Photoshop Elements 12 saving over files without asking

Open a picture in Elements 12, on Mac, do a Save As, give it a name without an extension, and save. It will save the file and add a .jpg at the end. Then open a different file, do a Save As, give it the same name as you just saved the other file with, without an extension, and save. It will overwrite the existing file you saved first, without asking, and add .jpg to the name again. I have lost all kinds of files, and I dont know which ones, by PS Elements 12 saving over them without warning me! BUG!

Oh, and while you're in there delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
There's a saved application states folder at the same level as the Preferences folder. Delete anything in there for PSE.

Where is photoshop elements 11 catalog files stored in windows 7 for carbonite to back up?

Where is photoshop elements 11 catalog files stored in windows 7 for carbonite to back up? Also any other files besides the pictures that I should back up?

Very important : your catalog does not contain your pictures. They are where you have imported them in your computer. If they are all under a master folder like 'My Pictures' or 'Pictures', you should set your backup software to backup those folders.
The catalog itself is mainly a database keeping all the information about your pictures : location, keywords, ratings, albums...
It's a folder containing the dababase and several other components. You find its location looking in the help section, system info.
The integrated backup / restore process in Elements saves both your media files and the catalog.

Does Photoshop Elements support raw files from the Panasonic GH3 camera?

Does Photoshop Elements support raw files from the Panasonic GH3 camera?

Yes, if you have PSE 11 (not the mac app store version). You will need to go to Help>Updates in the editor to update ACR to 7.3.

Photoshop stopped saving "PNG" files

Hi All...
My photoshop stopped saving PNG files today. Weird!
I reinstalled my software, all disc's, and it still won't save. It says there is a 'program error".
Any one have any thoughts?
Thanks.

Please describe the process in more detail (including OS etc.).
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Cannot start Photoshop Elements 8 - scratch file error

Admittedly, I posted this in the wrong forum: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3020052#3020052. Also, I resolved my issue, but I'm posting this because it's apparent other are having the same issue and maybe this will help them.
When attempting to launch Photoshop Elements 8 on a brand new, core I7 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, I got an error message that PSe was unable to create a scratch file due to insufficient permissions. I've seen others having this issue, and here is what I have tried:
1. Use Disk Utility - repair permissions -- no change
2. Allow my account, which is an administrator to read/write to root drive (manually changed permissions). No change.
3. Started PSe while holding Option Command and attempted to change scratch file location from "Start" to "Macintosh HD" - no change.
4. Multiple uninstalls, manually deleted plist/prefs followed by reinstalls - no change
I read all the posts I could find on this topic and advice I received was:
"2) Check your disk/folder permissions -- because they are messed up, as previously discussed in this topic (even though it's about Windows)."
This did not resolve the issue. I think this is a PSe bug that should be filed/fixed. As I said, this is a brand new machine and fresh install.
What did work for me after trying the above: Plugged in a FAT32-formatted Western Digital USB external drive and started PSe. PSe was able to start and I've been able to use app.
Again, I think this is a PSe bug.

Ahh, a point I failed to see Have you tried resetting the Photoshop preference file? Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop's startup. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.

Photoshop Elements 13 Install file not on disk

I purchased Photoshop Elements 13 & Premiere Elements 13 (boxed set) from a reseller. Premiere Elements installed with its serial number without a problem, but Photoshop Elements does not seem to have the installer file on the disk. Is there any way to contact Adobe directly?

THANKS
I knew it would be something simple...

Photoshop Elements 11 Editor : File/Open - How can I set a default folder ?

Hi
When I am in the Photoshop Elements 11 Editor and I want to load a picture from "My Pictures" on my hard disk ...
I go the menu item File/Open ...
Right now PE11 opens the last picture folder I worked with before ...
How can I make PE11 show the root directory of the "My Pictures" Library.
I do not want people to see which pictures I have been working with lately.

Before quitting the app after you have worked clic Edit->Preferences and click Reset preferences on next launch.
This would reset the settings and next time it will open my pictures by default with file open,
Thanks,
Garry

When I download a jpg picture to Photoshop Elements Editor the file is stored in Documents & Settings/My Name/Local Settings/Temp but I cannot find this location on my computer.

The pictures are attached to e-mail messages. I can get as far as Documents and Settings and my name but there is no Local Settings folder shown. Using MS search with the name of the file gives nothing. I use Windows XP and Mozilla Firefox. The file appears in Photoshop Elements and I can save it as a psd file but I cannot find either the jpg or the psd files to move them into My Pictures.

The Local Settings folder is a hidden folder.
(1) If the file appears in the Downloads manager (Tools menu or Ctrl+j), you can right-click it and use Open Containing Folder to get directly to it.
(2) To be able to see hidden folders on Windows XP in general, try this:
Open My Computer or Windows Explorer
Tools > Folder Options > View tab
Scroll down and look for the checkbox regarding hidden files and folders and unhide them.
Hopefully this will resolve the issue. Any luck?
(3) By the way, you may be able to save the images from the email message to a more convenient location by right-clicking the links and using Save Link As. (Before you open them for editing.)

Photoshop CS2 Saving a file as .jpg

I recently installed Photoshop CS2 in my Windows 8.1 machine and now when I create an image in PHotoshop I don't have an option for saving the file as a .jpg in the drop down menu Can anyone help?

