Photoshop Elements 8 main screen menus and colors

Folks....My wife is using Elements 8 and has trouble reading the menus because the black color is hard to read against the background.  We have tried the Preferences/General/Lighten (or Darken) options but she would also like to try changing the color of the menu text.  Is that possible?  Working like this is causing eyestrain and results in a headache.
Other that this she likes the program.
I've noticed that in Elements 9 the menu text is white.
Thanks...GK

Barbara.....OK and thanks.  I guess I will have to listen to the complaints until we can upgrade her.  Did they address this issue in version 10?...GK

    What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
    In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

    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:

  • 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.

  • Photoshop Elements #11 dialog screen missing

    I AM UNABLE TO OBTAIN THE SCREEN THAT HAS THE ADVANCED DIALOG BOX ON THE LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER SO THAT I CAN STATE NAME OF CREATOR, COPYWRIGHT ETC.    I have had PS Elements since #1, and never had this problem.'    Yes, I have gone into Preferences and can set download option, but cannot get the screen I have just described.     PLEASE HELP ME

    HI,
    This still does not work.  I have tried to correct this several times 
    before by doing just what you suggest, but it does not work.   I click  on "APD
    Advanced Dialog", and it still does not appear when I load my  compactflash
    card.    This also DOES NOT bring up the  Advanced Dialog box where I can
    select either advanced or regular  etc.   Something is seriously wrong with
    this edition of Photoshop  11.   I also tried to acces the link you sent, and
    I cannot open  it.  - ???????
    We still have a problem that is not fixed.
    I still await your phone call either tomorrow (Friday) or Monday.

  • I have tried to download Photoshop Elements 10 three times now and it has crashed every time???

    I have tried to download Photoshop Elements 10 three times now and it has crashed every time.  I checked my settings and the format on my computer is Max OS Extended.  I read that 3 other people were having the same problem.  Did anyone figure out how to fix this or does Photoshop Elements not run on Mac OS X?

    Sfasolo it appears you are installing Photoshop Elements as opposed to downloading Photoshop Elements.  For the error you have described I would recommend reviewing Updated installation instructions | Premiere Elements 10 | Mac OS - http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/updated-installation-instructions-premiere-ele ments.html.

  • I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Element

    I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Elements, I keep getting the message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. I have tried reinstalling Camera Raw many times, and have tried to open many different raw files in Elements, and still get the same error message. Please help.

    How did you try to install ACR 8.8.  The only way I know of that works with Elements is to use the Updates Choice on the Help menu.
    There are two charts supplied by Adobe that explain your RAW dilemma.  This one tells you what your camera needs:  http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html   This one tells you what version of software you need:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    In your case, the Nikon D810 needs Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.6 or Lightroom 5.6.  (Congratulations on buying a new camera!)
    To get to that level with Photoshop Elements, you will need to replace your Photoshop Elements 12 with version 13.   Adobe caps ACR updates on version 12 at 8.5.
    The most convenient way to get around it without spending any money is to use the FREE from Adobe DNG Converter.  Download and install it from here for FREE:  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5855&fileID=5890  Once it is installed you can convert your D810 raw files to an Adobe RAW version with the .DNG file extension that most, if not all, versions of the various Adobe software programs can use.  That includes old versions of Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom.  DNG converter can be used as the tool to move your files from your memory card to your computer, is efficient, will convert in batches and is completely lossless.  There is no risk of any image quality degradation or RAW functionality.

  • I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 last August 2013 and having problems with installing it on Windows 8.1?

    I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 last August 2013 and having problems with installing it on Windows 8.1.  Why am I having this problem?

    You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account.  If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

    If the code you are trying to enter has letters then you are not looking at a serial number.  A serial number only contains numbers - 6 sets of 4 numbers.

    If you do not have it on disc, then download it, install it, and activate it with your serial numnber.  If you need to download it, if you purchased it online thru Adobe look for a link in your Adobe account online.  You can also download the trial version and activate it with your serial number...

    I lost my photoshop elements 7.0 serial number and i had not had it registered so i can't get it back. My old desktop broke and i would like to install photo shop on my new laptop. How can i get it back?

    I would first go to your Adobe Account and make sure that all info in it was correct and then match up all S/N's with your records. If you find any problems, then make corrections.
    If all matches, but does not work, contact Adobe and see if they still sell replacement DVD's for CS2. Adobe usually does, for a small price. Still, you will need your correct S/N, so you will probably be back on the phone to Adobe. When I once used them for a S/N problem, they were quick and did a perfect job.
    Good luck,

  • I have purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 on Jan 24th and have not been able to install it.PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!

    I am very frustrated and disgusted as I had purchased Elements 13 on Jan 24th and I have tried everything to download it and all to no avail, I have called for support and they were to call me back and still no phone call, I have tried over and over again to follow the directions but still to no avail, IS THERE PLEASE SOMEONE WHO CAN GUIDE ME THROUGH THIS AS I AM ABOUT TO GIVE UP ON ADOBE.
    THANK YOU
    ANNE

    Ok, Anne.
    Get the eye fixed first. Follow Barbara B's suggestion.
    The problem is that download. Try to get an installation disk from Adobe ?
    Ps. My wife has used Elements 6 for 5 years without an issue, but, it was installed using the . Adobe Software disk. We found 13 was really not much better..as there was a problem with converting  Canon RAW CR2 files to jpeg
    If all fails you could return it for a refund which they will honour.. I did it with  Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 ,which did not have a stabilizer and could not handle anamorphic HD very well.. When the upgrade came it fixed everything and has run perfectly for nearly 5 years.
    You should be very pleased with Adobe Photoshop Elements 13, when you get it operating.  We have  run  Photoshop Elements for over 10 years and it is faultless, Nearly as good as ADOBE Photoshop Pro which is easier to use and over 10,000 + images have been processed .
    Incidentally, both Yahoo with Flicker, Flickr: bobdixphotographer's Photostream and Google Photos+ (PICASA) Photos - Google+  have inbuilt editors for free, but, there are limitations.
