Photoshop Elements 2 won't save pictures

I have Photoshop Elements 2 - Yes, a very old version that has worked great until I downloaded AVG PC TuneUp 2014.  I'm wondering if this is just a coincidence or the AVG program has somehow disabled something.  AVG says NOT!  What do you say? 

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
Do you get any error message when you try to save?

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor

  • Abobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 resizing pictures?

    Abobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 resizing pictures?
    I just rencently got Photoshop Elements 5.0 and I have Windows XP service pack 2 and I read the help and did some things. I need to make some pictures smaller or bigger so the people I want in my banner look aroung the same size. When I try to resize the image it resiazes everything or I use the square tool and try to resize it my self but the pictures becomes out of shape. Also if I dont need all of my canvas that I created when I try to crop it t makes the pictures cut off. IS there a way to just get rid of the bottom od the canvas that I didn't do anything with? Here is a banner I made using photoshop and see the girls head is bigger cause I don't know how to resize it. http://i12.tinypic.com/2mcy245.jpg... I went to paint to cut off the extra canvas that was in the picture. I had used The Gimp before I used photoshop and with Gimp I knew how to resize pictures to place on another picture.
    Additional Details
    the crt + t makes my picture look bad. I guess I have to reseize myt pictures in gimp to make anything then.

    while in the Transform tool, tick ON the "Constrain Proportions" tickbox at the top. then when you move a handle, the image will resize poprtionaltely instead of distorting.

    Photoshop Elements won't open. I have tried re-installing. I have windows pro 7

     
    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.

  • Photoshop Elements won't access my HP printer

    When I click on Print, my HP Fax software is opened even though the printer is selected.  I reinstalled my printer software and still no luck.   The printer software is the default.   I see that others have had this problem but I haven't seen any suggested solutions for this.

    Thanks, that did the trick.

    This solution has been mentioned several times: The names of the printer and fax are too long.  In Windows, open the properties of each device and rename them to something like "HP Printer" and "HP Fax". Ken

  • Photoshop Elements won't create a file, edit a file or save a file...

    Hello all,
    I just bought an Epson 600 scanner which came with a copy of Photoshop Elements (v7, but that's another question for another day).  Was working fine for awhile (a few weeks) but now I'm unable to edit any files.  This is on an Intel Mac Pro running Windows 7 (natively, not in VMWare) with 8 cores and 8 GB of RAM and terabytes of free disk space.
    Here's a sample sequence of events:
    1) Launch PE
         - Get selection screen for organize, Edit, Create, Share.
    2) Select Edit
         - Launches editing workspace normally
    3) Click File->Open
         - Get the file browser window with thumbnails (standard windows stuff)
    4) Click a TIF file (or a JPG file) and click Open
         - File browser window closes and I'm taken back to the editing view but there's no picture.  No sign that it did anything (all the menus that are greyed out when the editing screen is empty are still grey etc - including the File Save menu option)
    5) Try to drag a file into the editing workbench from windows explorer (either a TIF file or a JPG)
         - Same behavior - switches back to the workbench, but everything is still greyed out and the file isn't there.
    6) Try to create a new file
    7) Click File->New
         - New file dialog pops up asking me to name and size it
    8) Give it a random name and leave it at the default 6x4x300dpi and click OK
         - New file dialog goes away and returns me to the editing canvas, but it's still blank and all the menus remain greyed out
    I get the exact same behavior if I try "Open As" or "Open recently edited files" etc
    I AM running Symantec anti-virus and I've noticed some people mentioning that that can cause issues for Adobe, but turning it off really isn't an option.  So if there's some rule I need to set up to allow some background process to talk, that's fine but I can't just disable it to use PE.
    Is there any debugging log kept somewhere?  (I suppose I could check this site more thoroughly for that info)
    Any help or suggestions would be most welcome!
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Try resetting the PSE preferences by
       1. Close Elements.
       2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
       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.
    try and let me know your comments.

