Photoshop Elements 4 slide show pauses.

I must create a slide show in Photoshop Elements 4. I want to pause and speak to my audience, between slides, for three minutes, or four minutes, or five minutes, or longer. It seems that 'between slide transition times' are pre-determined by PSE4,, with 2 seconds, 4 seconds and up to a maximum of 120 seconds, pauses. Is there a way that I can determine the length of the pauses?
Yours sincerely, Cogleylane

Louis,
I hope you are happy with the decision to go with the Sony package. I really like the flexibility of both programs.
I'd be happy to answer some questions. I changed my Adobe forum profile so that you can see my e-mail address. I'll leave it on there for a day or so.
Have you tried the Sony website and forums?

I have always found them helpful, much like this one.
I have to admit that my skills on DVD Architect Studio 3 are not as good as they are on Movie Studio 6. I cut my teeth on the first full blown version of DVD Architect [1.0]. DVD Architect Studio has so many more features and flexibility, it is amazing. The only bad thing about DVD Architect Studio that I can see is that it won't encode the audio in Dolby AC-3 format, which is the preferred format. If you use the audio defaults in the program, however, you will be fine unless you are trying to cram more than 60 minutes worth of stuff onto the DVD. Personally, I think that is bad practice anyway, because who wants to watch an hour of your slideshows!

Is Copy Paste Pans & Zooms Possible in Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor Slideshow?

In the Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor, someone wants to create a unique pan and zoom effect for one photo and be able to apply it the the rest of the photos in the Filmstrip without having to do that on an individual photo basis.
In the Slide Show Editor, Edit Menu/Apply Pan & Zoom to All Slides or Apply Pan & Zoom to Selected Slide(s) does not get the job done. Instead it looks like it just applies the default Photoshop Elements pan and zoom. I have investigated several routes to the goal unsuccesful and have concluded that Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor offers no such copy paste pans & zoom feature.
I have detailed how to add more than one pan & zoom per slide, how to get the pan & zoom copy/paste job done in Premiere Elements, either doing all the pan & zoom in Premiere Elements or creating the pan & zoom in Photoshop Elements for one slide, using Send to Premiere Elements, Break Apart Adobe Photoshop Elements Slideshow, copy/paste of the transferred pan & zoom. Believe it or not, that does work. I know that there will be skeptics who feel that the pan & zoom timing would be distored, but....This person does not have or want Premiere Elements in the equation. So, I am looking for a way out for her.
I am posting the question here for someone to confirm my conclusion or offer a way that has escaped me. If someone has found a way, he/she will be fully created for the contribution and thanked.

The box in my Photoshop Elements, which shows the size and types of brushes has shrunk to one unreadable line. How do I expand the box to its original size? I have tried dragging it open but nothing moves.

Well, when you open the program, the splash screen, the window you see while the program is opening, should make that clear enough. For example:

Mobil photos album in Photoshop Elements 12 show up in Revel albums with titles but are blank. No photos!

I am using Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer for Mac. I have moved several local albums to the mobil albums area in the left panel of the Org
anizer screen. I am signed in to Revel. The albums with titles show up in Revel, but they are empty. None of the photos show up. I can see the photos in the library section of Revel, but not in the album view. Also, when I try to share the albums with Album Web Share, the link that is generated takes me to the album webpage where I see a message "There are no photos or videos in this album".
Why are the albums coming up blank! What have I down wrong?? I can see the photos in the albums in the Photoshop Organizer window, but nothing in the Revel albums.

Premiere Elements slide show error mesage

After preparing a slide show I went to "Share" and checked "Burn Video DVD/Blue ray. When Premiere Elements loaded and went to download my project file I received an error message as follows "This type of fie is not supported, or the codec is not installed".
I cannot create the slide show on a dvd.

