Photoshop Elements 9 changing page size/photo layout

Hello. I am using the trial version before purchasing. I like to print out photo album pages with about 9 photos per page in the 8.5x11 portrait format. However, all the "photo book" templates are in landscape and have only up to 3 photos per page. Is there an easy way to create my own template, or modify the page size and layout? I have spent hours with no success. Thank you for helping!

Can't help you, but you should know I'm having exactly the same problem in PSE 8. Even though the program specifies 8-1/2 x 11" (that's portrait, not landscape) and allows me to choose No Theme, and shows that both right and left pages should have vertical, not horizontal, pictures . . . I get everything flat and not tall.
Is there a way around this?

All my desktop files will now only open in the photoshop elements edit page. How can this be corrected?

As stated in my question I tried to open a manual I have on my desktop and it opened it Photoshop Elements edit page in a thumb nail format. I checked and all my desktop items will only open in the photoshop elements edit page. what do I need to do to correct this?

Now that we have your post in the correct forum, I have a few questions, please:
What is the file format of this "manual?"
What OS version are you running?
If this is Windows (a PC), then what is that file format associated with in File Types? It is likely that the particular format has been associated with PsE. If that is not what you want, the association can be changed from the Control Panel, to link it to the desired program.
Good luck,

I have now downloaded all the pictures in my camera directly into PSE Organiser. The pictures are all in folders listed by date the pictures were taken. Are they now safely housed in the PSE program?
PSE does not contain your photos. The photos are on your hard disk(s) somewhere, wherever they were put when they were moved from the camera to the hard disk (might be the default location chosen by PSE).
Can I delete the old Canon programs, which are still sitting on my Mac?
Yes
And if I want to back up on an external hard-drive, how do I do that? Just drag the whole lot across?
Your interest in making backups is to be commended.
There are many ways to make backups, including the way you just suggested. You can also create a backup using PSE (which I recommend) since it includes the photos and the very important catalog file. In PSE, File->Backup Catalog, and set the destination of the backup to your external HD. Remember to do this regularly.
Sometimes when I've used 'Smart Fix" or other tools in the Photo Fix toolbox, I'm not happy with the result. But how can I 'undo' a fix and revert to how it was before?
PSE should create a version set when you do any editing, including the Smart Fix. Thus, you just need to expand the version set (right-click on the photo) to see both the original and the Smart Fix. Then you can delete the Smart Fix version.
-- I want to create an album "Europe 2012", and within it categories for UK, France, Italy etc. But although I hit 'create album category' when Europe 2012 is highlighted, the category just attaches to the last listed album - something completely unrelated. How do I ensure categories are within the correct albums?
I'm going to strongly recommend you don't do this via albums (unless your intent is to share the contents of the albums online somehow, in which case use Albums). I recommend you use tags instead of albums for this purpose. You can create a tag called Europe under Places, and another tag under Europe called France. I would also recommend you not bother including year or other calendar information in the tag (or album) names. You want "Europe" as your tag, not "Europe 2012". Why? Because you can always segregate by year (or other calendar time period) using the PSE Timeline; there's no need to do extra work to segregate the tags by year (or other calendar time period).

Cannot change page size with acrobat

I am able to convert my manuscript in Mac word(2011) to adobe acrobat (XI); unfortunately the 6 X 9 " page size does not convert. I spent a few hours on the phone with adobe support and the final resolution was to upload the file to them and they converted it for me. however, they used distiller which reduced the file size and appears to have affected the many images. Does anyone have any advice? The best I have been able to glean online is work with inDesign to change page size.

Thanks.
The problem was with the paper size. In addition to change the page size I needed to change the paper size in the print option before selecting save Adobe PDF.
From Word go to File> Print
Open the Copies & Pages dropdown
Select Paper Handling
Check the Scale to fit paper size box
Open the Destination Paper Size list
Select your custom 6x9 Preset
Click the PDF button
Select either Save as PDF or Save as Adobe PDF
The unfortunate thing is that I was able to do this initially, but when I went back to replicate it adobe is creating 2 files one with my cover page and the rest to the manuscript. Luckily my initial copy was good. Thanks again for your help.

Change page size in Acrobat Pro 6.0

Hello, I'm wondering if there's a way to change page sizes in Acrobat Pro 6.0 for Windows. We are receiving manuscripts which have been assembled from various documents. They're going to be printed at 8.5 x 11, but sometimes some of the pages are 7 x 10. Is there an automated way to change all the 7 x 10 pages to 8.5 x 11? We don't want to have to do each page individually because there are too many of them.
Many thanks,
Coral

You could try printing to a new PDF with the PDF printer, setting the page size to 8.5 x 11 and setting the page scaling option to 'Fit to Printable Area'. This will hopefully leave the existing 8.5 x 11 ones about the same size (it may shrink them slightly) and scale the other sizes.

