Photoshop elements 12 for iMac printing undersize

I have purchased Photoshop Elements 12 for iMac from Applestore and when I print a photo "actual size" the printout is only 93% of true size.
I have tried to print to a Canon MP610 and a Canon MG5550 with the latest drivers installed and get the same result.
If I print the photo from either the Apple iPhoto app. or from the Apple Preview app. the printout is the correct size.
Just in case there was anything amiss with the photoshop Elements 12 installation I uninstalled the app. and reinstalled it and still prints are 93% of true size.
I believe that Photoshop Elements 12 for iMac when purchased from Applestore is a special edition software.
I am also running the latest release of Mavericks OSX operating systems for iMac.
Any Ideas ?

I do not believe this will help because the same thing happens with both of the printers I have and so think it is unlikely that both printers have the identical problem. I also draw your attention to an earlier reply to hatstead describing how the size reduction also applies to PDF files generated from the PSE print window. Also when an image is generated using PSE saved and then printed using another application such as Apples "Preview" the printout is printed the correct size. As mentioned earlier, the version of PSE 12 I am using is a special edition software exclusive to Apple iTunes app. store. This version does not have the photo management part of the software but includes more of the tools that come with the full photoshop version. This it has been tailored to work with Apple iPhoto. Please see iTunes app store for more info. This may mean in view of what you said that the issue may only exist in this version of the software.

Photoshop elements for iMac OSX 10.9.5

Which is the best version of Photoshop Elements to get for my new iMac 21.5" OSX 10.9.5. I have not installed Yosemite. Am using Mavericks.

While Photoshop Elements is nice and pretty good (it is a limited version of Photoshop after all) it is rather expensive for what it can do and for what it cannot do.
PIxelmator is nearly identical in function and in user interface elements to Photoshop and has more of the regular/standard features of full Photoshop for only $29.99 U.S.D. in the Mac App Store.
I highly reccommend this app over PS Elements, hands down.
Please check it out before deciding.

I use Photoshop Elements 11 to print panoramas. Works for jpeg images but not tiff. Suggestions?

I use Photoshop Elements 11 to print panoramas. It works for jpeg images but not for tiff images. Seems strange because PSE11 manages tiff images in all other processes. Anyone fared better?

Thank you for your trouble.
My images are not usually layered and the particular case I am about to quote, it is not. The dimensions are 10,546 x 2,790 and the image has 16.7 mbs. I use 8 bit colour. When I set up the print screens for tiff, everything is normal until I get to the last screen with the image set upon the photo paper. Then the paper size indicated with the image refuses to budge from the A4 size, so the panorama gets printed on that. I consulted the Adobe chat line and the expert could 't get it to work either. So he came to the conclusion that the tiff capability had not been extended to printing panoramas. In seeking advice, I thought someone might refer me to an updating patch!
Well done! You have confounded the system! I could not find any control that would override the setting.

Testing PS Elements for Scanning & Printing Checks -is there a way to print as a doc not as a photo

I am testing PS Elements for Scanning & Printing Checks -is there a way to print as a doc and not as a photo - it is a waste of ink and time to print as a photo???. I could do it out of a very old version of Photoshop that came with my computer that ran W97 or 98, my new computer is W7-64 and I am having trouble printing jpg's as anything except a photo. W-XP pro with old version of PS allowed me to print as a document on plain paper..Please Help.

You can try two different ways to print your photos as a document:
1) Download a trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI and you it as your printer. This creates a pdf file for you and you can just view the file on your screen or print it out using your printer;
2) Windows 7 comes with Microsoft XPS Document Writer. You can select it as your printer and save the file as a document by giving it a name;

Good luck.

Anyone using Photoshop Elements for Fashion Design

Hi,
I'm looking for software to help me in the Fashion Design Industry. I want to use it for my sketches. I am a beginner when it comes to Fashion Design and have no experience using Photoshop software. I had read somewhere that Photoshop Elements is a less expensive version of Photoshop. I read that it does 90% of what Photoshop does without the higher end pre -press printing capabilities. I also read that there is a book that will help you with the other 10% to achieve the full Photoshop capabilities.
1a. I would like to know is anyone using Photoshop Elements for Fashion Design?
1b. If yes, please explain in details what exactly are you using it for?
2a. Is there more than one version of Photoshop Elements?
2b. If so, what version do you recommend?
3. How easy is it to use?
4. Do you know of any books you can recommend that will help me with using the software for fashion design?
5. If you don't feel Photoshop Elements is the best choice, then what other software would you recommend?
Thanks