I had been working on the Premiere Elements 13 Windows tryout, trying to cover as much as possible. The tryout has expired. I should have the purchased version by the end of the week.
Elements Organizer 13 is a "new breed" of Elements Organizer along with it "Slideshow".
You say that you have created your slideshow (presumed with one of its 5 themes) and saved it as an Elements Organizer 13 Slides Show Project.
From that point on, this is my take on this which I will confirm again later in the week when I have the purchased version...
a. The Slide Show Project is a creation of the Elements Organizer 13 and remains in the catalog, available for re-edit (limited).
b. The only way out of the Elements Organizer 13 for this created slideshow is Export to yield an AVCHD.mp4 file either 720p30 or 1080p30 which
is saved to the computer hard drive.
c. It is those AVCHD.mp4 files that can be imported into a Premiere Elements project with Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets.
d. I do not recall there being a viable opportunity to use the Slide Show Project thumbnail in the Elements Organizer 13 workspace for a Share/Burn Video DVD or Blu-ray.

Photoshop Elements 8 shows error 150:30 in Mac OS X 10.10(Yosemite)

Hi,
Just upgraded to Yosemite (when my iMac 27" died Apple support put in a new HD and did the S/W upgrade). I'm using (or was) PSE 8, but keep getting an error message, and says the licensing has stopped working. Tried reinstalling the programme on my MBP (also now on Yosemite), but while it will open, it won't allow me access to any images stored in iPhoto. Haven't tried yet on the iMac because I can't delete the old/existing key.
The easy answer is to upgrade to PSE13, but is this necessary. Can't seem to find and info on if this is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Jack

Wait. You have a bigger problem than a reinstall will fix. You can never, never transfer an installed copy of PSE as the apple store did.
Now you must download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
after which you can manually remove the bits of PSE that are there. Look not only in applications but also in the library at the main level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, as well as in the user library for the prefs mentioned by John in his post.
Then you can reinstall, but you must clean up the mess first or you'll be right back where you started when you reinstall.

Photoshop Elements 5.0 organizer hangs

I have been using Elements 5.02 for a quite a while, especially the Organizer. However, a couple weeks ago it hangs whenever I try to open the organizer.
I've tried many things but no luck in extracting the catalog information. Things I've tried:
- Uninstalled and reinstalled. Downloaded and installed 5.02 update. Still hangs when opening Organizer.
- When opening, pressed the CTRL key, instructed it to compact and recover. It says it completed succesfully but it still hangs.
- When opening, pressed the CTRL key and basically created a new catalog file. Organizer successfully opened. Attempted to restore
my previous backup. It was a full backup. All the pictures were restored but when Organizer opens, it hangs again.
So my questions are:
- On the drive where my photos are restored, I see the My Catalog.psa file (23,298 KB), along with a My Catalog.ldb file. In the C:
\ProgramData\Adobe\Catalogs there is also a My Catalog.psa file but only 752 KB. Seems like my data is there but for some reason it
is not being restored properly. Can you provide any suggestions to have the Organizer extract the data from the backed-up catalog
- Are there any tests to figure out if my backed-up catalog is corrupted? Should I attach my catalog for you to examine its health?
-When restoring a backup, is it possible to only do the catalog and not all the photos?
Thanks,
Stephen
Operating System: Windows Vista

johnny,
I noticed that you posted both here and in the Premiere Elements forum. Since you said that you could play the first DVD that you created on your TV DVD player, that means that you would have created that first DVD from Premiere Elements or some other DVD auhtoring software. This is because Photoshop Elements does not create a DVD for play on a TV.
So I recommend that you go up one level from this thread, so that you are at the level of the "Photoshop Elements Technical Issues" forum and use the "Add Topic" function to start your own thread
Then in your new thread,
1) please post a description of which options you chose when you did the
b Output
command from the photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor
Did you choose
-- Send to Premiere Elements?
-- Burn to a DVD ?
-- create a File that is a .wmv file type?
2) Use Windows Explorer to examine each of these DVDs. What are the folders contained on the DVD that will play on the TV? And what are the folders on the DVD that will not play on the TV?
3) What brand of DVDs did you use? And are they +R or -R?