  • Help needed with Photoshop Elements - Insufficient privileges & save

    When using Photoshop Element PSE 6 or 8 (both are loaded on my intel iMAC 24 with 4GB RAM, OS SL 10.6.3)I can open the programme without problem and use all the features. Having editted a file when I click Save/Save as I get an error message that says 'Insuffient privileges' and can not save the work I have done.
    Anyone experienced this before and found a solution?
    Thanks

    It's not entirely clear what you mean by that. If you have that "Pictures" folder open and you hold down a command key while you click on the icon just left of the "Pictures" name in the title bar, you'll see a list of the folder hierarchy. I'll guess you'll see this list:
    - Pictures
    - <yourusername>
    - Users
    - <yourmacdisk>
    - <yourcomputer>
    Is that what you see?
    With that particular file you're editing selected in the Finder, pull down the Finder menu option File -> Get Info. In the resulting window what do you see in the "Sharing & Permissions" section? (Expand that section by clicking on the disclosure triangle if necessary.) Does it say "You can read and write"?
    In a Finder window click on the sidebar item with your your user name. In the resulting window repeat the "Get Info" process above after selecting the "Pictures" folder. Do you now see "You can read and write" again?
    Can you drag a file (perhaps from your computer's Desktop) into the "Pictures" folder? Can you select a file in that folder and invoke the Finder menu item File -> Duplicate?

  • Photoshop Elements won't open

    I've been using this computer in my workshop for simple things, mostly email, fb, etc. It has had Photoshop CS (very old, not sure what version) and Photoshop Elements 2.0 on it and both have been working fine. Just brought it into the house to use in the office after my slightly newer, but still old, iMac G5 died. I'm hoping to use it for a short time while figuring out what to do next regarding a newer computer. I've gotten it connected to printer and scanner with a bit of trouble due to trying to find old drivers again. That's really all I'm aware of having changed. Now suddenly PE and P CS won't open. I reinstalled PE (which is what I use most); no change. It starts to open, then just quits. I've clicked on "report" and see the following:
    Date/Time:      2012-04-11 00:02:41.529 -0400
    OS Version:     10.4.11 (Build 8S165)

    Of course there's lots more but that's the part with the bad words like "bad access" and "invalid address" and such. I'm hoping someone can tell me what is going on; perhaps you know what the above means? Or maybe there is some other clue here? I'd be grateful. Thanks for reading.

    PS Just to be clear, no major changes in software; I have been running both Photoshop programs on this computer, with OS 10.4.11, since getting the computer as a hand-me-down a couple of months ago. I did update OS, Safari, and a few other things at that time, as well as maxing the memory, deleting many programs and files I'll never use, etc. Installed PE 2.0 at that time. CS was already on it. Both have worked just fine. When I reinstalled PE the installer said it had installed properly.

    Well, just in case someone else checks in here with the same problem. Got both programs working just fine again. I hunted up other threads on the same topic; several had posts suggesting trashing certain plug-ins and/or prefs. I'd tell you exactly what but I did a bunch and not sure which solved it. With Photoshop CS 8.0, I deleted plist in user library; no change; then deleted twain plug-in, now it opens just fine. I don't exactly comprehend why, but so far so good. If I have any other useful observations I will post them.

    PS I ordered a PRAM battery and will replace that anyway, just because I'm certain it is quite old; perhaps this will prevent other problems popping up. I need to get a bit more use out of this nice old machine!

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 and 'Save for Web' problem

    Hi everyone,
    I have used Photoshop Elements 2 for some time with absolutely no problems. However when I try to use the save for the web option I get an 'export could not be completed due to a program error' message.
    Nothing relevant is mentioned on Adobe's support site. After having gone through the usual 9 troubleshooting procedure I suspect that there is a problem with the 'Save for Web EL' plugin located in the PE 2 plugins folder. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way I can somehow find a functional plugin?
    Thank you for reading this post.

