Photoshop elements 12 freezes in Yosemite when attempting to select the spot heal tool.

The program freezes and must be force quit. Photoshop Elements 8 still seems to work alright.

Yes, I am having the same issue.     Here is the FIX for now...Use a mouse until they fix this issue (only touchpad fails)
I found the answer tonight online while searching but forgot to save the link, but it works...  Use a mouse until they fix this issue as it only applies to some and only to the touchpad.  Use a mouse the app works fine.  Enjoy...
I pick a brush to start painting, start to paint and it freezes.  Must force quit.  I have the new 15" mac book pro with retina and extra video card.  This is my first mac as I have always been a windows person.  Always heard macs never have a problem.  What a bunch of liars...  This sucks.  PS... most adobe products I have owned and used over the years have normally provided good reliable quality...

  • 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

  • Itunes freezes at 50% when attempting to access the store on WIN7 Pro

    Using a Dell Latitude with Windows 7 Pro, fully updated, and working internet - selecting the "store" from the iTunes page results in the status bar freezing at 50% and I can not access the iTunes Store.  Anyone have suggestions for setting changes etc.

    Did not get any responses - so did some digging and found the answer myself in other discussions.
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

  • Audition CC is crashing when attempting to select the Mastering effect from the Rack.

    Steps: Load audio wave file, from effects rack select Special > Mastering.
    Audition Error
    Audition has encountered a fatal error and needs to shut down.
    This does not happen when selecting other plugins in the same tree.
    I did choose the option to import presets from previous version which I suspect might be causing a conflict as I did have custom presets from Audition CS5.5 for Mastering.

    I think my first hunch at troubleshooting this would be to rename the preferences folder and relaunch Audition, so that it starts with fresh, clean, non-migrated preferences and see if the crash still occurs.
    If so, then the presets and preferences are likely NOT the problem and you can rename your old preferences folder back.  Then we need to do a little more hacking and find out what Audition or the OS thinks is causing the crash.  This will be different depending on the OS.

  • Spot Healing tool in Elements 9 causes program crash

    I have installed Photoshop Elements 9 on a computer running Windows 7 Professional. Installation was unevenful, and the program runs without problem until the spot healing tool is selected. Clicking over an image imperfection causes a dark circle to appear, then the whole screen goes pale, the 'busy' circle appears and everything stops.  Machine operation can only be recovered by closing the application.
    I have re-installed twice and the same thing happens each time.
    I cannot find any other problems.
    I'm reluctant to pay for this product until it works!

    " it really looks as if the spot healing tool is defective."
    Same problem here, Windows XP.
    Paid application online, downloaded and installed program, started up and everything is working properly UNTIL
    content aware function is accessed.
    Program terminates by itself and reports and error to Microsoft.
    Anyone knows a solution to this problem?
    In search of a solution I found this thread.....

  • Computer crashing when using Spot Healing Tool ~ PSE9

While using the "Guided" edit for "Perfect Portait" every other tool works just fine, but when I go to do the "Spot Healing" it crashes. Weather I am in the "Guided" edit or to use it on it's own. This is my 1st attempt using PSE 9 and this feature. HELP!!

    Photoshop elements 11 freezes when I try to back up the catalogue. i get a message "Please wait while Elements Organizer prepares for backup". what do i do?

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

  • 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.

  • 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..

  • An attempt to open a pdf file with Photoshop Elements (version 12) resulted in a pop generated by the Photoshop Editor stated "Impossible to execute this operation (opening file) because one of the specified colour is not managed". Is there any mean to ad

    An attempt to open a pdf file with Photoshop Elements (version 12) resulted in a pop generated by the Photoshop Editor stated "Impossible to execute this operation (opening file) because one of the specified colour is not managed". Is there any mean to adapt the file to make its reading possible?
    Did somebody get the same problem?

    It is a high order probability that your SQL's report generator is creating the PDF, not Acrobat (which by design and EULA cannot be used in as/with server).
    That the report generator outputs to an old-old version of PDF bears this out.
    Wiki articles on PDF are very nice for those high level intro summaries.
    To know / understand PDF you purchase and study the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1:2008).
    Rather than "PDF validation" you may want to consider addressing the appearent root cause of the problem(s).
    You can change the email2fax application to one that can deal with older PDF versions.
    You can change the report generator to one that can output to the ISO Standard.
    (Perhaps the in-use application can be configured to output to the current version of PDF (i.e., the ISO Standard).
    Be well...

  • Photoshop Elements not working with Yosemite

    After upgrading OS to Yosemite I could not get Photoshop Elements 11 to work properly - sluggish operation and brushes not working.  I upgraded to Elements 13 but it gets sluggish as time passes and some of the filters don't work.  It is frustrating to say the least as I do lots of photo processing and it just takes too long now.  Can anybody help?

    Hi,
    We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
    We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
    In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
    1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
    2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
    Plug-in installation instructions:
    1. Close Photoshop Elements
    2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
    3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
    • For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    • For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
    Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
    If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
    Hope this helps!

    Is photoshop elements 13 compatible with Yosemite 10.10.1 on MAC

    Thanks
    I can't understand why I can't install it on my MacBook Air.  I continue to get Exit Code: 7 with DW063 being the dominant errors.  the error statement says it is unable to get permissions of /Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 13/Support files/ etc.
    There is no Adobe Photoshop Elements folder on my computer. 
    I added a 2nd account with Admin privileges and got the same results.
    I downloaded the install file from both Adobe and Amazon.
