Photoshop Elements 9 - effects missing

I am working with Photoshop Elements 9 and am having a problem in the Full, Edit mode where the effects tab is not working. When I hover the curser over the area I get a round white circle with a hash mark across it. Any ideas what might be going on ~ up until now I've had no problems and was using the program Sunday and then yesterday, it didn't work. Thanks for any help!

Close Photoshop Elements Editor and Organizer.
On Windows navigate to:
C:\Program Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Locale\en_us
Delete the file MediaDatabase.db3.
Re-launch Photoshop Elements Editor. A progress bar appears as the media database is re-created. Wait for this process to complete. It make take some time and the screen may periodically go blank.
N.B. If you have any of your own custom effects, you may need to re-create/re-install them.

Adobe Photoshop Elements Effect Problems

I own Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 and like to play around in it. I used to own a basic copy of Adobe Photoshop and two of my favorite tools were the lighting effect and lens flare tools. In my current version of Photoshop, when I try to use them, the message "The command "Lighting Effects" is currently not available." This also happens with a few other effects I try to apply, and I'm wondering how to remedy this. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Well, works perfectly here... (PSElements 6 “Mac”)...
Select your image or specify an area...
Go to Filter / Render / Lighting Effect.../ and specify your desired options...
If that doesn’t work, delete the preference file...
If that doesn’t work either, you might have to reinstall PS Elements...

Archive Part of Photoshop Elements is missing error message

My old computer died with the last Win7 update. I'm trying to reinstall my Photoshop Elements 9 on my new computer. When I try to download and run Part 2 of 2 I'm getting the error that the archive part of PS Elements is missing. Part 1 of 2 downloaded and extracted fine as far as I can tell. How can I get PS Elements 9 back? Thanks.

Unfortunately when I click the link for the first file (Windows), I'm
getting the following error:

Photoshop Elements 10 missing QtCore4.dll

Just installed Photoshop Elements 10 onto a 64 bit machine, made the mistake of using disk one initially, used the Windows control panel to uninstall the 32 bit Photoshop Elements 10 and then installed using disk two.
When I try to run Photoshop Elelements it says it can't start because QtCore4.dll is missing.
What can I do now?
George

I have since found several other programs stopped working, so used system restore to take my machine back a couple of days.
Everything now seems to work fine.
Why did the installation of Photoshop 32 bit go ahead on a 64 bit machine, when 32 bit Premiere recognised the difference and refused to install?

Styles in Photoshop Elements 10 missing

Photoshop Elements 10 styles are no longer available. Styles are in proper folder on computer but not within application. Is there a way to toggle them on/off?

See if this works:
Go to
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0
delete the
ThumbDatabase.db3
and delete the
MediaDatabase.db3
in
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Locale\en_us
Start the photoshop elements 10 editor and wait for Effects Database to rebuild, which could take 10 or 15 minutes.
Hopefully, then all the effects and styles will be back.
The ProgramData files are normally hidden in windows 7, so you have to "unhide" them before doing the above steps by enabling the Showing of hidden files and folders.

Photoshop Elements 7 Missing options on Menu Bar

I recently installed Photoshop 7 on my computer, I have Vista as my operating system.
I noticed that in the "Organize" screen, I am missing "File, Edit, Image, Etc.... options on the left side of the menue bar. I unstalled the program and reinstalled 7 again with the same result. I have looked at all the preferences I could find, but nothing that would alter the viewing of these Options. I have a registered copy of Elements. By not having these options, It is hard to utilize the "Organize Option".

And if you want to continue running at a screen DPI larger than 96 (so you can read your other applications), see this FAQ:

Photoshop Elements 11/ Missing Color Profile CMYK - Does anybody know why + what to do?

I am missing the color profile CMYK in the elements software I use.
I need to convert some data form RGB to CMYK.
Is there a setting I may change?
Thanks for helping
Regards,
ChrizB

If you only need to do this once, the easiest thing is to ask your printer to do it for you. They'll probably charge you something, but at least it will be done right. Properly converting to CMYK is considerably more complex than, say, converting from sRGB to Adobe RGB. There are a number of third party options for doing this--I think irfanview will do it in windows, and preview does it for macs, but those are pretty basic conversions that don't allow you to adjust for out of gamut colors.

Photoshop Element 11 missing serial number

Bought on amazon in Aug 13 (only tried to install it over a month ago (Dec 13) after buying new computer). It is not on the box, or under sticker on the box, or on the CD sleeve. I cannot return it to Amazon as the return window has expired in September. What to do? I have the box, order number etc..
Did the one month trial that is now expired.

