Photoshop Elements 12 (GIF Question)

Can I edit .GIF files in Photoshop Elements 12?
I can drag the gif file into the program, but it does not show up animated.
I've test edited some gifs, but the only file that changes is the first layer of the GIF.
Help?

Yes you can. For animated gifs you place each frame on its own layer. Use 'Save for Web', select the GIF option, check 'Animate' and complete the animation section.
Cheers,
Neale

  • [PC] Reinstalling Photoshop Elements 11 Question

    How do I reinstall Photoshop Elements 11 on new PC?

    Dear Bill (sent 11 March, but not posted here!)
    My old (actually quite new) computer unexpectedly packed up irreparably last month.  Fortunately data was backed up, but not programmes (I assumed I would be able to reinstall from original providers). The answers to your questions in this context are:
    I do not have PSE 11 as either a file or physical media
    Was installed once – on now defunct machine
    No warning of breakdown, so not deactivated or uninstalled
    I have the PSE 11 serial number
    I may say I have been extremely put out by the way that the Adobe helpline has responded – out of warranty so £65 before we will even talk to you!
    Alan
    PS (1 April 2014) I gave up and downloaded a new copy of PSE11 from Adobe, but this would not open. After a long and fruitless time on various Adobe sites, trying to resolve that issue they informed me that they do not 'maintain' previous versions (though maintenance not requested - just access to their own download, and PSE11 may be previous, but mine was only 2 years old). An upgrade option is referred to on the Adobe site, but could not be ordered. I have given up and ordered PSE12 from Amazon (for £65), after being offered it for £199 by Adobe! This has left a very bad taste in my mouth - April fool indeed.

  • Adobe Premiere and Photoshop Elements deal question

    So last week I bought Adobe Premiere Elements and I love it but I just found out that there was a deal where you could buy Adobe Premiere and Adobe Photoshop Elements for $149.   I really want Photoshop Elements but if I buy it individually I have to pay $99.  I was wondering is there a way to just add it on to the Premeiere Elements I just bought?   Or am I stuck having to pay the $99 for Photoshop elements?

    You're making it much more complicated than it has to be. If you make a shortcut for  the DNG converter on your windows desktop or for a mac, a desktop alias or put the converter in the Dock, you can just drop a single file on it. The converter will open and you can ignore the stuff in the window except for the destination for the converted file, and click Convert.

  • Having problems with aperture 3 on imac osx 10.7 and wish to install adobe photoshop elements 10, question will i loose all my liberary from aperture??

    would i loose my fotos from the aperature library when i change to adobe photoshop elements 10. aperture keeps shutting my system down all available help has not done any good.  gmadeline

    You'd only loose your Aperture libraries if you deleted them or damage them in some other way. The simple act of installing another app will not do this.
    Of course you do realize that PS will not have any access to the Aperture libraries. If your originals are referenced then PS can get to them as it would to any file. If your originals are managed you will need to export them in order for PS to use them.
    This all assumes you are abandoning Aperture for PS. If you are looking to do something else post back,

  • Photoshop Elements 9 question

    I just installed Photoshop Elements 9 on a laptop. I had it previously installed on a pc but the motherboard died and so I installed it on a different laptop to get by until getting a new latop. I get a message saying I need to deactivate photoshop from another pc. I uninstalled it but didnt deactivate it before I uninstalled. Does this mean photoshop 9 on the new pc will expire in 30 days?

    You need to contact activation support:

  • Photoshop Elements 8 Question

    I am thinking of buying Photoshop Elements 8, and I would like to know if it has some sort of tool like the quick mask tool in Photoshop.......

    Sorry, I didn't word it very well.
    I know there's a magic wand tool that when you click it, will not let you manually choose what you want to mask.  It will go over whatever you click on that matches pixels.  Does that make sense or am I still confusing you?

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Question

    I've purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 12, completed the installation, but the program will not open.  When I go to Adobe's site and log on, my purchase and software serial number is posted.  Can't figure out what's to try next.

    Hi Florida,
    Did you encounter any errors during the installation?
    What happens when you try to launch the software, does it give any error messages?

