Photoshop elements 4 ease of use versus elements 3

I know this isn't strictly iphoto, but I have upgraded to elements 4 from 3 recently, and I find it really a pain to have to go via bridge, or to open individual photos to edit.
with elements 3 it opened up all photos on the browser and allowed easy working between them all, and you could see them full size.
the adobe site and manual tell you nothing about this, and I've tried sending them a question but got no help at all.
I'm hoping someone has thought of a solution.
Does any one know of a way to use elements 4 in the same way, by getting rid of bridge and adding back in the normal folder access from 3.
I have tried deleting bridge, but i doesn't give me back the old look?
Anyone got any experience of this, many thanks,

I liked the File Browser, too. Otherwise, I do prefer PSE 4 once the files are open.
Ledders, If you are using iPhoto in conjunction with PSE 4, you can select multiple photos in iPhoto to open in PSE 4. You can tell iPhoto to use PSE 4 as the editor, so that double-clicking opens the photos in PSE 4. Select photos by command-clicking, then double-click on one of the selected photos, and PSE 4 will launch and open the selected photos. Or right-click on your selected photos and choose Open in... PSE 4 from the menu. In essence, you don't need to use Bridge if you open through iPhoto.
Barbara, I know you literally wrote the book on PSE, so I would very much appreciate your input here: When I use either of the above processes, no matter how many photos I select in iPhoto, PSE 4 will only open 3 or 4 of them. It doesn't matter if my photo bin is empty or not when I do it. Is this a known limit of the applications, is iPhoto or PSE 4 causing the limit, or is something strange happening to me?

Lightroom versus Elements

I am considering changing to Adobe for handling and editing my photographs. My impression is that Lightroom is a more sophisticated product than Elements. What are the feature differences between Lightrooom and Elements? Why Lightroom versus Elements? Do you have both and if so, why?

I own both Photoshop Elements and Photoshop (the original editor). I find the elements editor to be too cumbersome to use and would just like to edit using Photoshop. When I try to install Photoshop as a secondary editor in elements I get an error message that I don't need to this because it is already supported on the edit menu and task bar. I can not find any way to send images to Photoshop for editing - all I can do is send them to elements editor or the premier editor. Can someone tell me how to send them to Photoshop? Thanks!

Hi,
The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.

I just installed Photoshop and want to use it as the external editor. I also have PS Elements on the computer and the only external editor I can get iPhoto to recognize is PSE. Any help in changing the external editor to PS would be appreciated!

Welcome. I am using Photoshop CS5 and this works fine for me. Possibly Adobe has changed this in CS6. Hopefully, LarryHN will have further suggestions. Best.

Can I buy Photoshop Elements 13 and use it on my home computer and my Surface Pro 3?
Also why is there no customer service phone number associated with Adobe Photoshop? It makes me hesitant to purchase from a company that refuses to offer support. I guess I'm asking a question on a forum and the company directed me to.??

Yes, you're permitted to activate the software on a maximum of two computers at the same time.

Can Photoshop Elements ll be used to form panoranic merges of raw images?

I am learning to use Photoshop Elements with my recently downloaded Elements 13. I am disappointed that there is no longer a golden section grid option. Does anyone know if there is a way I can get this? Is there an upgrade to a more advanced photoshop or a plug in that has it as an option?

You might have a look at the affordable Elements+ add-on.
It has a script to enable guides with the golden ratio.

Feedback Wanted on Windows 7 versus Elements 9 Organizer

I am a Windows 7 user. Does anybody have feedback on the merits of using Windows 7 versus Elements 9 Organizer for managing a sane filing system so there aren't duplicates OR deleted photos? So far, I would agree with the previous thread that mentioned the ease of use with CS5's Bridge system compared to Organizer. Do you use the People/Place/Events templates set up in Organizer or forget about it?

Firstly, the major difference between Bridge and Organizer is that Bridge is a file browser, like Windows Explorer. Organizer is a file cataloguer, meaning that it stores its own information (tags, albums, etc.) in its own database.
I occassionaly use Bridge as sort of an "enhanced" Windows Explorer when I want to see thumbnails of PSD files and other file formats that don't display as thumbnails in Explorer. Bridge pretty much follows the folder structure that you've established in Windows, so if you're happy with your file system organization you'll be happy with Bridge.
For my money, Organizer is much more powerful because the organization and display of its database information is independent of the file system structure. For example, photos stored in wildly separated file folders can be viewed next to each other in Organizer if those photos have a tag in common. Tagging all your photos in Organizer and optionally also putting them in "albums" is a lot of work up front, but once done, really releases the power of Organizer.
That's somewhat of a subtle point, and often overlooked by users of all different sorts of database programs, such as recipe managers. The bottom line is that if you're using a database program, it's completely irrelevant where your data (photos or recipes) are stored or how their filing system storage is structured. The critical thing is to tag 'em correctly in a way that makes sense to you. Tags are very cheap in terms of storage space, so the more tags the better -- then you can slice and dice your data in so many versatile ways.
Another impressive feature of the Organizer database comes into play if you've catalogued photos on removable media, such as CDROMS or external hard drives. You can still work with the small images in Organizer even when your external media isn't attached.

