Photoshop elements 11 toolbar does not fit on my screen

I'm trying to use Photoshop elements 11 on my notebook computer, but the toolbar is too big to fit on the screen, and some of the icons are not accessible.  Is there any way to reduce the size or shape of the toolbar, or to scroll to the icons I can't see using the keyboard so I can still access them.  My computer is already set to the highest screen resolution.  Thanks for your help.

I'm having the same problem, but on a laptop. PSE11 has been really badly laid out by the designers: I suspect they've been designing on their own large screens where there is plenty of screen area and completely forgotten the "portable" side of the market. IMO the toolbar on the left, dialogue box at the bottom and menu bars take up far too much real estate. I have a 15.6" widescreen laptop and the window for the image is unacceptably small. The "Quick/ Guided/ Expert" bar is ridulously large, and annoyingly mostly unpopulated which renders it pretty pointless!
So as much as I want PSE11, I won't be buying it. Sorry Adobe, but dumbing down this software and poor screen layout has lost you a sale (and PS is too expensive, so I won't be buying that either). I liked PSE10. I downloaded a copy a week before PSE11 came out. Unfortunately I missed out on being able to buy PSE10 as it was too late by the time I decided to buy it.
Oh well, let's see what happens with PSE12- that's out in about a year's time isn't it?

  • When I click on a picture, Photoshop Elements 12 does not automatically open.

    When I click on a picture, Photoshop Elements 12 does not automatically open (as it did when I used previous versions Photoshop Elements 4 and 9).  I can't even right-click (Windows) on the picture and choose Open With and specifiy Photoshop Elements 12.  I have called Adobe several times (Case No. 185140584) and they keep saying it has been sent up to senior management and they will call me back with a solution - but to no avail!  No return calls and I still can't really use the Product I paid for and downloaded.  The only way I can open up a picture to edit it is to open Photoshop Elements 12 and then then click "Open" and then search for the picture on my hard drive (which takes a lot more time!  I did not experience this difficulty at all with versions 4 or 9!

    Hi,
    You failed to say which Windows system you have - I can get the "Open With" to work on my Windows 7 64bit system.
    When you try to set up the "Open With", are you setting the correct target program?
    It's the green one (not the red one) in the above image.
    Once you have selected that program, make sure you set it as default so that a double click will open the photo in the editor.
    Good luck

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 does not work with Yosemite 10.10

    My Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 does not work with Yosemite 10.10 nor does my Premier Elements 12. When I try to start them up I get the error message. After uninstalling and reinstalling a few times its still the same. Strangely enough PSE 11 seem to work with Yosemite.  I uninstalled my Premier Elements as well and it behave the same way. How do I get a new copy of Premier Elements 12 to reinstall?

    Just to further test what is happening to my iMac on Yosemite is I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CC and when I go to launch it it gives mr the same error message as when I try to launch PES 12 or Premier Elements 12. So whatever the problem is it involves all three and so upgrading to Photoshop CC doesn't even help.  Could there be an Adobe file damaged or missing somewhere that is common to these and yet does not effect Revel and Lightroom?

  • Photoshop Elements 13 does not respond to editing tools

    Photoshop Elements 13 does not respond to editing tools.  I have a MAC.  Any suggestions?

  • I have just downloaded Yosemite but I find that Photoshop Elements 11 does not work properly. If I use a tool like a paint brush or spot healer I cannot paint a full stroke?

    I have just downloaded Yosemite but I find that Photoshop Elements 11 does not work properly. If I use a tool like a paint brush or spot healer I cannot paint a full stroke does anyone else have this issue or know a solution?

    Many thanks that does work. But it now leads to another question is this simply a trackpad issue and if so will it be fixed? I use Elements every day and was thinking I would have to go back to Mavericks.

  • Photo does not fit in the screen

    I watched that video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJMi5l9Ru-g     and tried this to do the parallax scrolling with the image this on my page. Unfortunately, my photo does not fit in the whle screen, even if I take a . jpg image  3000 px wide. ( look here ) I have no idea how I can get the photo to fit in the whole screen.
    Thank you for your help.
    Heike

    Hello again,
    I'm sorry, but nothing works and I don't understand, what you mean. I will show you again with no other item on the page. I draw a rectangle which snaps each of the lines at the outside.
    I got rid of the stroke and the fill.
    I filled with a .jpg image 3000 px wide.
    For the future parallax scrolling I need to set up the photo in vertical tile. And this is, how it shows on the screen.
    I still have no idea, what I made wrong. Thanks for your help

  • Itunes still does not fit on my screen.  How can I make this happen?

    Itunes does not fit my screen so I cannot even see the scroll bar.  Can I fix this?