  • Edit in Photoshop Elements 10 question:

    Ok, I'm using LR3 and Elements 10. I need to make sure I'm doing this right. Im in LR, and I want to send a DNG file over to Elements. I click Edit with Photoshop Elements, it sends the file over to Elements. I do my edits in Elements, then click Save. It does come back into LR, but its still the PSD and I want it to be in DNG?  Whats the best way to do this?
    Is the only way it comes back is either a jpeg or psd? Or should I send files over in TIFF instead of PSD?  And which color space should I be in?
    Thanks folks.

    Mike,
    DNGs actually make the most sense for Raw type images. For rendered images, they're just another container around your rendered image (TIFF, JPG, ...).
    In order to pass an image from LR to PSE, LR will always create a rendered derivate file of the Raw/DNG photo (either TIFF or PSD), and pass the rendered image file it to PSE. Upon return from PSE, the rendered image is updated in LR, but stays in the same file format.
    Of course you can convert the TIFF/PSD to DNG after return using LR's conversion (Library -> Convert Photo to DNG), but I cannot really see a benefit in doing that.
    There is no option of passing a JPEG to PSE using "Edit in" and receiving the updated version automatically in LR. If you want to work with JPEGs (which I don't recommend because of compression issues), you'd have to save the image as JPEG in PSE and re-import it into LR manually.
    TIFF vs. PSD
    These days (with TIFF supporting layers), there is no advantage of using PSD over TIFF anymore, and TIFF is a more common format than PSD. So I believe most people are using TIFFs to be passed to external applications.
    Color Space
    You want to pass as big a color space to external editors as possible. This would be ProPhotoRGB for LR.
    BUT, as quite a few functions are not available in PSE when using a 16-Bit image (i.e. cloning), I only pass 8-Bit TIFFs to PSE. Using ProPhotoRGB in a 8-Bit image - as far as I understand it - can have some disadvantages for image quality. For this reason I'm passing 8-Bit TIFFs in AdobeRGB (which is smaller than ProPhotoRGB, but bigger than sRGB) to PSE.

  • Photoshop Elements capabilities question

    I need to design a 7"x14" instert for a CD binder.  Is Photoshop Elements enough or should I go with something else.  I have no plans on doing any web based design but want the ability to creat a "semi-professional" insert.  thank you!

    You can make your own template and add images and text.
    Click File >> Open and select all of your photos
    That will add them to the project bin
    Then select File >> New >> Blank File
    Select background color White (or whatever you prefer) and add your width and height for your final image (set resolution 72 for web usage or 240 to 300 for printing) then click OK
    In the project bin click your first photo and drag it up into the main window on top of your new background.
    Click on the move tool and click in the center of the photo and drag to arrange it where you want on the background - you can hold down the shift key to maintain original proportions whilst dragging the corner handles of the bounding box to get the size you want.
    Do the same with the next photo (drag it up into the main window) and use the move tool to position it. Then continue with each image.
    Finally Click Layer >>Flatten image and save as jpeg. (Save as PSD if you want to preserve the layers for editing again)
    N.B. as you add images they get dropped in the center. So you need to use the move tool to drag them apart. Click in the middle of one and move it around, and then the others until you get them positioned as you want.

  • Photoshop Elements Trial questions...

    I am using a trial version of Photoshop Elements, does anyone know if I purchase the regular version if I am able to do more, or if the trial is the actual Elements?
    Also, I am trying to delete the background from the picture (including the white box) and I read somewhere that it says the select the foreground and just delete the background...well I don't even know how to select the foreground?!  I've attached a picture of one of the products I'm trying to pull from the background.  I hope this makes sense!!
    If anyone could help (and put it in the easiest terms possible!!) I'd greatly appreciate it!!
    Thanks,
    Whitney

    Ciao a tutti

    in condizioni normali un file del genere non viene visualizzato dal normale software di un PC......

  • Iphoto and photoshop elements users question

    I elements installed so that it launches through iphoto when i have to edit a picture. I am familiar with elements from my prior windows machine (god forbid). Anyway, why does elements only show the frame on the mac? meaing the background is clear. I can see iphoto or the desktop or any other applications that is behind elements? Is there a preference i have not set?

