Photoshop Elements 4 - Editing

I have had Photoshop Elements 4 for a number of years now, which I have used without problem. However today I am unable to access editing. It just comes up with "Attempt to access invalid address" and then it says "unable to connect to editor application". Not sure what to do, any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Is it possible to launch directly from the system files by double clicking the Editor.
Windows 32 bit - Program Files - PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
Windows 64 bit - Program Files (x86) - PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
Mac OS - Finder >> Applications >> Photoshop Elements Editor

PhotoShop Elements 9 Edit will not open.

After opening 2 or 3 images in Elements 9 edit a dialog box will come up and say "Elements is already running but is not responding close the Elements process or restart your system". I do not see where I can close the running Elements process. I have used Elements 9 for several months and have never run into this problem. Can anyone suggest a solution to my problem?

Thank you for the response. My Elements 9 Editor problem seemed to fix its
self. After restarting the computer the Editor would open for 2 or 3 images
then refuse to open again. After the fifth restarting of the computer the
Editor has continued to work and now seems fine. Not sure what caused the
problem in the first place. I will use the advise given below if the problem
starts again.

Photoshop Elements 10 Edit Screen won't load

Photoshop Elements 10 Edit Screen won't load. It was working fine, then I responded to an Adobe Update. It stopped working. I re-installed Photoshop Elements 10 for MAC from the purchased Disc. The organizer works but not the editor. The organizer is not able to call the Editor either. I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice. I cannot get the editor to load it's editing screen or any images.
I'm really stuck.

Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 settings
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 paths
repair permissions and try again.
Note: In lion, that library is hidden. In the finder, click the Go menu and then hold down the Option key to make it appear.

IPhoto won't show Photoshop Elements 6 editing.

When I drag a photo from iPhoto into Photoshop Elements 6 and edit then save it, the edits do not show in IPhoto. What am I doing wrong. Right now I'm doing a work-around of saving to desktop, importing and merging events but this is tedious. I thought Photoshop was supposed to be compatible with iPhoto. I am running iPhoto 8 with Photoshop Elements 6 on a PowerBook G4 and Leopard OS.

Although you've solved your problem there may be some info in this tip that will help:
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..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
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
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.

This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Photoshop Elements 7 Edit feature

A friend of mine has purchased Photoshop Elements 7 and is having trouble with it. The first menu opens and gives you the option to organize, edit, create, or share. Everything works except the Edit feature. When I click on the button it starts to load and then crashes. It doesn't provide me with any identifying error message so it's been difficult for me to search for solutions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TechNote
Photoshop Elements 7 Editor crashes at "Building TWAIN menu items" during startup (Windows)
Ratings:0
Issue
When you try to start the Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 Editor on Windows, the application closes when the splash screen displays "Building TWAIN menu items" and Windows may return one of these error messages:
"Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (Editor) has stopped working."
"Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (Editor) has encountered a problem and needs to close."
Reason
Photoshop Elements 7 includes support for a technology called TWAIN, which lets you control certain image-acquisition devices--including many scanners, the scanner portion of many all-in-one printers, and some webcams--directly from within Photoshop Elements.
During its startup process, the Photoshop Elements 7 Editor loads its TWAIN plug-in. This plug-in immediately begins communicating with the driver for each scanner or other TWAIN-compatible device that you have installed on your computer.
If the TWAIN plug-in cannot communicate with a device driver, then the Editor crashes.
Solution
Do Solution 1 first. Proceed to Solution 2 only if you wish to operate your device directly from within the Photoshop Elements Editor.
Solution 1: Disable the TWAIN plug-in.
The Photoshop Elements Editor does not load plug-ins whose file name begins with a tilde (~). Rename the TWAIN plug-in to prevent the Editor from loading it.
To disable the TWAIN plug-in:
Do one of the following:
If you are using a 32-bit edition of Windows, then navigate in Windows Explorer to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Locales\en_US\Plug-Ins\Import-Export\.
If you are using a 64-bit edition of Windows, then navigate in Windows Explorer to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Locales\en_US\Plug-Ins\Import-Export\.
Note: If you do not know which edition of Windows you are using, see "Determine whether your computer is running a 32-bit or a 64-bit edition of Windows" (TechNote kb407673).
Rename Twain_32.8BA to ~Twain_32.8BA. (You may not see the file name extension .8BA.)
When the TWAIN plug-in is disabled, you cannot operate your device by choosing File > Import > [Device name] in the Photoshop Elements Editor.
If you do not wish to operate your device directly from within the Editor, then you can use other software -- such as the software that came with the device, the Windows Scanner And Camera Wizard, or Windows Photo Gallery -- to operate the device and save image files from the device. (For instructions, see the documentation for the other software.) Then you can open those files in Photoshop Elements.
If you would like to operate your device directly from within the Editor, then proceed to Solution 2.
Solution 2: Troubleshoot installed drivers and re-enable the TWAIN plug-in.
If you use a scanner, all-in-one printer, or another TWAIN-compatible device on your system, then the device's driver may be out-of-date. Download the latest version of the driver for your device from the manufacturer's website. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to install the driver. (If you have more than one TWAIN-compatible device, then download and install the latest driver for each device.)
After you have installed the latest driver for each device, re-enable the TWAIN plug-in and restart the Photoshop Elements Editor.
To re-enable the TWAIN plug-in:
Do one of the following:
If you are using a 32-bit edition of Windows, then navigate in Windows Explorer to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Locales\en_US\Plug-Ins\Import-Export\.
If you are using a 64-bit edition of Windows, then navigate in Windows Explorer to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Locales\en_US\Plug-Ins\Import-Export\.
Note: If you do not know which edition of Windows you are using, see "Determine whether your computer is running a 32-bit or a 64-bit edition of Windows" (TechNote kb407673).
Rename ~Twain_32.8BA to Twain_32.8BA. (You may not see the file name extension .8BA.)
If the Editor successfully starts with the TWAIN plug-in enabled, then you can operate your device by choosing File > Import > [Device name].
If the Editor fails to start, then the driver for one or more TWAIN-compatible devices that you no longer have or no longer use may be causing the problem. (A driver will remain on the computer even after you disconnect a device.) Identify each device that you do not use, and then follow the manufacturer's instructions to completely remove each device's driver.
After you remove the driver for each device that you do not use, restart the Photoshop Elements Editor.
If the Editor still fails to start, then the driver for one or more of the devices that you currently use is incompatible with the Photoshop Elements TWAIN plug-in. In that case, disable the TWAIN plug-in (see Solution 1) and leave it disabled. (You may also wish to periodically check the device manufacturer's website for driver updates. If an updated driver becomes available, then repeat this solution.)

