Photoshop elements 7.0 photobook dopcument dimensions

I have photoshop elements 7.0 I want to create a photobooks but need to change the document dimensions in the photobook settings before creating the book. I can see no way to do this. Any help on how to change photobook document dimension sizes in Elements 7.0 would be VERY appreciated thank you

Hi GreatCircle
Photobook in PSE comes with dimensions presets and I am afraid but there is no option to change the photobook document dimensions. You can however change the dimensions of the image within the photobook.

I can't order prints, Photobooks, etc. from Photoshop Elements 13 through my existing Shutterfly account.

How do I set up Photoshop Elements 13 so I can print photos through Shutterfly. I have an existing Shutterfly account but can't find any place in Organizer or Editor to provide by Shutterfly with my UserName and password. If I select the "Create" button on the upper right of the "Organizer" screen, then select "Photo Prints", and then select "order prints from Shutterfly" I receive a "Welcome to Shutterfly" dialog box prompting me for information to create a new Shutterfly account (new User name, new password). Since I have an existing Shutterfly account already I don't want to create a new one. I receive the same "Welcome to Shutterfly" dialog box when I select a photo in Organizer then select "Order Prints" from the "File" pull down menu. I also see the same dialog box when I open a Photobook in the Editor and click on the "Order" button. So how do I provide Elements with my current Shutterfly information? There must be some way to provide it but I have not been able to find it

You don't get any windo0ws like the one I have attached here?
In the above picture I have BOXED the place where you need to sign-in to your Shutterfly account. Also, please note that you have to be in USA to get this feature as far as I know.
You do this from the PSE Organizer by going to:
File >> Order Prints >> Order Shutterfly Prints
Good luck.

Image dimension limitations in Photoshop Elements?

I'm trying to find out what the maximum image dimensions are for Photoshop Elements 8.0
I know Photoshop CS increased the previous limit of 30,000x30,000 to 300,000x300,000.
According to this page, PSE 5 and 6 were limited to 30k:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402760.html
Yet according to this page, PSE 5 can reportedly handle 300k:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333456.html
I'd like to upgrade from Elements v4 to v8, but one thing I need to ensure is that it can handle >30000px images, otherwise I'll have to go for CS5...
Can anyone give me a definitive answer, please?

When you installed the plugin(s), the installer should have created a folder in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Image Trends Inc\Hemi 1.0
Go to the Hemi 1.0 folder and copy the three plugins that don't say x64 and paste them into the pse 11 editor plugins folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\Plug-Ins

Love / Hate Relationship with Photoshop Elements

I am having a love/hate relationship with Photoshop Elements! Love the page design capabilities and hate the lack of capability on the print end. Kodak does not give any choice in the book they will print from Elements. All I can get is a #$%& die cut cover! Is there anyway that I can order other options that I know Kodak has available when creating a book using Elements and their site. I want to be able to choose a custom cover! I have tried Kodak to get answers. I have tried Adobe (impossible, unless maybe you pay). Neither are very helpful! The only answers I get are use the Elements designed pages and place them onto pages that you create in their software. Problem is that one needs a jpeg file to do this. No online program seems to recognize .PSD or .PSE file types. HELP!
Bob, Barbara you both seem to be very knowledgable...any ideas...
Anyone with any help can answer here or [email protected]

Terry:
Yeah, the photobook print options are limited. (Although, the built in Kodak and Shutterfly books are very nice)
One thing to try differently is to use the Print At Home selection on that first screen after the clicking on the PhotoBook option (assuming you are using PSE8 here) (use Photo Collage with PSE7)
Down that path, you will get a few more choices in page size. It will still create a multi-page document (a .pse) while your building your book, and when done, you can print the pages of the book out as a .pdf. Many book printing services will take in a PDF.
Another option is to do a single page at a time and save them as .jpg's. A little more work in keeping your various files together and ordered properly, but it would give you ultimate flexibility.

Photoshop CS5, Photoshop CS5 ex, Photoshop Elements 9, iPhoto, Aperture????