With CS2, you have to make sure the image is flattened, there are not paths, no extra channels, in RGB colorspace, and 8bit. The current versions of PS does this for you, but not CS2.
BTW, you said you just installed CS2, which is a very old program. I hope you have a license for it. See this thread:

Photoshop Elements 8 - Organizer - File size too large

I have a new computer running Windows 7 with gobs of RAM and hard drive space. I’ve recently installed Photoshop Elements 8.
I am having the following problem in the Organizer for some 35MM slides that I’ve scanned at 1600DPI. It looks like the pixel size in one example is 9590x6013 = 57,664,670. Based on some reading on the internet it appears that the standard limit in Organizer is 54 megapixels (56,623,104 pixels). Looking over all of my slides I think I will need around 62-65,000,000.
I found an Adobe TechNote, http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402760.html, that seems to address this issue for earlier versions. I’ve tried a few times with no luck to follow these notes but there are some differences in my Registry as I’ve noted below in steps 4&5 of the instructions.
I’ve restarted both my computer and Photoshop Elements after making the registry change with no change in the Organizer message. I’ve removed the pictures from the catalog and added them back with no change. They look fine in the Editor. The pictures also look fine in all Windows tumbnails.
The following instructions are copied from the TechNotes. I’ve made two comments in Red where I was a little unsure since my Registry after install of version 8 does not exactly match these version 5&6 notes.
Some instructions I found on your website
To override the maximum image size limit for the Organizer:
Exit the Organizer.
Choose Start > Run.
Type regedit in the Open field and click OK.
In the left pane, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ADOBE\Photoshop Elements\5.0 for Photoshop Elements 5.0 and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ADOBE\Photoshop Elements\6.0 for Photoshop Elements 6.0. Notice that my Adobe is not under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE it is under HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Highlight the Organizer folder in the left pane.
I’ve noticed that I have two “Organizer” folders under the Adobe registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Adobe/Elements Organizer/8.0
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/8.0/Organizer
Thus far, I’ve only tried this DWORD in the second option.
Choose Edit > New > DWORD Value, and name the new value MaxImageSize.
Highlight the MaxImageSize DWORD and choose Edit > Modify.
Change the Base option to Decimal.
In the Value Data field, enter the new maximum size for an image in pixels. For example, if you want to change the limit to 24 megapixels, then enter 25165824. (To determine a megapixel value in pixels, multiply the value by 1024 x 1024.) If there is a specific image size you are trying to import, then use the this forumula: width x height x 1024 x 1024.
Click OK.
Exit the registry.
Start the Organizer. If you had previously imported images that were over the limit, then delete them from the catalog and re-import them to display the thumbnail.
Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom,
I'm having the sampe problem. Did you ever resolve this issue?

Upload file without asking user for the file

Hi,
I need to upload a file to server, but from my code, not using the file upload from page.
I have created a xml file and I need to upload to server when user open a web browser (without asking user to select a file).
How do I proceed??, or what kind of libraries do I must use?
thanks

Hi,
thanks for answer.
Let me try to explain again (I think its very simple).Simple, yes. But not very thorough.
I have developed a web application using JSF.So all the code is running on the server, right? There are no Applets, Applications or WebStart applications involved. Right?
My application has a splash screen where I show data. I have developed a bean to connect to my database (sql server), extract this data and create an xml (using DOM) file like:
<news>
<simplenews id="1"> Value </simplenews>
</news>And that bean runs ... where? Server again?
(important step) Once I have created the xml file in my bean I want to upload to the server to a place like /WEB-INF/news.
If the code is running on the server, then "uploading" is the wrong term, as there's nowhere to upload to, since you're already on the server.
This may sound like nit-picking, but you're sending us on a wrong trail with this phrase.
Once the file is on the server with another bean I read the xml fileWhy don't you simply store it in the application scope and let everyone access it from there? It doesn't sound as if the XML is huge.
As you can see I haven't a web page where to show an upload file componetYou also don't want to "upload" anything from the client, from the sound of it.
You simply want to transfer data between to server-side components, if I understood you correctly.

Open file without asking

I've set pdf files to open with my default application (without asking).
Nerveless, FF keeps asking whether to save or open the file.
(The same happens with any file type, and also in safe mode and a new profile).
Any idea?
Thanks.

Try go to '''Tools''' >> '''Addons''' >> '''Plugins''' , try set the plugins to '''Always active''', then test again.
Also try check your plugins:

When you said that you already set the default application, are you talking in the application menu?

Photoshop Elements 10 RAW Files

How do I import RAW files from my Sony RX100 11 to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10? I think I need a plug in called ARF 8.2. If this is correct how do I purchase/install it?

Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop Elements use a free Adobe plugin called Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) to read Raw files from cameras. Different versions of ACR work with different versions of Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.
Since camera manufacturers all use their own proprietary Raw file formats for every model of camera they make, ACR must be updated for each new camera released on the market.
The Sony RX100 II was first supported in ACR 8.2
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Unfortunately ACR 8.2 is only compatible with Elements 12 and newer. It is not compatible with Elements 10 so downloading ACR 8.2 will not help you.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
Some options:
Upgrade to Elements 12 (paid upgrade) which can use the current ACR (version 8.4) and therefore will open RX100 II Raw files.
Download the free Adobe DNG Converter, convert all the Raw files from the RX100 II to DNGs then open the DNGs in Elements 10.