Using Photoshop Elements to edit raw. Doesn't recognize file type

I recently downloaded photoshop elements to use as my editor within Iphoto. I've set it up as the default editor in preferences, and made the appropriate change in the advanced settings within Iphoto so that it exports edits in RAW. When I attempt to edit by double clicking, Photoshop Elements gives me a msg that it can't open file because it does not recognize the file type. Does anyone know why this would be? I am using a Nikon D60. I haven't downloaded the Nikon software onto the computer (not sure if that has anything to do with it). Does photoshop elements need anything additional? Any help appreciated.
Thx
Richie

Richie:
As Terence mentioned we can help with using PSE within iPHoto but why PSE doesn't recognize the D60 files is an Adobe issue. I believe there are Adobe plugins available to handle RAW files. Check the Adobe site for those. For using PSE to edit jpgs within iPhoto this may be of some help:
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.

Compatibility of photoshop elements images edited in windows version and then transferred to mac version

I have a work pc (laptop) and a home desktop imac. What I want to know is, if I edit photos/video on my pc laptop in photoshop elements, can I transfer them to my desktop imac and include them in photoshop organizer without issue?

The only simple and practical sharing solution would be to store both your image library and your catalog on an external drive that you can plug in alternatively on both computers.

When editing on Photoshop Elements the edited photo returns to the beginning of my catalogue instead of above the original?

When editing a photo in Photoshop Elements 11 I save the edited picture and it returns to my album at the beginning instead of above the original

In the Save As window, do you have Save in Version Set with Original turned on?

Photoshop Elements 6 edit problem

When I try to import a picture from a file on my computer to edit, my Photoshop Elements 6 says windows has detected a problem...searching for a solution...never does so I am unable to use the full edit. How can I fix this?

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 6\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.

How do i get photos from iphoto library over to photoshop elements for editing?

how do i get photos from iphoto library over to photoshop elements 10 for editing?
this is an iMac that I just got so its all new to me...
thank you

If you set PSE as external editor, be sure you pick the right file, which is not by any means the logical choice. You want this one:
You can also export the photos from iphoto, edit them and save them under new names and reimport the edited photos as new files. This is more trouble, but lets you save as many different versions of your image as you like (iphoto only remembers the last edited version + original).

Organizer works. Edit also crashes (after program window appears) when attempting to start it from Organizer.

Photoshop Elements 12 editing screen frozen - program won't close

I have just recently installed photoshop elements 12 in a windows 7 laptop. I was just editing a photo and it froze. I can't x out or close the window or close the program. I tried escape... and numerous tries to close the program but it's frozen solid. I'm on hold with my tech support but they're all backed up.
thanks,
Pam

If you aren't getting any error messages than the only way is to re-install the package using an Administrator account or a user with Administrator privileges.
You have got the DVDs for the product and serial number, right? If not then first gather this necessary information before doing anything so that frustration doesn't build up when you come to it. Finding information can be a daunting task for some.

PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 3--EDITED IMAGES NOT VIEWABLE--WHY ???

Recently had computer "serviced" and within 24 hours I realised when I edited any images and saved them all I got was a jagged image of nothing.Computer service people told me it was nothing to do with service or Windows, to uninstall/reinstall Adobe photoshop 3.0 but despite trying everything no luck.All goes fine until I save the edited image .Any help much appreciated.

I have no idea what to do but I think you need to give more details for someone to help you.
What is a "jagged image of nothing?" You can upload a screenshot to pixentral.com and put a link to it in your post.
Are you talking about the thumbnail view in the Organizer photo well?
Can you view the images in other programs (windows picture viewer?)
What are you saving as: psd, jpg, tiff, etc?
Can you open the image in editor?
Are you windows xp or vista?
When things that used to work stop working two first steps to try are file>catalog>recover and deleting the preferences.

Editing In Photoshop Elements 4

Hi,
I am using Photoshop Elements to edit my photos from iPhoto 6. If I edit a photo, go back to view it in iPhoto - can I still do a revert to original in iPhoto to bring back my unedited photo? I seem to remember doing this previously, however when I try to do it now, the saved file from photoshop is my original. Hope all this makes sense and somebody can answer my question.
Cheers
Fraser

It doesn't appear that you can - iPhoto gets fooled because when I did it the thumbnail looks like the original and there is not option to revert back.
Here is what I did - I opened both applications.
Then dragged the picture from the album in iPhoto to PS Elements 4.0
It opened up - I cropped it to make the change obvious.
I saved it.
I went to iPhoto and clicked on the thumbnail - it opened up my edited version but the thumbnail was the same and there was no option to revert. I suggest duplicating and then editing if you are concerned. Or exporting, editing and then importing back into iPhoto. You can also browse the iPhoto folders with Bridge.