Okay.... so I am a bit overwhelmed with trying to decide if I should be upgrading from iPhoto or not.
iPhoto has been great for making my photobooks. But, on occasion, it has been a bit frustrating trying to get the right number of vertical vs. horizontal photos on a page. Sometimes when adding, if you add in the right order, configurations can change, usually in size (not necessarily orientation unless it is the fewer photos per page layouts 2-3 or 4). But, it makes it go really quickly to do albums as there isn't much engineering going on as you go from page to page (on occasion, I make a separate dummy album that has a different theme that I think manages my horizontal v. vertical issue or perhaps the number of photos allowed on a page (as some themes only have up to 4 or 6 photos per page and on occasion, I like to have more 9, for example)).
Primarily, I have used iPhoto to do personal albums. I intend on possibly starting to offer my services to get albums done for people and/or do slideshow videos for them. With that, I do end up, even with my own, photos from years past or current that have coloring issues or rips/tears/fading.
As it is right now, I have used iPhoto to work on the highlights, shadows, etc, which for me right now, is by trial and error.... I don't really know what I am doing and iPhoto doesn't seem to care. Fortunately, whatever I do, I can go back to the original, which I think is true in Aperture as well... However, I think I might have heard differently with Photoshop (CS5 or Elements)?
I have not installed any plug-ins for the other printer services in iPhoto (eg. Leather Craftsmen), but, I know it is possible a client may want a 12x12 album or some of those other shapes, sizes, cover options out there.... e.g. Shutterfly, even.
One other bit of information is that I am not just a candid completely amateur photographer either. I do take quite a bit of photos with my Canon Rebel Xsi. Not top of the line.... but, although I can should in raw, have chose to always just go with jpeg as this is a hobby of mine and I really don't have loads of time to just adjust all my photos... nor necessarily the space on my computer to put everything at raw. But, I could be persuaded otherwise, if I really knew how to use and really know what the benefits of it are (again, I know I should take classes or something, just don't know where to focus my attention).
So, what am I asking? Well, a few things:
1. If my primary goal is to make Photobooks, which program(s) should I have?
2. I understand you could have iPhoto or Aperture and then edit photos in PhotoShop.... Does that save the file back to Aperture/iPhoto or does it make a separate file in Photoshop?
3. Which books, classes, etc would you suggest to learn the uses of such program(s)?
4. Does the program you mention in #1 strong enough to handle typical adjustments on jpegs-aging, color casts, lack of proper lighting, red-eye (iPhoto seems to do okay on this even in the auto function, but on occasion, it sometimes replaces with too dark of a correction, or not fully complete.)
5. Does Shutterfly have a print plug-in so I could make photobooks on either Aperture or iPhoto and have Shutterfly print? Or is that just available on Photoshop (unless I print to jpegs and then upload to Shutterfly using the Shutterfly uploader)?
6. Is it really beneficial to shoot in raw over jpeg?
7. If Photoshop is even part of your answer in #1, is it worth it to have CS5 or CS5 Extended with the 3D option?

1. If my primary goal is to make Photobooks, which program(s) should I have?
iPhoto is entirely template driven, Aperture's books are very customisable and there are losts of online options too. Google a bit and see what's out there.
2. I understand you could have iPhoto or Aperture and then edit photos in PhotoShop.... Does that save the file back to Aperture/iPhoto or does it make a separate file in Photoshop?
Yes and Yes. In iPhoto: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
In Aperture, Preferences _. Export and set your external editor there. WHen you send a pic to PS with Aperture it makes a tiif or psd and sends it over. Saving in Photoshop brings it back.
4. Does the program you mention in #1 strong enough to handle typical adjustments on jpegs-aging, color casts, lack of proper lighting, red-eye (iPhoto seems to do okay on this even in the auto function, but on occasion, it sometimes replaces with too dark of a correction, or not fully complete.)
Photoshop Elements is a good compromise between the cost of full photoshop and the features you'll need.
5. Does Shutterfly have a print plug-in so I could make photobooks on either Aperture or iPhoto and have Shutterfly print? Or is that just available on Photoshop (unless I print to jpegs and then upload to Shutterfly using the Shutterfly uploader)?
You could look that one up at Shutterfly yourself, no?
6. Is it really beneficial to shoot in raw over jpeg?
Depends on what you want to do... Really that's a massively basic question. I would check out some o the online Photo forums and see what advice you can find there tom get you started. You could do worse than look here
http://www.digital-photography-school.com/
7. If Photoshop is even part of your answer in #1, is it worth it to have CS5 or CS5 Extended with the 3D option?
Given the amount of your experience, rather than diving in and spending a whole lot of money, start with iPhoto and Photoshop Elements. Explore. IF you want to upgrade, when you're ready, migrate to Aperture and Elements. I think you're a good way from facing CS5 yet.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Folders

I recently purchased and downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and I notice that 2 folders were created in My Documents, as follows:
Folder No. 1 - Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 - 1.87GB, 163 files, 52 Folders
Folder No. 2 - Photoshop Elements 11 - 1.16GB, 151 files, 50 Folders
Is this setup correct and / or necessary? I notice that many of the files in each of the folders are similarly named and therefore wondering if something went wrong during the download / setup and that the process was duplicated?
What is the process in the event that the software needs to be downloaded again, say after doing a Windows re-installation? Can I copy the software to CD or DVD for future installation?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

One is the base installer, the otehr the content like image frames, photobook templates etc.. Backups are always advisable. USB sticks are cheap and yopu could ebven bury one under your house for posterity...

