Photoshop elements 12 not working help

I have just got a macbook pro and put on my elements 12 to find out that it is not very good as it has bad graphics as the whole programe is fuzzy. This is down to that it does not support the retina display. I would like to know weather there is anything I am able to do, if not what do you recomend?
As i am happy to try another adobe product or even something else that isjust as good.
I have tried to use it but it is too hard to work with as i am unable to tell if i do have a pixulated photo.

Barbara, thanks for contributing. I asked about this on Adobe support chat today, and they confirmed this problem. They said they didn't know when a fix would be available for PSE. (PS has already been fixed). Also they told me that I can't return the PSE 12 upgrade I bought from Adobe because it was purchased more than 30 days ago. They said however if I sold it they could transfer the registration number to the new owner (meaning that they would update their records).

New Mac: Why are CC and Photoshop Elements not working when Lightroom and Reader are fine

Last week I changed computers (swapping an old Mac for a 13-in MacBook Pro Retina running OSX Yosemite 10.10.3. I copied all my data over to the new machine using Migration Assistant.
All programs work fine (including my copy of Lightroom 3 and Reader XI). But my CC and Photoshop Elements 10 do not. I have tried uninstalling both, but whenever I try to reinstall PE10 from its disk or download it just stops almost at the end. I then I get an "initiation failed" message, along with a request to download the now defunct "Support Advisor" app!
I cannot download Adobe Application Manager, or the CC desktop app either - for the former I get an "initiation failed" message, along with the "download Support Advisor" app" message again! For the latter I get a message saying "Adobe Creative Cloud Is Needed to Resolve this problem - however it is missing or damaged." Then I get a message and a link to download Creative Cloud. Then when I've downloaded it and I click on the installer... it runs for a bit and then I get the message again: "Adobe Creative Cloud Is Needed to Resolve this problem - however it is missing or damaged." And I get a prompt and link to download the CC app. Guess what happens next? And so it goes on. And on and on, in a tedious circle.
This is incredibly annoying and frustrating as I have work to do! Anyone have any ideas what's happening?
Cheers

do not use migration to install adobe programs.
you should uninstall and clean whatever you've done, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
then dl the cc desktop app to your new computer and use it to install your adobe cc programs, Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial
if you have non-subscription adobe programs, use the installation files for them:
Downloadable installation files available:

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!

vaishali

Install of 30 day Photoshop trial not working, help!

Hi,
I'm trying to install and use the 30 day trial of Photoshop... The download and install seemed to go smoothly, but now when I click on the "ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE" icon on the desktop, it does the whole 'extracting files' thing then check the box for "Launch Adobe Photoshop CS3", nothing happens. I've tried it several times, and have re-started my computer but still it won't work.
I'm using a Dell Inspiron with 3GB RAM, running Vista Home Premium.
Hope someone can help..
Thanks,
Caitlin

well caitlin i will go further and say i down loaded CS3 some 3 times and yes no luck in getting passed extracting the files. i have even purchased a trial CD still no luck. i have windows vista buisness.
As far as adobe are concerned it is only a trial and not worthy of there help. i have not found an answer as yet or got any response from adobe or help, and here we are bothe looking to possibly purchase software which in the uk costs £1000 +.
It beats me how a company like adobe hopes to encourage people like myself to upgrade from photoshop elements 6 to CS3.
if you get the download to work please let me know how you did it.

Photoshop Elements not working right after not using for several months?

Have Photoelements #10 on this computer. Have been away, using #10 on another computer, now back and PhotoElements #10 is NOT working properly?

Hi,
Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.

Photoshop elements not working

when i open photoshop elements, i have the option of new project open project or organize it doesnt matter what i choose when i click on any of them the program closes and does not open the desired action. i just installed this program in december and havent used it but twice.

Hi Adam014,
Which version of PSE you have on your system? Also your OS?
Are you sure that PSE is correctly installed on your system. Please check C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\ for the corresponding folders for Organizer and Editor.
Can you try running of these programs directly from inside?
If you have Win, please try running Organizer by double clicking this exe. -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (On a 32-bit machine, it would be Program Files). On MAC, try running Adobe Elements Organizer 10 from Applications directly.
Please let me know the result.
Thanks

Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

It all depends on the codec the file uses, Karli.
What model of camcorder is this video coming from?
Are you working on a Mac or a PC? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements? When you started your project, did you select the settings for a DSLR at 720p? This is a vital step since it will activate the components your computer will need to work with many of these types of files.
BY THE WAY, KARLI--
PLEASE do not post the same question more than once on this forum! You've already got a thread going with this same question and several responses posted. It's very confusing when you post the same question a second time and start a whole new discussion.

