Photoshop Elements 9 Editor menus not showing

missing Quick/Guided/Effects menus in Editor

It's Windows...when I click on any of the tabs, Guided, Effects, etc, it's blank (black background).  It usually has the thumbnails, for example, under Effects, 'neon' 'sketch'   all that is gone.  A pop up shows up & states the Help content is missing & I might have to re-install.

Subject: Photoshop Elements 9 Editor menus not showing
Do you mean you can't see the words Full/Quick/Guided under the Edit tab? (There are no menus there.)  Is the Edit tab active and not Create or Share? Windows or Mac?

  • Photoshop elements (photo editor) does not start

    Photoshop elements (photo editor) does not start after replacement of the mainboard of the computer.
    We uninstalled the software and reinstalled it but it still refuses to work.
    System is Windows7 64 bits

    I have the same problem, does no one from Adobe look at this forum? I have done the mentioned things and nothing works. I am trying to get a project done and this very frustrating. I too should have gone with a Mac

  • Adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version

    adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version.HELP
    If I try to register 4 boxes circle endlessly.Why should I have to register editor separately from organizer?

    This is almost the same as the problem I had. I'm my case the Editor installed but not the Organizer! Adobe chat told me they no longer have chat or any other services for Elements 12. I guess they want people to buy their new Elements 13, but that leaves us in a bad place and doesn't say much for how Adobe cares about their customers After it moves on to their next version. I posted a message like yours over a week ago, and only got one email from an Adobe staff person, asking me to answer a couple of clarifying questions, but he never followed up on my response, so my problem is still unresolved. If you are luckier and are given a solution please let me know what it is -- it might work for me too, and I'd be very grateful!  My email:  [email protected]  
    Good luck.
    Have you checked whether you have folder for PSE Organizer?  It is normally at this location in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1:
    <C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer>
    If the folder is there then try double-clicking on the file called:  PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
    If the folder isn't there at all then you need to re-install the package again using your original disks or from download from Adobe website.  <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
    Hope this helps.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 Editor will not open from Organizer

    My Photoshop Elements 12 Editor will not open from the Organizer - after I enter my password to login, I just get a small spinning circle on the screen but the editor never loads

    HERE IS WHAT FIXED MY ISSUE when Organizer will open, but Editor will not:

         Re- name SLCache folder present at location "<root drive:>\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache"  (to oldSLCache for example)

  • Photoshop Elements 8 Editor will not open

    I'm running Windows Vista (Home Premium) on a Sony vaio laptop that exceeds (by a landslide) all of the requirements to operate Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.  The organizer opens just fine and functions properly.  When I try to open the editor (either through the organizer or by its self it states "launching" and does not open.  Instead within three to five seconds I get a small windows error window that pops up stating "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working" even though I can't even get the editor to open.  I've tried some of the support suggestions on the Adobe web site but clearly this is something else.  I've also removed and reinstalled the software twice with no changes.  I downloaded all of the windows updates as well.  PLEASE HELP!

    Re: Photoshop Elements 8 Editor
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.
    I found this in the Elements forum and it worked!!!!

  • My photoshop elements 12 editor will not launch

    when I click on photoshop elements 12 editor it will not launch

    Did you have to reinstall it?  I had Photoshop Elements 12 on my laptop; worked fine and I enjoyed it.  I had to do a system restore on my laptop; not related to Photoshop.  Afterwards, I reinstalled PhotoShop Elements and it won't launch for me.  A message appears that says my trial has expired.  I never had a trial version; I just purchased the software. Tech support is...well, not supportive.  I've spent hours with them with no success and I'm told my issue is a known issue but I guess there is no fix.  They just tell me to contact them again if it doesn't work...well, duh that's why I contacted them in the first place.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 Editor will not load

    all of a sudden elements 12 editor will not load.  It freezes when it says initializing panels.
    Any suggestions!!

    Start the editor from its .exe or application file or from the button in the organizer, while holding ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac).
    Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Editor will not open pictures

    My Photostop Elements 11 Editor will not open pictues.  I have tried to uninstall/install the product and this didn't work.  I can get it to work once in awhile and then it stops working again.  Suggestions?

    Go to the editor preferences>general, click this button and restart the editor:
    Uninstalling doesn't do anything about the preference files.

  • Photoshop Element 8's Bridge not showing RAW thumbnails

    Hello!
    I use PSE 8 on a Mac with Snow Leopard. I'm shooting with a Canon EOS 550D.
    Bridge used to display RAW thumbnails correctly, but it doesn't anymore. Just blank generic icons.
    Now, I've reinstalled Camera Raw 6.1 (the Photoshop Elements Version), I've purged the cache (both globally from the preferences and locally from the Tools menu) in Bridge, but nothing has changed.
    Thanks for the help,
    Daniele

    Thanks for that help. I had installed 6.1. It worked with my T2i  Canon but didn't show thumbnails (except as generic icons) In looking at ADOBE help for PSE you get the idea that 6.1 is needed. Deleted 6.1 and downloaded 5.7 and now thumbnail photos work.

  • IPhoto 9 - Photoshop Elements 9: Saved photos not showing thumbnails

    After editing iPhoto images in PE9 and saving them, I cannot see the updated thumbnail in iPhoto. If I double-click on the photo, I can see the edited version, but where is the updated thumbnail?
    I read Old Toad's advice to set the file saving preferences in PE9 to overwrite the existing file, and that helped with the problem of having a strange file window pop up when I tried to save in PE9, but if there's another setting to handle this thumbnail problem, I haven't found it.

    After editing iPhoto images in PE9 and saving them, I cannot see the updated thumbnail in iPhoto. If I double-click on the photo, I can see the edited version, but where is the updated thumbnail?
    How are you doing this? It sounds like you might be saving as into the iPhoto library rather than correctly setting PE9 as the iPhoto external editor and then saving (not saving as)

  • PSE Elements 9 Editor does not recognize scanner

    Mac OS 10.7 Lion. Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Editor does not recognize my scanner (Epson 3170 Photo) even though scanner shows up in Preferences Print & Fax. Awkward workaround is to scan to desktop and open scan in PSE9.

    Over in Windows, applications link to a scanner via TWAIN software, which is not included with Windows 7 - so the solution is to manually download the twain driver and install it 
    How do applications link to a scanner using a Mac, and does your OS include that driver?
