Photoshop Elements 6 and Windows 8.1

I successfully installed and ran my old photoshop elements 6 on my new Windows 8.1 desktop. I was able to make my shareing account and send photos until 4/18 or so, when the photomail appeared to send normally but was not received on the other end. I switched my address and verification number to an alternate address (using adobe email services) under preferences - sharing and still it appears to send but no photos are received to either AOL or Yahoo email accounts. Did an 8.1 update block my mail? Many 8.1 tweaks have inundated my computer lately...HELP!...Marc (I'm using a Dell XPS, i-7, 12 Gig Ram, 2Tb hard drive, Win 8.1, 90,000 jpegs on computer)

Unfortunately, we don't know a whole lot about Elements in this forum. You need to ask your question here:

Good luck

Problems with photoshop elements 10 and windows 8

I bought photoshop elements 10 for my wife last year for Christmas. She decided not to install it on our old computer because we knew that we were planning to replace the computer this year. We finally got around to replacing it and the new computer came with Windows 8. She installed her photoshop on it and she is having problems with it. I'm wondering if there is a compatability problem with the windows 8? Is there an update for the pse 10 that will make it work with windows 8?

PSE10 is said to be compactable with windows8. What kind of problem are you facing? Did you try launching after resetting preferences? to know more about reseting preferences, check http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/undo-redo-cancel-actions.html#restore_defa ult_preferences

HP Deskjet 9650 with Photoshop Elements 7 and Windows 7 not printing

I have a new Windows 7 computer and installed Photoshop Elements 7.0 on it, which works fine, except I cannot print. I did the installation instructions to use the alternate driver 9800 and can print 8 1/2 X 11 Word documents, but I cannot print a 12X12 scrapbook page to save my soul. The resume print button keeps blinking and it spits it out blank. Any help?
I hope I do not have to get a new large format printer.

I just accomplished this without any real problems and am now running with my same license on the newly rebuilt PC. Here is what I did ...
Originally my PSE7 configuration was set up last year on new Intel I7-based PC running Vista 64 bit version with a retail copy of the PSE7 software, i.e. not the upgrade version. Once that was setup I imported my catalog from the older Adobe Photoshop Album on my previous system. That put me at the place you are now, i.e. PSE7 on Windows Vista.
For this upgrade I puchased the upgrade version of Windows 7 and an additional second disk drive. I installed Windows 7 onto the clean drive, giving me a dual-boot system for either OS. While booted on the Vista drive, I used the easy-transfer method to write a backup of my Vista files to an external disk drive. I then rebooted into the Windows 7 drive and used the Easy-transfer tool to reload the files from the external drive. (note; this easy-transfer included >200GB of music/video/image files so it ran for several hours for each phase of the transfer)
Once I verified the directory structure on the new Windows 7 setup, only then did I do the installation of PSE7. That wnet flawlessly and relicensed without any problems. Next I was able to open up my catalog in organizer and all of the images were intact. Since then I have had no issues with the configuration.
So bottom line is you should be fine doing the upgrade regardless of whether you do the upgrade like I did to a new drive or an in-place upgrade overlaying your vista environment. For the in-place upgrade I would strongly recommend you still do a backup of all of your images and their associated catalog(s) to an external drive. Win7 is a vast improvement over Vista so I'm sure you won't regret the upgrade but I don't trust any vendor's software upgrade procedure, especially Microsoft so please do the backup first.

Photoshop Elements 10 and Windows 7 to Windows 8 upgrade

Hi,
I have Photoshop Elements 10 installed on a PC running Windows 7.
I have registered to receive the Windows 8 upgrade later this month.
Does anyone know whether I should uninstall or deregister PE10 before upgrading the OS, and then reinstall or reregister PE10?
Or is Win8 likely to upgrade the PC, and PE10 will continue to operate satisfactorily afterwards.
Thanks

Hi,
The recommended solution is to first deactivate PSE (from Editor), uninstall it. Now upgrade your PC with Windows8 and then install PSE again and register it again.

Sending photos using Photoshop Elements 12 and Windows 8?