Photoshop Elements 11 - Rectangular Marquee functionality gone

I "upgraded" from Photoshop Elements 8 (PE8) to Photoshop Elements 11 (PE11), and have regretted it every day. I use the Macintosh version and have used PE for many years. A refund is in my immediate future.
One bit of functionality in PE8 THAT IS NOT in PE11 is the "Rectangular Marguee" options. In PE8, selecting "Rectangular Marquee" showed three options: "Normal" "Fixed Size" "Fixed Ratio". "Normal" allowed freeform selection of areas of the photo. "Fixed Size" created a Marquee that matched the dimensions you provide (such as selecting a 3" x "5" set portion of a photo) "Fixed Ratio" allowed a size ratio of the marquee. Here is an example of what I did with the "Fixed Size": My wife is a teacher and takes many pics of her kids for a variety of reasons. I can set a "Fixed Size" Rectangular Marquee to select a portion of a picture to segregate just the child's face that I copy/paste into MSWord to print the equivalent of a sheet of school pictures to allow the kids to learn each other's names.
Note also that, simlar to another bug I reported that is easily reproduced by Adobe Tech Support, If I select a portion of a photo (1 1/2"w x 2"h for example as in the school pictures above) copy/paste into other software (MS Word in my case) results in a pasted image of about 5"w.
Many new features in PE11, many old features of PE8 GONE.
Don't get me started with Adobe discarding the option of opening photos in PE11 utilizing their "Adobe Bridge" program like they allowed in PE8.
HELP, Adobe! Please fix these bugs!

I think you are maybe just not looking in the right place. For instance, the tool options are now down at the bottom of your screen rather than in the options bar at the top. If you don't see them, click the Tool Options button. Then for the Rectangular Marquee you should see:
There's actually more functionality now with the new refine edge tool, not less.

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 support .jpg file enlargements

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 allow you to enlarge .jpg files?

Explain exactly what you mean by distorting?
If you mean that the resized image is looking 'squashed' or 'stretched' that means you are resizing in a different ratio to your original. No photo editing software will allow you to resize to a different ratio of Height/Width without distortion.
Example:
Original Image - 6 x 4, ratio 1.5:1
Resized image - 7 x 5, ratio 1.4:1 - this will be slightly distorted.
Resized image - 10 x 8, ratio 1.25:1 - this will be significantly distorted.
If this is your problem then use the crop tool, entering your desired final height/width dimensions. You will lose either some of the top/bottom or left/right depending on how you crop and whee you drag the crop mask, but the end result will not be distorted.
If you mean that you resize the image and it starts to look blurry and edges have the jaggies then there is just not enough detail in the original to support the level of enlargement you are looking for. I don't recall the resizing algorithms used in PSE4 but I don't think they were terribly sophisticated - you MIGHT get better results by performing many incremental enlargements of 10% at a time, this often gives a smoother result.

Neale

How do I make a DVD cover for a standard DVD holder (190 x 135 x 14mm) in Photoshop Elements 12?

How do I make a DVD cover for a standard DVD holder (190 x 135 x 14mm)? I would like for it to be easy so I can fold the finished product and the front cover, spine, and back cover will all be in the correct space when inserted into the DVD holder. I know there is a "create DVD cover" option in Photoshop Elements 12, and I've tried that, however the dimensions never come out correctly. Can anyone help? Thank you!

Export from Photoshop Elements 6 to Premiere Elements 8

I prepared a slide show with The Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 and produced a DVD which has good but not excellent image quality (I chose File Setting - High 800x600). To improve the DVD image quality I installed the trial version of Premiere Elements 8. I exported the slide show to Premiere Elements 8 and have several problems.1 The image quality of the DVD produced by Premiere Elements 8 is worse than the one produced from The Organizer (Photoshop Elements 6).
2 The titles, transitions and soundtrack does not show in Premiere Elements 8.
3 The slides sequence in Premiere Elements 8 is different then the one in the slide show in The Organizer (Photoshop Elements 6).
At one time a menu popped up asking me if I wanted to convert the Catalogue of V6. I declined because I was afraid that the V6 catalogue may be replaced and I would not be able to go back to it.
Please help.

