Photoshop Elements 6 - Is this forum where I can finally find HELP?

I am attempting scrapping. I have tons of graphics and pictures to make pages with.  But I cannot find the solution to get the white background to each imported item to become transparent.  To print anything out leaves the white box surrounding the graphic. and so the background paper isn't intact. I have spent hours upon hours trying to figure it out. I keep thinking it shouldn't be this hard! I've looked through library books and am still doing so. I don't understand it. What in this beautiful world is the problem??????

Well, that was a lesson in itself. I now know about inverted crop and I can see if  I had an easier graphic it would work faster. It took quite a while because I kept getting warnings about not selecting  any pixels. Finally I pushed through it and got to a screen where with brushes, marked the selections that I wanted and those that I didn't. In the end I got my graphic without any white showing through. I accidently erased the main outline in a few places but decided I'd stop for the time being. In the end, I accomplished the look I want but my goodness, shouldn't there be a simpler and faster way. I didn't think I was asking for anything out of the ordinary. Thank you so much for your ideas, lesson and helpful response. I appreciate it !   Genie

  • Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 7, Recovered photos through Carbonite but can't find the catalog,Please help ......

    I have tried everything I know, but can't locate the catalog- I do not know where it is or what it would be named or what carbonite would call it. Also, the photos are not at the "same" location. I have over 22,000 photos and can't imagine trying to re-catalog. It is my life and of course, I need something immediately for a family funeral. Not to be too dramatic.... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Try the Elements forum.

    Photoshop Extended doesn't use catalogs.  But I'm guessing your catalog information was contained in a data or xml file.

  • Wish to install photoshop elements on second PC. Where are the download files?

    I wish to install Photoshop Elements 9 on a second PC, but can't find the necessary download files on my first PC. What can I do?

    We really can't know. You have not provided any info on what country/ state/ region you are actually in, what language version and so on. Either way, normally only support can resolve such issues, so contact them by web chat.

  • Photoshop Elements diagog box is frozen and I can't get it to close.  Do I delete and up date to a high version?  I've been getting along fine until yesterday - not sure what happened

    Photoshop Elements 3 dialog box with picture and patent numbers - not sure how to get it fixed.  It's in an infinite loop - have rebooted to no avail.  Should I update to a higher version after deleting this version?

    Tried the resetting options, but can't even get to preferences - nothing 
    will open.  May have to find my Version 3 CD, or delete Photoshop 3 and get 
    a higher version.

    ELHID labs,
    As your question applies to Photoshop Elements, I will Move your post there. Your links and any e-mail subscriptions will follow perfectly.
    Also, I think that Steve G. and Neale have given you some great direction to getting your Panorama "stitching" working for you.
    Good luck,

    I just purchased and downloaded Adope Photoshop Elements 10 to my new Mac.  I cannot find, and cannot open, the program.

    Well, it should be in your downloads folder. If it's really not anywhere, I would try downloading the trial, where it's easier to figure out which is the correct file, and you can enter your serial number into that, same as into the purchased download.

    I have an old Kodak Photo CD (1999) and Photoshop Elements 11 on Windows 7. How can I open the .pcd images?
    Please help me open these photos. They are very important to me and I need to access them.
    If I can't do it with any of the software installed on my computer, would someone be willing to open them, save them as jpgs and send them to me?
    Thank you so much, Nancy

    You can get the plugin here by downloading the Extra Content for Photoshop CS3  File 2
    Just be sure to follow Note:Very Important Instructions or the link won't work.
    http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    After downloading the PHSPCS3_Cont_WWE.exe, double click on it to extract the contents, probably to your desktop.
    Then in the Goodies folder, Optional Plugins folder, you'll see the Kodak PhotoCD folder
    Open that and copy the Photo CD.8BI to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\Plug-Ins
    Copy the profiles to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Color\Profiles
