Photoshop Elements 12 keeps freezing while I'm editing my pics.

I have photoshop elements 12 and it keeps freezing on me while I'm in the middle of editing my photos. I have window's 8 on my pc. Is there a reason why this could be happening? (problem with window's 8, installed incorrectly?)

Can you post a screenshot of the error message?

My photoshop CS4 keeps crashing while I am in the middle of editing a photo. I am running Mac OS X 10.9.4. I have tried to contact support and I was directed here.

You were redirected to this user forum because CS4 is no longer supported by Adobe at all.
We'll need a lot more info before we can help.
You'll have to manually determine whether Photoshop CS4 is updated to version 11.0.2 (the Adobe auto updater is most unreliable in CS4), and give us plenty of other information.

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 and elements 13
Working in iPhoto
Want to edit image using photoshop elements
Did the following
IPhoto>Preferences>Advanced>Edit Photos: In drop down menu chose in Photoshop Elements
Also control click and chose edit in external editor
Drop down menu edit photos in external program>photoshop Elements
Go to to the image I'm working on --- selected the image, the clicked on edit. When nothing happened I double clicked the image. Still elements didn't open. Then I opened the Elements editor, went back to iphoto and tried the entire process again. the photo still didn't open on Elements 13 for editing.
I have 3 Elements 13 books as well as looked on line--all my references say the exact same thing ---- iPhoto>Preferences>advanced>edit in external program>photoshop Elements
I uninstalled and reinstalled both iPhoto as well as Elements.
I spoke with application technical support. There appears to be nothing wrong with my copy of iPhoto. However there is no support from Adobe. I waited for over 1.5 hours for chat support several days ago, and finally gave up.

You are probably choosing the obvious file rather than the correct file as the PSE editor. The actual editor is hidden away inside the Support Files folder. The PSE file at the top level of the PSE folder in Applications is just an alias for the welcome screen and what you're describing is exactly what happens when you choose that. You want this one:

How do I upgrade from Photoshop Elements 11 to PSE 12 (student edition)

How do I upgrade from Photoshop Elements 11 to PSE 12 (student edition)

I believe you just need to purchase the upgrade. I don't think there is any additional discount with upgrade pricing, meaning you don't also get a student version discount with an already discounted upgrade purchase. As far as versions go, there is no difference between a regular and a student version... the difference is in the licensing.

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..

Captivate 7 keeps freezing while working/editing courses

Hi,
Every 10 minutes or so Captivate 7 keeps freezing regularly (for about 20 seconds)! This happens while working on courses or editing slides (backend). I used Captivate 4-6 on the same machine without any problems..
Very seldom an error message appears which says that Captivate isn't able to communicate with Windows anymore!
Any ideas?
Many THX in advance;)

Photoshop elements 6 freezes

Hi friends, I need some help...
Photoshop Elements 6 always freezes when trying to edit/fix any picture (guided edit, full edit, etc.)
I´ve uninstalled and installed again and again, but always the same.
Please, give me some advice here ¡!
Thanks in advance.
Regards and happy new year,
Carlos

...it was the catalog that was somehow corrupted
Thanks everybody for your help !!!!!!!!!!!!!
And ok, I'm going to think about upgrading the HD...
Thanks again,
Carlos
_cut & paste for the solution provided by Johnrellis_
Repair or create a catalog if the Organizer wont start
Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen. Hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys and click Organize. Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window. Select your catalog and click Repair. Select repair anyway even if PSE doesnt find problems. Then for good measure, click Optimize. (The documentation says that Optimize merely optimizes the performance of your catalog, but some people have reported that it also enabled catalog conversion to proceed after they initially encountered errors.)
If youve changed PSE 6 to start in the Organizer or Editor and thus cant get to the Welcome screen, start the Editor, do Window > Welcome, and in the lower-left corner change it back to Start Up With Welcome Screen.
If repairing the catalog doesnt help, repeat the steps above, but instead of clicking Repair, click New to create a new test catalog. If youre able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works correctly, then theres likely something about the old catalog that is corrupted in some other way. In that case, try recreating the Organizers thumbnails.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 freezes on startup

Hi,
I am having issues with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, When I first load the software, it asks me if I want to use the "Organize" or the "Edit". When I choose "Edit", it loads the program, but I am unable to click on any options or toolbars as it freezes for around 3 minutes (says not responding) until it eventually kicks in and loads, I am then able to use the software perfectly.
On startup, is it trying to run updates or talk to Adobe for any reason, and can I turn this off?
Also, has anyone had the same problem? Help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Ian

OK let’s deal with the Editor. The editor saved prefs often get corrupted. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst double clicking on the desktop icon for PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Wait whilst it rebuilds the preferences.

Photoshop Elements 6 Freezing, I need help, please.

I got the program along with the Wacom Tablet I got, not too long back.
It worked for a while, but then started freezing at random moments.
But now, I can never open it without it freezing about 30 seconds after launch.
I checked the FAQ's and Trouble-Shooting section, but everything seems in order.
I just updated my Mac (10.5.6) and I have high enough Ram.
It's not the disk and I haven't messed with the folder it came in since I installed it.
(Didn't touch it then either)
Oh, and I have updated the program itself to the latest udate I can get.
The only thing I haven't tryed is Uninstall and reinstall it.
This program was really helpful when I could use it, and I would love to be able to use it again.
Thanks for the help.

>(10.5.6)
Why? Why not 10.5.8?
In any case, go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 settings
Opera preferences (if you have it)
Repair permissions and try again. If it still crashes to go Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 6>Plug-ins>import/export and delete the adobe TWAIN driver (note that if you have an epson scanner it may not work properly after doing this).
