Problem with music volume in Photoshop Elements 12 slide show

I'm creating a slide show in Photoshop Elements 12 and want to include several songs. I'm on Windows 7. I've worked with the songs in another program, DJ Audio Editor, to make them fade at the end of each clip. Each is saved as an MP3. However, when I bring them into the slide show, there's no reduction in volume at the ends of the clips. The volume stays full and then abruptly cuts off at the end of the clip - exactly what I'm trying to avoid. Does anyone know why Elements 12 isn't recognizing the fade at the ends of the music clips I've created?

Just as a guess... they are not compatible... you need plugins that are compatible with the program you are using, not something written for a different program

Adding Music to slide show in Photoshop Elements 8

I am trying to add music to a slide show in Photoshop Elements 8. When I go to add the music I get the following message:
The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compresser/decompresser (codec) installed.
I've tried downloading a copy of things from the internet and either they were the wrong things or I didn't know how to use them, so I uninstalled them.
Can someone point me in the right direction of what I need to download and what I do once I download the software?
Thanks so much!

I'm using MP3 and getting the same error. Yes, the file does play in Windows Media player and in iTunes. The song I'm trying to use was purchased from Amazon.
Any advice on how to add this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Help! I making this slide show for my Grandpa's 96th birthday!!

Codecs for Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 slideshow music downloads

I cannot download purchased MP3 files from Amazon to my slideshows in Photoshop Elements 10. It says the computer does not have the proper codec to download the file. How do I resolve this?

An old Adobe kb suggests this might be because either
- the program can't read the album artwork embedded in your MP3
- or the mp3 is copy protected.

I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
“Welcome to Aperture 3.2
Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
Current Library Location:
Jadzia (home) -----Pictures------Aperture Library
QUIT UPGRADE”
I have heard horror stories about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
So here is my dilemma. I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?

Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop. Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file. For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts 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..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
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:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years.

Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years. Does Elements need to have access to ‘My Pictures’ on Windows as when I remove Photos from ‘My Pictures’, Elements later, when backing up, gives a message that it is unable to ‘reconnect’ to the same picture on elements. On other occasions when removing a photo from Elements catalogue I also get a similar message when backing up saying ‘unable to reconnect’. 1. Is there a relationship between Elements and My Pictures and is Elements dependant on the Windows ‘My Pictures’? 2. Why does some photos in Elements in some cases cause them to multiply e.g. double; triple; quadruple; and on occasions even more? Is there something I need to do to stop this or an easy way I can remove the multiples without spending hours doing it manually one by one? Am I doing something wrong? My O/S is Windows XP SP2 and windows Vista on my Laptop. I have been using Elements 5 and have just purchased Photoshop Elements 8.0. (Upgrade) and about to install it. Be grateful for any advice as I do enjoy using the program if only I can resolve this issue. I am not a PC wiz and mainly use Elements to catalogue photos from which I compile collections and from them slide shows with music. Any advice appreciated Sonny.t PS Have tried to post this previously but without success so hoping to see message appear and a +response

The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.

Can't Download Photos to Adobe Photoshop Elements after iPhone Upgrade

Howdy, I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 with my iPhone ever since I bought my iPhone 3G when they came out and have never had any trouble. Whenever I synced my phone and there were new photos on it, Photoshop Elements would start it's photo downloader program and let me download the pics from my phone and put them in the organizer. Then it would let me delete them.
But this weekend I took a bunch of photos and now Photoshop Elements startes up during the sync as usual, but before it lets me download any pictures I get a message from Photoshop Elements saying "Downloader needs to close" (or something like that) and I never get the chance to download the pictures. The only way I have to get the pictures off my phone right now is to mail them as attachments.
A few days ago I upgraded to the 2.2 iPhone software and I was wondering if this might be the source of the problem. Has anyone else heard of any problems like this?