I've never used PSE for fashion design, but there is only one flavor of elements, not a variety of different versions. I would wonder about using it for this because it could make a lot of difference if you need to create output in CMYK form (for print) or to softproof (neither of which is available in PSE). You also can't create composite layers in Elements.
I like Elements a lot, but I would not say it's 90% of Photoshop, more like 70% and I would expect that people would use Illustrator rather than PS for most things to do with creating illustrations. Also, there is no book that can make PSE into PS, although you can extend what it can do, but Adobe has deliberately crippled certain features in PSE.
I would say we need to know what you need a program to do to be able to give you any useful kind of advice. If you need to be able to draw vectors and paths, PSE is not a good choice. If you just need to sketch, it's fine.

Photoshop Elements for Mac - Three Versions Installed

Hi there,
I'm cleaning up stuff on my iMac and find I have three purchased versions of PhotoShop Elements for Mac installed, V4, V6 and now V8. Can I safely remove the old V4 and V6 versions without them affecting anything in V8?
Also, there are other versions of related software, such as Adobe Bridge, then Adobe Bridge CS3 and CS4. Can the original and CS4 versions be removed.
What else might have multiple versions relating to Photoshop Elements?
Can I remove these by simply deleting them from the Applications or is there a process which needs to be followed, i.e., an Uninstall?
Guidance much appreciated.
Lynn

"Never delete anything, just buy a bigger hard drive"!
After I admit to being "slightly eccentric", let me say I don't know why you even need to uninstall any of them. The only caveat there is you can't run two versions simultaneously. I have PSE- 5 & 7 installed on one of my computers, and I import the same file into both catalogs, while duplicating the folders on a separate HDD also. You can never be to sure, or is that too insecure, I'm not really sure.

Had a windows computer with my element 7. Now just bought a Mac OSX version 10.9.2 what would be the best photoshop elements for this machine. I did download elements 12 from Apple store but kept getting incompatible message when trying to open a phot

I have just installed Photoshop Elements for a MAC. MY photos were in iPhoto, I have 47,000 pictures and my drive on my Mac laptop is not large enough. I store my photos in iPhoto on an external drive. Can I store all my photos on an external drive when using Photoshop Elements? If so, in what format should they be stored in? I do I move them from iPhoto to the new storage location? How do I call them up in organizer? And how do I call them up to Edit? I do not want to store any pictures on my Apple Mac laptop. I want to store pictures on several external devices.

Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

I had purchased Adobe Premiere Elements along with Adobe Photoshop Elements for my MacBook Air

I had purchased Adobe Premiere Elements along with Adobe Photoshop Elements for my MacBook Air OSX Mavericks. Due lack of space I had to reiinstall OSX and could not retirieve from Seagate Back-up drive software in workable condition. Options please?

All you should have to do is to go to the Adobe web site http://www.adobe.com.
Sign in with your Adobe ID and Password.
Then go the web page's Search field and type in "My Orders".
Follow the "My Orders" link to your orders, find the order corresponding to the version in question.
There should be an opportunity there to download a new set of installation files.
Do you have your purchased serial number? If not, I am not sure if it will be included in the "My Orders"
area. But, it should be in the "My Products" which you can access from the Search field. Click on the
name of your product in "My Products", and the serial number should be revealed.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

I am with a university and i purchased the adobe photoshop elements for a faculty member of mine, how can he download it when it is in my name but he is the one needing it?

i am with a university and i purchased the adobe photoshop elements for a faculty member of mine, how can he download it when it is in my name but he is the one needing it?

There is nothing to prevent him from downloading and installing the trial version (Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe). At the point all you need to do is provide him with the serial number so that he can activate it. If the intent is that he be the owner of the software then you might want to see about transfering the license...

I purchased Photoshop Elements for windows and need it on mac

I purchased Photoshop Elements for Windows and need it for Mac. Can I reverse this or is there a way to get the right product?

I don't know if things have changed (I get the feeling they have as of late), but normally an Elements license can be applied to either platform, so you should be able to download the trial version for the Mac and use the serial number to activate it. If you have any problem you should be able to resolve it with customer spport thru chat.