Conclusion.
My results are consistent with your problems NOT being associated with Photoshop Elements 6 slideshow being used instead a Photoshop Element 8 slideshow in the slideshow transfer to Premiere Elements 8.
Testing. Photoshop Elements 6/Premiere Elements 8.
First I created a slideshow in the Photoshop Elements 6 Slide Show Editor. It included:
(a) 19 jpeg photos each with pixel dimensions of 3264 x 2448 (that is not recommended pixel dimensions but was used to stress out the project if possible...these represent grossly oversized photos since the goal is DVD VIDEO with standard frame size of 720 x 480.)
(b) I used a Wipe transition between each
(c) I used text within the photos (included in the text was a sequential number so that I could more easily visually follow the sequence of the slideshow after it was transferred to Premiere Elements 8)
(d) I added two audio clips as soundtrack (the first I placed from beginning to just before the last two photos to pick up on any audio out of sync as well as loss of a whole audio clip)
(e) I used a pan and zoom effect for photos 1 and 2.
The quality of the preview in the Photoshop Elements 6 Slide Show Editor was good.
I outputted the Photoshop Elements 6 Slide Show Editor slideshow, using the Slide Show Edit Output option "Send to Premiere Elements". When I did, Premiere Elements 8 opened, I set the project preset, and it accepted the slideshow. In the Project Media area were
(a) a folder containing all the individual components of the slideshow
(b) the slideshow file in a video (grouped) form
The video (grouped) form had automatically been placed on the Timeline as well.
Everything transferred correctly. No problems. SEE IMPORTANT NOTE BELOW.
I even burned the Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO standard from Premiere Elements 8, and the DVD-VIDEO standard played back well on my 19 in LCD Widescreen TV.
Testing. Photoshop Elements 8/Premiere Elements 8.
I repeated the above with Photoshop Elements 8/Premiere Elements 8 and the same slideshow and obtained the same results.
IMPORTANT. Whether it was Photoshop Elements 6/Premiere Elements 8 or Photoshop Elements 8/Premiere Elements 8, I had to render the Timeline in the Edit Mode in order to get the best possible preview so that I could determine/confirm what was on the Premiere Elements Timeline. And, rendering the Timeline as described with all those oversized photos took several hours.
This is what I need to know:
1. How many photos did you use in the slideshow in the Photoshop Elements 6 or 8 slideshow, and what were their pixel dimensions? If you do not know, you can check it out in Photoshop Elements Full Editor/Image Menu/Resize/Image Size dialog or just place your mouse course over the file on the hard drive and note the "dimensions".
2. If you transfer your slideshow from Photoshop Elements 6 or 8 to Premiere Elements 8, use the Output option "Send to Premiere Elements", and get your slideshow on the Premiere Elements 8 Timeline, do you render that Timeline by pressing the Enter Key of the computer main keyboard so that the red line over the Timeline turns green when the process is complete?
3. Is your computer optimized, defragmented, cleaned up, scratch files directed to an external hard drive (NTFS formatted), etc. If you are using an external hard drive for the scratch files, is there enough space there for them?
4. What is your computer operating system and what are its resources, such as, available RAM and free hard drive space. Have you checked your computer's virtual memory set up?
Stay the course on this to rule in or out the above non wmv approach to getting your slideshow as a DVD-VIDEO. But if you do decide to detour over to Save As File Movie .wmv and you are dealing with oversized photos and an offending component in the slideshow, the the writing of the .wmv becomes a possible focus point for errors. And, if the .wmv is destined for DVD-VIDEO, then use the file size (also known as profile) = NTSC DVD (720 x 480).
I suspect that the problem core goes to
(a) use of oversized photos
(b) offending component in slideshow
(c) size of slideshow
(d) computer resources
(e) combination of all or any one of above
I will continue to watch for your progress.

Creating Slide Shop in Photoshop Elements

I want to import a large number of approximately 500 digital images into Photoshop Elements and create a slide show. When I import the images from the Windows Explorer folder, the order of the images is different from my order arrangement before importing. This is a matter of a lot of images that have been rearranged. I have tried Multiple Image Processing to put the desired images in numerical order, but this does not help. Does anyone know how to retain the image order when importing into Photoshop Elements (or either Premier Elements)? Thanks