Pse 7 slide show

Hello
Is it possible in pse 7 slide show to bring in more than one photo per screen shot ie like picture of Mom and Dad and then bring in smaller photo's of children on same slide.
Roxy

>Is it possible in pse 7 slide show to bring in more than one photo per screen shot ie like picture of Mom and Dad and then bring in smaller photo's of children on same slide.
I suggest that you use the Photoshop Elements editor to make whatever "composite" photo you wish and then you can use that "composite" photo file for the slide in the PSE 7 slide show.
However, if your intent is to display first the picture of Mom and Dad and then
b dynamically
bring in photo(s) of children,
-- then no the Photoshop Elements slide show does not have this capability. You need a more advanced slide show program or Adobe Premiere Elements video editor picture in picture also has the capability.
-- an alternative in the Photoshop Elements slide show that you might try (but will not be very precise) is to create the composite photo file in the PSE editor and then use the Zoom or Pan feature of the slide show so that you set the box to start the zoom (or pan) with only the parents visible and then zoom out (or pan) so that the children become visible.

Best way to create slide shows in PE4 and PSE 6

What's the best way to create a fancy slide show in PE 4 and PSE 6? I need to create a slide show of about 600 pictures. I'm on Windows XP with 3gb RAM. I've done this a few years ago in earlier versions of PE and PSE. Before i plunge into this again i wanted to get some overall guidance for what to do or not do.
My ultimate goal is to create a slide show that:
1. uses pan and zoom on every photo
2. transitions between every photo
3. has an audio track
4. has some nice special effects -- words and graphics that appear on slide at precisely the right moment to match the song, and stay on the screen as one slide transitions to another. i want the text to be able to move and fade in and out.
My view is that it's easy to accomplish #1-3 in PSE 6; it's quite simple to create a slide show, add pan and zoom, and transitions. However, #4 is not doable because adding text and graphics can only be done on a slide at a time and only when the slide start/stops (i.e., you can't have text appear 2 secs after the slide has started displaying and stay on screen while the next slide appears). Need PE 4 to do that.
What i'm wondering is:
-- is it best to create the basic slide show in PSE6 and then export to PE 4 to do the final fancy stuff, or is it best to just create the show in PE4? Seems that doing the pans, zooms, and transitions are easiest in PSE 6.

eric,
I am going to offer some reasons NOT to start this slide show in Photoshop Elements. This is despite the fact that I have used the workflow of starting in Photoshop Elements and used the Send Slideshow to Premiere Elements in PSE5 - PE 3 and PSE7 - PE7.
1- Timing differences between the PSE and PE slide show construction and processing
There are many differences in timing between the two products. Transitions can start/end slightly offset from their timing in PSE once they arrive and are processed in PE. Same for pan and zoom. Does this matter? Well the more precise your timing, the more potential for a show stopper.
Example: one person who wanted continual motion using pan and zoom needed to go modify the transition positioning and the keyframing of the pan/zooms on every single slide after sending a slideshow from PSE to PRE.
2- your requirement to
"words and graphics that appear on slide at precisely the right moment to match the song, and stay on the screen as one slide transitions to another. i want the text to be able to move and fade in and out."
You can't really sync the audio to a slide in PSE. The text can't move or fade in/out. I think that it will be more grief to retrofit these functions to a slide show that was created in PSE than it will be to do the all the work in Premiere Elements.
3- "Add the sound track for the ENTIRE slide show (this will be longer than i currently have slides for because i don't have all the photos"
I am suspicious that adding the ENTIRE sound track in one PSE slide show will not work.
I have done multiple sends from PSE slide show editor to Premiere Elements. However, I decided on the approach of using no audio in the PSE slideshow editor and adding Audio in Premiere Elements AFTER sending all the slide shows.
Again, your objective of syncing specific photos to music points is good artistically - but I am concerned that it will make your PSE to PRE workflow problematic.
4- "as new photos arrive, do the arrangement/pans/zooms in PSE and move them to PE"
As Steve mentioned when you do subsequent sends of the slideshow, it appends to the end - does not seem to fit your objective of replacing part of the middle.
Also if you get new photos in for the second section of the slideshow - but over in Premiere Elements you had already made other changes in the second section. There is no function to combine new changes doen in PSE and changes done in PE for that same "section" of the slideshow.
5- you did not say whether you will be outputting this slide show in Full Screen or Widescreen format. Will you be burning a DVD? If you will be doing widescreen output, additional problems with specifying pan/zoom in PSE have been identified on various forums because the PSE pan/zoom boxes are not widescreen aspect ratio.
Conclusion:
Some of my comments here are definitely subjective - however, it is my overall conclusion that your objectives and work plan are not a good fit for the Photoshop Elements slide show editor to Premiere Elements workflow.
My perspective on the Photoshop Elements slide show editor is that it is designed to simple, quick and easy. Therefore it has limitations.