I'm having the same problem with Elements 6.0. The downloader starts up and I can see the first few pictures in the downloader before the error message comes up and the downloader must shut down. The only way to get pictures off the phone is through Win Explorer. But, when you try to remove the pics off the phone (i.e. move or delete) the phone reboots. The only way to remove the pics is one at a time on the phone itself.
It is extremely frustrating that Apple has created a decent way to sync music and video, but no iTunes way to handle pictures. Honestly I amazed that Apple has worked so hard to be the standard for music, etc. that they just leave it to the consumer to figure out the picture stuff. Come on Apple.

How do I get imovie to use Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor?

How do I get imovie to use Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor? I am making a movie slide show with music from my Caribbean vacation photos and adding text captions to photos in PS Elements 12. I can also add some effects to photos like edge blur although I like iphotos effects better but iphoto doesn't seem to do text. The finished PS Elements photo doesn't seem to want to be shared by iphoto which is what imovie uses...
I am still learning to use PS Elements 12 for Mac (had PSE 7 for WinVista but wasn't proficient) and Mac and it's programs are new to me. I switch between my old Dell which is still amped for graphics and the new Mac mini. I started to use Movie Maker to do my vacation project but read that imovie was better but so far it doesn't seem to have as broad of file useage when it comes to imovie and photo files.
Hmmmmm??? What to do?

You simply need to create your stills with Photoshop Elements, save them in a suitable format (.jpg, .png, .tiff are all acceptable) then drag and drop them into your iMovie timeline. You don't have to use iPhoto.

How can I repair organizer in adobe photoshop elements 6.0?

I ran the optimizer in Norton and after that I couldn't get to the organizer in adobe photoshop elements 6.. When I try to reinstall the program it says to "insert disc 1". (I am sure you know because lots of people with adobe have this same problem) There is only on CD installation disc named Adobe Photoshop Elements 6. Like a dope I went to the welcome page and clicked it to open with the organizer (which is broken). So now it sure won't open. Before I got the message that it had to close and was so sorry!!
Now I would like to know if I can uninstall 6 and if I do will it come back exactly as it left or will it be repaired and would my slideshow still be there? I've only spent a year making it and it was just about ready to make a DVD.
Would appreciate any help.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
I just uninstalled and re-installed as you suggested. As far as I can tell everything is there. I got so happy with the uninstall & re-install that I did the same for the Adobe Premiere Elements. As I said I have been working on family pictures slideshow (family pics that I only have one set of and want to give to 4 children) for almost a year. I have put classical music to it (because that is what I like). I have it ready to send to Premiere Elements to make a DVD.
You have saved me many hours of redoing. Thanks again.

Hi Christoph and WarriorAnt,
Thank you both for the replies.
I don't know anything about GarageBand because I've never used it. I've never used any music software before, (other than iTunes, Ha!)
I don't have GarageBand on my Mac because it wasn't stock on the old Powerbook G4, so I would have to buy it. I'm happy to do that if I can figure out that it does what I want ... but I'm overwhelmed by the info at Apple's site. Too much for a beginner like me. Even the wikipedia.com entry for GB uses too many terms I don't know, so I'm easily lost.
I just want to be able to set up drum loops and play along with them. The main thing is that I'm able to use third party loops. There are so many really amazing loop products out there ... jungle drums, acoustic jazz drums, lounge, etc. I don't want to get caught up in anything proprietary (like Band-In-A-Box) because the selection is limited. I'm sure GarageBands loops are great, but I want access to all these other third party loops as well ... loops that were not specifically made for GarageBand.
Will GarageBand let me drop in any and all drum loops from these other companies?
And does GarageBand work like a basic sequencer, where I can program up an intro, X number of measures of a loop, then a turnaround, then a variation loop, then an ending, etc?
I know the high-end stuff like Native Instruments Kontakt does this, but unfortunately it also does a kazillion other professional-level things I will never need and don't want to pay for (and which make the software more complex and daunting).
Thank you again, both of you, for responding and helping me with this project.
Just a little more advice on those two questions would really go a long way.