I did everything according to the instructions, defined e-mail address, got the code and confirmation of the adress, but still when I try to send meile in the end there is symbol that the computer is trying to perform this task, but the minutes passes by, and nothing changes. I have spend a lot of time trying to fix it - with no success. I use Windows 8 and Microsoft OutLook. I have no problems sending other thing. I also have Mozzilla Thunderbird om my computer, but it is synchronised to OutLook (can use both of them, whichever I want).
I bought Photoshop Elements 12 to send and edit photos. I'm close to that to give up this product, despite the fact that the rest of his functions as a judge very successful. It's great that there is a possibility to get a refund of the purchase of this product for 30 days from the purchase over the internet.
Please, help me.

Photoshop Elements 12 and Windows 8.1 error message

Hi,
I have just installed Photoshop Elements 12 on my laptop which went fine. but when I search the computer for photograph's the following error appears;
''Direct X/Direct Play could not be initialised. Please be sure that it is installed on your system''
I have checked and it is!
Can anyone offer a fix to this problem?
Many thanks
Rocket Rob

There have been a few W8.1 posts about this problem. The fix is to enable DirectPlay under legacy features. It's in Control panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> Turn windows features on or off.
Cheers,

Photoshop Elements 12 and windows 8.1 problems

Hi folks...I purchased a new Dell Computer with Windows 8.1 and had added the Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 to the system Upon activation, the Photoshop program worked for 2 days, then I received a message that said "Photoshop Element 12 Editor has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Adobe Customer Service referred me to the forum, indicating that they cannot address problems with Adobe Elements 12. Can someone here help?

Photoshop elements 7 and Windows 7 Homegroup

Hi,
I'm trying to add a server drive on my Homegroup network to the Watched Folder list in Elements 7 and I get an error. Is ver 7 compatible with Homegroup? Is there a trick. Note that I am NOT watching the Homegroup Pictures folder, I need to add a Raid Array drive to the watch list.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Have you tried the following steps from John's page:
Watching Network Folders
[PSE 6, 7, 8]
This FAQ is not being maintained and may be out-of-date
It is possible to watch network folders with File > Watch Folders, but there a couple of considerations.
First, you need to use UNC syntax (\\mycomputer\photos) rather than a drive letter to specify the folders to be watched, because the Windows service implementing watched folders doesn’t have access to your drive-letter definitions.
You may get the error message:
The Watch Folder Service returned an error: The system cannot find the path specified.
This occurs because watched folders are implemented by a Windows service that normally runs in the Local System account and doesn’t have access to your logon credentials, which could be needed to access the network drive.
To change the logon of the service, go to the Control Panel and open Services. Select Adobe Active File Monitor Vv (substitute 6, 7, or 8 for v) and click the Properties button. On the Logon tab, change to “This account” and enter the name of your account (on the computer that runs PSE) and its password.

Photoshop Elements 7 and Windows 7

I am currently running Photoshop Elements 7 on a Dell machine with Vista 64. When I bought the computer, Dell offered a free upgrade to Windows 7 which I have ordered. If I install the upgrade to Windows 7, will my Photoshop Elements 7 run without major problems?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Using Photoshop elements 13 and windows 8.1. After one week, Photoshop elements photo editor will nit load. This occurred after I scanned in some large files. Is there a connection?

Not only will photo editor not load from organizer@@@@, it wont load at all on my computer. What happened? more importantly how do I fix it?

I've got things working now. The process I followed was:
1. Reboot in safe mode
2. Run Photoshop elements. It worked in safe mode.
3. Unplug the network cable
4. Restart in normal mode
5. Run Photoshop elements. It worked with the cable unplugged.
6. Exit out of Photoshop
7. Plug in the network cable
8. Now Photoshop seems to start up normally.
It seemed to me that the problem had something to do with license validation. In safe mode there's no network connection, which might disrupt validation. When I left out steps 3, 4 and 5, it still didn't work. After doing that once, it seems to work. If it stops working, I'll post another reply here.
YMMV.

Lighter print out of photos using Photoshop Elements 10 and Windows 7?

When I print directly from Elements 10, my photos come out much darker than when I print directly from my computer on Windows 7??
Is there a MAIN adjustment (not each photo) in the program which lightens all print-outs? My printer is fine. It copies photos properly and prints out from Windows (My Pictures) properly.
Donna in Joplin

Donna,
While you read up on color management (!!!), you may want to check the following:
Reduce the brightness of your computer screen. The default setting may be sub-optimal.
In Elements, go to Edit>color settings, and tick the option to optimize for computer screens
In Elements, open a picture, then go to File>print. Look for "More options", go to the color management tab, and under color handling drop-down, select "printer manages colors"
Suggest that you print from Editor, not from Organizer.