Slide show will not burn to disc

When burning to disc, I always get a transcoding error. It then reports an error "running low on system memory, save and proceed with caution." I have a vista machine with a duo core [email protected] ghz processor with 4gb of ram. My processor is running a max capacity and ram is only half used. Are there any settings I can change? or do I need a faster processor?
At this point I am not updated on what you got help with prior to posting this question.
But, the first things that I would ask,
A. what went into this Photoshop Elements 8 slideshow, if photos, what pixel dimensions and how many, if videos, what source, format, and duration, how long is this slideshow?
B. how did you import the slideshow into Premiere Elements 8 AND have you disabled Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features there.
C. what did you do to the Photoshop Elements slideshow once it was in Premiere Elements 8
We can unite the above requested information with your computer specifications in next discussions.
Premiere Elements questions are best posted in the Premiere Elements Forum here.
I will be watching for your responses.

I sent 6 slideshows created in photoshop elements to premiere elements (actually photoshop did it, I simply wanted to create a dvd to show these slide shows on a TV) Each slide show contains between 50 - 100 photos only. The original size of these images is 3000 dpi 3970pixels x2707pixels = 2.44mb each. I have not added any video or audio. I used one of the generic DVD menus and added 1 picture to the menu itself. I do have auto analyzer and other auto recognition programs turned off.

This is what I wound up doing: 1. Create each of your Photoshop Elements slideshows and output each using the Photoshop Elements Slide Show editor Output option "Save As File Movie .wmv" and File Size (profile) = DVD NTSC. Save each as .wmv to Organizer as well as your hard drive location of choice.
I then used windows movie maker to import and burn the files.
The conversion to .wmv files did not take long at all the largest file was 120mb.
I am still confused about batch resizing in photoshop elements. The directions previously given seem to be for photoshop. I could not find batch resize in the file or edit menus.
As far as my processor is concerned, I ran task manager to see what was running and what it was using. Whenever any program was "encoding", my processor ran at 90-100% all the time. No other programs were taxing the processor. My ram memory was unaffected- it always stayed at 50% capacity no matter what was being performed.
Thank you for your help, next time I will use albums to arrange my photos(instead of arranging them within the slideshow), I will resize them (once I figure out how to) and then send them to the slideshow.

Making A Slide Show To Burn To A DVD

His I just started using photshop elemnents 13 from a previous 11 version.
In the past I picked some 300 slides to make a slide show with music and then exported it to a WMV and then imported the WMV into premiere elements and burned a DVD. In phtoshop elements when I selected my slide and created a slide show I could choose how many seconds each slide, the color of the borders, the manner in which slide changed and I used random.
You could then do zoom in or out, make extra slide with information, add music and then save and export to a WMV and then import that into premiere elements and then burn a DVD.