Unwanted folders in Photoshop Elements Organiser

I've recently started using Photoshop Elements 13 on a new Windows 8.1 Laptop.
I've started bringing some folders into the Organizer and have had some unwanted ones turn up...
The unwanted folders have names like festive, confetti and album_16x9_c71ff90be..... and they all appear to have a single music file in them and be located in the slideshow > themes > assets subfolder of Adobe. Given this folder isn't within the Pictures folder I've set Adobe to look at I don't how the folders have ended up in my Organizer.
So, I'm seeking assistance to:
- delete the unwanted folders and files from my organizer which I haven't figured out how to do; and
- work out how they ended up there so I can make sure it doesn't happen again.
Thanks in advance for any help!

- delete the unwanted folders and files from my organizer which I haven't figured out how to do;
Have you tried going to Watch Folders options and then delete from there? See this picture:
To get to this screen, Launch the Organizer and then Go to:

Good luck.

HP Deskjet 9650 with Photoshop Elements 7 and Windows 7 not printing

I have a new Windows 7 computer and installed Photoshop Elements 7.0 on it, which works fine, except I cannot print. I did the installation instructions to use the alternate driver 9800 and can print 8 1/2 X 11 Word documents, but I cannot print a 12X12 scrapbook page to save my soul. The resume print button keeps blinking and it spits it out blank. Any help?
I hope I do not have to get a new large format printer.

I just accomplished this without any real problems and am now running with my same license on the newly rebuilt PC. Here is what I did ...
Originally my PSE7 configuration was set up last year on new Intel I7-based PC running Vista 64 bit version with a retail copy of the PSE7 software, i.e. not the upgrade version. Once that was setup I imported my catalog from the older Adobe Photoshop Album on my previous system. That put me at the place you are now, i.e. PSE7 on Windows Vista.
For this upgrade I puchased the upgrade version of Windows 7 and an additional second disk drive. I installed Windows 7 onto the clean drive, giving me a dual-boot system for either OS. While booted on the Vista drive, I used the easy-transfer method to write a backup of my Vista files to an external disk drive. I then rebooted into the Windows 7 drive and used the Easy-transfer tool to reload the files from the external drive. (note; this easy-transfer included >200GB of music/video/image files so it ran for several hours for each phase of the transfer)
Once I verified the directory structure on the new Windows 7 setup, only then did I do the installation of PSE7. That wnet flawlessly and relicensed without any problems. Next I was able to open up my catalog in organizer and all of the images were intact. Since then I have had no issues with the configuration.
So bottom line is you should be fine doing the upgrade regardless of whether you do the upgrade like I did to a new drive or an in-place upgrade overlaying your vista environment. For the in-place upgrade I would strongly recommend you still do a backup of all of your images and their associated catalog(s) to an external drive. Win7 is a vast improvement over Vista so I'm sure you won't regret the upgrade but I don't trust any vendor's software upgrade procedure, especially Microsoft so please do the backup first.

Integration with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4

I would like to migrate to Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 for Mac and would like to know how it will integrate with iPhoto.
My photos are stored in iPhoto, could I edit them using PE4?
How should I generate slideshows? Do I use PE4 or iPhoto?
Could I import the slideshows generated by PE4 into iDVD sessions?

Charles:
Yes you can use PE4 to edit photos in iPhoto but you need to set up iPhoto's preferences so that PE4 is the editor of choice when you double-click on a thumbnail. Then if the edit you perform requires a change of extension to .psd then you MUST do a Save As to the desktop and import as a new file. If the edit doesn't require a .psd extension then a normal save will do and iPhoto will recognize the edit you made and update the thumbnail accordingly.
If the PE4 slideshow are Quicktime format then you can use them in iDVD. You'll have to manually import them into your iDVD project, however.
Just a note on slideshows and iDVD. If you don't need to use the Ken Burns effect you can generate a much sharper slideshow by importing the still image files, cropped to the 4:3 iDVD recommended ratio, and build the slideshow in iDVD. There you can have the same music, transitions (but only 1 transition per slideshow) and can put titles and comments on any slide you want (you can't in iPhoto).
The reason for the sharper slideshow is that the stills get rendered to video format by iPhoto and then that video file gets encoded a second time by iDVD. There's a loss of image quality there.
Do you Twango?