    I asked the same question a couple of days ago.  Today I read a similar post and read that there are sync issues with a 5C do two things power down the computer, make sure that no applications are running on the 5C.  When the computer restarts it will connect to the 5C after the drivers install.  At least this worked for me. I am using Windows 7, iOS 7.0.4, and iTunes 11.1.3.8 .

  • Photoshop Elements 7 does not start (after 3 years i used it)

    Yesterday, when i opened my Photoshop Elements 7 (I use it on my PC from 3 years), after the splash screen, an alert windows says to me that there is an error and suggested to restart PC or reinstall product. The program automatically closed itself.
    I'm not able to write the exact sentence of the alert, because now PE7 does not start at all. Not even the alert with the error message.
    I always used this product in this 3 years (from this PC), without problems.
    PE7 was preinstalled and pre-registered by the constructor of PC (Sony-Vaio). So, now i have not even the registration key to reinstall PE7.
    Furthermore, I tried to open Adobe Premiere Elements 7 (also, preinstalled and pre-registered, but never used), and after splash screen the program automatically close itself.
    What can I do??!?
    Thanks you all.

    No result by disconnecting from the network. Even if I restart PC.
    But.... I SOLVED the problem!!!!!
    The problem was "FLEXnet Licensing Service"
    Thanks to last tip, that leads to another failure... I remembered that 2 days ago I tried to optimize my PC by stopping some service with MSConfig. One of the disabled services was "FLEXnet Licensing Service".
    Searching in google, now i know that "Flexnet Licensing service is used by most Adobe products to prevent piracy".
    So, some Adobe products do not start, if Flexnet Licensing service is not running.
    Thank you very much for tips, and help in general... very helpful (to investigate the nature of the problem).

  • Photoshop Elements 12 does not support the color space

    I recently installed Photoshop 12 on my computer after a reformat. I was previously using Elements 10. i am not getting this error when trying to import photos from my camera. Photoshop Elements does not support the color space. I am using a Nikon D3200 camera to download from. I never had this problem with Elements 10 using the same camera. How do I fix this?

    It turns out that this problem went away after the program crashed.  Everything seems to be working well now.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 does not install on Win 8.1 64bit

    Hi!
    My system: Windows 8.1 64 bit with all patches, 32GB Ram and engough HD space.
    I downloaded PSE 12 32bit and Premiere Elements 12 64bit. Both won't install.
    Problems:
    Premiere: Installation fails when shared components should be installed. I spent more than 2hrs trying every tip I found in forums. Same result.
    Photoshop: It always tries to deinstall Elements 12 (which is definetely not installed) and fails becaus of "Specified path is empty". It was never fully installed. I cleaned all folders manually, I deleted registry entries according forum advise. I rebooted. I put the installation files onto C:. Before I installed, I deinstalled Elements 9. I also cleaned those files. An no, I did not deinstall my Antivirus. I cannot deactivate it and deinstalling is a very very bad option.
    What I already tried:
    10 reboots
    Deinstall old version
    Clean Temp folder
    Clean Registry
    Delete all folders and hopefull all registry "Elements" entries
    Archive OOBE Folder
    Moved installation Files to C:
    Start Installation as Administrator
    Monitored if any other Adobe program is running - killed all
    Any help is much apreshiated. I am desperate and about to return the products.
    Michael
    Added solution attempts.

    Ok, I had many problems with the installation, but after three attempts I've got it working. This might work with a previously failed installation - but there are other guides in the forum to get this position -thanks also to the many threads on the this - which pointed me in the right direction
    Previously I'd had issues with Error 1935, (on Shared Technologies), Blue screens due to clbudf.sys from Cyberlink Instant burn which blue screened (thread abort exception) this install as also iTunes. (I haven't installed this now...
    My scenario. Win 7 (clean) -> Win 8 -> Win 8.1
    After setting up the setting up the system.
    I ensured the following : (although begrudingly) so I could do a system restore if needed.
    -I disabled Anitvirus & Firewall
    -enabled Volume Shadow Copy Service
    I then ensured I had downloaded Adobe Application Manager 8.0 (read this may help) - I installed - but I did not run it as I believe it updates to Adobe CC Manager( from previous attempts)
    i also downloaded and installed the 32 bit versions of :
    C++2008 redistributable (32 bit)
    C++2008 SP1 redistributable (32 bit)
    I installed Premiere Elements (64 bit) - note I had previously installed Sony Vegas 10 Platinum, which downloaded and installed NET 3.5/Net 2.0 adding to windows features, which many have helped - not sure.
    I installed Photoshop Elements (32 bit)
    I started both apps and updated them to 12.1.
    Happy ... finally - hope this helps others - or at least helps adobe improve their installer, diagnose the issue for others.