    What you are describing is just the way programs are
    supposed to look on a mac. You can see your desktop
    because you're supposed to be able to see your
    desktop (except in the Elements quick fix window). If
    you're a switcher this is disconcerting at first, but
    you'll learn to like the way you can quickly access
    documents in any program. For instance, it's a snap
    to sample the color from a graphic on the web in
    Safari with PE for mac. In windows you can do it, but
    it takes a heap of window juggling to get there.
    THANKS

  • Photoshop Elements 12 question....moving photos to new drive....because old drive full.

    I have a external hard drive that is almost full......what is the best way to get photos moved from this drive .....to a new and larger external hard drive?

    IceJim32 a écrit:
    I would  like to move my entire catalogue from one external drive (that is almost full) to a new external drive with more room.  I have several drives with back ups of all photos.....so are you saying Move it.........using the Move from the drop down menus and move it from the old to the new drive.....and not restore it from a back up drive to the new drive?
    The backup/restore process moves not only the picture files library, but also the catalog.
    That's good especially if you want to share catalog and librarty with another computer.
    If you prefer the default location for catalogs on your desktop, no problem. Simply use the catalog manager to move the catalog.
    The drag and drop solution works:
    Organizer: Moving folder trees or branches - Elements Village
    (Sorry, I gave a wrong link in my previous post ...)
    It's more flexible and reasonably safe. It looks faster, but if you want to be safe and do a backup first,  you'll gain nothing.
    The problem with moving folders is the same than when you move folder trees from the explorer: be sure to move in an empty master folder to avoid folder names collisions.
    If you want the catalog folder in the same external drive as the moved library, be sure to have the catalog folder outside of your library tree.

  • Photoshop elements 10 question

    How do I transfer more than one album at a time from elements 10 organizer to a DVD. I would like to put mulitple albums on a DVD.
    Thank you.
    I know how to transfer to the DVD But I am only able to transfer one album to the DVD and it is not a space issue with the DVD just not knowing how to transfer more than one album.

    Hey,

    'With Windows you can select all the files in Albums and from the menu click:
    File >> Export As New'
    This option can't be used to move files to CD/DVD.
    frodo48,
    To move all of your media belonging to all albums, please follow-
    1. Click on 'Find->By details (metadata)'. Select 'album' from flyout and from another flyout select the album name. Repeat this untill all albums are selected and then click on 'search' button. Now Organizer grid will show all media belonging to all albums.
    2. Select all media and click on 'File->Copy/Move to removable drive'.Click on 'Next' button and then select 'CD/DVD' as destination drive and click on 'ok' button.
    Please let me know if you need more info.

  • Photoshop elements 11 question

    I tried a practice file yesterday with PhotoShop 11 using with my Windows Vista system.  I used one of my set of photos, selected a few, and chose one to work with.  I was impressed with the changes I could make using Photoshop for the first time ever.  Now, whenever I go to photo editor and hit open, I always get the exact same photo I played with yesterday - nothing else, even when I choose that practice file.  Nor can I get rid of this as an option.  My other options under "open"
    are "new images from clipboard" (which never works) and "new blank file" which only places blank files.  What I want to do is to use a desktop file only, where I can place photos
    when I wish to work with them, by simply copying them from other sources I already have, and choose from the half dozen or so photos I will place there when I want to work with
    photos.  Right now I am stuck in no man's land, unable to work with any more photos.  What am I doing wrong?  How do I use only the "work file" I want to use?  How do I replace the practice file with the file I want to use?

    Try File>Open
    Also, if you just click on the word Open instead of dropping down the menu, that should get the open dialog as well.

    Thanks

    ugh! I just don't see what you are talking about...I messed around a bit, and I ended up having to update something with the elements browser? Anyway, now I have a different format of how my pictures show up. On the right side of the screen is where I have the share button and I am able to send thru there, but then I have to enter some verification code and I keep trying but it does not send one to me thru the email.  I have the email address correct. but no code comes? Any ideas
