Photoshop Elements 11 Making a custom Photo Collage..

after i insert Photos onto background and make smaller, i am losing my picture quality so when I go to print the entire collage in 8 X 10 my pictures are blurry and pixelated...What am i doing wrong?????

I am not that experienced at Photoshop so not sure how to make the resolution the same for both the photos and the background??
I may have figured it out though...I have gone into Image-Resize Image-then changed the Pixel # to a higher # and the quality seems to be much better.
Thank-you for your help

I have now downloaded all the pictures in my camera directly into PSE Organiser. The pictures are all in folders listed by date the pictures were taken. Are they now safely housed in the PSE program?
PSE does not contain your photos. The photos are on your hard disk(s) somewhere, wherever they were put when they were moved from the camera to the hard disk (might be the default location chosen by PSE).
Can I delete the old Canon programs, which are still sitting on my Mac?
Yes
And if I want to back up on an external hard-drive, how do I do that? Just drag the whole lot across?
Your interest in making backups is to be commended.
There are many ways to make backups, including the way you just suggested. You can also create a backup using PSE (which I recommend) since it includes the photos and the very important catalog file. In PSE, File->Backup Catalog, and set the destination of the backup to your external HD. Remember to do this regularly.
Sometimes when I've used 'Smart Fix" or other tools in the Photo Fix toolbox, I'm not happy with the result. But how can I 'undo' a fix and revert to how it was before?
PSE should create a version set when you do any editing, including the Smart Fix. Thus, you just need to expand the version set (right-click on the photo) to see both the original and the Smart Fix. Then you can delete the Smart Fix version.
-- I want to create an album "Europe 2012", and within it categories for UK, France, Italy etc. But although I hit 'create album category' when Europe 2012 is highlighted, the category just attaches to the last listed album - something completely unrelated. How do I ensure categories are within the correct albums?
I'm going to strongly recommend you don't do this via albums (unless your intent is to share the contents of the albums online somehow, in which case use Albums). I recommend you use tags instead of albums for this purpose. You can create a tag called Europe under Places, and another tag under Europe called France. I would also recommend you not bother including year or other calendar information in the tag (or album) names. You want "Europe" as your tag, not "Europe 2012". Why? Because you can always segregate by year (or other calendar time period) using the PSE Timeline; there's no need to do extra work to segregate the tags by year (or other calendar time period).

Does iPhoto & photoshop elements share the same photo library

Does iPhoto & photoshop elements share the same photo library

By memory I assume you mean disk space. The best way to do that is to move your libraries to external HD's which are inexpensive. I keep my music, photo and movie libraries on EHD's which keeps my internal HD relatively free. My internal HD is 320GB however it still has 219GB free because I manage the internal HD for only the OS and critical files that are accessed daily. Here are two links that show how how easy it is to do:
iPhoto: How to move the Library to a EHD
iTunes: How to move the library to a EHD
If you get an EHD with a fast connection you probably won't see any difference in speed accessing files. If your machine has a FW800 port then use it with a FW800 EHD. Three drives I'd recommend for their quality and features are the:
OWC Mercury Elite Pro series
LaCie d2 Quadra series
G-Tech G-DRIVE series

If your program is Photoshop Elements, you have posted in the wrong forum. Somehow your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
If this is the case, please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator to see your thread here and move it from here to there.

Open Raw image in Photoshop Elements 6 from I Photo 09 plug in procedure

I am currently importing my photos into IPhoto 09 and editing in Elements 6. I now want to start using raw format but need the procedure for the plug in. I believe I have to manually copy the plug in in the root library but can't find the instructions. Can someone help?

I found the instructions I was looking for on the internet, see below. I downloaded the Raw Plug In for my Camera 4.4.1 followed the instructions below and now when I pick edit in IPhoto09 it opens the Elements Raw Converter. You are correct though, when I finish with converter and open elements for additional editing and save as JPEG it doesn't seem to go into IPhoto like the JPEG files I edit in Elements do.
You can download the latest versions of ACR from the Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=macintos h) downloads site.
We have an article on ACR in the next issue of the Photoshop Elements Techniques newsletter, but here's the simple instructions for installing an ACR update on the Mac:
If Elements is running, close it.
Open your mac’s hard drive by double-clicking on its icon.
If you are running Elements 6, open the folder Library/Application support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3/File Formats.
In the File Formats folder, find the file called Camera Raw.8bi and move it to a folder on your desktop (or another, different location you will be able to find easily). This will serve as a backup in case there’s a problem with the installation. I usually make a folder on my desktop and name it old ACR.
Open the unzipped folder you downloaded and copy the new Camera Raw.8bi file into the File Formats folder that contained the old version (Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3/File Formats). After it is copied, you can close that folder.
Launch Photoshop Elements again, and you should be ready to go.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12: Create Web Photo Gallery

Photoshop elements 13 choix impression photo

J'ai remplacé mon vieil iMac par un iMac dernière version depuis 3 semaines avec Mac OSX Yosemite et j'ai du acheter photoshop elements 13
Lorsque j'ouvre plusieurs photos en même temps et que je crée un assemblage de ces photos sur un nouveau document il m'est impossible de l'imprimer.
La fenêtre d'impression me présente systématiquement une seule des autres photo ouvertes, toujours la même, mais pas le document que je viens de créer.
Il faut que je ferme toutes les autres photos avant de pouvoir imprimer mon nouveau document et c'est très pénalisant pour travailler

Bon j'ai compris, pour imprimer la photo voulue il ne suffit pas de sélectionner la photo dans l'espace de travail
En fait il faut simplement sélectionner la photo à imprimer dans le panier des photos ouvertes.