I am using Lightroom 5 and am hapy about it, but recently I hav encountered a problem when trying to edit an image in another program, i.e. Elements. I used the clone tool, saved the result and went back to Lightroom to open the image there. I did find a second copy, but this is identic with the one I already had in Lightroom, and I can see noe result of the clone process.

At the moment I would say it is uncertain whether Acrobat is completely ignoring the change, or whether the changes you are making aren't affecting the ink density. I have a suggestion for a test you could make to see which is the case.
When editing in Photoshop just add a box or mark on the image, for your tests.
- If this box does not appear in Acrobat, you know Acrobat is not seeing the edit
- If this box does appear in Acrobat, you know the problem is that your tool for changing ink densities is not taking effect.

Want to use Premiere Elements 4 or newer with Windows Vista 64 bit??

We bought a new pc with Windows Vista 64 bit - but are now having problems using my Photoshop Elements6 and Premiere Elements 4 with our new pc. it says on the box and on the web - that it is compatible with Vista - so why isn't it working for us? Do i need to buy something else - and if so what?

I am not sure completely about Photoshop Elements - but my main issue is with Premiere Elements....i need to find a program that will work so i can work with all my videos. Trying to find out why it doesn't work or how to get it to work.

How do I update Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and Adobe Premiere Elements 9 on a new computer?

I have previously used both Adobe Photoshop elements 9 and Adobe Premiere elements 9 on my old computer with Windows XP operating system without problems. Now I have a new computer with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit operating system. I have installed both programs but when I try to update them I get a message saying "The update server is not responding. The server might be offline temporarily or the internet or firewall setting may be incorrect. Please try again later." I have tried numerous times with the same result. I have tried uninstalling both programs and re-installing but still get the same message. What do I have to do to be able to update these programs so I can get on and use them? The information with the programs says they both work on both Windows XP and 7.

Performance problems when using Premiere Elements for photo slideshows

Hello,
I had been using Premiere Elements 9 (PE9) to make a simple slideshow for my parents from their vacation trip and I ran into some serious performance problems. I had used it to create similar projects before, but not nearly as big. This one is like 260 photos, so basically it is 260 seperate clips. I have a POWERHOUSE workstation (see below) so it isn't my PC. Even when PE9 crashes, looking at my performance monitor my CPU and RAM aren't even halfway being utilized. I finally switched to Windows Movie Maker of all things and it worked seemlessly, amazing really. I'm wondering if I was just using PE9 for something other than what it was designed for since there weren't really any video clips, just a ton of photos that I made into video clips, if that makes sense. Based upon my experience with this so far, I can't imagine using PE9 anymore for anything really. I might have the need for a more professional video editing program in the near future, although it does seem like PE has a lot of features. How can I make sure it utilizes my workstation to its full potential? Here are my specs:
PC
Intel Core i7-2600K 4.6 GHz Overclocked
ASUS P8P67 Deluxe Motherboard
AMD Firepro V8800 Video Card
Crucial 128 GB SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Drive (Operating System)

Yes, this system is blazingly fast. I have yet to feel it slow down, even with Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, Illustrator and numerous other apps running at the same time. HOWEVER, Premiere Elements 9 has crashed NUMERUOS times, every time my system wasn't even close to being fully taxed.

Andy,
There ARE some differences between PrE and PrPro w/ an approved CUDA-capable and MPE hardware acceleration-enabled nVidia video card, but those differences show up ONLY in the quality of the Scaling. The processing overhead is almost exactly the same, when it comes to handling the extra pixels.
As of PrPro CS 5, two things changed:
The max. size of Still Images went up from 4096 x 4096 pixels, to quite a bit larger (cannot recall the numbers now).
The Scaling algorithms have been improved, though ONLY with the correct nVidia cards, with MPE hardware support enabled.
Now, there CAN be another consideration, between the two programs, in that PrPro CS 5 - CS 6, are 64-bit ONLY, so one benefits from the computer and OS to run it. PrE can be either 32-bit, or 64-bit, so one might, or might not, be taking advantage of the 64-bit program and OS. Still, the processing overhead will be almost identical, it's just that the 64-bit OS can spread it around a bit.
I still recommend Scaling the large Still Images in PS, prior to Import, to keep that processing overhead as low as is possible. Scaled Still Images work just fine, and I have one Project with 3000+ Scaled Still Images, that edits just fine in PrPro, even on my older 32-bit workstation. Testing that same machine, and PrPro some years ago, I could ONLY work with up to 5 - 4096 x 4096 Stills, before things ground to a crawl.
Now, Adobe AfterEffects handles large Still Images differently, so I just moved that test Project to AE, and added another 20 large Images, which edited just fine. IIRC, AE can handle Still Images up to 10K x 10K pixels, and that might have gone up, as of CS 5.
Good luck, and hope that helps,
Hunt