I am using Windows 7 64-bit. After installing Photoshop Elements 13 and trying to run it I always get the message: Photoshop does not work anymore. And it doesn't.

Hi Hardy Tasso,
Are you seeing this problem since first launch of PSE13 after installation or recently?
Please try:
Keep Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys pressed while launching PSE13 Editor and click OK on the dialog that comes next.

Since 2012 I have Photoshop Elements always worked without any problem, however now the language is suddenly German how can this be changed, removed the program and re-installed, not working. Program is downloaded and updated via the apple app store?

I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

Premiere Elements not working

When starting, it reports Organiser Database missing or corrupt. When trying to create a new database, Adobe crashes and ends.
Any suggestions?

Hi AT,
You mentioning the psa.prf file helped me in googling the steps you mentioned for other users on the forum, so thanks for that.
Also your direct download link was helpful, as the package is not able to update from the help/update function.
Any idea why the update functionality is not working properly?
I still need another update for camera raw, for both photoshop and premiere. I found links for direct dowloads for versions 6.5 and 6.6. Also the direct links end in a crash, see attachment.
Do you have suggestions?

Henk

Great news. Great job in working through the details to get to the solution.
I was waiting for more information from you so that I could give you version specific information on the how to.
But you seemed to have found the paths needed without supplemental instructions.
The two major troubleshooting tools that I would use when the Elements Organizer is involved
a. delete the psa.prf file
and/or
b. create a new catalog.
Best wishes as you move forward in your Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 projects.
By the way, if you are not working from the 9.0.1 Update, good idea to do that.

You can do that update with the program closed....do not bother with Help Menu/Update for this update. Use the link instead.

After Photoshop Elements quit working for the second time in three months, I uninstalled it and now cannot get it to reinstall from the disc. Nothing happens when I insert the disc. All I can do is look at the folders and files and see nothing that tells me how to start the installation. Clicking "open with Auto play" gives me irrelevant options, view photos, share, etc. I'm running Windows 8. This program has worked, although buggy, for the past year.

reinstall by clicking setup on your disk or downloading and installing,

Will Photoshop Elements 10 work with Microsoft 8.1 operating system?

When selecting the option e-mail from the Elements Organizer to share a picture, the program stops with a note from Elements Organizer stating they could not finish creating the e-mail message. I never experienced this problem when it was operating in my older computer running on Windows XP. Will Photoshop Elements 10 work with Windows 8.1?

Depends on what e-mail client you're using. I believe that for W8 you need to install the Windows 7 version of Windows Live Mail.

Can Photoshop Element 9 work with Lightroom 5?

Can Photoshop Element 9 work with Photoshop Lightroom 5?

Hi David_B,
Thanks for your reply! I've installed PS many times (since version 3, I think), and nothing like this has ever happened. I use and teach PS and LR for a living. The tech person I spoke with told me it is not unusual to have this happen when upgrading to CC 2014.
What happened is that PS CC2014 would not open the image in PS if I used the Photo>Edit In>PS 2014 command unless I used Photo>Edit In>Open as Smart Object. Once opened as a smart object, PS would not save the file. I think it said Error 2.
The tech took control of my computer, removed PS and LR and all the associated files a few times. He told me I'd have to have a high level person help me, but they didn't call me, so I phoned in. After waiting an hour to get to the correct person (not a high level tech) he said he'd have to uninstall everything again and start over and that it would take over an hour. I don't have the time right now to fix it as I'm headed out of town until the end of the month to teach LR.
In the meantime, LR works, but I'm using a trial version that expires in 30 days. It exports to PS ok, but I had to reload all my plug-ins, and apparently LR can't find Photomatix. LR is not installed in my usual applications folder - the tech put it on my system backup drive.
My case number is: 185696477
Thanks so much for your willingness to help!

By the way, there is no mystery in that technology : for serious photography work (on calibrated and commonly large displays like 1920 * 1200) the best it will be able to do is to be on par with semi-pro displays currently used for retouching. On the contrary, for displaying on smartphones or tablets, the resolution factor is important.