I'd be inclined to scan the bill, then contact Adobe at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html#ac tivate-problem and explain what happened. As you're able to provide proof of purchase they may be able to issue you a new serial number.
If that doesn't help then I'd be inclined to investigate your country sale of goods legislation. Most countries don't allow a company to sell goods unfit for purpose and this legislation will take precedence over any guarantee or 'returns windows'. Selling a product that needs a serial number, without one, is not selling goods fit for purpose.

Photoshop Elements 6 Uninstall & Reinstall

In 2007 I bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 6. Earlier this year a pop-up message told me one of my files was missing and that I should reinstall the program. When I opened my "Add or Remove programs" tool, there was no listing for Photoshop elements 6. I even searched for a "uninstall.exe" file and found nothing. I recently had a computer repair technician try to fix a number of problems but after correcting several, my shortcut to Photoshop Elements was missing and even though this program's files were seemingly all in place, I could not open the program. Now after deleting as many of the 'PS Elements 6' program files as the system would allow, my computer won't respond to the program CD in order to reinstall Photoshop Elements 6 which came, new, from Amazon.com.

copy the installation files to a directory on your desktop, right click the setup file and click "run as administrator".

Where is the help in Adobe Photoshop Elements 13?

I've just purchased Adobe Photshop Elements 13 but can't find any proper Help. When I click on Help on the File menu, I am taken to a web page (Photoshop Elements Help | Photoshop Elements Help). It doesn't matter what I am doing (e.g. using the clone tool or trying to apply kerning for example), I always end up on this same non-context-sensitive web page. I am an experienced user of graphics software but am new to Photoshop Elements.
I'm trying to kern some text characters so I entered "kerning" in the Search field. The first "hit" was InDesign Help | Kerning and tracking but nothing they say seems to apply to my particular version of Photoshop Elemts - whcih being V13 is hopefully the latest. And who are they? Are they an official voice for Adobe? Their "help" was way off.
Could someone point me to the Help for Adobe Photoshop Elements 13?
As an aside, why does Adobe hit one with a 27 page legal agreement before one can install the software? I confess I didn't have my lawyer with me and may not have read all 27 pages.

I don't believe that you can kern in PSE as it comes out of the box. However, there is a very affordable add-on which allows one to do this. It is version specific.
About Elements+
BTW, Elements 13 itself is really good. I'm really pleased with its features and ease of use. It would just be nice to locate the relevant help more easily.
There are available several books which augment the native help files. Photoshop Elements - The Missing Manual - by Barbara Brundage is excellent. I have no commercial connection to the author or to the publisher. Don't hesitate to come here to the forum for help. There are many talented contributors. We look forward to your progress.

Can anyone help with Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 installation?

I initially tried the free trial of Photoshop Elements 13, but it wouldn't install. When I received an email suggesting I purchase the product on sale for USD 70. (ending January 3) I purchased it, and have now paid for it and received a serial number. On January 3, when I tried to install it, I was told downloading, extraction and installation were complete, but then it quit. I tried again, but only got as far as 'download complete.' I clicked on 'open bundle,' then got message beginning: "The file archive part of Adobe Photoshop Elements is missing..." I repeated the process and got the same message.
On January 5 I paid a computer professional to install it. He got it working and I actually worked on a couple of images, but it quit after about fifteen minutes, and I am getting the above message again.

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by 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).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

I was referred to 'chat' and 'forums' ... Chat chatted for a while then told me they don't support Photoshop Elements. Forums asked for my Skype ID and phone number. I said I prefer not to use Skype and they did not reply.
If you were to phone me at < personal info removed > and tell me how to get past this faulty download, I would certainly appreciate it.

you need both the exe and the archive 7z (file 1 of 2) files. put both in the same directory and double click the exe.

Photoshop Elements 6 Effects Missing

My mom is an art teacher and uses an iMac at work. She recently purchases Photoshop Elements 6 and installed in on her MacBook and iMac. No problems with the installation on her MacBook 2,1 but the Effects seem to be missing from the iMac. These are 2 screenshots to show exactly what I mean. The second picture shows what should be there.
http://i42.tinypic.com/wvo6ps.png
http://i39.tinypic.com/1eq6oh.png
She tried re-installing already but the problem didn't go away. I know this isn't the Adobe forums but any help would be appreciated.

That link provides a lot of misdirection.
You just have to set everyone to read/write. I don't know if I applied to enclosed items or not. All the contents of that locale folder have everyone read/write on my machine and all works fine.
So, if the enclosed items don't have everyone read/write, then you'd just use the Apply to enclosed items when you set the folder to Everyone read/write.
Every other folder and its contents in the Adobe Application Support folder has everyone read and write. It's just an installer glitch that failed to set the correct permissions on a single folder.
