Photoshop Elements 9 brushes all messed up again

I am Not on the pencil tool that has nothing to do with it. Resetting my photoshop settings completely did not help. Thank you very much.
Normally when I'm using photoshop with my tablet my brush preview is shaped like a sideways diamond so basically it is really thick in the middle and wisps off at the ends on the preview. It's a normal brush that came with the photoshop and I've been using it ever since. Now it is a flat line with rounded edges for a preview and the brush is totally different. I don't really know how to explain the difference between the brushes but they are....and it's not that I'm on a different brush ALL of my brushes has this diamond preview and now NONE of them do and they are driving me crazy because I want my old brush back and I don't know how to get it back. If anybody else has had this problem please let me know how to fix it!

Hey ,
Are you still finding the issue then try choosing a different brush preset. A new brush preset you would find in the option bar of the tool you are using. Please tell the tool with which you face the problem. If you can attach the snapshot of the brush preview then it would be easier to resolve.
Thanks,

Installing Photoshop Elements 8 Changes All Program Icons to PSE Logo

I have a fairly new computer running Windows 7 Home Premium. I deactivated and uninstalled PSE 8 because it wasn't recognizing my camera(s) when connected to my PC. When I reinstalled Photoshop Elements 8, all of my program icons chnages to the PSE icon and all were rendered unusable. When I click on any program icon on the desktop or from the start menu PSE 8 opens. I deactivated and uninstalled Photoshop Elements 8 and all of the program icons and functionality returned. I tried reinstalling and the exact same thing happened. I had to deactivate and uninstall again since I can't figure out how to fix this.
I paid $89 for Photoshope Elements 8 and don't want to buy something else to edit photos. I also don't want to have to reformat my hard drive to try to make this work correctly. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Please try uninstalling PSE 8 using Adobe Clean Script which can be found at this link http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html. After successful uninstallation, reinstall again.
Also do not associate any of your file with PSE when you choose Open with for any file. Let me know your comments.
Thanks,

Photoshop Elements 9 Brush / Color Picker Problem

Hello,
I have been using Photoshop Elements 9 for more than a year, and recently I have been experiencing a glitch/malfunction of some sort with the color picker and hard mechanical brush tool.
As you can see in my example above, there are two things wrong: 1.) When the brush is painted, little grey crescents appear between the individual strokes of the brush. These appear even when I do not release the mouse button when painting. However, it only happens on a specific layer, and not on any other layer - in this case the layer entitled 'skin'.
The second malfunction is the color picker/foreground and background colors. As you can see, the foreground color selected in the example does not match the last color I painted (color splotch to the far left). The color that was actually painted was a far more saturated version of the selected color. Again, this only occurs on the 'skin' layer as well.
(My brush settings are: Fade: 0 Hue Jitter: 0 Scatter: 0 Spacing: 1 Hardness: 100)
Though these "glitches" are occurring often recently, I have found a temporary solution. Switching to another layer, then painting on it, then switching back to the malfunctioning layer seems to temporarily rid me of this issue. Yet and still, I would appreciate any permanent solution suggestions.
Thanks,

Delete the editor's preferences: quit it, then restart it (use the button in the welcome screen or organizer) while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

Photoshop Elements 7 brush help is needed.

I still need help with this problem:
My photoshop brush is messed up as shown in these pictures:
As you see my brush seems bumpy especially when in a bigger px.
When in a smaller px (like 1) it's still bumpy but before it was spacing/ it still does it now. (only for 1 px does it space)
Before this started happening I added brushes and some other things to it (could this be the problem?)
I deleted all the brushes (one may still be their?) Should I delete the other things to?
This is my secound post for this problem (the first one I accidentally put assumed answer)
Also some other things:
I already have resetted Pse 7/ deleted prefference about 6 different times.
I have resetted the tools + messed around with the additional tools options.
As you see in this Image it seems that the brush is faded (hence the spaces for 1 px?) but I do not have the fade on.
(Btw, this is for the default brush while the other one (on top, right) is for basic brush)
I have also mesed with the size of image but when it's zoomed out or in it looks better but still slightly bumpy.
I need the picture size to be 10 x 8 in especially for school work.
(The two first pics aren't 10 x 8 but different since I had resseted Pse (Even in 10x8 it's still bumpy/ odd)
Anyway if anyone can help please reply as soon as quickly and Thanks.

Hi Seki,
Actually the brush stroke is not actually spacing as you see it in the preview. You can check it out by zooming into the image. When you will zoom in you will actually see that the strokes are not spaced. It looks like as though the brush stroke is space because you have set brush size to very less 1 pixel and your image resolution is too high . That is why the brush stroke looks spaced but actually it is not.
Do reply if you face any other issues.
Thanks,

Photoshop Elements 8 Mac - All fonts look jagged and pixely

HI,
I have the problem that all fonts look jagged and pixely when using Photoshop Elements 8 on Mac OS X 10.6.3. I am using the right image size 300dpi and so forth. Interestingly enough this only happens in Photoshop. If I repeat the procedure in Pixelmator everything is normal.
I would really appreciate any suggestions.

Are you simplifying the font layer and then making it larger? Can you explain exactly, step by step, what you're doing?