>Does anyone know how to retain the image order when importing into Photoshop Elements (or either Premier Elements)?
Do you have all of these images files for the slide show in the same Windows folder? And does the file name sequence designate the order in which you wish the photos to be shown in the slide show?
I am guessing that the answer to both questions is yes, because that is usually the case when people have prepared photos for a slide show before they import the photos to Elements.
For Photoshop Elements,
- start a
b Collection
to contain these photos for the slide show. Use Collection tab next to the Tag tab and do a New Collection.
- in the photo well that shows all the thumbnails, look in the lower left hand corner for a pull down box and choose
b Folder Location View
- find the folder that contains these photos within the folder location view and multiple Select all of the photos within this folder
- place these photos in the Collection by dragging and dropping the Collection icon on one of these selected photos. (Note all of these photos for the slide show must be selected at the same time while in the folder view) ,
- to display just the photos of that Collection, click on the box next to the Collection name
- select all the photos of the Collection and use the Create icon to start the slide show process.
With this process your photos then take their sequence for the slide show from the sequence of the Collection, which will actually be the file name sequence you created in that folder. (However, If you add more photos to the collection at a later time they add to the end and you will then need to drag and drop the new photos to the position you wish them to be.)
For Premiere Elements,
Still presuming that your answers to my questions at the beginning were yes and you have a file name sequence, I think that you can add that folder to the Premiere Elements Media Panel. When you do the Create Slideshow dialog, I think that Premiere Elements uses the file name sequence to determine the sequence of the slides.
Two general considerations
1 - whether you make the slide show in Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements, you should make the choice for default slide duration and for default transition before you start making the slide show. This is especially important for Premiere Elem where you can not do a blanket change on all slides.
2- with 500 slides, you will potentially need to downsize the resolution of your photo files before making the slide show in either product. Suggest that you post typical pixel dimensions or the megapixel resolution of your photo files. Also, what do you anticipate will be the duration of your slide show ? Will you write it to a DVD and play it on a TV?

Cannot open .png file in PhotoShop Elements 9

Hello,
I am unable to open a .png file on a PC with the following dimmensions:
Width: 4070
Height: 32305
I get the following error when I try to open to image file with PSE 9:
"could not complete request because of a problem with the file-format module interface"
The file was created on a Mac in Photoshop. However, Another employee was able to open the file on a PC in Photoshop CS.
She received the following message when she opened the file:
"The document Aplan_top5%_heatmap.png has an embedded color profile that does not match the RGB working space. The embedded profile will be used instead of the working one.
Embedded Profile: Generic RGB profile
Working Profile: sRGB Ie61966-2.1"
Can anyone explain to me why another employee can open the .png file in Adobe Photoshop CS (way older version) and not in PSE9?
Thanks for any assistance that you can provide.

If the pixel dimensions your gave are right W 4070 x H 32305,
then the document is too big for pse9.
Elements will only open documents of 30,000 pixels on less,
either width or height. In other words if the document size is greater than 30,000
pixels in width or 30.000 pixels in height, photoshop elements won't open the file.
Newer versions of the full photoshop can handle documents of 300,000 pixels.

Crop image in Photoshop Elements 9

how do i crop a photo to these dimensions 1500 X 1500 -could someone please help?
It's Version Photoshop Elements 9 - (I don't know if they are asking me to crop 1500 mm or Pixels) could you help with both ?

Dear sir or madam, when i went to (Image) on the tool bar and clicked "resize" then under the values blocks to be filled in, i typed the 1500 dimensions for both Height and Width in Pixels
- The Width automaitcailly changed it to 1640 ? whle the Height remaind the same and it shows at the top, overall Pixel dimensions 7.04M (i assume this is overall) ?
- The other way is to go direclty to the Edit / Create / Share columes off to the right hand side and under that is "QUICK" - there i am able to crop ...but when i type in 1500 on the upper value blocks it does not accept it ?
These are the only two wasy this version is allowing me to do anything... and i still don't know if any of it is right ?
The photos i have (that need to be exaclty 1500 x 1500 or 1200 x 1200 or 1700 x 1700) are at these dimensions currently:
1) Pixel Dimensions 11.8 M with a Width of 2125 Pixels
and Height of 1944 Pixels
2) Pixel Dimensions 13.5M with a Width of 2358 Pixels
and a Height of 1996 Pixels
OR if i chage each of them to Percents i can type in 1500 for Width but, it changes to closest value of 1272.26 Percent is what it reverts too
Sorry, coudl you help further ?

Making a book in Photoshop Elements

I read that Photoshop uses Shutterfly to print books; I am in New Zealand, do I have access to the same service as I couldn't find anywhere in Elements to do this?
Secondly, my book pages start with a title page which I presume is for the inside. I want to print a cover for the book also, do I need to do this separately?

If you have a CREATE button in elements, then choose photobooks. If you have a Shutterfly option, you will find it there. If not, no problem. On the Shutterfly website they provide blank templates for each size book. Follow the templates to create your own pages. They also provide templates for the cover, spine, and backcover. Otherwise, you can use the Shutterfly serviceand upload your pictures to Shutterfly and create your book there.
