Photoshop Elements 13 how to open an image as a layer?

Hello, I recently received as asked Photoshop Elements 13 for Christmas, and have been using Gimp for about a year now as a substitute. However, when I went to start a project, I couldnt figure out how to open an image as a layer. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Heres an example with 2 images. I want to get the image you see in this picture, and place it in the original image as a layer, not a separate project.

How do I get Photoshop elements 9 to open RAW images from my Canon g16?

How do I get elemente 9 to open RAW images from Canon G 16?

Hi,
You will need either use the Canon software to convert the CR2 files to TIF files or use the free Adobe DNG converter to convert the CR2 files to DNG files. Then import the TIF or DNG files into PSE 9.
You could update to PSE 12 to avoid the conversions.

Hi,
It seems this is a Microsoft related. You are referring on how to set JPG Image in Photoshop Elements by default. You may try visiting Microsoft's Support page http://support.microsoft.com/ for you to get the correct information/help you need.

Photoshop Elements Help | Processing camera raw image files

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/processing-camera-raw-image-files.html

When I selected "Save Image" there is an option to select the size of the JPEG preview. Is there anyway to extract the JPEG and does the JPEG contain the adjustments that were made to the Raw image?
The "Save image" command just saves (really converts) the original raw into another raw format : the DNG format created by Adobe to get a universal raw format instead of a specific raw format for each camera in the range of each camera manufacters... Using that feature is your choice.
And what you see in the bottom line : 8 bits or 16 bits has nothing to do with a preview, it is the choice of 'color depth' for the image the converters sends to the editor.
So, your choice is either :
- to click 'Done' which saves the settings of your conversion (white balance, exposure, clarity...) to a very small 'sidecar' file of the xmp type
- to 'Open' in the editor where you can work with all features of the editor (which include saving the output file in any format - jpeg - psd - tiff - png...

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
C: à Program Files à Adobe à Photoshop Elements 9
Within the Photoshop elements 9 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (with the blue icon)
Select that file and click Next.
Then click Finish.
You should now be able to launch by double clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen.

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 9\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.
Solution 5: Try with admin account or right click and select run as admin. or try directly from .exe

How to open Raw images (NRW) from Nikon Coolpix p7800 with Photoshop elements 12?

I am not able to view/edit my images directly form card reader into PhotoShop Elements 12. This is why I am looking at this software. Need help. Viewed Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras but do not see how to download the plug in?

From the page you linked to, you need ACR 8.3 to open P7800 raw files. You probably just need to update your Photoshop Elements using Help / Updates. If that doesn’t work, then at least check what version of ACR plug-in you have using Help / About Plug-in / Camera Raw in case your ACR is new enough and something else is wrong.

When I start Photoshop Elements within Aperture 3, my image is flattened. How can I correct this?

Just installed Aperture 3 last week.
1) I imported all my images from iPhoto.
2) I downloaded a plug-in for Aperture, "Burn to Disc" and it seems to work well.
When I start Photoshop Elements 9 within Aperture 3, my very large file is flattened and of course all layers are gone.
How can I open my PSD files in Aperture 3 complete with layers?
Read the Aperture Manual, checked the discussion groups and remain stumped. I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much for your reply. Using Photoshop and saving the files within Aperture was a major reason for getting this software. But Photoshop without layers is taking the heart out of the beast. Thanks again for your reply.

Photoshop Elements (4.0) - opening iPhoto photos

I'm using both iPhoto '08 (v 7.1.3) and Photoshop Elements 4.0. While in Elements, I do a file - open and browse to my Photos folder but the 'iPhoto Library' is grayed out.
How can I easily edit my photos that I've imported into iPhoto with Elements?

Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Photoshop Elements 10: Problem opening .csf

Hi,
I'm currently designing the cover for my highschool's yearbook and the company that's printing our books sent us an email with a .csf file telling me to do the following:
"Before starting on your cover, please make sure you have loaded the "Jostens.csf" file.
The attached file “Jostens.csf” is the colour management file that will need to be loaded into the programs you will be using to create the cover. Whether you’re working in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign or Illustrator, the procedure for activating these colour settings is the same.
From the Edit menu, select Colour Settings. Click the Load button and browse to the Jostens.csf file. Select it and click OK. Click OK in the Settings window and your cover file will now be set to print properly at the plant."
Now I tried doing what they told me to but when I go to Color Settings I cannot find a Load button.
I also tried to simply double click the file to load it onto Elements but I get this error message saying:
"Cannot Open 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Required\ColorSettings\Jostens 2015.csf' because it is the wrong type of file."
My question is, how do I load this .csf file into Elements 10?

It looks like a Problem in this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/4004903#4004903, only i have this problem with normla .jpg images. Is there a workaround?
