Photoshop elements 3 formating

How can I change a picture image that is square into a circular image?

Phillip, There are many ways to crop out a circle. Here is one: 1. Select the Elliptical Marque Tool. In the options bar set Style to Fixed Aspect Ratio and Width & Height both 1. 2. Draw out the circle (to draw from the center outward, hold down <Alt> while drawing). You can fine-tune the circular selection with the mouse or arrow keys. 3. Copy the selection to the clipboard (Edit>Copy, or <Ctrl>-C). 4. File>New from Clipboard. The new file will have the circular image on transparent background (checkerboard pattern). In step 1, rather than using Fixed Aspect Ratio you can use the Normal Style, but when you are drawing hold down <Shift> to get a perfect circle. If the picture is for an application that requires transparency (such as a web page), save the picture in a file type that supports transparency. File types that support transparency: PSD, TIFF, PNG, PNG-24, GIF, EPS. JPG, BMP do not.

Photoshop Elements 8-Change of file format when saving deletes filename

I have been using Photoshop Elements 8 since last May and have always been irritated that when I add text to a photo it always defaults to PSD format for saving. I have gone to the preference options to see if I can set jpg as the default and it does not offer that option. This means that every time I save after adding text I have to manually select jpg to get the format to change.
Although this has been a pain, I have done it thousands of times as I have edited photos.
My problem is that suddenly from one day to the next when I change from PSD option to jpg the filename disappears and I have to go back and manually type in the whole filename. The only changes to my computer settings that I can think of that might have affected this is that Microsoft Updates had 2 updates. First was Definition for Windows Defender-KB915597 and the other was Unpdate for Windows 7 for x64 based systems-KB97690.
I saw a similar problem posted by sandwitch2 on Feb. 13th about PSE6. 99jon suggested the change to permissions of adding "everyone". I tried this and it did not correct the problem.
Any other suggestions are welcome.
I have found Adobe's insistance on saving as PSD irritating to say the least in the past. The inability to change this in preferences has made me very unhappy, but the quality of their product has outweighed the hoops they make me jump through until this. Their search feature in support is pretty much worthless. It either brings up nothing if you keyword is to limiting or brings up 200 responses if it if too broad.
I have been a user of Photoshop Elements for over 6 years updating as new editions have come out. I am to the point that if I can't get this current problem fixed I am uninstalling Elements 8 and going to another software. Adobe's proprietary requirements and poor support page are just too much of a pain to deal with.

I was told that if I save in PSD if I send the photos to share with others only those with Photoshop Elements can open the files. That is why I try to use jpg. Is that true?
Thanks for all the help from both of you,
Bettye

my computer crashed, how do i download the digital format of adobe photoshop elements (I have the cd version, redemption code and serial #) to my new computer which does not have a cd drive

if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
and activate with your serial.
if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps. the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

Why wont Photoshop elements 12 save to DVD in MPEG2 format when I have Premiere Elements 12 package loaded onto pc also?

I purchased the Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 12 package at Best Buy. I created a slideshow within the Photoshop Elements Package. When finished, I tried to save it using the instructions noted within the Help section of the Photoshop Elements 12 application. The slideshow was saved outside of Adobe Premiere Elements. When I tried to playback the DVD to which the slideshow was burned, it wouldn't play in my regular DVD player or a Blue Ray DVD Player. There is no instruction to import the slideshow into Premiere Elements prior to saving it to a DVD. The WMV format that Adobe uses will not allow the DVD to play anywhere other than my PC, or another P.C. The help section of the application states that the the file would automatically be converted into a MPEG2 format using the Photoshop application. Please explain what I'm missing!!! Desperate for help, as I have a family reunion this weekend, The DVD has 450 photos on it and the DVD was part of a gift package for the family. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I am using Photoshop Elements 11. Do all .jpg formatted file have to be retangular in shape? I want to create an oval .jpg picture to insert into a book. Haven't been able to do so. It would work if I could make the area outside the oval completely transparent. Can anyone help me here?

JPG does not support transparency, so even if you create an oval with transparent background, the saved JPG will have white background. Instead, save it as a PNG, TIFF, or GIF which preserve the transparency.
Here is one of many ways to create your oval:
Create a new file the approximate size of the oval. Add the oval with the Custom Shape Ellipse tool, and simplify the shape layer.
In the Layers Palette, Ctrl-click the oval to select it and copy the selection to the clipboard (Edit > Copy).
Then do File > New from Clipboard. This creates the oval with transparent background cropped to the oval size.
Then save it as one of the file types that support transparency (and also supported by the application where you are sending the picture to).
Note: Is is not even necessary to do step 2. That is only if some reason you want the oval to be tightly cropped. It is sufficient to delete the Background layer in step 1 (or turn off its visibility) and save the file. The oval will appear correctly in the book with either version.