Introduce left/top margin: Change Page Size ignored

I have a vector drawing of a technical schematic in PDF. The drawing is an extract of a much larger schematic, so it is very small: 2.2" by 1.648". However, when I print it out, it is resized to fill up a Letter size paper (8.5" by 11") and the size is then perfect for viewing. Also, the PDF has no white space around the edges, so the same PDF is perfect for importing into documentation packages.
However, for hard copy printing, depending on the exact aspect ratio of the drawing, I will sometimes want to introduce white space along one edge for hole-punching purposes. I am opening the PDF and printing it from Acrobat 8 Professional. I cannot use Document->Cropping because I am trying to introduce a margin rather reduce an existing margin. I tried using the Change Page Size controls in the cropping dialog panel. Originally, it was set to Fixed Sizes and Page Sizes was set to None. I selected Custom instead of Fixed Sizes, then I entered in the Width and Height in inches, with the Height being about 0.5" more than the original 1.648" (it's landscape, so the holes will be at the top). However, the illustrative diagram does not change, and neither do the dimensions shown on it. I click OK and the PDF as viewed did not change -- no white space. When I go back into the Change Paper Size dialog, all the size data that I entered is gone and the control have reverted back to Fixed Size with a Page Size of None. I explored the dropdown list for Page Sizes, and none of them are appropriate for such a small diagram.
What I'm trying to achieve is a pretty simple effect, and I thought it would be straightforward. It has to be *very* simple as I expect to do this regularly. Is there actually a way? Ideally, it doesn't involve calculating all sorts of bounding boxes and offsets. Who knows what the assumed reference points for those are. In fact, the most direct way would be to enter a negative Margin Controls in the Crop Margins region of the dialog. That is not possible, of course.

Actually, I found a way. The reason why the page size was being ignored is because the numbers were too small. If I enter a big enough number, it sticks. It would be nice to get a message to that effect though.......sigh.
I can then adjust the cropping margins to get the gutter.
Thanks.

XI Pro: How to change page size?

I have a letter-sized document where each page has extremely large margins and text in a tiny font size. Can I use the 'Remove White Margins' function (Crop pages > Set Page Boxes) to remove the large margins and then resize what remains back to 8.5" x11" using the 'Change Page Size' function?
When I try this, I can do the first step and I'm left with pages about 5.5"x8". But the Change Page Size function does not allow me to resize the page.
It this possible?

Does iPhoto & photoshop elements share the same photo library

Does iPhoto & photoshop elements share the same photo library

By memory I assume you mean disk space. The best way to do that is to move your libraries to external HD's which are inexpensive. I keep my music, photo and movie libraries on EHD's which keeps my internal HD relatively free. My internal HD is 320GB however it still has 219GB free because I manage the internal HD for only the OS and critical files that are accessed daily. Here are two links that show how how easy it is to do:
iPhoto: How to move the Library to a EHD
iTunes: How to move the library to a EHD
If you get an EHD with a fast connection you probably won't see any difference in speed accessing files. If your machine has a FW800 port then use it with a FW800 EHD. Three drives I'd recommend for their quality and features are the:
OWC Mercury Elite Pro series
LaCie d2 Quadra series
G-Tech G-DRIVE series

Possible to enlarge white space by changing page size?

Greetings. I'm using Acrobat 10 pro now, but in 9 it was possible to enlarge the white space around the text by changing the page size as part of the crop command. This was very handy for creating an area large enough for text box comments. I can't find this capability in 10. Am I, hopefully, mistaken?

Select: Tools > Pages > Crop
and then double-click on the page. You'll then get the Crop dialog and you can select a larger page size in the CHange Page Size area.

Customizing page size and layouts

Three topics:
CUSTOM PAGE SIZE. There have been lots of requests for the ability to set custom sizes. One "easy" way would be to create page margins in the same way that padding allows cell margins. This way, a user can create (for example) a 10.5x9.5 "page" on a 12x12 platform. Particularly for those of us printing our own, it's one way to allow customization. All of the built-in layouts would then have to be scaled to fit within the page margins.
If this is done, the next logical extension would be to add a few common paper sizes to the Book Settings. This way, a user could create virtually any page size. For example 14W11H on a 13x19 sheet.
COPYING LAYOUTS. Would also be great to "copy-paste" layouts. After I pick a starting layout and then adjust cell padding, move captions, change fonts, and so forth, I'd like to replicate that elsewhere. In fact, I'm trying to create a left-page/right-page 11x11 on the 12x12 platform using cell padding, and it would be great to copy my customized "left-page" layout to all the left pages.
HIGH-QUALITY PRINT YOUR OWN. I've not yet tried printing via exported pdf on my local printer. Will it be as high resolution and as well color managed as if I printed directly from the Print module? I use icc profiles (some from vendors, some custom created) specific to each paper. I've now spent a lot of time narrowing choices of dual-sided paper to print my own books and I don't want to lose that capability.

Printing from the exported PDF. The quality I get is exactly just as good as printing any file directly.
I have two methods but they are for my Mac system, but I guess you can interpret them if you are on windows.
1 Set the desired parameters for the PDF in the book module (quality, profile to embed etc) and export to a folder
2 import into Photoshop and adjust the parameters if necessary
In Photoshop "save as" whatever file you wish which you can then print normally from PS or else import into LR and print with profiles from there
3 Printing from the PDF by opening in Adobe Reader, setting Page Setup and then "file-Print"
In Mac choose your paper preset, and under Copies and Pages drop down menu you can find print settings (color adjustment "off" etc.) and under color matching on Mac I choose Color Sync, and "Other Profiles"
which shows me all my custom paper profiles
Sorry for the long post
Another simple way on the Mac is to <right click> or <Control click> on the PDF file and choose "Open with Preview" It's important to choose the correct color profile in the Book Module before exporting to PDF so that the correct profile is used in Preview