Reason I thought PSE4 would burn to a DVD is, there is a button in the slide show screen that says "burn to DVD" in the PSE4 book we were reading.
If Premiere Elements 2 were also installed with Photoshop Elements 4, then it was possible to burn to DVD from the PSE 4 slide show editor by using Premiere Elements 2. Not all writing on that workflow made it obvious that the Premiere Elements software was required.
Would I be better off getting a different program for making slide shows? The pictures I'm trying to make into a slide show are from a 90th birthday party I shoot over the weekend and want to give out copies of a DVD to the guest.
Option 1
If you have already made a slide show in the Photoshop Elements slide show editor, then you might as well do some investigation of the alternatives.
-- What Windows operating system are you running ? If it includes Windows DVD Maker, then I would give that a try. Write your output of the slide show from PSE to a File - WMV - with Size of DVD,NTSC (or DVD,PAL if your TV is PAL format). Then use that WMV file as input to Windows DVD Maker.
-- If you don't have Windows DVD Maker then you could investigate whatever DVD software came with your PC.
FYI - One warning about the photo files that you use in that PSE slide show. If you use hundreds of high resolution photo files, then PSE can have problems. If your output will NOT be High Def (and yours probably will not be since you mentioned a DVD) then "downsizing" the photo files to approx 1000x 750 pixels will decrease the probablility of your having problems with the slide show.
Option 2
If you have not yet started the PSE slide show, then you might consider a program that many people like for slide shows ----- ProShow Gold from Photodex. It does have a trial.

How to convert slide shows from Video CD to DVD format

I have a number of Adobe Photoshop Elements slide shows in the Video CD format. Since many DVD players (especially blue-ray) do not accomodate the Video CD format........... I would like to convert them to DVD. This will not improve the resolution but will take care of my problem. I do have Adobe 9.0 Photoshop and Premier Elements. Suggestions appreciated.

Even though Photoshop Elements gives you the option of burning a CD or
DVD.........in reality I don't think you can do a DVD unless you have Photoshop
Premier.

Thank you.
You say that you do not have a DVD burner on your PC - so please explain in some detail how you plan to use the DVD player for your TV. For example, does your DVD player for the TV have a slot where you can insert a USB device? What is the make and model of the DVD player machine? Or did you mean that you will use DVD player software with your computer connected to your TV?
Movie Maker - you don't need a DV camera : you can output a WMV file from Movie Maker just as you can from the Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor. The dilemma seems to be that neither of these programs will produce a video DVD conforming output.
Here are some ideas that I was developing - however, we do need to understand what type of output you have the capability to play in order to determine what will help for your specific situation:
I was thinking that an approach might be to make each section of slide show in PSE Slide Show Editor and separately output each as a separate WMV file. Then use Windows Movie Maker and layout sections of the slide show with your video files in between the slide show sections as you wish. Then you could output a single wmv file from Windows Movie Maker. Another alternative would be to do everything in Windows Movie Maker and not use the PSE slide show editor at all.

Elements 4 Slide Show Music

I've distributed two new PDF slide shows to about a dozen people each. A LOT of the recipients have problems with the music -- sometimes it doesn't play at all, sometimes it's jumpy, etc.
Is this a Photoshop slide show problem, an Acrobat Reader problem, a producer/director problem, or ???

Louis,
I don't have PSE4 yet, but adding music to a PDF slide show was an integral feature of Photoshop Album 2. It can still be done in PSE3 but you can't save them as PDF files. I presume therefore, that this functionality has been reintroduced to PSE4.
I soon discovered that for people to view AND hear my pdf slideshows they needed Adobe Reader version 6 or later. In some circumstances, there was/is a plug in available for version 5 to enable this facility.
Karin has made a valid point too. If you do burn your slide show to disk, PSA2 also burned in the core engine of Adobe Reader too. This overcame the problem of recipients either not having the necessary version or not having it at all! The slide show simply ran off the disc. However, be warned, I found that the amount of data that had to be read from the disk sometimes made the slide show pause whilst it caught up with itself.
To help overcome this, ensure that the images you include in your show don't take up unnecessary memory space to reduce the read time. If they're only ever going to be viewed on screen, save them as JPEGs with a standard size of something like 1024 x 768 pixels and a resolution of no more than 72 pixels per inch.
Best of luck.
Mark