    I don't use Photoshop elements myself, but from Photoshop CS it works fine. I use JPG compression and optimization. First of all - make sure the file format extensions are all available. Applications/adobe/photoshop elements/file formats AND ALSO Applications/adobe/photoshop elements/photoshop elements only/file formats (here I am assuming the paths are the same or similar to Photoshop). Also, check the extensions disabled folder (Control click on Photoshop and go to package contents). If it's none of these, I suggest you check the settings in Elements when trying to save and make sure you are not using an option that conflicts.
    Also, check the Adobe forum. http://www.adobeforums.com
    Check for software upgrades also.
    You do have enough hard drive space and RAM I assume. If you are using PS Elements and virtual memory is on, you may not have enough phsyical space to save the file (but not likely)
    P.S. I see (after i wrote) that you are running 9.2.2 - so the paths will not be the same as if it was on OS X - but they will be similar.

  • Photoshop Elements won't install on Windows 8

    First & foremost, I'm incredibly irritated that my Photoshop Elements 6 won't install on my new Windows 8 laptop. (I did the right thing: uninstalled from the old laptop before wiping the drive to get it ready for resale.)  And now, instead of getting true & real support from Adobe, I'm directed to a user Forum.  BS!  Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE consumer support!!!!  I will NEVER AGAIN purchase an Adobe product.  Of course, this is no slam against other Adobe users on the Forum - it's just that Adobe needs to take a stronger ownership  of its problems - they should NOT let all of us swirl around and find answers to their problems. 

    Photoshop Elements 6 is ancient software. It may or may not run under Windows 8. I am sure you could have paid for customer technical support for your issue, but it might be that you still would have been told that it was not compatible or that it was a untested combination. Adobe stops giving installation support on older versions after the new version comes out. If you post in the Photoshop Elements forum you may find other users that have or have not been able to install Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows 8. You were actually given great support to visit the forums, since our collection of users have much more experience than many people that work in Adobe Technical Support.

  • I have a used iMac, HD wiped, OS 10.6.8 freshly installed w/Rosetta, Photoshop Elements won't start saying "could not complete because of missing or invalid personalization info." previous owner's name still there preventing initialing?

    I have a used iMac, HD wiped clean, OS 10.6.8 freshly installed w/Rosetta, Photoshop Elements was installed but won't start saying "could not complete because of missing or invalid personalization info." is previous owner's name somehow still there preventing initialing?  How do I remove and install my own?  I don't understand as HD was completely wiped with no OS when I got it.

    I think Adobe allows their software to be installed on 2 computers only. However, if say you buy another computer and wish to install PSE on the new computer ( effectively a 3rd computer as far as Adobe is concerned ) PSE needs to be properly uninstalled ie not simply by uninstalling using the operating system's uninstall process. It needs to be uninstalled using the Adobe uninstall process that is contained within the software.
    You should then be given a prompt as to whether you will be reinstalling on the same computer or if you wish to remove altogether. If the latter, then all traces are removed and the software can be (re) installed on the new computer.
    If, unknown to yourself, the software had been installed on 2 computers and although you or the previous may have wiped the hard drive clean, as far as Adobe is concerned the software is still ' registered / assigned ' to 2 computers.
    If the previous owner bought a new computer and installed their PSE on it, wiped the hard drive clean without properly uninstalling/removing PSE thentherein probably lies the prblem.
    As Allan Jones said, it 's probably worth your while to purchase your own copy.
    Hope this helps.

  • Photoshop Elements won't start, closes, says no serial #

    I had to get a new computer, mother board died. Old hard drive installed as d drive and all programs work fine except Photoshop Elements.
    looks like it will start, asks me to agree to user agreement, I click agree and it says I did not and will shut down and also says my name and serial # can't be found or aren't valid or something and shuts down.
    Chat won't help me but when I searched for help this topic is touched on and clearly states you can not fix yourself.
    I am really stuck. I hope someone here can help me.

Organizer launched without any problems but the photoeditor does not start. Log-Files are okay, no errors while install-progress. I did everything, reinstalling, using ccleaner and i tried to delete manuelly everything with "photshop elements" in the regestry (with new installation after that....).