Installing photoshop elements associated/changed all files on computer to photoshop elements files

I purchased Photoshop Elements for my mother while home during Thanksgiving. When I installed it on her computer, it changed all the files on her computer to photoshop Elements files, or rather, it associated all files to photoshop elements. I am sure this is an operating system issue. Can someone tell me why this is happening and give me a cure? She uses Windows 7. It is a 64 bit machine if that is important.
Thank you for any advice.
Andy

I have photoshop elements 10 with all updates but it will not import raw files from my sony rx100

Can anyone help. I have adobe elements 10 with all updates but it will not import .arw (raw) files from my sony rx100

Sony RX2 is supported in ACR7.2 and higher whereas PSE10 can go as high as ACR6.3
Thus you wont be able to open your raw files directly into ACR. You might want to download DNG convertor(version 7.2 or higher) and use it to convert your raw files to a different raw format (.dng) which is supported by all ACR versions.
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.2
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.2

Photoshop Elements 7 Brush help?

Usually i'm good with fixing problems on Pse but I just got this recent problem (brush problem) that I can't seem to fix.
As you see in the image every time I draw especialyl with 1 px it comes out like a broken line.
When it's a bigger px it also comes out wierd or even bumpy persay?
At that time I was also adding more brushes to my Pse,
so when that started to happen I reseted it about 3 times and even deleted the brushes
but it still didn't fix the problem.
Anyway If anyone can help please reply soon and Thanks ~

Hi Seki,
The bumpiness that you see in the brush strokes is the designed behaviour of the brush tool. Every brush type will show some bumpiness. In order to decrease bumpiness you can set brush hardness to maximum. You are able to notice it might because your image resolution is too low. No brush can show a smooth behaviour as after all it paints on a pixel and the pixels are arranged in a grid.
For the spacing that you see with brush with size of 1 pixel is not actually there.You can check it by zooming into the image.
Thanks,

Photoshop Elements 13 / Revel - All pictures not synced. Earlier pictures available, latest are not

Latest photos are marked with a cloud symbol but do not appear on-line in Revel.

Hi Did you find a solution to this? I am having the same problem, thanks

Error message; The catalog could not open because it is currenly in use by another programme. It was working ok before lunch, when I switched on again I got this message.I am using windows 8 on a laptop and Photoshop Elements 10.

Can any one provide any explanations and what I can do to put things right.
I cannot get into photoshop Elements 10 at all to do any thing.

Hi,
Can you please check "ElementsAutoAnalyzer" is running in background in Task Manager? Kill it and try launching Organizer.
Thanks

adobe starter edition has photo numbers by the picture such as DSCO0283.JPG , where can I find that number on the pictures in PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12--reason being that photoshop elements will not convert my catalog to version 12. If i had that number I could manually rebuild my collections into the photoshop elements 12, but all that i see in photoshop elements is dates and i have multiple pictures from the same dates. HELP! I

finally getting back to this project---adobe starter edition 3.2 is on a windows XP computer
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 is on our Windows 8.1 computer.
error messages--- had to give up trying to convert---I copied all our pictures to our windows 7 laptop and I installed adobe photoshop elements 12 (my bought program)
I wanted to try to convert there first. also I copied our catalog to this computer also. Everything was working fine I could see the collections just as they where on the XP computer.
then I tried to convert on the laptop. I believe the error said something about corrupt file, so I gave up that day. Next day I tried to open ADOBE STARTER EDITION 3.2 and it wanted an unlock code, no such code exists. and my copy of Elements 12 turned into a trial version which has expired. So I am a little hesitant to try to convert on the XP computer and mess up the existing catalog,
unless there is a fool proof way. I have tried manually making collections/ albums on Windows 8.1 and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 and coping pictures into the new albums. sloooow!!
I probably have about 4500 pictures and 150 collections/ albums to go. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

Lost CD for Photoshop Elements 11

I've lost my CD for Photoshop Elements 11 and need to download again.

if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

Photoshop Elements 10 won't open once closed unless computer rebooted

On a Windows 7 64 bit pc if I close Photoshop Elements 10 it won't open again unless I reboot the PC. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Thanks. That solution seems to work for me. It's sort of interesting so'll I'll add some other notes for posterity. I had set the Welcome screen to go directly to the Organizer. So, I was skipping the Welcome screen but not directly through the shortcut as recommended by p.hotodrawken
When I open from the normal shortcut PE 10 spawns six processes:
Adobe QT32Server.exe *32
ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe
PhotoshopElements 10.0.exe *32
PhotoShopElementsFileAgent.exe *32
PhotoShopElementsFileAgent.exe *32
PhotoShopElementsOrganizer.exe *32
PhotoShopServer.exe
When I shutdown by either File Exit or clicking the "X" these processes are left running. If I manually kill the processes using task manager or reboot then PE 10 will restart.
Adobe QT32Server.exe *32
ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe
PhotoshopElements 10.0.exe *32
PhotoShopElementsFileAgent.exe *32
PhotoShopElementsFileAgent.exe *32
PhotoShopServer.exe
When I open directly from the executable path fewer processes are loaded and they still don't all shutdown. But, the organizer will reopen from the shortcut even if they're orphan processes are present.
Startup directly to Organizer:
Adobe QT32Server.exe *32
ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe
PhotoShopElementsOrganizer.exe *32
Shutdown from Organizer:
Adobe QT32Server.exe *32
ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe
Thanks Ken for your help. It will be interesting to see if Adobe fixes the bug. But, I won't hold my breath.

Why is Photoshop elements 12 is freezing in OS X Yosemite?

I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite. Now, when I use Photo Elements 12 (PSE12), the programs freezes and I'm forced to "Force Quit." This freezing/hanging occurs when I use the clone stamp or brush tool.. A quick search online reveals that other are having this same problem (Links below). Is there any help out there?? Please!

http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/photoshop-elements-hangs-i n-yosemite

I just discovered, after prowling around in the Adobe users website, that the problem is probably in the trackpad. At their suggestion, I plugged in an old mouse, and voilà, Photoshop Elements 12 icons all work! **** of a solution, but at least it's a workable work-around.