Why does photoshop elements 10 back up files in xml format

I am trying to backup my catalog including tags to my external hard drive. When I do the files are all in XML format. When I attempt to open using Photoshop
i get "wrong type of file" or they are just a lot of code. What is going on. Where are the pictures?

I downloaded them into the same folder, and once that was done, I did as you said and opened PhotoshopElements_10_LS15.exe. It asked for my serial number and everything, seemed as though it was installing, and asked to restart in order to complete the process. I restarted the computer, and...I don't see Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 anywhere. There is a folder on my desktop that goes by the name of Photoshop Elements 10, but it only contains data files and things that I can't use. It's not the actual software....
What should I do?

Please do not duplicate thread. It gets confusing for you as well as for those trying to respond to your question.
I have replied to your question in your other thread.

A moderator will probably delete or close one of the duplicates as soon as seen.
Just a note...Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 are standalone products. Each comes with the

Can't open raw format files in photoshop elements 3.0

I'm sure this question has been posed here 1,000 times already, and I've just spent over an hour surfing the web, using adobe on-line support, etc. -- too much to sift through, and none of it giving me a simple answer.
So here's the question:
- Using Windows XP
- I have a Nikon D40
- Photoshop Elements 3.0
- 2.3 Camera Raw Plug In
From what I am able to gather, I SHOULD be able to open raw format files using PE 3.0, but I get the various error messages:
"Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".
"Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file".
Am I missing some sort of simple step before I start downloading plug-ins I don't need and messing up all the settings on my computer? Any help would be appreciated, and once again, apologies if I'm repeating a question that's been asked a million times before.

Support for the Nikon D40 was added in Camera Raw version 3.7. So you would need Photoshop Elements 4.0 or later to be able to use that.
To use your version you may need to download the free DNG converter from http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/ and convert your D40 files from NEF to DNG.

Photoshop Elements 7 - format changes to temp file when saved

When I open a file in the edit screen (quick edit) and then edit the file -- when I close it (and agree to replace the current image), it closes as a temp file and I lose the jpg file? It does state that the image "Could not save as ..... because the file is already in use or was left open." Then I close it and the jpg is gone. Is there some setting I have to change? I just want to make changes and then save as the same file so I only have the new, edited image? I know I have done this before.
I am using Vista and Photoshop elements 7. I had elements 4 before and this never happened. In fact, I used my elements 7 before and it never happened.
Thanks for any help.

Please explain more as if your new file is not created properly or it is not recognized as a supported file format. In later case you will see some unsupported file format icon when you save the file and check its file icon.
Also when you save the file, a jpeg settings dialog box comes up. Make sure you select appropriate settings.
If you find that its just the unsupported file, then try opening the file with File->open As and choose jpeg and see if its opening.
Also try open with after right click the image icon and browse and choose PSE as a default app for opening a file.

(Input and) output formats from Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac

I noticed that (until midnight PT, anyway) Amazon has Photoshop Elements for the Mac at a lower price than usual. This brings up a question for me: What output formats can Photoshop Elements 6 produce? In particular, can it produce PNG? Also, can it accept PNG as input?

I think that all the formats like .bmp, camera RAW, EPS,PICT, TIFF, Filmstripn, IFF, JPEG, Photoshop pdf, Photoshop RAW,PNG etc are supported for both input and output.

Welcome to the forum.
I wonder, however, if you meant to post to the Photoshop Elements Forum, and not to the Premiere Elements (Video editing program) Forum?
If you want PSE, then see the above link.
To Save_As uncompressed, you might want to look at PNG for the format.
Good luck,

Photoshop Elements 11 - Video format not supported when importing files

I'm trying to make a gif using Photoshop Elements 11, but I can't seem to be able to find a video format to import that's supported. I go to File > Import > Frame from Video... then choose Browse and select the video I want, but it always tells me that video format is not supported - I've tried AVI, MPEG, MP4 and some others, and none seem to work. Any idea why?

Do you have Premiere Elements 11 as well as Photoshop Elements 11?
How are you importing your video into Premiere Elements 11 (assumed Windows)? Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets? Or are you moving it from the Elements Organizer into the Premiere Elements 11 Expert workspace? Does the video play back OK on any of your computer players (Premiere Elements not involved)?
Bottom line may very well be a problem with the availability of the MotionJPEG video codec to Premiere Elements.
The 3 remedies that one frequently sees:
a. file conversion
b. download, install of MotionJPEG codec
c. grabbing appropriate codec from a camera utility if the camera has such a utility.
Please review and let us know if you have any further questions.
Thanks.
