Photoshop Elements 4 - Changing  Colour Resolution to 8 bits unnecessarily

January 2010. Having just bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 for Windows XP, I am experiencing major problems when launching the program - it changes the colour resolution from 32 bit to 8 bit. This messes up all the colours and the desktop goes black then blue/green and the whole screen is wrong. No way can I resolve this problem - have tried re-installing, etc. etc..
What is wrong ??

On a 16-bit or 24-bit monitor, they will look photographic.
They have been saved at 'Medium' compression and are slightly smaller in file size than the following GIFs.
JPEG is the correct format to use for such photographic images as they will look better and have a smaller file size. The only reasons to use GIFs for such images are if you need transparency (for irregular shapes) or if they are animated.
This set of images has been saved as GIFs using the '6x6x6' Web-safe palette. If you are using 8-bit GIFs and map them all to this palette, there will be no surprises on Mac or PC screens running in 8-bit mode. buy r4i

  • I am using windows vista on a pc.  how do i use photoshop elements to increase resolution to 1920 on longest side without getting distortion

    using windows vista how to use photoshop elements to increase resolution to 1920 on the longest side without distortion?

    When I have the photo onscreen, the only options presented to me under File are Delete, Rename, Make copy, Copy and Properties.  It does not give Save as an option.  Not sure how to save for web.  When I go to Properties, it will not let me change the values at all.  I have tried free downloads for image resizing, but so far I have only found where they would allow me to enter lower pixel values, but not increase them.  For example, one image is now 960 pi/in X 640 pi/in.  I need to double the 960 to be 1920, and so I assume I need to also double the 640 to 1280.  But I have not found how to do that.  I am very inexperienced in any type of photoshopping, so I'm not terribly surprised to be running into problems, or even understanding what the problems are that I'm having.  Any other advice?

    Ich habe eine Online-Version von Photoshop Elements 13 unter Win 7 32 Bit installiert und bekomme regelmäßig die Fehlermeldung, dass der Applications Manager nicht installiert oder beschädigt ist. Ein nachträglicher Installationsversuch bricht regelmäßig ab. Auch eine Deinstallation und Neuinstallation von Photoshop Element 13 brachte kein positives Ergebnis.
    Was kann ich noch versuchen?

    Bei mir in der Firma ging's bis jetzt problemlos, CS5 Projekte mit CS6 zu bearbeiten.
    Zum Windows7 Kompatibilitätsproblem kann ich Dir leider nicht helfen.
    Wie es sich mit 3rd Party Plugins verhält, hab ich noch nicht getestet.
    Aber die Installation von CS6 lohnt sich in jedem Fall.
    Zur Sicherheit kannst Du ja erstmal die 5er zusätzlich installiert lassen.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 with Windows 8 64 bits

    I have seen that Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 are compatible with Windows 8.1; is that correct also for Windows 8.4 64 bits or only for the 32 bits version? Thank you. MM

    PSE11 will run as a 32-bit application in W8.1-64, PRE11 will run as a 64-bit application.
    Cheers,

  • Photoshop Elements 7 on Win Vista 64 bit

    Ihave an Acer Aspire M5642 PC, Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Just bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. Will it run OK on this Vista 64 system? What do I do to get Photoshop working on this machine?
    Marty

    Marty,
    As a matter of fact, yes, I just the other day installed PSE2 on my new
    Vista 64 bit machine and it installed without any complaints and now works
    like a charm. I had seen several posts where folks reported assorted
    problems doing so, but none here. It may be a matter of memory? I have 6
    GB and a quad core processor.

  • Is Photoshop Elements 10 available as Native 64 Bit?

    I messed up the install on a Windows 7 machine of Photoshop Elements 10 by inserting Disk 1 and running through the install.  When I realized my mistake, I uninstalled from the control panel, inserted Disk 2 and reinstalled.  But I see that the install went into the "Program Files X86" directory, which is where 32 bit applications go.  Is there a 64 bit Photoshop Elements 10?  I installed Premiere Elements 10 next and it went into the native 64 bit directory "Program Files".
    IF there is a 64 bit Photoshop Elements, could someone tell me how to install it?
    Thanks,
    David

    Probably not. The tech specs do not list any 64bit support...

  • How to avoid photoshop from changing colours of photos automatically?

    Photoshop automatically change the colour of my photos when dragged and dropped for contouring. How to avoid this?

    PS doesn't change any colors. You need to read up on color management and calibrate your system.

  • Photoshop CS3 Changes Image Resolution

    Hello!
    Recently, Photoshop CS3 (installed on PC with Windows XP) has been changing the resolution of my images.  I'll create an image and save it (as anything... jpg or png). When I close and reopen the image, its values have changes.  For example:  a 10 x 5" images at a resoltion of 300 will somehow change to 100 x 50 at a low resolution of something like 6.  I'd like to know what causes this.

    Chris, if what you claim were true, then I wouldn't have an issue.  In fact, what I described in my initial post happens.
    I create a new image (we all follow the same process [Fle > New... select width, height, inches or pixels, resolution]) at a resolution of 300 for a 10x5” image.  Regardless of what I save the image as (jpg, png, etc.), if I close and reopen the image, the values have changed  The width always goes to 100" (I work in inches) and the resolution drops to 6, at the lowest that I’ve seen, up to 49.  Could a virus cause this? 

  • Photoshop Elements 5 in Windows 7 64 bit fails to load

    If I click on the icon things happen (the spinning disk appears) then nothing opens up (and task manager seems ignorant of my actions). If however I click on a photograph and right click to select open with Photoshop everything works fine.Photoshop

    Try going to
    C:\Program Files x86\Adobe\ Photoshop Elements 5
    then double click on the
    PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and see if pse 5 starts.
    If it does, then create a desktop shortcut to that and use it instead of the shortcut created when installing pse 5.

  • Why does part of my Photoshop 3D element change colour in AE when rendering ?

    The image on the left is in the pre comp, the one on the right is a screen shot during render. The video comes out like that too.

    Hi. It's a decent res file, it just doesnt look so good here as it is a screengrab. Using CS5 in Windows. The PS Repousse looks fine, the holes are set correctly for the letters that have them, here is a screengrab of it.
    To explain the comp, it's been brought in as a PS 3D layer, the controller has then just been rotated once to 360deg over time.
    Here is a video of it at Video Copilot FB:

  • Photoshop CC: Changing colour - "Could not complete your request because of a program error"

    Hi,
    Started a while back but lived with it but now its beyond anoyying.
    Happens if I do anything that changes the colour (ie colour picker, exchanging colours - anything).
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Presuming the standard Adobe solution would be suggested - ie un\re-install it I've done that with no luck, I'm now trying it again but this time letting it trash my preferences.
    This is seriously damaging my download limits - I wish they had good and usable support!
    BTW - Its installed on the Windows 8 platform.

    Are you installing PSE or PSE +PRE? If PSE only, you're using the right disc.