Photoshop Elements 7 difficulty with photo layers

I'm beyond frustrated and hoping that I can explain this clearly. I just purchased/upgraded Photoshop Elements 7. I am using an HP. Everytime that I drag a photo onto a blank canvas, I am unable to resize the photo on the layer without distorting it. I did not have this problem the first time I used the program but have since. I have reset all of the tools without success. I also previously had been able to replace the photo on my projects by dragging a new photo over top of the one that I want to replace, but now I cannot do this either. Any suggestions?

Hi out there I need some help (BIG TIME)I am new to all this can someone please tell me what Photoshop program can I use to cut the head off of one Photo an put it on another Photo with out spending an arm or a leg for the program I have tried calling Adobe Photoshop
but everyone I talked to just told me to hold for the next guy that went on for over a hour then I gave up I went to all the computer stores buy me and everyone said they didn't know or I had to buy Adobe Photoshop CS3 price $1,600.00 dollars I don't mine spending 1 or 2 hundred dollars for a program but that's it so if anyone out there can tell me how to do this an what program to use you can e-mail me at [email protected] thanks James

Can't set Photoshop Elements 11 as default photo editor

When I right click on an image in Windows Explorer or Adobe Bridge, then click on "open with", in the list of image viewers and programs, Photoshop Elements is not listed. When I browse to the PE11 .exe file to select it, nothing happens. How can I set PE11 to be the default photo editing program?

Plantage organiseur photoshop elements 10 fonction messages photos

Bonjour le forum. Je suis nouveau membre. Voici mon problème:
J'utilise Photoshop Elements 10 sur PC Windows Vista. Quand je veux partager des photos par la fonction Message Photo, l'Organiseur cesse de fonctionner (message puis fermeture). Ceci se produit après la saisie d'un sous-domaine (ex voyage) dans la fenêtre "Assistant papeterie et disposition", donc après la sélection des photos et le choix du destinataire. Ceci se produit aussi bien si je choisis l'email adobe service ou windows mail.
A noter que je peux envoyer des photos avec la fonction pièces jointes sans problème avec windows vista.
A noter également que je peux envoyer des messages photos sans problème avec window xp.
Merci à tout contributeur à la solution de ce problème

Elements 9 problems with photo collage

I have 4 days to print a photo collage series in PE9! I have watched the video, read how tos & searched forum. Please send help!
I am trying to make a photo collage, 5 on a 8 1/2x11 using the landscape, with white background & simple text. Click the collage button, get a pile on 1 page, go to layout & pick landscape with 5, get portatit with 5. Can't get a plain white background neither. How do I do this? If I try to hard the program crashes. It's only 30 pictures! I did not have this problem in PE8. I am lost & running out of time. What do I do???? CJ

Suggest that you make your own collage, esp. since time is running out. Do the math and determine the size that each of the 5 pictures should be, leave enough room to add text.
Crop each picture to the appropriate size.
Go to File>new>blank file, enter height and width of your document, background white, resolution 300px/in. The resolution of the pictures should be the same.. However, resolution 240-300px/in is probably ok for printing
Open the 5 picture files. Access pict. #1, go to Edit>copy, open the blank file created in step #3, then go to Edit>paste
Repeat for the other pictures. Each will on on its own layer. Use the move tool to position, and resize with the corner handles if necessary.
Using the type tool add text.
TIP: Open the grid to help you to position the pictures. The grid can be configured via Edit>Preferences>Guides and grid. You may want to check "snap to grid" under View>snap to grid

Told by adobe that I should purchase photoshop elements 13 to extract photo from video but it will not even open a video file -- what am I missing?

I am supposed to be able to extract a frame from PSE 13 but it will not let me do so. Specifically, Select File > Import > Frame From Video is supposed to allow this but when I click Import, there is no Frame from video option.
Here are the instructions from the Adobe website:
You can play a video from within Photoshop Elements and grab frames to edit and save as images.
Select File > Import > Frame From Video.
Browse and select the video.
Click Play.The video starts playing in the Frame From Video dialog box. You can use the playback controls to display the frames your want to grab. If you find the audio distracting, select Mute.
Click Grab Frame.Photoshop Elements places the grabbed frames as images in new files., ready for editing.
Click Done.

This is strange because I found the following on the adobe PSE 13 website (but the Select File/Import does not include Frame From Video:
You can play a video from within Photoshop Elements and grab frames to edit and save as images.
Select File > Import > Frame From Video.
Browse and select the video.
Click Play.The video starts playing in the Frame From Video dialog box. You can use the playback controls to display the frames your want to grab. If you find the audio distracting, select Mute.
Click Grab Frame.Photoshop Elements places the grabbed frames as images in new files., ready for editing.
