.

  • Photoshop Elements 6.0 and Camera Raw Version Question

    I have been using Photoshop Elements 6.0 and it's does what I need to do.
    Revcently we bought two new cameras and the Camera Raw version 5.6 that we have installed does not support these new cameras.
    The Camera Raw list says that I need Camera Raw 6.2 for the one and 6.3 for the other (so 6.3).  But as far as I can understand, PE 6.0 will only support up to Camera Raw 5.6.
    And to support 6.3, I'd need a minimum of PE 8.0.
    Am I correct?
    Thanks
